It is not too hard to contact people who post to any of these mailing lists, since they have to provide an e-mail address in order to do it. But there are many others in our community whom we cannot talk with currently, including subscribers who lurk on a list without posting.
This is a request to everybody in the community to make a User: page on the Laptop Wiki, http://wiki.laptop.org/. For example, my page http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Mokurai tells you what I am working on, how I got here, how to contact me, and a few other things. You don't have to follow my model. User name and real name are sufficient, or even just user name, if you never use your real name within the community. You don't have to provide explicit contact details. Just having the page lets others contact you, because you will receive an e-mail notification whenever someone writes on your Discussion page. I find it particularly frustrating when I want to contact Localizers for a particular language, only to find that they don't list themselves on the Pootle page, or that they list just their names with no User: page or contact information. You are also welcome to connect with me on LinkedIn, which I find the most useful of the social networking sites, or wherever else you find me. -- Edward Cherlin End Poverty at a Profit by teaching children business http://www.EarthTreasury.org/ "The best way to predict the future is to invent it."--Alan Kay _______________________________________________ Olpc-open mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc-open
