Hi all, Adam Hyde of Floss Manuals and I have had some discussions about how best to serve the hardware/software/os separation for the XO and Sugar on Floss Manuals. Here's what I'm proposing after our discussions. Please, give me your feedback. I plan to post this description to the wiki.sugarlabs.or/go/DocumentationTeam page for review by the greater community beyond this email list, also. I plan to build out the scaffolding for this architecture once we've tested it out pretty well. I think it holds up except for difficulty with key shortcuts on different hardware, and differing deployment scenarios.
There is now a set of guidelines linked from each of the starter manuals. (yes, this URL may change based on the naming suggested below) http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/OLPC_TurtleArt/WritingConventions. I have not yet written graphic guidelines as FM doesn't support SVG yet. _Content for Sugar_ URL: flossmanuals.net/Sugar_guide Use Walter's content that David brought in to http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Testing/TestChapter (thanks David!)
