Hi All...<div><br></div><div>Actually, you might also consider some translations in the other direction. The guides by Mochilla Digital are excellent, though the screen shots are out of date:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://telmexeducacion.com/proyectos/Paginas/actividades-xo.aspx/Herramientas_pedagógicas">http://telmexeducacion.com/proyectos/Paginas/actividades-xo.aspx/Herramientas_pedagógicas</a> </div><div><br></div><div>They are done by Telmex and have Carlos Slim's name all over the site. I don't think they are cc but could be used as a guide for writing (without plagerizing) FLOSS manuals for Activities that are not covered by the FLOSS manual. That is how I first learned to use TamTamMini.</div><div><br></div><div>Caryl<br><br>> Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2011 00:54:59 -0500<br>> Subject: Re: [FM Discuss] sugar/olpc people...<br>> From: echerlin@gmail.com<br>> To: discuss@lists.flossmanuals.net<br>> CC: cbigenho@hotmail.com; olpc-Sur@lists.laptop.org<br>> <br>> On Thu, Jan 6, 2011 at 14:30, James Simmons <nicestep@gmail.com> wrote:<br>> > Edward,<br>> ><br>> > You probably are aware of how "Make Your Own Sugar Activities!" came<br>> > to be translated into Spanish.
