The Help activity is about to be used on a bunch of laptops (via the<br>
G1G1 activity page/activity updater)!<br>
<br>
The activity itself was originally written by marcopg, and its content<br>
is being (manually) generated from the FlossManuals remix system:<br>
<a href="http://en.flossmanuals.net/remix" target="_blank">http://en.flossmanuals.net/remix</a> . It is a combination of chapters<br>
from the Sugar and XO manuals.<br>
<br>
Help test and improve Help! Write and improve Sugar/XO content at<br>
flossmanuals, find and submit bugs for component help-activity, make a<br>
new good-looking cascading stylesheet for the bundle!<br>
<br>
To try it out:<br>
(1) get Help from git:<br>
sudo yum install git<br>
git-clone git://<a href="http://dev.laptop.org/activities/help" target="_blank">dev.laptop.org/activities/help</a><br>
cd help<br>
./setup.py dev<br>
<br>
(2) get the Help xo bundle:<br>
wget <a href="http://dev.laptop.org/%7Ebjordan/help-3.xosugar-install-bundle" target="_blank">http://dev.laptop.org/~bjordan/help-3.xo<br>
sugar-install-bundle</a> help-3.xo<br>
<br>
Open bugs (blocking 8.2?):<br>
<a href="http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/8513" target="_blank">http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/8513</a> - doesn't look nice with screen rotation<br>

Thanks Scott, and apologies to all -- I did a crap job bundling help-3<br>
via zip (I was just told to get an activity bundle out quickly so<br>
people can hack on/fix it). Using setup.py is much, much better -- and<br>
look, it makes a MANIFEST :-D<br>
<br>
And for the lazy, you can get help-5:<br>
<br>
(1) through the activity updater<br>
(2) from <a href="http://dev.laptop.org/%7Ecscott/bundles/Help-5.xo" target="_blank">http://dev.laptop.org/~cscott/bundles/Help-5.xo</a><br>

I had a brief natter in the irc channel earlier today & tentatively<br>
suggested that a translation to en_GB could<br>
well be a good idea. Others in the channel agreed, and suggested that<br>
I mention the notion here.<br>
<br>
In order to do the work I need a bit of administrative help.<br>
<br>
How does one get a new language ( or language patois ) set up?<br>
<br>
There is mention of the 'git' source code control system. Do I need to<br>
install that locally?<br>
<br>
--<br>
Sincerely etc.<br>

hey<br>
<br>
i can set up translations. however do you think a en_GB is really<br>
necessary? Personally (as a en_GB colonialist) I don't care if something<br>
is written in en_GB or en_US (or en_NZ etc), its all info and I can deal<br>
with a 'z' here n there.<br>
