Folks, First, thanks are due to kreneskyp, sayamindu, uwog, dgilmore, rsmith, marco, wad, rwh, and hhardy for contributing to the state of our knowledge of Update.1 by updating tickets in Trac. Everyone else: get behind us, review these bugs, and help push out this release! See
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Test_setup_for_Update.1_builds for rough-cut instructions on how to try out update.1-70x builds. Next, the good news: thus far, q2d14 functions as advertised (allowing us to close #5422/#6245) and I have heard good things about telepathy-salut-0.2.3-1 (including how wad intends to put it through the wringer tomorrow). I remain hopeful that the localizations in olpc-library-core-1-23, olpc-library-common-1-23, and the Spanish console keyboard will satisfy our Spanish-speaking clients. Spanish-speakers: please test these facts, report back to us, and update #6685 and #5841! Then, the bad news: in a fascinating conversation with the support-gang (yay, support-gang!), it was made plain to me that recent Update.1 builds have received little or no testing by folks who aren't building them. In light of this datum, we should consider the question: "who do we want to persuade to try out U.1 and what support do they need from us?" With this question in mind, Henry and I have opened #6747 based on a short list of "places that a novice user encountering U.1 unprepared might go looking for help". A brief survey of these loci showed how truly hard it is to find accurate information about U.1 and its audience, strengths, limitations, and escape routes. Last but not least, the Update.1 Release Notes which Kim was kind enough to stub out for us at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Update.1_Software_Release_Notes could really use your help. Please assist in writing them in as you are able. Thank you very much, Michael P.S. - Are we all in agreement that we intend to take what we've got in hand now rather than holding U.1 any further while we seek answers to our presently unanswered networking, performance, and power management questions? Speak now or forever hold your peace...
