robitaillehummm...very interesting conversation this afternoon between mdke  and mdke :)12:24
mdkeyeah12:24
mdkejust trying to figure out irssi12:25
mdkethinking of using it permanently from now on12:26
robitaillesame here.  I switched last night from xchat to irssi12:30
robitailleoften I have to access irc remotely from my home machine, and doing it with xchat was a killer12:30
mdke*grins*12:30
mdkei'm gonna use screen12:31
mdkethat was the killer which provoked the change12:31
mdkedo you use it?12:31
robitaillelife would be so much easier if irc was available at work....12:31
robitaillenever used screen12:31
mdkeit allows you to keep a terminal even if you lose X12:31
squinnAnd it's good for when you need someone to hack into comp.12:32
mdkeso you can run irssi in it, mark yourself as away, ssh in and check your messages12:32
squinnLike for teck support.12:32
squinntech12:32
mdkeyeah?12:32
squinnyep.12:33
mdkeare you saying its makes my computer insecure?12:34

=== mdke [~matt@mdke.user] has joined #ubuntu-doc
mdkeok am officially switched to irssi12:39
robitailleit works pretty well.  I still have to get use to some of the keyboard shortcuts.12:41
mdkeyeah i just restarted X12:41
mdkeits so cool12:41
robitaillenext step is to use mutt and elinks, then you don't need X anymore :)12:42
mdkeyes12:42
mdkemutt will be next12:42
mdkebut i use a quite default ubuntu install on my laptop, which is what I use for email12:42
mdkeso I will continue with evo12:42
robitailleI have been using mutt on and off for years.  But recently I started using thunderbird most of the time.  I'm sure I'll get fed up in the the few weeks and switch back to mutt.  I always do...12:44
mdkeyeah12:44
mdkedoes it do gpg?12:45
robitailleyes12:45
mdkehmm12:45
mdkeand you get to look geek too12:45
mdkei am test running enlightenment right now12:47
BurgundaviaI just killed about 30 mono threads and beagle12:48
Burgundaviawent from 100% ram usage to about 20%12:48
mdkelol12:48
mdkebreezy :D12:48
Burgundaviastupid beagle/blam bug12:48
mdkeand Burgundavia call's me crazy for running gentoo12:48
Burgundaviarunning gentoo is crazy12:49
Burgundaviabecause when Breezy releases I will have a stable system, and you will still have gentoo12:49
mdkenah12:49
mdkeyou'll have a stable system for 2 weeks12:49
mdkethen you'll be on breezy+112:49
BurgundaviaI waited a month to jump to breezy12:49
mdkeyou have more aggregate instability ;)12:50
Burgundaviadepends what breakage they plan for breezy+112:50
mdkeheh12:50
robitailleI still haven't swtich to Breezy.  I run it in a 2nd partition, but it still feels a bit too unstable for "production" work (a.k.a to use by the rest of the family at home)12:50
Burgundaviamy brother is still on hoary12:51
Burgundaviatoday nautilus was borked12:51
Burgundaviauntil I restated it and killed all the zombie threads12:51
Burgundavianow I have desktop wallpaper again!12:51
mdkei had that here12:51
robitailleyeah, hoary's nautilus seems to freezy on me every few days.  It's a good thing I'm 95% of the time in the command line.12:53
robitailles/freezy/freeze12:53
Burgundaviawhy does clock-applet use 35 mb of ram?12:54
Burgundaviaand FUSA uses 2512:54
Burgundaviahow about gnome-cups-icon at  36, and I don't even have a printer12:54
Burgundaviaor evo-exchange-storage at 39 mb. I neither use evo or connect to an exchange server12:56
mdkebbl12:56
KinnisonBurgundavia: they almost certainly don't12:56
KinnisonBurgundavia: they almost certainly are using very little each12:56
KinnisonBurgundavia: it'll be almost all shared12:56
Burgundaviaok12:56
BurgundaviaKinnison, what is new in your life?12:57
KinnisonBurgundavia: Not much, I just submitted a merge to get Aranha actually generating content12:57
KinnisonBurgundavia: and now I'm off to bed, trusting that it'll pass without me needing to handhold it12:57
Burgundaviaaranha?12:57

