Syamindu, sorry for late response.

+ I think people using non-XO platform could make use of lang pack.
   Will the proposed technology work on non-XO platforms like "sugar
on stick" or Ubuntu?

+ Could you explain proposed directory structure and file layout that
the lang pack will install, so that we could validate the design with
Etoys?

Urgent need of wireless certification

[Pia Waugh]

Hi all,

Could someone please point me to any wireless certification the XO has
(European if possible) which should have been a requirement for selling them
in the UK. I urgently need this certificate to complete the registration of
the device in Australia and the Pacific. I completed the EMC certification
process, but to register the device I need the wireless certificate.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Pia

Design notes for Moodle as education tool

[Martin Langhoff]

Last week I had a good chance to sit down with people from the Edu
team @ OLPC, and we fleshed what were the main changes we'd need in
Moodle to make it work for our users. The focus was on constructivism
and making things easier for kids 6-12.

The wikipage is here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Moodle_design


We wanted to keep it simple and achievable :-)

cheers,

I see work on Dari, Pashto, and Uzbek for Afghanistan. How about
Hazaragi and Aimaq? Do you need Tajik?

We have an Arabic language Qur'an Activity, and we also have the Sword
Activity, which can handle any texts, dictionaries and commentaries in
any number of languages. What would your country like to make
available to its children?

What other Activities would be specific to Afghanistan? Music?
Literature? Games? Art? History?

Hi Ebtihaj,

would like to know more about your software development tasks, what is
OLPC Afghanistan going to work on?

installing fonts How To

[S Page]

Someone e-mailed me a huge HTML document that uses Comic Sans MS heavily.

The discussion page for Fonts had a link to installing a TTF font on the 
XO, and I got it to work.  So I added a section on this to 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Fonts#Installing_fonts, also a section on What 
fonts are already installed, a guess at why ~olpc/.fonts doesn't work, etc.

* It seems I didn't have to restart the XO or Sugar/X or even restart an 
activity -- Write's font menu showed the new font the moment I switched 
back to it.
* I'm not sure about the legality of what I did.

Maybe a font expert can improve 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Fonts#Installing_fonts , edit away.

Thanks on behalf of XO users.
