Date

25–29 August 2008

Scope of documentation for sprint

Audience: Basic Users Guide. Advanced Guide will follow after the Sprint

Draft Outline

Getting Started Guide for the file system, wireless connections, everything you do without Activities. Walter Bender has started with User:Walter/sandbox, which points out where the Floss Manual can be updated to be hardware-free (for example, his annotations with OLPC-XO-1-specific hints for keyboard shortcuts and specifics for the OLPC-XO-1 hardware). Updates should be made to http://en.flossmanuals.net/olpc_simple.

Getting Started with an Activity for specific Activities, such as Browse and Record. A starter manual for the Record activity can be found at http://en.flossmanuals.net/olpc_record. Priorities needed for which Activities to start first.

Recruited/invited writers (expect about 5-6 in person)