=== Burgundavia now has right-click not crashing xchat!
mdkegtaylor...01:37
mdkehas written an article about Ubuntu!01:37
mdkehttp://www.reviewlinux.com/articles/8/1/Ubuntu---A-New-Approach-to-Desktop-Linux01:38
robitaillemdke:  you should subscribe to the sounder list.  Someone posted that url last night.01:40
mdkehmm01:41
mdketoo much email01:41
mdkebut gtaylor comes in here, he is cool01:41
robitailleit's a low-traffic list (generally...).  Look at Comment #7 from that article.  Someone arguying that XP/2000 is better than Ubuntu and this article is FUD :)01:42
mdkeyeah i saw that01:42
mdkei won't say linux doesn't have some issues01:42
mdkebut windows _DOES_ need to be restarted frequently01:43
mdkeevery time you install a simple card game01:43
mdkeand its also important to note that my flatmates wifi card doesn't work under XP, whereas my card works fine with reverse engineered hacked up drivers01:44

jsgotangcoI LOOOVVEE MEDIAWIKI03:54
mdkeyes i watched those demos03:54
mdkethey were sweet03:54
mdkei looove jsgotangco 03:54
jsgotangcoyou want a taste of my whip?03:54
robitailleWe all love mediawiki...let's fork the Ubuntu wiki :)03:54
mdkejsgotangco: good work on DocteamProjects03:54
squinngood [morning?]  jsgotangco and mdke 03:55
jsgotangcoi haven03:55
jsgotangcoi haven't even started03:55
mdkejsgotangco: even better :D03:55
jeffschwhen you're done, there's the rest of the wiki :)03:55
mdkewhat did you guys think of my wiki team email?03:56
jsgotangcohmmm wiki janitors?03:57
jeffschi like the idea03:58
jeffschI started making a list of all the pages on CategoryDocteam that need some updating, revising, or rethinking03:58
robitaillewiki farmers?03:58
robitaillepersonally I think the idea ofa wiki team is a good one.03:59
jeffschthe list got too long, so I gave up. They all need some love03:59
mdkeyes the docteam pages need love so that the team will get more hits :)03:59
jeffschthere is also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/doc that we should consider04:00
mdkeyeah exactly04:01
mdkehenriks idea04:02
jsgotangcohmm04:03
jsgotangcothis is too much for my brain to handle now04:03
mdkeok04:03
mdkereply on list whenever you fancy04:03
jsgotangcothere are far too many issues we have to address04:03
jsgotangcothe best way probably is to decentralize all work at the moment whoever wants to lead on04:04
mdketoo many?04:04
jsgotangcoand put it all together in the projects page so we know all what is happening04:04
jsgotangconot just on the svn04:04
mdkeyeah IMHO that page should become the central page for us04:05
jsgotangcoso far i only see 5 names on the page and its all svn work04:05
=== robitaille [~daniel@d154-5-117-228.bchsia.telus.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc
jsgotangcoim sure wiki work will interest a lot of people even if they dont really have svn access04:06
mdkethe other thing I was thinking about is translation04:06
jsgotangco(not all really like that work anyway)04:06
mdkeyeah04:06
mdkephilipacamaniac is keen on wiki work04:06
philipacamaniactrue dat true dat04:06
jsgotangcoso i guess its a good idea to put the wiki work as a team project04:06
jeffschyeah04:07
mdkejsgotangco: lets wait and hear more opinions?04:07
=== robitaille also keen on doing some wiki gardening
mdkesome may be contrary04:07
jsgotangcosure04:07
jsgotangcoi'll just keep on improving the projects page and keep it updated as much as possible04:07
mdke:)04:08
jsgotangcobut people who want to be involved are free to join in the projects anyway04:08
mdkeit looks sexy now04:08
mdkethanks to your breezygoals theme04:08
jeffschprojects page would be a good place for your hypothetical wiki team, mdke04:08
jsgotangcoyeah colors make wonders04:08
mdkejeffsch: you don't think we should wait on it a little?04:09
jsgotangcothe "status page" is very dependent on the status id of svn docs04:09
mdkeyeah04:09
jeffschmdke: it's very easy to remove04:09
mdkepeople responsible can generate previews and update status04:09
jsgotangcowonder if mako was the one who generated them04:09
mdkeor maybe even autogenerate04:09
jsgotangcoits in mako's shell04:09
mdkebut manual generate is not v difficult if each member does it for their document04:10
jsgotangco(wonder who did this before)04:10
jeffschwhere can the previews be hosted?04:10
jsgotangcomdke, yeah but that means, their status must be standard as well in case they haven't checked the wiki04:10
jsgotangcoill ask mako04:11
mdkejeffsch: in our svn04:11
mdkejeffsch: no?04:11
jsgotangcono04:11
mdkejust build the html, link to it on the wiki04:11
mdkewhy not?04:11
jeffschahhh... dat right... there ishttp access to svn...04:11
jsgotangcohmm04:11
jsgotangcoright04:11
jsgotangcoi forgot about that04:11
mdke[https://docteam.ubuntu.com/repos/trunk/whatever review] 04:12
mdkep*04:12
jsgotangcowe dont need mako's shell then04:12
jsgotangco(those pages are extremely old in the first place)04:12
mdkeits cool to have auto, but if the representation thing works, it shouldn't be a big deal IMO04:12
=== otep [~otep@AP-203.167.31.177.sysads.com] has joined #ubuntu-doc
jsgotangcoit shouldn't be difficult for people working on a page to generate the previews IMO as long as the document validates and has a proper stylesheet04:14
mdkeyeah i agree04:14
mdkejeffsch is giving us an example ;)04:16
jeffschany second now...04:16
jsgotangcoi have no idea how to generate a script like that04:17
mdkewhoops04:17
mdkedoesn't work04:17

