vendaAfrican Greetings07:50
jsgotangcohello08:01
vendajsgotangco: morn08:02
vendapeople need to be aware of a license problem08:03
vendaI discussed this with mako yesterday08:03
vendaif you find a doc on the internet and want t o use it in whole or part within svn08:04
vendayou must get agreement from the copyright holder to use it in svn and relicense it under our licenses08:04
vendaif the copyright holder declines08:04
vendathen we can only keep the doc in svn under terms of the copyright holders license08:05
vendaWE MAY NOT RELICENSE08:05
vendaWE MAY NOT MERGE OR USE IT UNDER A DUAL OR OPPOSITE LICENSE08:05
jsgotangcoi thought about this as well 2 days ago08:05
venda:-) great minds08:05
vendaSo if something is GPL, GFDL, or CC-BY-?? we can use it in svn but must have permission to change the licensing08:06
vendaThanks to Gua, author of ubuntuguide.org, for allowing us to use the docteam licenses on the FAQGuide08:07
jsgotangcobecause i saw this how to create a deb tutorial by zonker and i thought it would be a great addition08:07
vendas/Gua/Chua08:07
jsgotangcobut then even if its gpl, gfdl i still have to get permission of sorts08:07
vendayes08:07
jsgotangco(i transformed it to docbook already but haven't uploaded for obvious reasons)08:08
vendawe can use it, but it without copyright holder permission to relicense, we must keep the original license08:08
vendaThis is why I have asked Chua for permission to relicense08:09
vendahe has agreed to this08:09
jsgotangcoi hope he knew what it meant08:09
vendaso there are no more lic issues on FAQGuide08:09
vendaSee the list08:09
vendaHmm, are messages going through to the list?08:11
robitaillehttp://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-doc/2005-June/002436.html  08:12
robitaille3 messages, 2 from you and from from him.  Are these the only ones?08:12
vendaHmm, perhaps ther eis some holdup enroute to co.za08:13
vendathanks robitaille 08:13
vendanew matter, I have not heard from Hendrik with regard to help.ubuntu.com and docteam.ubuntu.com08:14
jsgotangcohmmm that google bounty was spot-on with our lenya plans08:14
vendayes, I have the solution, I just dont think they will accept a java based solution08:14
vendawhatever they decide perhaps we can use the same solution they will use08:15
jsgotangcoi never thought it would be an impediment08:15
jsgotangco(java that is)08:15
vendashouldn't be08:15

mvirkkil:)09:44
jsgotangcoheh09:45
jsgotangcoi have this wordpress fetish lately09:45
froudwordpress09:45
jsgotangcoyou dont like it?09:45
froudURL know nothing of it09:46
mvirkkilThe OpenDocument specd is 700+ pages. Makes docbook seem simple.09:47
jsgotangcowww.wordpress.org its nothing special, just a popular blog tool09:47
froudmvirkkil: URL09:47
froudjsgotangco: I dont blog09:47
mvirkkilhttp://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/12572/OpenDocument-v1.0-os.pdf09:47
jsgotangcofroud, i dont either but i just use it for simple publishing09:48
abellijsgotangco: elitejournal is even better .. its ruby.09:49
froudmvirkkil: whew its a big one09:49
mvirkkilfroud: Agreed.09:50
jsgotangcoabelli, will look i know nothing about ruby though09:50
froudmvirkkil: Oh dude OpenDocument is hectic sh1t09:50
abellijsgotangco: bad bad bad daniel san.09:51
abellifroud: did you study in Oxford?09:51
abelliwhat subject? literature?09:51
froudI'll stay with Docbook for now, but I am also playing with DITA09:51
froudOxford no09:51
mvirkkilfroud: It's xml, which is nice and easy to parse.09:51
froudyes, but the syntax09:51
mvirkkilfroud: But a bitch when it comes to accessing.09:51
froudtry XPath that09:52
mvirkkilfroud: Like optimizing accesses of a large document is a pain, since it'09:52
mvirkkilit's basically random access, and disk io is _slow_09:52
mvirkkilfroud: I mean accessing on a lower level.09:52
froudmvirkkil: how low - DOM09:53
mvirkkilfroud: xpath basically requires the whole thing to be in memory, which can be costly with documents that include others with xinclude.09:53
froudyep09:53
mvirkkilfroud: I'm talking about basically if I have a path to an element I need to load the whole freaking document to get to it.09:54
mvirkkilof course using pull parsers and sax alleviates the problem, but you don't get the dom niceness09:54
mvirkkiland then string parsing (which xml is like all about) is slow...09:55
froudagreed09:55
froudbut then I dont think it was designed with that in mind09:55
mvirkkilthe "binary" xml sounds nice because of the speed stuff. Making something that will easily be translated to xml and back to binary, will be fast to access and small compared to xml documents, but yet easy to create parsers for and easy to make human readable...09:56
mvirkkilcurrently OpenDocument just compresses the whole thing, so loading and saving is slow. Binary xml would make that fast(er).09:57
froudyes speed is good and so is the round trip09:57
mvirkkilBut people cringe when they hear about binary formats.09:57
froudbut I would stll like it open in xml09:57
mvirkkilYeah, that would be possible.09:57
mdkemorn09:58
mvirkkilthe idea is that binary xml (i'll call it bxml) would have standard tools for convertnig back and forth to riginal regular xml.09:58
mvirkkilmdke: i09:58
mvirkkilmdke: hi, even09:58
mdkehiya09:59
mvirkkilfroud: http://www.w3.org/XML/Binary/10:00

froudquestion in FAQ Guide do we have to talk about gedit08:28
froudbecause if we just explain vi then we can use it for Kubuntu version too08:29
froudvi being common would be an easier choice and avoid extra profiling08:29
froudhowever, we could also give a note that vi can be replace by gedit or kate, depending on the distro you run08:30
swe3tdavecould we explain the 3? and let the user choose? :P08:31
froudwe could but this is a faq not a manual and we want to get an ubuntu version and a kubuntu version08:32
froudif we explain all three then each time either of the books talk about either gedit or kate we have to insert a profile08:32
froudjust thought it faster and less overhead to use vi08:33
froudor ViM08:33
swe3tdaveok, i'm still very new here.. but i think vi is a good choice.. ViM would be more easy..08:33
froudyes vim is easier08:34
froudswe3tdave: the idea is to manage both books in one xml file and transform k and g versions from the same file08:34
swe3tdavefroud: ok, im still trying to figure out how docbook, xml, and all those tools works.. but i think its a good idea.. :)08:36
