</div>I agree. As I used it, I learned to use other sources of guidance<br>
instead. The material on <a href="http://sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">sugarlabs.org</a> and <a href="http://laptop.org" target="_blank">laptop.org</a> presumes too much<br>
foreknowledge.<br>

</div>Taking your feedback into account, I've reworked the page.<br>
<a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activity_Team/Git_Tutorial" target="_blank">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activity_Team/Git_Tutorial</a><br>
<br>
Please review, comment, or edit accordingly.<br></blockquote><div><br>I made a few changes... the download file system is a bit different than you described. I also did a first pass at reworking the description of git on the Activity_Team ;page itself (incorporating Sascha's text and pointing people towards your tutorial.)<br>
<br>Art, if you could add more clarity there, it may help the next person who comes along.<br><br>-walter<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
