Hi Ben Hur,
Try going to the project wiki (
https://wiki.opensource.org/bin/Working+Groups+%26+Incubator+Projects/FLOSS+Desktop+Refurbishment+and+Distribution/
) then search for the linked text, "shared Google drive." That link
will take you to a Google Drive folder. In that folder is another
folder called "Make Worksheets." The worksheets should be in there.
Let me know if you are still having problems,Patrick