jeffschsee https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StyleGuide04:20
jeffschclick on Preview...04:20
jeffschi get html source only04:21
mdkeyeah thats what i mean04:21
mdkemissing some top tags I guess04:21
mdkeget philipacamaniac to have a look at it, he is well good04:21
jsgotangcoi only get the source as well04:21
philipacamaniaceh? lemme see 04:21
jeffschthe html is good, it must be the server04:21
mdkek04:22
mdkeinteresting04:22
jsgotangcohmm04:22
jeffschit is not sending proper mime type... should be text/html or some such thing, iirc04:22
mdkeguess we need someone to host it then, or have a word with elmo to get an apache server up04:22
jeffschhttp://docteam.ubuntu.com/04:23
mdkeyes04:23
mdkegood point04:23
philipacamaniacagreed... the html is proper (although no dtd!)04:23
mdkei guess someone can upload to that04:24
jsgotangcoor a linode server :)04:24
mdkemaybe henrik set it up at sean's recent request04:24
mdkedid everyone see greg's article?04:24
mdkehttp://www.reviewlinux.com/authors/7/Greg-Taylor04:25
jeffschi saw it. it was good, but i don't know how he came up with 10 out of 10!04:25
jsgotangcoextreme bias04:25
jsgotangcoheh04:25
philipacamaniacI have seen the same mime-type problems elsewhere in SVN-powered web repos04:29
mdkebug maybe?04:29
philipacamaniacdon't know, the actual html that spits out is valid04:29

froudAfrican Greetings07:51
froudjeffsch: why do you checkin presentational formats to svn?07:54
froudjeffsch: if I may make a suggestion. in svn you have a dir called build/ create your makefile so that people can run it and it will create the presentational formats in a build/styleguide/07:56
jsgotangcofroud, it was a test07:57
jsgotangcowe were finding a way to fix up DocteamProjects page07:57
jsgotangcowithout using mako's shell07:57
froudok, do you know how it works?07:58
robitailleanyone knows if the svg files in the old wiki are currently available anywhere in the new wiki? (http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2005-June/039440.html)07:58
jsgotangcomako's shell?07:58
jsgotangcono idea07:58
jsgotangcojeffsch thought that it might work since our svn does http07:58
jsgotangcoinstead we got html code in the browser07:59
froudthe process is tho build the docs in html format in build/ then tar.gz and send it to mako07:59
jsgotangcoyeah, but mako is another layer07:59
froudif you want to use the build dir I guess it can also work07:59
froudbut we should try not to put presnetational formats amongst the source08:00
froudthere is a logical reason08:00
jsgotangcofroud, it was a test, we're not going to do it again then08:00
froudit because the src gets uploaded to the distro after we tag08:00
froudjsgotangco: it ok, its not a big problem, but I wanted to mention it08:01
froudotherwise we will endup with ppl doing checkin of presentational formats all over the repos08:01
jsgotangcowe want to make DocteamProjects give an overall view of what's happening08:02
froudyes, understood08:02
frouddid you look at the xsl that creates the owner status08:02
jsgotangcoi haven't although thats in my todo list tommorow08:03
jsgotangco(can't do everything at the same time)08:03
froudOK, perhaps it may help if we just instate a simple make system like I did for hoary08:03
jsgotangcoif that would ease up things on people, it would be of great help08:07

