[05:29] ? [05:29] jsgotangco, if it's possible, can you see why i'm not getting mail from ubuntu-doc [05:29] i mean, i can send out now [05:29] whats your email [05:29] and i got some of my own messages [05:29] seandq@gmail.com [05:30] but i am not getting any in [05:30] im so scrwed i forgot my own password [05:30] i think it COULD be because i was set to get only english docteam messages [05:30] can't you check?

[05:32] yeah [05:32] my problem is i forgot my sudo password so i cant even passwd root [05:33] okay here's the fix [05:33] it's an ubuntu box? [05:33] yeah [05:33] and you use grub [05:33] first thing i suggest [05:33] is that you boot into that kernel's recovery mode [05:34] it gives you root access and all you then type is "passwd root" [05:34] ahh [05:41] oh it gaveme root access [05:41] cant i just change password to my username here? [05:44] squinn, there's nothing wrong with your list account its all default [05:46] is there an index of all the pages in the wiki? [05:48] there used to be one [05:48] hmm [05:48] not so sure about the moin one [05:48] I didnt think so, I couldnt find it anyway [05:53] the subversion server certificate isn't issued by a cert authotity.. is this normal? [05:54] it means that the server certificate is not listed in a 3rd party. that is pretty normal [05:54] (my mailserver for one) [05:54] yeah, I was just making sure nothing funny was going on === froud [~sean@ndn-165-146-74.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-doc [07:44] just a quick question about the user guide, the sections marked "NO STATUS" mean that no one has started work on the section, right? [07:46] on the wiki? [07:46] the wiki is not that updated [07:46] im supposed to fix the status for docs :) [07:46] http://people.ubuntu.com/~mako/docteam/status/ug-report.html [07:46] no please don't refer to that doc [07:47] anything inside mako's shell is most likely old [07:47] ah [07:47] where is the up-to-date list, if any?

[09:16] im trying to chew sean's email [09:17] i am pleased he wrote [09:17] dialogue is important [09:17] i will still go to the TB route but tell them that we will ship what we decide [09:19] the point is, the doc team needs to discuss these matters as a team [09:19] THEN we need to get good communication and rapport going with -devel [09:19] aye [09:19] mine and henrik's emails are not really about what to ship [09:20] yep [09:29] the double titles on most wiki pages since the migration are annoying me. Should we start removing the 2nd titles? [09:30] like what? [09:30] you mean the /talk pages? [09:30] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarkShuttleworth [09:31] where you see "Mark Shuttleworth" twice at the top [09:31] oh i see [09:31] that doesn't bother me! [09:31] jsgotangco, but obviously if you want to remove them you can [09:31] there are about 1500 pages to do ;) [09:32] yeah I know. I have removed a couple while doing other edits [09:32] me too [09:32] btw I made a CategoryUbuntuTeams just now [09:33] question about that: are they just for official teams? I just saw the ArtTeam a few minutes ago; should they get that category added at the end? [09:34] tbh I don't know [09:34] i think it should be in that category [09:34] and also linked on the UbuntuTeams page [09:34] I don't think they are an official teams; not even sure if it is an active team === mdke shrugs [09:35] not sure === zalim [~zalim@219.93.199.36] has joined #ubuntu-doc [09:36] that's what I was leaning toward.....a team is a team..

