Tony, we're so lucky to have you! So many contributors coming online
for Apr 6-10, more than we expected by far, how great can that be!
Make sure all others participating in this Doc Marathon are also
subscribed to followup discussions on [email protected] here:
http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/library
Yesterday's planning chat transcript posted here -- please all read it
and share your feedback:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/2012_Doc_Sprint_Planning_Chat
In quick summary, recommendations we came up with, that others will
clarify:
1. Tool Chain - permitting almost anyone to write a relevant
"Chapter"
Rather than FLOSS Manuals, "chapters" will be hosted at
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org and http://wiki.laptop.org using WISYWIG
plugins (SJ&BernieI will each try to install today)
Chapters MUST abide by Style Guide to be posted today, so
screenshots/grammar flow (Seth & Christoph)
SVG "screenshots" may permit faster internationalization
(WalterB researching)
TOC Draft to be posted to etherpad BEFORE we start 10AM EDT
Friday (SethW, CarylB, ChristophD)
2. Table of Contents - focusing on XO/Sugar's massive progress in
4 years, with some bonus XS, Learning/Lesson Ideas - NOT a deployment
guide, but something succinct+snappy, dare we say approachable+fun?!
HW Section
Core Sugar/Gnome ( greatest need to date, given Sugar's
transformed since Aug 2008's http://laptop.org/manual )
Core Sugar Activities
Sugar Learning Activities
3. Artifacts - We Will Deliver in HTML:
http://laptop.org/manual ~= Help Activity ~= per-Activity
"chapters" hip Sugar Activities might later incorporate (YES)
WikiText/WikiMarkup "chapters" (YES, wherever we can, though
writers will be free to compose on Google Docs, etherpad, Floss
Manuals/Booki/Book Type, etc)
Print Book? (NO, while universally desired, and may arise
later for Jamaica etc, NOT this week's project!)
Schedule will be consolidating+evolving fast here in Boston the coming
day as Seth Woodworth and all of us fine-tune -- thanks everyone for
bookmarking & editing & checking our wiki home base right here often!

Hi
it was suggested in IRC that this list was the best place for
asynchronous contribution to the sprint, so I have subscribed.
my understanding from IRC was that the best format for the master
document (from which secondary documents such as web sites, in
Activity help, print book etc could be derived) is minimally
formatted html with svg illustrations (svg because you can
automatically separate the text and translate it)
thanks all
I look forward to contributing
Tony
