== great job ==

I noticed you're doing an enormous amount of work on the wiki. Thanks! [[User:Bernie|bernie]] 12:09, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

== table of contents ==

I wonder if we could configure mediawiki to always display the content table on the right instead of littering all the pages with the same directive? [[User:Bernie|bernie]]
:I haven't found anything like that yet. It's better as the template call than the full instruction:
<code><nowiki>{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="clear:right; margin-bottom: .5em; float: right; padding: .5em 0 .8em 1.4em; background: none; width: {{{1|auto}}};"

== Wiki barn-raising ==

I think it would be very helpful to harmonize certain functional elements between the Sugar Labs wiki and the OLPC wiki so that usage of certain devel-specialized wiki-text elements transfers easily from one to the other. I'm making a first pass at templates (and some categories) via facilitated copy-paste (see [[User:Cjl/Sandbox]]). Thanks for the pointer to PyWikibot-building, which I'll study, but probably not master usefully anytime soon.

A more experienced Wikipedian (''hint, hint'') should tackle plugins and extensions as listed on [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Wiki OLPC Wiki], especially '''traclink''', '''iframe''', do you know anyone that could handle that? [[User:Cjl|Cjl]] 18:16, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
: moved to [[Wiki Team]] on advice of Dfarning...
:: Thanks! [[User:Sj|+sj]] [[User Talk:Sj|<font color="#ff6996">+</font>]] 16:03, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

== COVER IMAGE ==

=== C is for collaboration ===

Collaboration is a first-order Sugar experience: the interface always shows the presence of other learners who are available for collaboration all the time, not just when connected to the Internet. Students and teachers dialog with each other, support each other, critique each other, and share ideas. In designing your activity, you should consider how the collaboration might enhance the experience. Collaboration can range from sharing objects to real-time multi-pointer interaction. Pick the degree of collaboration that best meets your activity's learning (and entertainment) goals.

=== V is for "view source" ===

Sugar accommodates a wide variety of users with different levels of skill in terms of reading and language and different levels of experience with computing. Sugar is easy to approach, yet it does not put an upper bound on personal expression. The learner is able to peel away layers and go deeper and deeper, with no restrictions. This allows the direct appropriation of ideas in whatever realm the learner is exploring: music, browsing, reading, writing, programming, or graphics. The source code of every activity is viewable through the system-wide view-source mechanism (Fn-space on an OLPC-XO-1; Alt-Shift-V on all computers). Think about other ways in which you can encourage the user to modify your activity. Look at TamTam, TurtleArt, Memorize, and Browse for inspirations.

=== R is for reflection ===

The Sugar “Journal” records each learner's actions: what they create and how they create it. It serves as a place for reflection and assessment of progress—the basis of a portfolio. Think about what object and meta-data your activity stores in the Journal. How can those data help the learner reflect upon their work.

Love it (DoI spoof) - I've often wanted to make a mad-libs-style Declaration of Independence, as I've already, on two separate occasions, done this type of surgery on it and found it very amenable to it (there is nothing new...).
[[User:MartinDengler|MartinDengler]] 12:26, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
:I think it is a testament to the brilliance of it's (original) author that it is so adaptable and that it's voice is still potent, I can only lament that of late, the U.S. Constitution does not seem to have held it's own in quite the same manner. *sigh* [[User:Cjl|Cjl]] 03:04, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

== wiki template transfer fu ==

alas, not off the top of my head. It seems like the thing that's easily scriptable, but I wasn't able to find any such scripts/bots/fu via the Goog in a quick search. Maybe folks on #mediawiki would know? [[User:Mchua|Mchua]] 06:03, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
: [http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywikipediabot/ Pywikipediabot] has been a core part of a whole slate of use cases and libraries, some of them specific to bulk transfer of pages. search for "pywikipediabot" and "clone" to find some relevant implementations. [[User:Sj|+sj]] [[User Talk:Sj|<font color="#ff6996">+</font>]] 06:11, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

== extensions and plugins ==

I won't have time for two weeks or so, but would be glad to help organizing a barnraising for this wiki, and to package and pass on the little extensions I've written for the olpcwiki. Do you want to start a project page on olpcwiki about it to organize people's thoughts? There are actually other barnraisings to start too -- Uruguay has its own wiki, for instance -- so perhaps a http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Barnraisings page is in order. [[User:Sj|+sj]] [[User Talk:Sj|<font color="#ff6996">+</font>]] 22:39, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
: This was a good idea; on dfarning's suggestion, I've moved your comment to [[Wiki Team]] (despite my aversion to CamelCase -- where's the style guide page for debating such madness? :)

First to type on your user:talk page, what an honor. When it all seems like too much, as I'm sure it must, I've left something [[User:Cjl/Random_musings| here]] that I hope you might find amusing. [[User:Cjl|Cjl]] 20:56, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

== Thought on translations ==

Before you spend a lot of time on translations via the translations template, consider the potential of the ''GoogleTrans-xx'' templates I'm starting to develop/deploy on OLPC wiki. Note, it will require the same plugin/extension magic-dust currently installed on the OLPC wiki to be sprinkled here before they will work.

*''GoogleTrans-en'' for starting from English page [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/The_OLPC_Wiki#Machine_Translations (example)]. Click on Spanish and continue browsing rest of wiki in espanol inside Google frame.

*''GoogleTrans-es'' for starting from Spanish page [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Lambayeque (example)]. Click English and see that page and any linked lang-es page in English.

* 20-odd other variations possible

The idea is that you want to lower language barrier, but you don't want your most valuable trilingual (1 lang-en, 2 lang-xx, 3 wiki/Python/C/Linux/Sugar/etc.) assets spending a lot of time on keeping up with rapidly evolving edits. By the time a page becomes stable, it's probably too late to get meaningful input from a mono or bi-lingual non-lang-en audience (like teachers, local coders, etc.).

For wiki pages, I think that any translation '''now''' is better than a great translation '''later'''. Allows you to lower language barrier immediately (in a usually good enough manner) and reserve human translation effort for Pootle and tech-phrasing sensitive pages. Try the provided links to OLPC wiki and let me know what you think. [[User:Cjl|Cjl]] 19:39, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

:I was playing with it on the OLPC site earlier today. I agree, it is a decent compromise that is resource-efficient. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 21:23, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

== Current events date convention ==

Walter, I'm not sure I get the link-naming convention you are using on [[Sugar Labs/Current Events/Archive]]. The text there that says "2008-06-16" links to [[SugarLabs:Current_events/Archive/2006-06-24]]. Is one start of week and the other end of week? You and I have reverted each other on this (maybe even twice), and that just seems like a silly misunderstanding to have. In the spirit of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BRD WP:BRD], I may just be missing the convention you are using and I'd like to I understand it. [[User:Cjl|Cjl]] 18:14, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
:I need to move all the pages to the correct date. I accidentally started naming them based on the date I moved them into the archive instead of the date I created them. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 21:31, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
::I was assuming the date of publication on IAEP was the operative date and I had crossed-checked against the archives there to do the last rename/relinking I did yesterday, which you reverted today. No point in operating at cross-purposes, so much to do to move forward without tripping over each other. [[User:Cjl|Cjl]] 21:36, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
:::I must be tired (I was up all night flying over the Atlantic and in meetings all day today--hence the late posting). I thought I was exposing the publication dates in IAEP even though the pages in the wiki. I defer to you. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 21:41, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
::I'll take another pass at it, carefully checking against the IAEP archive pages again. I do much of my wiki editing from 22:00 - 03:00 local time, so I'm just as susceptible to error as the next guy :-) [[User:Cjl|Cjl]] 21:49, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
