Need To Know: How to get the latest Help Activity on Macs and PCs???

[Caryl Bigenho]

Hi Walter, 


The Help Activity we want to work from is 11.3.0. It is version 13 and was updated by Bastien, David Farning, and Brian Jordan.  I don't think they did anything with the Turtle Art Activity. As far as I can see, the last work on it was done in 2008 during, or soon after, the Book Sprint.  I you have 11.3.0 running on an XO you can check it over and be sure of the status and contents.  
We should be able to import chapters from other FLOSS manuals, such as your Turtle Art manual, although I have had some difficulty making it work.  Tuukka wrote the latest version of booki and he is going to check it to see if there is a problem that needs fixing.


Sandra Thaxter wasn't at the SF Summit but has signed up to help with the Turtle Art sections.  You may wish to contact her and sign up to work with her. Links and directions for doing so are here: http://j.mp/xomanual


People will be working remotely and then cutting and pasting their work into booki or entering it directly at the booki site. That is why we need to know how to get the current version on our laptops. Then everyone can work in the mode they are most comfortable with.
