Hi all - I'm Anne Gentle and I've been working as a volunteer with FLOSS Manuals to coordinate the Sugar and OLPC documentation over the last year and a half. We have a pair of manuals for Sugar and the XO, written for the 8.2 release. The manual content also loads in the Help Activity shipped with each Sugar installation. For example, the Sugar Users Guide written at the Book Sprint last August can be downloaded or purchased here: <a href="http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback_book/sugar_users_guide/3865497" target="_blank">http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback_book/sugar_users_guide/3865497</a>. With the new 8.4 release coming up in a very short time, I've read through the users guide and the release notes at <a href="http://sugarlabs.org/go/DevelopmentTeam/Release/Releases/Sucrose/0.84" target="_blank">http://sugarlabs.org/go/DevelopmentTeam/Release/Releases/Sucrose/0.84</a> and come up with these areas of concentration for revisions. I'd like for people to jump in on any chapter they can help with. Ideally we can complete revisions and screenshot updates by March 13th to coordinate with the software release itself. I'll keep an eye on the content on that date and determine the best course of action, but I'd like to keep that as our goal.

Once these updates are completed, FLOSS Manuals will offer a printed book for sale on Amazon (once we get the process ironed out) and Lulu. PDF and HTML versions are always available for free. The Frame - <a href="http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Sugar/8_4/TheFrame" target="_blank">http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Sugar/8_4/TheFrame</a> Double-check all screenshots and descriptions to ensure they still match current reality. The Journal - <a href="http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Sugar/8_4/TheJournal" target="_blank">http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Sugar/8_4/TheJournal</a> Double-check all screenshots and descriptions to ensure they still match current reality. Personalizing Sugar - <a href="http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Sugar/8_4/Personalising" target="_blank">http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Sugar/8_4/Personalising</a> This chapter is about the control panel. I believe the Control Panel screen has changed (for example, it no longer says About your XO). Frame Configuration may have changed. Software Update may have changed. Launching Activities - <a href="http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Sugar/8_4/LaunchingActivities" target="_blank">http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Sugar/8_4/LaunchingActivities</a> Resuming from Journal may have changed. Journal inteface may have changed requiring screenshot updates. Turtle Art's interface has changed and the screenshot should be updated. Frame icons around "Stop" may have changed. Installing Activities - <a href="http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Sugar/8_4/InstallingActivities" target="_blank">http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Sugar/8_4/InstallingActivities</a> All of this chapter's screenshots should be updateed to show where you download Activities now. Activities Sampler - <a href="http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Sugar/8_4/FindingActivities" target="_blank">http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Sugar/8_4/FindingActivities</a> Turtle Art screenshot should be changed. Double-check all screenshots and descriptions to ensure they still match current reality. Add InfoSlicer Activity in the sampler set and take a screenshot. See if other Activities have been added that belong in the sampler. Turtle Art Demonstration - <a href="http://flossmanuals.net/write/WebHome/TurtleArt/" target="_blank">http://flossmanuals.net/write/WebHome/TurtleArt/</a> Double-check all screenshots and descriptions to ensure they still match current reality. Getting Connected - <a href="http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Sugar/8_4/ConnectingNetwork" target="_blank">http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Sugar/8_4/ConnectingNetwork</a> The Frame screenshot after Step 4: Checking the connection should be checked. I don't think the rest of the screenshots need to change but do double-check. Backing Up - <a href="http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Sugar/8_4/BackingUp" target="_blank">http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Sugar/8_4/BackingUp</a> Double-check all screenshots and descriptions to ensure they still match current reality. Conserving Disk Space - <a href="http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Sugar/8_4/ConservingDiskspace" target="_blank">http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Sugar/8_4/ConservingDiskspace</a> Double-check all screenshots and descriptions to ensure they still match current reality. Thanks all for taking the time to help out with this important release.
