====Update/remove old content on wiki.laptop.org====

−

[http://wiki.laptop.org/ wiki.laptop.org] contains a lot of information about Sugar that is outdated, while more up-to-date and more complete pages on the same topic can often be found on this wiki (the ~~Sugarlabs~~ one). Please consider reviewing those old pages and either replacing them by links to the appropriate ~~Sugarlabs~~ wiki pages (preferred) or updating them (with the risk of them getting out of sync again). A good starting point are the [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Category:Installing_Sugar "Installing Sugar" pages]. Those often recommend using an "emulated XO" or running sugar-jhbuild. But as [[Downloads]] shows, the recommended ways to get Sugar (for non-developers) is to either burn [[Sugar on a Stick]] or install distribution packages.

====Edit the wiki====

* If you don't want to edit the page directly, each page has a matching 'discussion' page, which you can reach by clicking the 'discussion' tab/button at the top. These pages are meant to collect reader comments and questions relevant to the parent page. See for example, [[Talk:~~Welcome_to_the_Sugar_Labs_wiki~~]].