jsgotangcohmm nice script by froud12:28
jsgotangcosean seems to be working as usual12:29
mdkewhich script is that?12:33
jsgotangcothe make script for status12:34
jsgotangco(it relies on the status id of the docs though, so it should be made consistent)12:34
jsgotangcosome docs still won't play nicely with it12:34
mdkeok12:35
mdkewell if you or he posts what he has done to the list, i'm sure that will help people12:35
jsgotangcoi'll fix first the status ids12:35
mdkewiki page looks nice12:35
jsgotangcofeel free to mess it up with better stuff12:36
mdkewould it be ok if I merge the three tables?12:36
jsgotangcohmmm12:36
jsgotangcohow about the wiki projects?12:36
mdkeseparate heading?12:36
jsgotangcolet's try the separate heading first12:37
jsgotangcoi was thinking if we merge the tables, we should at least assign priorities to the projects12:37
jsgotangcojust for distinction12:37
mdkealso I think learnlinux should be removed or at least be marked as deferred12:37
mdkeits not a docteam project12:37
jsgotangcoi agree but i prefer it if we merge tables, we should have to tag the docs according to priority12:38
mdkehow come?12:38
jsgotangcoso we'll know which docs will need to be finished much sooner rather than people doing a doc that is not bound to be shipped12:39
mdkewell all the other docs should be shipped right?12:39
mdkejust learnlinux (not our project) and adminguides (deferred) won't ship12:40
jsgotangcosure but not all12:40
mdke...12:41
jsgotangcothe priority tag is just my opinion12:42
jsgotangcoi think we know well what docs are prioritized, but not the community as a whole12:42
mdkewell i think its a good idea, but i don't think the lack of those tags stops us from merging the tables right now12:42
jsgotangcoi don't mind the table merges though12:43
mdkeyay12:43
jsgotangcoi have to rush for dinner12:44
jsgotangcothere is a forecast of heavy rain later12:44
mdkeokey dokey12:44
jsgotangcoyay12:44
mdkehave a nice dinner12:44
jsgotangco(my wife is leaving in 2 days for KL)12:44
jsgotangcoi should make up12:44
mdkemake up?12:45
jsgotangcomdke, merge the tables if you want to, i'll just add more stuff to the page when needed12:45
mdkeyay12:46
mdkethanks12:46
jsgotangco(like separate them again to 3 priority tables)12:46

froudmdke: question?03:32
mdkeyes shoot03:32
froudmdke: I understand you would not like to have the profiling method in docs03:33
mdkei have some concerns about it, but I don't know a lot about it03:33
mdkei'd like to discuss it definitely03:33
froudmdke: that's ok, what if I split install guide and make a gnome install and a kde install?03:33
mdkefroud, well I don't have any technical problems with the profiling, i was just concerned about new users finding it difficult03:34
mdkei think if they were split it might be easier to manage03:34
mdkewhat do you think?03:34
froudmdke: I explained it in long message :-) but if ppl don't grep it then we will have to rm it03:35
froudI am happy to do this03:35
froudI have been pondering things03:36
mdkefroud, ok to find out what everyone thinks I'd suggest discussing it at the next meeting, hopefully jerome will organise one for next week03:36
mdkei know its possible to work in profile, but it might be a little more complex, that's all03:36
froudand as I now see it, perhaps we have gnome working in the gnome way and kde working in the kde way03:36
mdkehmm03:37
froudtechnically possible and from a human perspective it seems that people will grep it better03:37
mdkeok so are you happy to raise it at the meeting?03:37
froudI was hoping for a more eligant solution, but hey can't have everything03:37
froudmdke: I respect all the meeting stuff, but it really slows down waht can be done03:38
froudI have to wait a week just in order to impliment a 30 min change03:38
mdkefroud, its a team decision IMO03:39
mdkeit should have been a team decision in the first place03:39
froudmdke: not going there03:39
froudwhat people need is to write03:40
mdkewell you asked my opinion, so my opinion is, the team should decide on the profiling issue at a meeting03:40
froudfor gnome the docs are there03:40
froudHmm, ok, when did you say that meeting is?03:40
mdkei hope they will be 2 weekly03:40
mdkeso that will mean next week03:40
mdkebut its up to jerome03:40
froudHmm I thought it was a team decision :-) dig dig03:41
froudOk well thanks03:41
mdkewell its difficult to have a meeting to decide when the next meeting will be03:42
froudemail?03:42
mdkeyes03:42
froudsend message03:42
mdkehopefully they will be a regular affair now so it won't be necessary03:42
mdkebut jerome said he would take care of it03:42
froudI reallydontmind, so long as meetings are short, focused and dont just add to the overhead03:43
mdkei know it will slow things down for you, but it will help the team03:43
froudwell I will do what I can for now, so at least ppl can get doing03:43
mdkewhat do you mean?03:44
froudmdke: can you test the make status target03:44
mdkefroud, i tried it earlier, but it didn't work on my gentoo machine03:44
froudHmm your xsl's are not in the same place as debian03:44
mdkepossibly due to a path issue03:44
mdkeyeah exactly03:45
froudwanted to use xml catalogs for that kind of resolving, but they are complcicated and made it hard for newbies to get setup03:45
mdkeis it possible to get it to use an xsl in the ubuntu-doc/ archive itself?03:45
mdkethat would make it distro non-specific03:45
froudyes I can import docbook xsl's and re-engineer from there03:46
froudyou want that?03:46
mdkewould that be a lot of work you think?03:46
froudno03:46
froudabout 15 mins03:46
mdkeany disadvantages?03:46
=== froud wonders if this is another team decision :-)
froudnone really03:47
mdkewell i don't really know enough about docbook to comment03:47
froudit does not really matter where the xsl's are03:47
froudso long as the system can process with them03:47
mdkeyou could try it maybe03:48
froudI have about five installations on one of my systems to cater for various things03:48
mdkeheh03:48
froudok where would you like them?03:48
mdkei have no idea03:49
mdkewhere do you think is best?03:49
mdketeamstuff?03:49
froudthinking libs/ all the other xsl custom layers are there03:49
mdkewhatever you think best03:50
froudlibs/docbook xsl03:50
froudlibs/docbook-xsl03:50
mdkealso if you can tell the list about the target, we can use/test it03:50
froudhmm ok03:50
mdke:)03:51
mdkeright I'll bbl03:51
froudwhat about I do libs/currentxsl where currentxsl is a link to docbook-xsl in vendor/03:52
froudhmm, but then everyone needs vendor03:52
froudno bad idea03:52
froudOK03:52
froudI 'll figure it03:52

