Hi again all,<br>Just giving a somewhat-weekly status update on the documentation. <br><br>I was able to get a volunteer to work on layout for the Word-based PDF manual based on the wiki page. Thanks Seth!<br><br>I now have a license for a copy of XMetal so I have a more-than-decent XML editor to do the DITA-wikislicing prototyping. Thanks to Michael Priestly and Amber Swope for their efforts to get me a nice tool!
<br><br>I synced up the Author-it instance with the wiki page on Tuesday and sent the Word doc and PDF file to SJ. I'll need to go through and re-do all the Activity screenshots as PNG rather than JPG and try to ensure consistent sizing on the page. I hope to work on that once I start adding information about the additional activities that are not yet documented. I had been emulating the 623 build but I need to work with 642... but... still need help with emulation (on Windows).
<br><br>I learned that I need to emulate build 642 to add MaMaMedia activities to the documentation in both the wiki and the Author-it instance. I haven't yet been able to emulate build 642. I will also email the devel email list with my questions about getting this to work. I downloaded the image file from
<a href="http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/os/official/648/jffs2/os648.img" target="_blank">http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/os/official/648/jffs2/os648.img</a> and tried running it using this command (which worked previously with the 623 build image on Windows using QEMU).
<br><font size="1">qemu.exe -L . -m 256 -kernel-kqemu -soundhw es1370 -net user -net nic,model=rtl8139 -hda os648.img</font><br>The emulation starts, but I get a "FATAL: Not a bootable disk error" nearly immediately. Any thoughts or ideas, anyone?
<br><br>A volunteer (Ed Montgomery) had translated an early version of the doc into French so I gave him some orientation with the doc translation volunteers. <br><br>I cleared the cache on my browser (Firefox) and the wiki started to load slightly better but I still some bad performance mid-week. Now it seems fine, though.
<br><br>Still need to order my XO and start working on a laptop sleeve pattern. :)<br><br>Enjoy the weekend. <br>Anne<br>
