froudThese are all the sections that are marked help as of r54607:34
froudBTW. If  you see sections marked review and you think they are as good as finished. Please do mark them complete07:34
Lizoh..ok07:35
Lizim decided to start from the bottom actually...07:35
froudwell that is a good way to start07:35
Lizyeah..07:36
Liztho..some things i might have to actually enable, to see what they do..hehe07:36
froudIf you mark a status as complete and it contains an authorblurb then please <!-- comment the authorblurb -->07:37
froudKeep text simple and quick. My thinking is that we need to get at least all texts into the document07:37
froudthen we can add to it later07:38
froudif we have all intro para texts then at least users wont see just the word 'Text' under the screenshot07:38
froudfrom this point we can build more.07:38
froudalthough we must take care not to get to carried away, this is the Quick Guide afterall07:39
froudWe will have plenty more to write in the User Guide07:39

jeffschthanks. I still figuring out how to use x-chat08:20
Lizfroud..any idea exactly what movement key actually does?08:20
froudmovement key?08:20
Lizunder computer, desktop preferences, windows08:21
Lizits the last option..ive tried it..but i cant see what it actually does08:21
plovs_workLiz, it is to move windows around, usually you grab them with the top-bar08:23
plovs_workbut you can also press alt and then anywhere in the window press the mousebutton and move around08:23
plovs_workgood when your window is too big or something08:23
jeffschthe help for the movement key is not very clear, is it?08:23
Lizahh..ok08:23
Lizno, its not08:24
jeffschi never would have guessed that...08:24
Lizi actually asked in teh ubuntu channel..hehe08:24
Lizbut then screwed up my taskbar and had to restart it08:24
Lizfroud, if i do an authorburb..im right in putting in my own name yes?08:26
froudYes08:32
froudthe authorblurbs are used for notes to each other during devel. We comment them out in the release.08:33
froudjeffsch: your patch has been applied. Thanks. svn up everyone there are a few sections touched in that patch. :-)08:37

froudJeff and Lizz gave some good stuff in this morning. Quite large patches07:35
enricofroud: what you could do?  Uhm... we're short of goals for Hoary, it seems :)07:36
enricoThere's also upstream documentation needing some review, if you have nothing to do :)07:36
froudwhich upstream :-)07:37
enricoany? :07:38
enrico:)07:38
froudDebian is a no go for me. The Karma there is not good for my health.07:38
enricoall manpages linking to undocumented should be written; sometimes per-app documentation is awful, stuff like that07:39
froudGNOME, I think Shaumn has it under control07:39
froudNot today, may be next week07:39
froudonce I get started I will not want to go to Cape town in the morning07:39
enricobut I think you should do that only if, when using hoary, you stumble on some documentation which is particularly bad07:40
