OLPC Project Help and Information
For general help and information about the OLPC Project, please see these links at their wiki:
- Official OLPC FAQ, OLPC:Support FAQ, for questions about the XO laptop and its use, OLPC:Support, for more support mechanisms, OLPC::Category:OLPC FAQ, and Ask OLPC a Question (in roughly that order).

Policies
- Create documented process for requesting sysop priv, for now model on http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC:Administrators
Administrative privs are generally granted based on a need to use them to do "something good" for the wiki. At present, this is accomplished in a fairly informal manner, leaving a message on the discussion page or contacting one or more bureaucrats via wiki-mail would be a good place to start.
Further Reading
The best way to get involved in the wiki team is to monitor new content as it is added through the Recent Changes link in the Sugar Labs menu. Check to see:
- Is the new information correct?
- Is the new information in the correct place?
- Should the new information be merged with an existing page?
Wiki Infrastructure
- add svg upload support
- Wiki-barnraising, harmonization of familiar and useful templates, plug-ins, extensions (e.g. traclink,etc.) from OLPC wiki.
- InterWiki Map, at least to OLPC Wiki. Laptop: --> http://wiki.laptop.org/go/$1
- It would be good to get some countervandalism software (bot) running. User:Cjl has done some analysis of the vandalism (and countervandalism) actions on wiki.l.o and is interested in coordinating an effort that would cover both wikis with some automated countervandalism tools
Synchronize plug ins and templates
- Trac related
- Iframe
- Semantic MediaWiki
Other Community Wikis