[06:11] how can I make WordsLikeThis not appear as InterWiki links? (e.g., KolourPaint or KRegExpEditor) [06:15] you don't [06:15] that is called camelcase [06:15] and that is how the wiki makes links [06:15] kind of dumb, actually [06:16] so, okay... [06:16] hmm [06:17] I guess renaming them to Kolourpaint and Kregexpeditor is the best idea? or maybe post them as `inline code` [06:19] I'm going to search for this "bug" at MoinMoin, because almost every KDE application appears to use camelcase, which makes it muy dificil for creating and working on KDE wikipages. [06:37] the bug is not going to go away until the wiki switches from CamelCase [06:37] which would be nice, but most wikis do it [06:38] does that mean we have to type it wrong? [06:38] why can't a character be implemented that escapes camelcase? [06:38] we should probably switch to non-CamelCase along with Wikipedia [06:38] as that is more intuitive, in my view [06:39] file a bug in the ubuntu bugzilla about dropping camelcase [06:40] I agree about the intuitive comment, and I will file an internal bug, but I still think an camelcase escape character/command could exist. [06:44] if we switch to non-camelcase, then we don't have the issue [06:44] as links become [[link] ] [06:44] good point [07:08] philipacamaniac, for the broken images, we will organise a structured action and post it to the list [07:08] excellent [07:08] it will be awesome if you can help [07:09] I'm a very web-oriented guy, so the wiki seems like the best way for me to help right now. I'm also posting some markup suggestions to the list. [07:09] there is a way of stopping WordsLikeThis not linking I think [07:10] philipacamaniac, that's cool thanks [07:10] what's the method? [07:10] lemme test [07:11] hmm [07:11] its not pretty philipacamaniac [07:11] still wanna hear it? [07:11] as long as it works [07:11] Words''''''Like''''''This [07:12] wtf? [07:12] what is that character?? [07:12] its an apostrophe [07:12] on my uk keyboard it is under the @ sign [07:12] you use '' for italics, ''' for bold etc [07:12] okay, lemme try [07:12] example is on MatthewEast [07:12] at the end of the first line [07:13] okay so 6 single quotes [07:13] it didn't look like that when you posted in here :) === froud [~sean@ndn-165-139-210.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-doc [07:14] oh [07:14] what did it look like?

I just forgot to add them [07:17] a link to return to the original page is important i think [07:17] the command is there, just not the link [07:18] after editing it takes you to MatthewEast#preview, which is annoying, so it would be cool to have a button to go back to MatthewEast === froud [~sean@ndn-165-139-210.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-doc [07:18] yep. what about the /talk idea?

[09:27] yes [09:27] I thought that Ubuntu was just running slow. [09:27] Then I found out it was the great 2005 blackout haha [09:29] heh, that "What does a Linux Geek Look Like" thread is amusing [09:35] http://web.pdx.edu/~hegbloom/Aptitude/tutorial-intro-aptitude.html [09:36] mdke, you get my msg on list? [09:36] because i didn't hah [09:42] If you guys have a moment, go to http://www.reviewlinux.com/articles/8/4 and give me a 5 :) (pretty please) [09:42] editor kinda chopped the review up a bit but it came out ok I guess [09:43] gtaylor: 10X cool dude [09:44] gtaylor: kde-docs is At revision 427473. [09:44] gtaylor: you think if I drop that into svn /vendor/kde/ [09:44] we can track and merge revisions from upstream [09:44] I have upstream checkout [09:45] I can diff the upstream folder with /vendor/kde and apply the patches [09:45] then we can merge the stuff we want into trunk/kde [09:45] might be a good idea [09:45] gtaylor: you reckon its managable [09:45] would make it easier to grab from [09:46] froud-writing: Yeah, you might want to consider writing something to automatically checkout/commit the kde docs periodically though [09:46] if you have a box that's permanently connected to the net [09:46] yep [09:47] but the merge between vendor and trunk will have to be selective [09:47] otherwise we endup with massive conflicts [09:47] cause that revision is not a stable release [09:47] that would definitely be something that needs to be outlined in detail before people get to writing [09:47] sure [09:48] question is how many upstream changes will we merge to trunk [09:48] gtaylor that was an interesting article, no mention of kde that i saw :( [09:48] good question :) [09:48] jjesse: That's the topic for a Kubuntu review (which I will write up) [09:49] gtaylor: 5 [09:50] danke [09:50] buona notte a tutti. === abelli [~john@ad1592ec8462ece0.session.tor] has left #ubuntu-doc [] === FLeiXiuS [~fleixius@pcp0011790326pcs.essex01.md.