Talk:Sugar help

A newbie suggestion to remove some duplication between this page and Get started

1. Study Getting Started.

2. Sugar Labs FAQ <Sugar Labs/FAQ> - compilation of the team FAQs

3. Search this wiki.

[assumption that the top half of this page provides entry-level help.]

a) Most pages in this wiki are tagged at the bottom by “Category:”. Try using the search bar at the top of this page to search for “Category:” to see if you find your subject ... add improved wording.

b) You can see all the pages tagged “Help” here: <Category:Help>.

See also <Category:FAQ> - an index to all FAQ pages.

and <Category:HowTo>

c) ... Perhaps elaborate search tips? + Navigation bar on left hand side.

d) The Undiscoverable <The Undiscoverable>

4. OLPC Project Help and Information

5. Forums.

6. I have a suggestion: Help_requests might be more tidy and productive on a new page.

7. Sugar glossary <Glossary>

8. Former sites—these have a short history of problems, but are no longer preferred by Sugar Labs.

I have made an .html version of this draft, the above is basically the headings taken from that version.

Let me know if I can e-mail it to you. --Inkyfingers 06:53, 27 October 2011 (EDT)

Feel free to begin implementing changes; fresh perspectives are important for continuing improvement. --FGrose 13:49, 27 October 2011 (EDT)

Thanks. Can you give me feedback on "Help requests might be more tidy and productive on a new page."--Inkyfingers 18:35, 27 October 2011 (EDT)

I agree. The exploration path we would want to support might proceed from the Sidebar 'Get help' -> 'Sugar help' (Finding help information) -> 'Request help' (on A, B, C, ...) --FGrose 18:56, 27 October 2011 (EDT)

I have left a section at the bottom unfinished - I did not actually check it was all duplicated. I was going to come back to the style for headings, esp. in relation to Contents, depending what the finished job looked like!--Inkyfingers 22:16, 27 October 2011 (EDT)
