Line 17: + − I think it is interesting to share that pre-production I followed [[How to present Sugar]]. As my idea developed /Presentation was aimed at parents ( my children), and /Explore at very young new learners, (their children). I then edited out some more "clunky" parts to try to avoid addressing any reader in a pejorative way and out of self-consciousness! I notice I have completely removed any sense that a parent can follow /Presentation in their own time while a child could work through /Explore at their own speed. I am not an Adobe fan but I find a .pdf presentation useful because its stability aids orientation. − In my experience well written copy addressed to an eight year old can be understood by most adults and participating children, and easily speed read by an expert.--[[User:Inkyfingers|Inkyfingers]] 04:34, 6 December 2011 (EST)

I have also preferred to avoid hiding links that go off-site. My reasons are to avoid distraction, simplicity, and orientation.

: This can be useful in context, however, the standard wiki style includes a large number of hyperlinks for reader-directed, non linear navigation, best determined by the reader, as is common on [[wikipedia:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] ([[Wikipedia:Wiki#Navigation|described here]]). Within this context, one learns to follow hyperlinks only for a reason, rather than because they have been presented. Within a tutorial, one presumably submits oneself to the navigation of the author, so links that may distract would be carefully chosen. --[[User:FGrose|FGrose]] 15:35, 6 December 2011 (EST)

:: The links to the Floss manual seem entirely appropriate. The link to [[olpc:Sugar_Control_Panel#Access_the_interface]] is the only link with which I have difficulty. I see that http://en.flossmanuals.net/sugar/ch007_home-view/ would not make a good alternative. The other bug with the "current" version, is that reference to USA keyboard is '''hidden''' on opening. [[Sugar on a Stick/Explore]] is direct and helpful in addressing the keyboard issue to users outside the USA. My first motivation [[Talk:Getting_Started]] line 1, was to highlight this helpfulness, the "current" version obscures. --[[User:Inkyfingers|Inkyfingers]] 18:12, 7 December 2011 (EST)