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc [09:51] I'm not sure what that meant :) === FLeiXiuS [~fleixius@pcp0011790326pcs.essex01.md.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc [10:04] gtaylor: open khelpcenter for a sec [10:05] ok [10:05] you see the blue books [10:05] yup [10:05] ok these are all in seperate folders [10:05] speaking to Riddle over at kubuntu-devel [10:05] ok [10:06] he sees no reason to branch kde docs. I agree [10:06] so he wants us to add the Ubuntu specific stuff to the KDE docs? [10:06] but it can be usefull if we can use xInclude to get text nodes [10:06] and searching doesn't work (argh!) [10:06] no [10:07] he says make a kubuntu specific docs [10:07] and if needed include content from kde upstream [10:07] ok [10:07] sounds like a safe plan [10:07] there are many places where we can copy their text [10:08] but why copy it when we can just xinclude it [10:08] yeah [10:08] so thinking [10:08] I will put a vendor drop of upstream in /vendor/kde [10:09] anyone working on kde will checkout the vendor drop relative to their trunk [10:10] that way our xinclude paths remain constant between us [10:10] sounds good [10:10] with the vendor drop we can, as and when required, choose to use xinclude/xpointer to bring in xml nodes by way of reference [10:11] so we have no need for copy paste [10:11] sound ok? [10:11] yeah, as long as we can modify the includes if the need be [10:11] (should be rare though) [10:12] yes we can but best done upstream [10:12] ok [10:12] or I can diff and patch between the two copies I have on disk [10:12] and that way commit it to kde [10:12] I have kde commit [10:13] but there is a warning with this [10:13] with this comes a responsability === philipacamaniac [~phliipaca@208-47-135-198.dia.cust.qwest.net] has left #ubuntu-doc [] [10:14] if we make changes to xincludes then they must not be related to kubuntu but kde in general [10:14] That sounds fine as long as everyone knows and understands this [10:15] yep [10:15] do you understand xincludes? [10:15] jjesse: do you understand xincludes? [10:16] yeah, no problem here [10:17] OK that just leaves jjesse [10:17] gtaylor: I will send a message to the list outlining all this [10:17] Sounds good [10:17] just incase ;-) === GregTaylor [~gtaylor@130-127-67-44.lehotsky.clemson.edu] has joined #ubuntu-doc [10:18] xincludes? nope [10:18] sorry [10:18] np [10:18] its ok [10:18] testing IRC clients :) [10:18] Konversation 0.18 Build 3016 [10:19] on 0.16 here [10:19] they just updated it [10:19] how is 0.1.8 [10:19] think it might've been a backport. I'm not sure, never used 0.16 to Kompare it too :) [10:20] jjesse: can you read http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ModularDoc.html when you get a chance and let me know if there is anything you dont understand? === gtaylor [~gtaylor@130-127-67-44.lehotsky.clemson.edu] has left #ubuntu-doc ["Kopete] [10:21] GregTaylor: do you want to use Glossaries === GregTaylor is now known as gtaylor [10:21] gtaylor: do you want to use Glossaries [10:21] jjesse: do you want to use Glossaries? [10:23] froud-writing: I think it might be helpful [10:24] gtaylor: take a look at http://computerdictionary.tsf.org.za, let me know if you think we can use it as a build dependancy [10:26] gtaylor: what's your docbook toochain? [10:27] froud-writing: That's a broken link for me [10:27] gtaylor: r you ok with a 4.4 dtd [10:27] oops [10:28] froud-writing: I know little about the DTD's, I've just been following the same format as the documents I tinker with. [10:28] http://computerdictionary.tsf.org.za/ [10:28] So I'm fine with anything [10:29] should work [10:29] That's an interesting project [10:29] gtaylor: this is kde stuff so kubuntu will ship html [10:29] but if we want to use xincludes then we need at least docbook 4.3 or higher [10:30] higher the better as 4.4. fixes some issues [10:30] That's fine with me. The dictionary looks interesting too. It'd be nice to have if it doesn't make things run really slow when browsing the pages. [10:30] it will only be used for build [10:30] for transform from xml 2 html [10:31] there is no need for anyone to install it on a user desktop [10:31] Then I see no reason not to use it, it looks pretty thorough [10:31] just the authors here === philipacamaniac [~phliipaca@208-47-135-198.dia.cust.qwest.