=== enrico booked a new flight
ChrisHenrico: Why that? Working for Gentoo now?02:55
enricoChrisH: see my message in ubuntu-doc about the previous airline going bankrupt and canceling all flights02:57
enricoMan, this was such a PITA...02:57
ChrisH*lol*02:58
ChrisHLet's see if the hotel or Mark or the train company also go bankrupt. Oh, heck.02:59
enricoPlus a general strike here tomorrow, so I had to wake up at 4.45 to reschedule my girlfriend's flights for today03:00
=== enrico would feel more stable living in Bananas rather that in Italy at the moment
sid77_c'mon enrico, at least tomorrow you shouldn't have to be at university to take a test ;)03:03

enricosivang: got ya!05:17
sivangenrico : hi!05:18
sivangFinally I am online..05:18
enricolulu: around?05:55
enricolulu: I'd like to ask about the relationships between the translation teams and the documentation team05:56
enricolulu: Many people write in ubuntu-doc offering help for internationalizations, and I wonder if the docteam should also handle internationalization or if there are already i18n teams05:56
enricolulu: That is, it's unclear to me how i18n work is organized in ubuntu05:56
enricolulu: Could you help me clearing it out?05:56
luluenrico: Daf is working with translators on translating Ubuntu.05:58
luluenrico: the doc team is encouraging translators who wish to translate documentation to set up their local language on the wiki and begin...05:58
luluenrico: I am corresponding with a company atm to get linguaplone done for the site.05:59
enricolulu: does that mean that if people offer help with i18n we shold refer to daf for application i18n and help setting up a section in the wiki and working with the docteam for local documentation?06:00
=== enrico doesn't know much about linguaplone, but can imagine
luluthat is the natural division atm.06:09
luluwe need to link the two teams better. Let's include that as a point in the BOF in Spain and have people contribute their ideas beforehand on the wiki....to give us a bigger picture of what both teams think we should be doing...06:09
enricolulu: sounds meaningful to me06:09
luluenrico: can you get a page set up and faciliate this discussion on the two lists?06:09
=== enrico considers pasting this conversation in the list
enricolulu: two lists... you mean ubuntu-doc and ubuntu-devel or there is some ubuntu-i18n list?06:09
luluenrico: to both....and get the wiki page up to collate ideas.06:09
enricolulu: sure: I can take care of this06:09
luluenrico:there is a translators mailing list.06:09
enricolulu: ok, I'll look that up06:09
luluubuntu-translators@lists.ubuntu.com06:09
enricolulu: thanks06:09
=== enrico activates
=== enrico emits loud lorry engine noise
luluenrico: Rosetta should be ready by Mataro so this will make the integration much easier/better06:09
enricolulu: I'll be curious to finally see what Rosetta will be about06:09
=== sivang [~sivang@box79162.elkhouse.de] has joined #ubuntu-doc
luluenrico: You know from the previous conference that it is a translation tool. But all will be revealed shortly.06:09
enricolulu: yes, I know that but I still don't know about its scope06:09
enricolulu: I just know it'll be amazing :)06:09
luluin the interim - I think a brainstorm on how to get translators and the doc team working together will be a good beginning. Let us know when the page is up and seeded with a few of your ideas.06:09
luluenrico: thanks for doing that :o)06:09
enricoIt'll be UbuntuLanguages06:09
enricolulu: it's my pleasure and my duty06:09
lulu:o)06:09
sivangenrico : hi again06:09
sivanghi lulu06:09
sivangwhat will be amazing?06:09
sivang;)06:09
sivangenrico : I went to the lib which is working 2 more hours here..06:09
lulusivang: hiya! 06:09
sivanglulu : Hi lulu! 06:09
sivanglulu : were you talking about rosetta?06:14
sivang:)06:14
lulusivang: yes.06:14
sivanglulu : oh, there is one thing I wanted to ask regarding the conf,06:14
luluand how translators and doc team need to work together - we need to get that brainstorm going asap. Enrico's onto it.06:14
lulusivang: ask away...06:14
sivanglulu : I'm listed with the wlecome to python BOF on the 15th :) Now, as I don't mind giving such , I will not be there on the 15th as we all know :)06:14
sivanglulu : I will hopefully stay online for the time being and help enrico 06:14
sivangon it also, I have been reciving requests from various translators for co operation already06:14
lulusivang: draft - may be a few probs to iron out. Jeff will be putting the last BOFs up - and we'll move things.06:14
lulusivang: good - please add these ideas/queries to the wiki page so we can work on a strategy to work together effectively.06:14
sivangok, no prob. I would be honnoroed to give a talk before Scott :) with him continuing on "Python Everywhere" , I would also not want to miss that by him, I'll talk to Jeff06:14
sivangenrico : rehi! :)06:14
sivangenrico : ok, let's set on some wiki and docteam planning now :) win is enough for that I guess :)06:15
sivangenrico : first, I want to create a formal page on the main site for the doc team, with updated goals and current works, as we set and agreed not long ago , outline the streamlines list of goals with the 1)Ubuntun Book06:16
sivang2) Shipped docs06:16
sivang3) Doc Infrastructure06:16
sivangetc..06:16
sivangwhat else did we have?06:16
sivanglulu : when will be set to go on moving the new faq from the svn to act as a main faq? how comfortable are you with this?06:17
enricosivang: I'd use DocumentationTeamCurrentWork for that06:18
sivangenrico : ok, so we just go and fill what we are onto , and send a request to ML for others? I think john has sent a request for update also..06:18
sivangenrico : how can we also go about trimming down the huge amount of wiki pagees? as we discussed before , do you agree also the wiki should be a small repository of docs, with only few main pages of brainstorming and updates?06:19
enricosivang: I'm getting lost06:21
sivangenrico : oh sorry, let me restart..06:22
sivangenrico : (reading my stuff I see I'm lost also :)06:22
lulusivang" I have an FAQ upload answer - let me find it...06:24
luluand elmo is talking to hornbeck on the Ubuntu svn server.06:25
=== enrico created UbuntuLanguages
sivanglulu : ok, so it will get uploaded there? how is it going to be incorporated in ploney? :)06:25
enricoI'll now try to get to daf to discuss how to announce that in the i18n community06:25
sivangenrico : what is the announcment about?06:26
enricoAbout updating UbuntuLanguages if someone starts a new language project06:27
enricoAbout current works, I started trying to keep track of what happens using 'planner' (apt-cache show planner)06:28
enricoI don't like planner's philosophy centering on commercial projects, but it's useful to keep track of who's doing what06:28
luluenrico: is the wiki not good enough to track who is doing what?06:29
enricoHowever, a summary of the big Docteam ongoing efforts can be at the beginning of DocumentationTeamCurrentWork06:29
enricolulu: to be honest, it was a long time I wanted to try this planner/MrProject software :)06:29
enricoAnd yes, the wiki is probably good enough06:30
luluenrico: ok - but the more layers of complexity that is added, the less inclined people are to get involved. Keep it straighforward and easy.06:30
luluis at all possible.06:30
enricoI don't plan to spread the use of planner anywhere06:30
enricoI swear! :)06:30
luluis -> if06:30
luluok :o)06:30
enricoI have quite a long wishlist bug to be reported in my mind06:31
enricoIt just isn't made to track volunteer-driven projects, imo06:31
enricosivang: still around?06:39
sivangyes06:39
sivangI'm will be for a while, I want to assist in getting some stuff done06:39
enricosivang: would you like to get started in packaging the FAQ?06:40
sivangenrico : yes !06:41
sivangenrico : [what about the other stuff, wiki streamlineing content, plannig]  ofcourse!06:41
