<craigzim> \]
<Kilos> hi craigzim
<Kilos> and other peeps
<craigzim> evening Kilos :)
<Kilos> :)
<elacheche_anis> Why guys in #ubuntu are so mean :/ :(
<Kilos> im not there
<elacheche_anis> <elacheche_anis> Hello guys! I'm a heavy user of http://wiki.ubuntu.com and I need to automate adding some content to a specific wiki page.. Is there a way to script that?!
<Kilos> tell them who you are elacheche_anis
<elacheche_anis> <SOMEONE> elacheche_anis, personally i'd put "automated updates of public wiki pages" in the category of "if you should be doing this you should definitely be able to figure it out yourself"
<elacheche_anis> Whom am I Kilos ! Just an other Ubuntu noob..
<Kilos> nope
<elacheche_anis> :( That's how I feel right now
<elacheche_anis> :(
<Kilos> you ubuntu clooaked
<Kilos> they should see that and show some respect
<Kilos> or they think you know everything already
<elacheche_anis> :/
<elacheche_anis> I was trying to help someone Ubuntu-tn facebook group for about 2 hours now..
<Kilos> eish
<Kilos> #ubuntu arent very friendly
<elacheche_anis> yep.. :/
<Kilos> i only asked there once for help
<Kilos> they wouldnt even tell me to use sudo
<Kilos> just command without sudo
<Kilos> i got nothing done with help there
<Kilos> elacheche_anis  why not asl ahoneybun or one of them
<Kilos> ask
<elacheche_anis> let's try x)
<Kilos> he is very helpful
<inetpro> hmm....
<inetpro> I would not recommend getting anything to do automated updates on the ubuntu wiki
<inetpro> performance is bad as it is
<elacheche_anis> inetpro, update 1 wiki page once a month will not make it worst x) :D
<inetpro> elacheche_anis: what are you trying to automate?
<elacheche_anis> I starting thinking that I should drop the whole wiki page that I want to update x)
<Kilos> lol
<inetpro> or even update
 * inetpro just trying to understand the problem
<elacheche_anis> inetpro, I have a main goal that centralize all my LoCo activity in the Wiki.. We had a wiki page that show the team members Karma.. Last update was in 2009 I think.. It's hard to maintain a such page.. So I thought that I should automate the process of updating that wiki page..
<elacheche_anis> I already script something to get Tema Karma from LP..
<inetpro> can you show me the link?
<elacheche_anis> A sec
<elacheche_anis> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TunisianTeam/Teamkarma
<elacheche_anis> Last update was in 2009
<elacheche_anis> Or I find a way to automate this or I'll remove that page and find an other way to showup the team karma x)
<elacheche_anis> I can't remove that page :/ We save the memory of one of our most active contributors in their.. He past away on 2010.. I should find a way to keep he's memory..
<inetpro> elacheche_anis: interesting page
<elacheche_anis> inetpro, there is only 1 name in there still a little bit active.. Most of those names I never knew.. I joined the LoCo in 2009 and became one of the leader by 2011..
<elacheche_anis> The real Karma now is far lower than that.. :(
<inetpro> elacheche_anis: how about saving the output on a private blog or some other external page and just linking to it from the wiki
<elacheche_anis> That's what I was thinking about 1 min ago, after initiation this discussion with you and others on other irc channels x)..
<elacheche_anis> Thanks for trying to help me inetpro :)
<inetpro> I have seen discussions about moving the wiki to something else like mediawiki or is it wikimedia and any scripting would automatically break such a migration
<inetpro> or would make it even more difficult to migrate
<elacheche_anis> Yeah it's not that easy to do that :/
<inetpro> just a thought
<elacheche_anis> I'll just import my script result to a site webpage and redirect wikipage to it..
<inetpro> elacheche_anis: if you still want to do a scripting solution on the wiki I would suggest asking at http://askubuntu.com/
<ubuntiste-msakni> Thank you inetpro :)

<Na3iL> back, all going good Kilos ty :D
<Kilos> great news
<Kilos> keep it up lad
<Kilos> ahoneybun Na3iL does our wiki page for us
<Na3iL> ty Kilos
<Na3iL> Hello ahoneybun
<Na3iL> my first time to see you here! :D
<Kilos> yes im looking for translaters for him Na3iL
<Na3iL> I saw the project in github and I have forked it, I will help indeed
<Kilos> ty
<Kilos> he will be happy to hear that
<Kilos> hehe im clever hey
<Kilos> if i help him he wont fight me so much at meetings
<Kilos> hehe
<Kilos> just joking
<Na3iL> hahaha xD
<ahoneybun> fight?
<Kilos> haha
<elacheche> ahoneybun: Yo!
<elacheche> ahoneybun: No need to translate lines like "msgid ":ref:`genindex`"" because that's something that will be autogenearated, am I wrong?
<ahoneybun> yea just ones with human text
<elacheche> Emm.. You know what, I think that I'm no longer good for tranlation contribs :/ Espacially for French ones, Maybe you should ask for Ubuntu-fr guys to help! And for the Arabic translation I'll try to contribute and ask the Arabeyes community to..
<elacheche> I didn't did tranlations for 2 or 3 years :/
<elacheche> I can translate short text, but not long ones.. :/ I'll make huge mistakes on that..
<ahoneybun> it's fine elacheche no worries
<elacheche> ahoneybun: I thought that I can do that again x) I finished the index.po but couldn't do big thing in the pragphas from the other files..
<elacheche> ahoneybun: wanna join #arabeyes to try to find somone that can help? arabeyes is an OpenSource Arabic translation community, they even created a technical arabic dictionnary arround FOSS terms
<elacheche> and #ubuntu-fr for french version
<ahoneybun> in time, I need to make sure I can get this to work
<elacheche> I'll be there in case you need me to communicate with them..
<ahoneybun> elacheche: you fork kubuntu-manual ?
<elacheche> yep ahoneybun, already tranlated the 3 strings from index.po.. But I'm not creating a pull request as I believe that I'm not qualified to be a tranlator.. Not anymore