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc [10:33] gtaylor: your are welcome to bring patches to the project, sen dme your username and password and I will open you a commit account [10:33] jjesse: what do you think of the abov elink [10:33] the computer dictionary? [10:33] yes [10:33] i like it [10:33] can you use it? [10:34] do you want glossaries [10:34] i would like glossaries [10:34] ok do you know about glossentries [10:34] a little bit [10:35] ok then http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Glossaries.html [10:36] gtaylor: jjesse; I will impliment it as a glossary database as descibed http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/GlossDatabase.html [10:36] jjesse: do you want to commit to the dictionary? [10:36] i think so letme read more about it :) [10:36] checked out svn [10:37] OK if you do send mail to me with username and password [10:37] Ok that's it for now. so I go to write that message explaining all this. [10:55] froud-writing, did u get my list msg? [10:57] squinn: yes that is fine [10:58] mdke: move to arrange commit account for squinn [10:58] froud-writing and mdke, appreciated [10:58] froud-writing, only reason i asked is because i didn't get the msg [10:59] thats fine, i'll view via web interface [10:59] OK, but I need a second to get your account [11:00] any other commiter prepared to second me :-) [11:00] am i allowed to ? [11:01] your a committer [11:01] then i second it :) [11:01] if you feel its good then second the motion and I will write to enrico [11:01] thanks [11:01] heading home, softball tonight have a good one [11:02] squinn: pls send me your public pgp key and your username of choice [11:02] froud-writing, will do [11:02] username is squinn [11:02] pgp key is on its way [11:03] thanls [11:03] thanks [11:04] I will fwd to enrico and jerome cc you. Give elmo some time to open the account, he will message you the details when he is done [11:04] if nothing happens in one week, then let us know so we can ping him :-) [11:05] Alright, thank you. [11:05] squinn: was the last patch to the quick guide from you? [11:05] yes. [11:05] the one jeff applied [11:05] yes, that was me. [11:06] or my patch, yes. [11:06] Ok, you coul dnot know this so dont be worried [11:06] but did you look at it in yelp? [11:07] Yes, I did. [11:07] But I probably overlooked something. [11:07] Ok you mainly did this [11:07] -linkend="qg-ubuntu-update-manager"endterm="title-qg-ubuntu-update-manager"/>, [11:07] +linkend="qg-ubuntu-update-manager"/>, [11:08] there is a problem with that in so much that the xrefs now read wrong [11:08] blah blah Chapter 5. ----- [11:08] oh..i see [11:08] ok yeah commit account for squinn is a good idea [11:08] mdke: thanks [11:08] froud-writing, will you be writing to the list re taking responsibility for kde user guide? [11:08] yes [11:08] also to clarify your position on the team? [11:09] :-) dude so long as its kde I dont see a problem, do you? [11:09] i have a problem with the "just visiting" thing [11:09] squinn: there is a bug in yelp [11:09] froud-writing, yeah, jeff alerted me on that [11:09] froud-writing, i have no problem with you taking on the kde user guide tho, of course I'm happy [11:09] we did suply a patch upstream before hoary release [11:10] but it was not touched [11:10] Ah, okay. [11:10] Hm. [11:10] squinn: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeamMeetingSummary3 [11:11] squinn, btw your email just came to me afaics, not the list [11:11] [WWW] Yelp's XRef problem [11:11] froud-writing, i hope you understand my point re: your position on the team [11:11] hm okay [11:11] i think froud-writing got it.. [11:11] did ya, Sean? I'm not sure. I hit 'Reply To All'. I think?! [11:12] squinn, oh no sorry, i see it [11:12] squinn, the list software didn't send it to me because you had me in the To: box [11:12] my bad [11:12] squinn: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170074 [11:12] that is why it does not handle linkend="qg-ubuntu-update-manager"endterm="title-qg-ubuntu-update-manager"/> [11:12] ah, alright [11:12] not a problem [11:12] somethings focking up with evolution, not list fault [11:12] squinn: upstream must fix this bug [11:12] i got it on gmail web interface [11:13] i see where you're coming from [11:13] squinn: its not a