The Khan Academy Lite site seems to be similar in purpose to that of
SugarLabs.
It might be good for comparison: https://learningequality.org/ka-lite/.
In this context, perhaps, the XO is one of the supported platforms. The
site could give download and install instructions for major
platforms: Windows, Ubuntu, Fedora, XO.
At the moment, we have an initiative to re-create the site as part of
GSOC as well as the initiative to weed the wiki but the two tasks should
be considered together to provide a coherent end product.

You don't need keys. You need a wiki replacement. You need to
do the work to create a replacement for wiki.sl.o. Then the
DNS can be changed. It's super-easy to say "let's do it" and
super-hard to actually do it. Put your wiki where your mouth
is :).
https://github.com/sugarlabs/www-sugarlabs is the replacement.
Hi all,
It seems this conversation has gone a long way from wiki gardening :)
My feeling is that the wiki does not serve _New_to_Sugar_ users well.
Moreover as there is a lack of reliable first steps information, new
content cannot be written referring back to such.
In general, I believe we need more content with screen shots aimed at
_New_to_Sugar_ users, but they would be better delivered via slide show
than scrolling pages.
New to Jekyll, I did not work out how to do a slide show in Jekyll and
Markdown. Can anyone point to a site that does this successfully?
So I just ploughed on and generated content using Remark[1].
An alternative Sphinx-based, slide show effort is used in SoaS
Loader[2], but the product became over-weight in detail.
I am submitting, again, my concept of a gallery[3] by way of
conversation.
Apropos wiki gardening, are there any views on what else is wrong with
the wiki?
One serious problem is that using "Search" button indicates material
which may be obsolete but unmarked as such.
Regards,
Iain

Once https://github.com/sugarlabs/www-sugarlabs/pull/19 is merged,
I'll ask systems@ to create two A records that point the sugarlabs.org
domain to 192.30.252.153 and 192.30.252.154, per
https://help.github.com/articles/setting-up-an-apex-domain/
