Hi Allan,
I have downloaded the liveCD version of the OLPC
<http://olpc.download.redhat.com/olpc/streams/development/LATEST-STABLE-BUILD/livecd/olpc-redhat-stream-development-build-303-20070312_1639-livecd.iso>,
successfully run it via virtualBox. I was impressed by the
revolutionary desktop design.
Anyway, I know that this is not yet final, and some additional features
and retouching may be added later. My suggestion would be to make the
desktop more colorful that will be more attractive to Children's eyes or
can be customized. I like the mouse cursor's design, but other color
instead of black will be more attractive to children ...
In addition to thinking about attractive color options, we should keep
in mind the importance of ensuring that user interface color choices
don't preclude children with color blindness, and that we can provide
sufficient choices in color schemes (and in font sizes!) for a range of
vision impairments.
I've recently put together a lot of information about accessibility
requirements for OLPC (and really, for computers in general) on the
wiki, at: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Accessibility An awful lot of the
material there applies to what we do with Sugar. We've also just
started a mailing list to discuss accessibility issues:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. I'd like to invite interested folks to
participate in the just-now-starting discussion there.
Thanks,
Peter
