Line 1: − − == Templates / Barnraising == − − Do you know any way to bulk transfer templates from wiki to wiki? If no faster method is known, I've parsed a list of OLPC wiki templates (many will be applicable with minimal modifications) and placed it in [[User:Cjl/Sandbox]]. This page can facilite multi-window copy/paste review and transfer of templates. [[User:Cjl|Cjl]] 01:50, 18 May 2008 (UTC) − − :That'd probably be worthwhile. I've been cleaning things up as I go, but it would be faster to just copy... --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 01:54, 18 May 2008 (UTC) − − I transferred some heavily-used ones manually using multi-window copy/paste. We need to recruit some more sophisticated wiki-help to get things like plug-ins and extensions synched up so that (for instance, "templates with parser function", e.g. Template:GoogleTrans-en) transfer over smoothly. I pinged SJ about it, but he's busy. Maybe one of the wiki-admins are savvy enough, it's a bit over my head. I'm going quiet for a while, on the road, back in a week or two. [[User:Cjl|Cjl]] 17:04, 20 May 2008 (UTC) − − :Thanks. I'll try recruit a wiki admin!! Safe travels. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 17:48, 20 May 2008 (UTC) Line 24:

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 ==
== Thought on translations ==
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 [[Archive/Current Events]]. 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)

== Cambodia ==
Hi Walter, I'm a former OLPC-EU employee in Brussels, preparing a trip to visit my wife's family in Cambodia and to meet the Minister of Education of Cambodia. Saw you on http://wiki.laptop.org/index.php?title=OLPC_Cambodia&action=history ... do you have any special interest to Cambodia in particular? Can you team-up / coach me? Thx
: My recommendation is to contact Elaine Negroponte, who was there from the beginning and is still carrying on. Also, there is a chapter on Cambodia in my book, [http://www.amazon.com/Learning-Change-World-Social-Impact/dp/0230337317/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1358609557&sr=1-1&keywords=walter+bender Learning to Change the World].