docbook bug, but a yelp bug [11:13] yes. [11:13] mdke: leave my position for now [11:13] mdke: its not importnat [11:14] froud-writing, i'm going to bump that bug [11:14] mdke: time to move on and let jerome manage it [11:14] mdke: its in community hands now [11:14] squinn: you can, but I doubt they will do it [11:14] froud-writing, its important for the team to know if you are going to work in the team or for yourself [11:15] otherwise our work will get hampered [11:15] mdke: I always work for myslef :-) no secrets there [11:15] froud-writing, nothing to lose -- i'll go for it [11:15] squinn: yes, but I think the maintainers wanted a better solution. [11:15] frustrating [11:16] they should accept that one until there is a better one [11:16] mdke: my traction on kde will not get in your way [11:17] froud-writing, your attitude will get in the way of the team [11:17] this "just visiting" business is incredibly counterproductive [11:17] mdke: only if you see it that way. now really, drop it and move on [11:18] I'm not the only person that feels that way [11:18] mdke: well I cant help that ppl have had their chance to rip into me [11:18] if I am th ebad guy, then so be it === mdke shrugs [11:19] now I would rather focus on doing [11:19] no offense intended [11:19] ok [11:19] if somebody has a problem with me they can say it to me or via the list [11:19] ok [11:19] i've expressed my views [11:19] I have no problem with that [11:19] its enough [11:19] acepted [11:20] but I hope you understand that I am working as hard as I can to make a group, rather than an individual-led project [11:20] if I fail, so be it [11:21] mdke: I understand that [11:21] ok i'm glad [11:21] mdke: you know there are some good things that have come of this [11:21] i'm sure there will be [11:21] they haven't come yet though [11:22] mdke: no its already happening, for the first time in a long time I am seeing people taking ownership of the project [11:22] people who were once new to the project are now getting old and they are having views that challenge my own [11:23] that's a good thing [11:23] IMHO [11:23] well i arrived all the participants in the project had left [11:23] i don't want that to happen again [11:23] if we create a group that takes decisions TOGETHER, that will not happen [11:23] dude most never did anything [11:23] they went to do their own things [11:24] one became a debian developer [11:24] something he always wanted [11:24] and so with each person [11:24] at last xmas time all I found was an empty svn sitting on hornbecks machine [11:25] you know that many left because of dissatisfaction with the project [11:25] perhaps [11:25] now that we are getting interest from many, we need a proper team [11:25] but they were also not committing [11:25] this group is different, they are committing [11:26] and I want to work with committers, not those that dont :-) [11:26] anyway, I have a proposal to write [11:26] mdke: I am a mixed bundle some good, mostly bad [11:26] ;-) [11:27] you just need discipline ;) [11:27] yes sir! [11:28] your work is great, but you don't inspire trust when you go it alone [11:28] I am not on a popularity contest here [11:28] thats not the point [11:28] its a team question [11:28] you and jerome have finally challenged [11:28] and that is good [11:29] if we have regular team meetings and follow up on the decisions made in the last meeting with mark, I'm sure that we will have a team in place, that will not depend on individuals [11:29] it shows commitment [11:29] i'm not challenging [11:29] dude you have and that is brilliant [11:29] you questioned me and that is good [11:29] there should be no sense of challenge in a proper team [11:29] dude it works [11:29] leave it there [11:29] bah [11:29] I am happy for your and jerome [11:30] at least I wont go unchecked ;-) [11:30] sure [11:30] but I do not want to feel that you need to be checked [11:30] can I go back to work now dad :-) [11:30] dude we all do [11:30] nah [11:30] if the team makes all decisions, it will be fine [11:30] regular meetings will help [11:31] mdke: I leave you to learn as I did, lets talk in about six months on this subject. I would like to hear th elessons you have learned [11:31] mdke: one tip [11:31] I can't believe you keep misunderstanding me and think that this is about a technical question [11:31] this is purely a community question for me [11:31] sometimes silence is consent [11:32] mdke: no I dont :-) [11:32] ok [11:32] btw