Clustering a book sprint around (and including) the wkd of Apr 7/8 when
several including myself, Christoph, Nancie S. etc should be in Boston,
might make a ton of sense?
But others should speak up if they have better ideas!
As I'm spending a lot of time in Haiti these days and lost track of the
rich world's schedules, but will happily join if
Caryl/Christoph/Pablo/ALL driving forward enthusiasm to make this real =)

Can we bring this together with a focused doc event? a 5 dayer to
complete the work and move it on to a new level?

Everyone who can pitch in taking screenshots of critical/latest
Activities is an absolute hero, particularly for these Activities
included in Release 11.3.0?

Update our manual-refresh's wiki here please if so, no matter how you
choose to help!

hi
I would like to propose a doc summit for sugar/olpc. Fm can facilitate
a series of sprints to get everything up to date. However we would
need to work together to raise the funds to make it happen. I am happy
to put work into this from our side (FM) - who can take the lead from
Sugars side?

Yesterday we discussed with Sridhar Dhanapalan and other
OLPC-Australia team
people the impact of updating the Sugar version on their
deployment. One of
the unforeseen impacts comes to the documentation they have made for
training their teachers, as it has plenty of screenshots and videos
that got
outdated because of all the UI changes made recently. This will
bring an
important amount of work for updating...
One of the things that could be very helpful for them would be
having the
floss manuals updated. I took a look at the manuals of "classic"
activities
and they weren't updated. It would be great if some of the
contributors who
worked on those manuals could lend a hand for having them updated.
Looking further, I think there should be some way for keeping the
activities
documentation updated, or at least having a single place to see for
each
activity how much updated its documentation is. Looking for ideas
for having
this done.
Would it make sense including documentation updating in the
upstreaming
process somehow?
Perhaps a coincidence? I was corresponding with Adam this morning
about the possibility of organizing a sprint to update the Sugar
manuals. I was going to put out a call for a champion on the Sugar
side to help organize it. Any takers?

The discussion with Pablo was on the same topic, so not just a
coincidence.
Our OS (based on Dextrose 3) is mostly Sugar 0.94 as included in OLPC
OS 11.3.1. We've made some changes, but nothing too drastic. Updated
documentation on Sugar 0.94 and its activities would take us most of
the way there.
