Good morning everyone,<div><br></div><div>I added a modified version of the chapter structure to <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Help_Activity_refresh#Suggested_Activity_Chapter_Structure">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Help_Activity_refresh#Suggested_Activity_Chapter_Structure</a> which is based on a discussion with Walter.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Personally I tend to believe that we should start thinking about locking this down as the canonical, full version for each Activity. Again, your milage may vary depending on the Activity and I don't think we should consider this to be the absolute law. But it's a good starting point and since it's day 2 of 5 we should stick to it and move on with writing text rather than discussing this for much more (at least that's my 2 eurocents).</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm on IRC (#olpc-help) and Skype in case anyone wants to get in touch directly.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Christoph<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Apr 6, 2012 at 7:02 PM, Christoph Derndorfer <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:e0425826@student.tuwien.ac.at">e0425826@student.tuwien.ac.at</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I do believe that this should be separate from the "Applying" or your "Learning with" (which I much prefer over "Applying").</div>
<div><br></div><div>@Cherry: Given that the content we produce here won't just be available in the form of the current Help Activity (but also on wiki pages, a possible print edition, an online version, etc.) the length of a menu in one of these options shouldn't dictate our content choices IMHO. Aside of that: Which sections do you think we should consolidate?</div>
<div><br></div><div>@Tony: Similarly to my comment to Cherry I think that the alternative you suggest might well be better suited for a specific artifact such as the print edition but I do think there's a value to having "<span>where to get it" and "reporting bugs"</span> on other artifacts such as w.l.o. Plus I also think that the "where to get it" information (most likely pointing towards ASLO) is useful as it's a place to get updates, etc. while the Control Panel's Update functionality isn't completely doing its job.</div>