froudyou can do the same04:55
mdkeah kewl04:56
mdkei _think_ mine are in /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets-1.66.1/04:56
froudyes that is also possible, but that is a very old location for them04:56
froudwonder why gentoo did not update it04:56
froudwell we can ask the same of ubuntu/debian?04:57
mdkei guess maybe its an older version of docbook04:57
mdkeso I put the path in the "imports" section of html-cust?04:57
froudyeah that should do it for you04:58

mdkeright cool05:08
frouddrive from trunk/Makefile05:08
mdkewhy separate?05:09
mdkemaybe just a "make preview" like this "make status"05:09
froudbut me thinks you chaps dont want HTML only us KDE farts :-)05:09
mdkewell the DocteamProjects page is supposed to link to html previews05:09
froudyes05:09
froudthe previews should and stus should go on docteam.u.c05:10
froudrequested status update on that today05:10
froudmdke: did you grep what I mean?>05:11
mdke?05:11
froudDocteamProject > Status + Previews @ docteam.ubuntu.com05:11
froudasked hendrik if he could arrange that05:12
mdkesure05:12
mdkethere is already an apache server there05:12
froudyes05:12
froudand the url is there05:12
froudyes need permission to do it05:12
mdkewell perhaps henrik has upload05:13
froudand of course some way to make this build on schedule at thathost05:13
mdkeonce the make status and make preview is done he can upload from /build05:13
mdkeyes that shouldn't be hard I guess05:13
froudyes, that would be a manual way05:13
froudI was thinking more automatic05:13
mdkei'm sure auto won't be hard05:13
froudsince svn is on that box05:13
mdkeyep05:14
froudotherwise linode it05:14

squinnI'm like the intern, if you will. Running errands for maintainers, etc.09:38
mdkewell that is up to you ;)09:39
squinnSo, I look at bugs on Bugzilla and Malone and file as such. Right now, I'm downloading latest amule and wxGTK and wxBase and firing them up to respective maintainers.09:39
squinnIt's fun,  I just gotta send this up to our maintainer who will send it to Debian.09:40
squinnI could just go directly to Debian, but I like letting our guy or girl know what's going on.09:40

squinn6.10 is unstable and 6.11's probably more unstable09:49
squinni'll go with 6.9 because it's "testing" and it's got a .tar.gx09:49
squinn.gz*09:49
froudsquinn: 6.11 is final end of this month09:49
