Revision as of 07:50, 28 October 2011

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

Most directive links aimed at new learners

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 ... explain
b) ... Perhaps elaborate search tips? + Navigation bar on left hand side.
c) The Undiscoverable <The Undiscoverable>

Less Directive

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 made an .html draft, let me know if I can e-mail it to you. --Inkyfingers 06:53, 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)

Mid session review

Firstly on a personal note thank you Fgrose for digging me out of a pickle. It was a mistake for me to try to change so much so quickly with my level of experience. It was a mistake to remove headings - my intention was to achieve a fresh start - error. Thank you for putting them back for me.
