Re: [Sugar-devel] Potential volunteer offering technical writing
Hi Martin, Could you please shed a light on which manuals in FlossManuals make up the Help Activity? Some of us who will be jumping in to refresh it don't know much about the history. Right, here I am not sure if you have seen: the current Help activity is a combination of several floss manuals mixed together. And it looks like it may have some tweaks and customizations. Thank you! ---Cherry On Wed, Oct 5, 2011 at 9:36 AM, Martin Langhoff martin.langh...@gmail.comwrote: On Wed, Oct 5, 2011 at 12:13 PM, Gonzalo Odiard gonz...@laptop.org wrote: As for the use of FLOSSManuals as the source and L10n workflow for the Help Activity, sadly, I think the more pressing challenge may be the lack of documentation of the process employed by Seth and his collaborators in the original Help Activity creation from FLOSSManual sources. I am not worried about that. Well, yes and no :-) The help activity is only a modified Browse activity with a lot of html files in a directory. I think there are different tasks and will be done by different people at different times: * Create a updated version of the documentation in Floss manuals. Yes * Update the help activity Right, here I am not sure if you have seen: the current Help activity is a combination of several floss manuals mixed together. And it looks like it may have some tweaks and customizations. * Translate the manuals (like we did with 'Make your own Sugar Activities') Yep, though I think on this track we all agree that you'd really make a different activity for each language... Would be good if the new manuals are cloned and we can keep the old ones to the users using the old version of Sugar +10 on this. Some Sugar versions are widely used... m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

Thanks Martin! Unless they're named differently or have another version in a different name, here's what I can find when I do a search on All Manuals: XO manual (Introduction, Getting Started, Battery, Network, Support, Appendices): http://booki.flossmanuals.net/xo/_draft/ Browse Activity Chapter: http://booki.flossmanuals.net/browse/_draft/_v/1.0/ Write Activity Chapter: http://booki.flossmanuals.net/write-activity/_draft/: Record Activity Chapter: http://booki.flossmanuals.net/record/_draft/ Turtle Art Activity Chapter: http://booki.flossmanuals.net/turtle-art/_draft/ Sugar (What is Sugar section, Interface Chapter, Activities Chapter) : http://booki.flossmanuals.net/sugar/_draft/ There are other incomplete activity chapters already set up in FlossManual. ---Cherry Sounds about right? ---Cherry On Thu, Oct 6, 2011 at 7:10 PM, Martin Langhoff martin.langh...@gmail.comwrote: On Oct 6, 2011 6:28 PM, Cherry Withers cwith...@ekindling.org wrote: Could you please shed a light on which manuals in FlossManuals make up the Help Activity? Some of us who will be jumping in to refresh it don't know much about the history. To be honest, I don't really know. Here's what I know: - open the help activity - look at the left-panel navigation TOC - open the Sugar manual -- you'll see lots of topics aren't there! So the topics that aren't there are in general from manuals about a specific activity. There is also a flossmanual about the XO itself -- I think some chapters from there have been included. On flossmanuals, there is an option to make a book or something like that. When you do that, it lets you pick and order chapters from many manuals. Perhaps that's what's been done -- perhaps the mix was prepared on the flossmanuals website. It is trivial to see if you look at both the Help activity and the stuff on flossmanuals. cheers, m ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

The OLPC XO 1.75 machines (beta units) are starting to be distributed to developers. This machine is ARM based, which means that it will have superior battery life once all of the fine-tuning is complete. It also means that it uses some different components, e.g., audio circuitry, so there is some driver work to be done. But so far, so good. One of the nice things about the 1.75 is that the OLPC engineering team threw in a few additional sensors. Saadia Husain Baloch got the accelerometer working and I immediately wrote a Turtle Art plug-in (included with v114). Saadia wrote a fun 'etch-a-sketch' program in Turtle Art that works by shaking the machine. Not to be outdone, I added an enhancement to the Portfolio activity while I was on a short flight last week. If you hit the left side of the XO, it will advance to the next slide. If you hit the right side of the XO, it will return to the previous slide. The person sitting next to me on the plane told me, That's the strangest thing I have ever seen anyone do with a computer. The bottom line is the more sensors the better: we want to give young learners more opportunities to observe and interactive with the physical world. The accelerometer is fun to use indeed. I just made an Etoys project that lets you steer a ball by tilting the XO-1.75.