silence is only rarely consent [11:33] from the legal point of view it is never consent [11:33] mdke: like me you will find that at some point you will need to make decisions because nobody else is willing to make them. Every leader has these times [11:33] you are not a leader [11:33] nor am i [11:33] nor is anyone on this team [11:33] Hmmm, I wonder [11:33] you have age [11:33] that is my whole problem [11:33] you think you are a leader [11:33] mdke: you are a leader, accept it [11:33] nope [11:33] i dont accept that [11:34] you may not be officially appointed, but you are a leader [11:34] not in this community [11:34] this is a team [11:34] you age and experience with the project makes you so whether you like it or not [11:34] or rather, it should be [11:34] and new members will look to you for guidance [11:34] we have different definitions of leaders [11:34] yes [11:34] we do [11:34] very [11:34] anyhow [11:34] :-) lets leave it at that shall we [11:35] this community has rules [11:35] i like rules [11:35] i respect them [11:35] hmm [11:35] I see so [11:35] you're a renegade :) [11:35] perhaps [11:35] there was a great english lawyer like you [11:35] I like the great part [11:35] he used to ignore the rules [11:35] and make his own [11:35] debian/rules -j [11:35] yep [11:35] he was a great lawyer [11:35] make your own rules [11:36] stand by your guns [11:36] but what he did was wrong [11:36] and go for it [11:36] nope [11:36] sure we all do wrong [11:36] froud-writing, here's my pgp key [11:36] rules, in a FOSS community more than anything, are vital to the survival of the community [11:36] should i send the 1024 pub or the 2048 sub? [11:36] squinn, your public key [11:36] 1024 [11:37] 32DAA3C3 [11:37] that was preceded by 1024D/ [11:37] but i think that was irrelevent [11:37] mdke: you will learn that squinn email sean@inwords.co.za [11:37] i will learn what? [11:37] mdke: that there are no rules [11:37] ooh [11:37] i got patronised [11:38] maybe you will learn my point of view one day [11:38] if you work with rules you get boxed [11:38] froud-writing, email you @ sean@inwords.foo.bar? [11:38] i didn't feel like typing co.za* [11:38] squinn, email him your key [11:38] mdke: another thought [11:38] okay [11:38] destroy everything [11:38] build and tear it down as much as you can [11:39] if you are going to do something you must fail [11:39] the faster you fail, th emore times you fail, the faster you will suceed [11:39] well i will continue trying to help build a team [11:39] I know you think I am barmy right [11:39] i believe in building a team structure that will not need to be torn down [11:40] froud-writing, you ARE barmy [11:40] Hmmm, build it, break it and build it again, better each time [11:40] you know that [11:40] Without rules, the box isn't square and won't stand. [11:40] yes [11:40] anyway, enough on this [11:40] well that's fine if you want to see the world in squares [11:41] froud-writing, other people's way of seeing the world is equally as valid as yours [11:41] arches then? [11:41] French curls? [11:41] Ah! Round tables. [11:43] froud-writing, sent [11:44] froud-writing, i'm now talking to the head of GNOME Bugzilla's YELP. [11:44] He's got our bug assigned, etc. [11:46] froud-writing, squinn: was fixed about six weeks ago [11:48] froud-writing, got some news [11:53] froud-writing, it is to the knowledge of gnome that the yelp problem was fixed [11:53] with this brand-spankin-new package [11:53] gnome-doc-utils 0.3.1 [11:53] Ok, so now we just need to upgrade [11:53] and test it [11:54] right. [11:54] but i'm still in hoary [11:54] that's ok just upgrade yelp [11:54] >shaunm> squinn: btw, starting with gnome-doc-utils 0.3.1, you can just do [11:54] squinn: btw, starting with gnome-doc-utils 0.3.1, you can just do [11:55] so put in a breezy repo? [11:55] squinn: I think it will [11:55] oh no not more gnome namespaces [11:55] Ok I am off fo rthe night. c ya [11:59] :/ === mdke is tired [11:59] join the club. [11:59] ok [11:59] mdke, should i pull the plug and go for breezy? [12:00] nah [12:00] don't worry about that stuff is my advice [12:00] okay [12:00] just concentrate of getting some content sorted [12:00] of/on [12:00] i think i may go breezy anyway though [12:00] with nothing to do with docteam [12:00] your call [12:00] it doesn't work much right now [12:00] but im not pulling trigger until im sure [12:00] i've noticed [12:00] hence why i'm holding back [12:00] yeah me too
