Talk:Tour Howto

This page looks like a good resource for new tour guides. A few points:

• There's lots of links that could be added to this page, like System Evaluation, Adoption, etc., so that tour guides, when they're looking at this on the wiki, can refer to these additional wiki pages if they need more info on the different volunteer jobs at Free Geek.

• Something else I'm concerned about is listing the specs of Freek and Grant Boxes. The specs change so frequently that it's good to just point to one place (which is often the web page at http://freegeek.org/freekbox.php - I think it's a little out of date right now). Otherwise you'll have to continually remember to update this page. Since this is a quickie-notes kinda page for tour guides, why not just instruct them to look at the boxes' keeper tags? Yea, you won't get info like hard drive size, but you will get speed, and it'll be apparent that a monitor, etc. comes with the machines.

FIGURES

On second thought, there's enough TEXT. I'm going to distill this down to FIGURES --Phil (?) from content page, 12/05

Seems like a good plan to have figures available. Tour participants often seem to ask things like "how much stuff have you recycled," etc. IMHO this is a role that can be at least partially served by the Stats and Testimonials page. I would like to see this document focus more on the route, and ways to introduce programs, and not get too cluttered with statistics. The statistics can be gathered at Stats and Testimonials and that way, they'll be updated in a central location. --Pete 10:44, 26 Dec 2005 (PST)
