mkdeits a real shame we can't pool resources04:04
Burgundaviaindeed04:05
Burgundaviaas the current guide I wouldn't recommend to anyone04:06
mkdei wish he would specify which repository is needed for which application, rather than telling all users to add all repositories04:06
Burgundaviathe marilliat one is annoying04:07
Burgundaviaas stable and testing don't have am6404:07
Burgundaviamkde, the word "mains" common in the UK04:08

mkde;p04:09
=== mkde takes a long look in the direction of rosetta
Burgundaviaright04:10
Burgundaviawe need something working now04:10
Burgundaviaand then we can worry about that04:11
Burgundaviais for the gnome-power project04:11
mkderight04:11
mkdei was just joking about the en variants, I think they are a waste of time04:11
Burgundaviahmm, debatable04:11
Burgundaviabut yes, generally, they are weasel ways out04:11
Burgundaviayou can look for common words04:11
Burgundaviado you have glade installed?04:12
mkdei'm on windows 200004:12
mkdeand a pretty unstable one at that04:12
Burgundaviaahhh04:12
BurgundaviaI just assume that someone is one Ubuntu04:13
Burgundaviado you have access to an ubuntu system?04:13

froudhi04:21
froudbeen a bit busy so have not been tuned. what's happening04:22
mkdefroud, you just replied to my mail, 8 minutes before I sent it04:22
mkdethat is seriously fast04:22
froudwhich mail was that04:22
mkdeRe: poxml 04:22
froudOh yes04:23
froudso what is new, who is doing what04:23
froudBurgundavia: did you get my message about the installation guide?04:23
froudwhat do you think you want to integrate it04:23
Burgundaviahadn't got to reading that yet04:25
Burgundaviawill do so now and respond to you04:25
mkdefroud, how come we use QT poxml scripts rather than python ones? is one better than the other?04:26
froudOk, if you want just go ahead with the installation guide04:26
froudwe found problems with the gnome stuff04:26
froudwe got kde stuff working first04:27
mkdeoh right04:27
mkdefair enough04:27
froudthe end result is the same so no big issue04:27
mkdetrue04:27
mkdealthough if both work, it would seem logical to use the one with least dependencies. But if one is easier than the other, then fair enough04:28
froudwel we did not get the gnome ones to work04:28
mkdeyeah04:28
mkdeok04:28
froudjeffsch: nice one on the style guide dude04:29
Burgundaviafroud, looks good04:29
=== froud still needs to update the i18n.sh
froudyeah, think you can do it04:30
Burgundaviaprobably04:30
froudI think it should be a new chapter at the end04:30
Burgundaviaok04:30
froudI made the first installation chapter the basic04:30
mkdefroud, oh i wanted to ask you: would you check http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/DocteamStepByStepl18n to make sure I haven't got anything wrong04:31
froudstuff like IP config and partions I also placed in their own chanters04:31
froudsure04:31
mkdethx04:31
mkdei'm off now04:37
mkdeback on this evening04:37
mkdebye all have fun04:38
froudok the doc looks good04:38
froudjust made a small change04:38
mkdefroud, thanks04:38
froudthere will be no branch of hoary04:38
froudof a release only a tag04:38
mkderight, yeah just put that in as a parenthesis cos enrico seemed keen04:38
mkdefeel free to correct/expand on anything04:38
froudit's compound enouh04:38
froudsure04:39
froudthanks04:39
froudc ya later04:39
mkdebye04:39
Burgundaviafroud, how do I do a if else04:42
Burgundaviaie if you run 9804:42
Burgundaviavs if you run NT04:42
froudMakes sense, perhaps a chapter with sect1 on each and intro para to cover the in then. Can also do this at the top of the doc04:43
froudremember to consider both gnome and kde here04:43
froudalthough install is mostly about GNU/Linux04:44
Burgundaviathe netinstall doc is only how to boot the installer, so the rest holds04:44
froudyes, so perhaps just if then at the begin of the doc 04:45
froudwhat do you think04:45
froudplease remember to ass yourself as an author and the author of the document04:46
froudadd04:46
froud:-)04:46
