Hmmm, no "Get Started" page that I know about. I did start with the  
original OLPC page for reference, excluding the local library  
collections sidebar, the page covered:

  - google search field (search the web)
  - olpc wiki search field (find olpc materials)
  - link to olpc wiki
  - link to project tracker (trac)
  - link to software repository (git)
  - local schoolserver (http://schoolserver/)
  - activities (activity wiki page)
  - collections (collection wiki page)

Isn't this kind of help covered by the updated FLOSS Help activity  
(i.e 1st class Activity rather than information hidden in default web  
page)?

Regards,
--Gary
