NanoNote Personalities Program/zh-hans

个性化程序[1] 你知道那些闪烁着不同俏丽色彩的可换壳时尚手机吧？NanoNote会用不同的“组合”来提供不同功能，也就是所谓的“个性化”。

个性化样例：

• 图形化计算器
• 电子拼读辞典/翻译器
• 游览伴侣（wikitravel / openstreetmap）
• 拼字游戏
• 新手编程语言(python, pascal, etc)
• PDA
• 古登堡电子书阅读器（Gutenberg ebooks reader）

每种个性化方案，都将以可下载镜像，和作为NanoNote（后文皆简称ＮＮ）组件的ＳＤ卡预装发售的形式提供。每张ＳＤ卡都会有一个定做的标签来展示它上面安装了哪些个性化组件。 Every personality would be available both as a downloadable image and preinstalled on SD cards sold as NN accessories. Every SD card would have a custom sticker to show at a glance which personality is installed on it. There would be a little case or slipcover for the NN that would include a little compartment for an SD collection.

Company responsibilities:

• Pay an artist to work with personality development teams on a

 a splashscreen + tiny SD sticker art for each team

• Pay good tech writers to develop user guides for each personality;

 bonus points for paying tech writers to help out on developer docs!!

• Provide hosting for personality development teams, but also support

 mirroring of install images for teams that want to use their
 own server

• Hire knowledgable and good-tempered customer support engineers

 willing to shield developers from grumpy customers and
 customers from grumpy developers

• Handle retail of the pre-installed SDs, including the custom

 stickers for branding (also offer stickers separately for those
 who want to download images to already-owned SD)

• Offer to donate some portion of pre-installed SD / sticker profit to

 project designated by leaders of corresponding dev team

Developer team responsibilities:

Most of the personalities would use the openwrt base, but some of the ones intended for hacking might slap the NN kernel into another embedded distro, e.g. a gentoo embedded experiment (gentoo has mips support).

• Work with artist to come up with custom splashscreen

 and SD sticker art

• Make sure the official splashscreen for the personality gets

 displayed at boot

• Answer questions from tech writer regarding user guide

[1] "program" in the sense of "something you can participate in",

   not in the sense of "code a computer executes"
