[12:01] hi all [12:01] salut [12:01] hi corey [12:02] got a moment to teach me xml? [12:02] i'm looking through the quickguide to try and pick it up [12:03] http://eh.net/deaconecon/archives/38-Economists-Say-the-Darnest-Things.html [09:06] froud: anything you would add? [09:07] cant think of anything yet [09:07] ok [09:07] should I send? [09:07] sure put it in open and lets see [09:10] done [09:12] Burgundavia: what email client do you use? [09:13] gmail [09:13] is it borking things? [09:13] they just changed the interfact [09:13] is it sending HTML? [09:13] no it is just that it does not indent bottom posts correctly [09:13] hmm [09:13] it doesn't do bottom posts [09:13] ah that is why [09:13] by default, it does top [09:58] wa? sorry was afk for a while [10:12] good comment from mattew === Skywind [~Skywind@218.94.37.185] has joined #ubuntu-doc [10:25] salut Skywind [10:26] hi, Burgundavia [10:26] never seen you here before [10:31] Morning all [10:31] morn [10:33] salut Kinnison [10:43] Burgundavia: sent my response [10:43] reading it now [10:44] bravo! [10:44] jsgotangco: bravo that was brave or bravo it is a good response? [10:45] chaps the applications.menu is xml [10:45] it was a very good response we dont need to be in a fighting stance on this issue [10:45] I think I can use xslt to build and update menus [10:45] for both GNOME and KDE [10:46] I saw that [10:46] It helps us keep updated to menu changes and gives us earlier warning [10:47] I will see what what I can do [10:47] do either of you write xslt? [10:48] nope [10:48] :-( Ok well I must go back to work [10:49] c ya later [11:08] ok what did i miss [11:08] i was playing around with a dlt drive [11:08] not much [11:08] bah [11:08] we need better media docs [11:09] like how to install stuff (w32codecs) [11:09] but theyre not supported! [11:09] FAQ Guide and User Guide [11:09] so [11:09] not supported doesn't not mean that people don't use them [11:09] and the existing docs are crack [11:10] Burgundavia: r you gonna work on FAQ Guide [11:10] absolutely [11:10] but the official guide should not have instructions about these things [11:10] it can be on the wiki though [11:10] Good. Now for restructure where do you want to do it [11:10] that is my opinion [11:10] I don't know enough about the 2 different methods to make a rational choice [11:11] I want one source for docs, ours [11:12] I spend a lot of time talking and helping on #ubuntu [11:13] I think I have it figured out what we need to focus on [11:14] Burgundavia: our docs [11:14] wiki or svn [11:14] ? [11:14] everything in one place for starters [11:14] and a good 1st boot howto [11:14] and walkthrough [11:14] bringing elements of quickguide [11:15] that is why we have FAQ and User Guide [11:15] yes [11:15] what bother sme most is the spread of the effort [11:15] people are working all over [11:15] if they work in one place it is easier [11:15] i believe there must be a logical flow of how these documents meld together [11:16] especially for a new user [11:16] there should be [11:16] and 1st boot howto should be the 1st thing they see and need [11:16] at the moment its the wild wild west [11:16] ubuntuguide.org is nice, but doesn't really do things the ubuntu way [11:16] unfortunately, it has mindshare and is done [11:17] I have asked the author to please join and work with us [11:17] I wait for reposnse [11:17] hmm [11:17] he just reappeared [11:17] what he say [11:17] and has created ubuntuguide.org/temp [11:17] for hoary [11:17] he did not know about our svn effort [11:17] the instructions on there, it took me a hour to cleanup somebodies machine [11:18] FAQ Guide in svn is in docbook faq format [11:18] plovs spent lots of time moving it to docbook and I spent lots of time using docbook faq [11:18] I still need to take a good look at tit [11:18] please do [11:20] we now have a big issue with the wiki [11:20] http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AddingRepositoriesHowto [11:20] is warty [11:21] so a hoary user just came along and changed all his sources to warty [11:21] I am now sorting it out [11:22] well this is why we want everyting in svn and the documentation to be made from there [11:22] I agree with you now [11:22] funny how people only realize what I am saying when they actually feel it [11:22] :-) [11:22] I never said I didn't want to have a single source [11:22] we just disagreed on which one [11:23] no not you specifically [11:23] geeze you r touchy today [11:23] :-) === enrico [~enrico@enrico.developer.debian] has joined #ubuntu-doc [11:23] if we get this portal off the ground, we will have the best docs, bar none [11:23] absolutely [11:36] its logical after all to have wiki and xml docs to be in one version control right [11:41] what package in the dictionary panel applet in? [11:44] gnome-utils [11:46] Kinnison: thanks [11:55] oh its a public holiday on the 1st day of UDU [11:55] anzac day [11:55] nice [11:56] i will be doing my work in eSvn now [11:56] it makes things much easier [11:57] and i see the status of the docs [11:57] as well as the commit logs [11:57] any gtk apps like eSVN? [11:57] I tend to be a desktop purist [11:57] gtk2 or nothing [11:59] i dont know, i thank froud for learning so much at the moment but i have started experimenting with other stuff [12:33] ugh [12:33] 8516 is getting nasty [12:38] 8516? [12:38] the bug for the spatial change [12:38] I filed it [12:38] it has become "the official spatial bug" [12:39] let me check that i was looking into that mosh sammy pic [12:41] wow thats long [12:42] yes [12:44] "If you don't like spatial don't use it!"
