Introduction

People are needed mostly for writing and editing, but there are many other ways of making a useful contribution. For example, simply pointing out errors (such as typos, grammar and spelling, and technical errors) is an extremely useful way to help.

• Fix spelling and formatting errors
• Simplify the structure of long pages
• Organize untidy pages so that they are easy to read
• Fix broken links
• Add new documentation to the wiki

Before you start contributing to the wiki, you should read the Wiki Guide for information on how to edit pages correctly. See the Wiki Cleanup page for tips on cleaning-up wiki pages.

Cleanup Pages

The pages listed on CategoryCleanup are in need of a thorough cleanup.

These pages either:

• Do not follow the standards of documentation,
• Contain incorrect or out-of-date information, or
• Are formatted incorrectly.

Feel free to dive in. Tidy up a page and remove the Cleanup tag!

If you find a page that needs to be cleaned up, DO NOT add it here. Follow the instructions as laid out on the Tag page.

Getting Organized

Much of our work is getting the wiki organized. We look through [Special:Allpages] to ensure that content is in the correct place

Policies

• Create documented process for requesting sysop priv, for now model on http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC:Administrators

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

Pages Needing Love

Here is a list of pages which are incomplete or even contain just a discussion. We need to improve them as soon as possible to get more people involved by increasing the transparency of our infrastructure, code and processes.

• Community/FAQ
• DocumentationTeam
• Community/GettingInvolved
• TestingTeam
• Supported systems (rename to Distribution?)
• CodeReview
• ReleaseTeam/Roadmap and ReleaseTeam
• Meetings

Coordination

Coordination between wiki.laptop.org and wiki.sugarlabs.org.

We want to freely move content between w.s.o and w.l.o so that it lands in the most appropriate place.

Synchronize plug ins and templates

• Trac related
• Iframe
• Semantic MediaWiki

See the Community TODO list for more thing that need doing.
