| poningru | whos incharge of ubotu ? | 01:53 |
|---|---|---|
| rob^ | I forget | 01:53 |
| poningru | cause its locked | 01:53 |
| rob^ | I just made a change to it | 01:53 |
| poningru | oh | 01:53 |
| poningru | is it the dualboot? | 01:54 |
| poningru | anyway it worked thanks | 01:54 |
| rob^ | some people added some inapproprate things to it a while back, they may have some sought of acl on it now I'm not sure | 01:54 |
| rob^ | yeah, I added dualboot for you | 01:54 |
| HrdwrBoB | sort not sought :) | 01:54 |
| rob^ | yeah, yeah.. | 01:54 |
| rob^ | I'm sick with the flu, leave me alone :P | 01:55 |
| poningru | hehe we forgive you | 01:55 |
| Burgundavia | rwabel, from what I understand, backports staging can also go away | 02:53 |
| Burgundavia | backports is now just like universe and multiverse | 02:53 |
| Burgundavia | what language was this? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats?action=diff | 02:58 |
| HrdwrBoB | spanish | 03:22 |
| HrdwrBoB | looks like | 03:22 |
| Burgundavia | sure it is not portugese? | 03:22 |
| HrdwrBoB | nope | 03:24 |
| Burgundavia | ok | 03:24 |
| Burgundavia | well the old revisions are in the wiki | 03:24 |
| Burgundavia | we can pull out when we find out | 03:24 |
| === rob^ pokes head in | ||
| Burgundavia | Kassim <-- this is the guy that has been translating pages in place | 03:24 |
| Burgundavia | please revert if you see him | 03:24 |
| rob^ | ah | 03:25 |
| rob^ | what a pain | 03:25 |
| Burgundavia | well the copies are stored, so when we figure out what language, it will be trivial to copy them to a new page | 03:25 |
| HrdwrBoB | any way of contacting him etc? | 03:25 |
| Burgundavia | the work is not lose | 03:25 |
| Burgundavia | not easily | 03:25 |
| Burgundavia | mediawiki has a user talk page, and tells you when someone edits it | 03:25 |
| Burgundavia | moin does not | 03:26 |
| HrdwrBoB | ah, I thought it was missing a few features | 03:26 |
| Burgundavia | moin is much nicer in terms of thoughput | 03:26 |
| Burgundavia | it has manage 10x the number of hits as mediawiki | 03:26 |
| Burgundavia | but mediawiki has some useful features for larger groups of people and communication only on the wiki | 03:27 |
| Burgundavia | the wiki mark in media is also more sane and has more features | 03:28 |
| Burgundavia | for better presentation docs | 03:28 |
| rwabel | burgundavia: thanks for the answer | 03:30 |
| Burgundavia | rwabel, np | 03:31 |
| rwabel | burgundavia: the page is in portugese, even though I don't speak that language | 03:32 |
| Burgundavia | rwabel, would you mind moving his translations from the history of the following pages? | 03:33 |
| Burgundavia | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallUbuntuOnLowMemorySystems | 03:33 |
| Burgundavia | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats | 03:33 |
| Burgundavia | I have to be somewhere in 30 minutes | 03:33 |
| rwabel | how do I move history? | 03:33 |
| Burgundavia | just PortugesePageName is fine now | 03:33 |
| Burgundavia | just copy paset from the history | 03:33 |
| rwabel | only english part | 03:34 |
| Burgundavia | click on getinfo | 03:35 |
| Burgundavia | and then view the edit by Kassim | 03:35 |
| Burgundavia | copy that | 03:35 |
| rwabel | ok I found it | 03:37 |
| rwabel | and copy where in the RestrictedFormats? | 03:37 |
| rwabel | it's a complet different subject?! | 03:37 |
| Burgundavia | is it? | 03:37 |
| Burgundavia | anyway, I have run | 03:37 |
| HrdwrBoB | wtf is he doing | 03:38 |
| Burgundavia | if you get stuck, email the list | 03:38 |
| HrdwrBoB | why translate things in place | 03:38 |
| rwabel | I'm now a bit confused where to put that....it's complet different stuff | 03:38 |
| rob^ | when the faq guide was ported into svn, was it done under both licences or just one? | 03:38 |
| Burgundavia | rob^, gpl, gfdl and cc-by-sa 2.0 | 03:38 |
| Burgundavia | rob^, ours and his | 03:38 |
| rob^ | all three? | 03:38 |
| rob^ | hmm | 03:39 |
| Burgundavia | it is a deriv of his work, which is gpl | 03:39 |
| Burgundavia | and thus must be gpl | 03:39 |
| rob^ | yeah | 03:39 |
| Burgundavia | he agreed to relicense under our licenses | 03:39 |
| Burgundavia | which makes it tri-licensed | 03:39 |
| rob^ | super.. | 03:39 |
| rwabel | burgundavia: I better don't move the things, I don't wanna mess sth up.... | 03:40 |
| Burgundavia | ok, email the list about it then | 03:40 |
| rob^ | I thought the gpl is a software licence | 03:40 |
| Burgundavia | rob^, it is a license | 03:40 |
| rob^ | the gfdl is the documentation one | 03:40 |
| Burgundavia | it can applied ot anything, but it is meant for software | 03:40 |
| rob^ | yeah. | 03:40 |
| rwabel | burgundavia: email what to whom? | 03:41 |
| Burgundavia | gfdl and cc-by-ca 2.0 are DFSG-non-fre | 03:41 |
| Burgundavia | rwabel, email the ubuntu-doc list about those docs | 03:41 |
| rwabel | burgundavia: sorry, I've no idea about these docs, what should I email..I mean what's the problem or what is not ok..what should be done. | 03:42 |

| jsgotangco | rob^, nice on YelpMain but you'll have to contend with scrollkeeper for that as well editing the toc.xml is quite easy but I think the plan for Breezy would be a separate document | 09:04 |
| === poningru [~poningru@pool-68-238-172-217.tampfl.fios.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc | ||
| poningru | anyone know why the wiki is subdomained under ubuntu and not ubuntulinux? | 09:05 |
| jsgotangco | but if you just want to put these documents in Yelp status quo, just adding a yelp chunk on the final xml would work | 09:05 |
| HrdwrBoB | poningru: it's both | 09:05 |
| jsgotangco | poningru, its the same thing | 09:05 |
| rob^ | jsgotangco, say again? | 09:05 |
| rob^ | jsgotangco, I was going to suggest it at the meeting as an alternative | 09:06 |
| rob^ | jsgotangco, I'll edit the toc.xml if needed | 09:06 |
| rob^ | or whatever else is needed.. | 09:06 |
| === rob^ is confused | ||
| jsgotangco | rob^, coordinate with jdub about it | 09:07 |
| poningru | ic | 09:07 |
| jsgotangco | rob^, all entries in yelp are catalogued by sk | 09:07 |
| jsgotangco | (currently) | 09:07 |
| jsgotangco | that's why we have a lot of upstream docs in it at the moment | 09:08 |
| rob^ | ok | 09:09 |
| rob^ | are you talking about yelp in Breezy at the moment | 09:10 |
| jsgotangco | Hoary as well | 09:10 |
| rob^ | the main page in hoary at the moment (as released) is kind of like my idea | 09:12 |
| rob^ | we just need to expand it to cover all our docs | 09:12 |
| jsgotangco | if the Yelp main page will be status quo, we'll just have to add an sk catalog file so that it'll be part of the front page | 09:14 |
| Burgundavia | the current main page is seriously non-functional | 09:14 |
| Burgundavia | with no search, there is no reasonable way for anyone to find anything | 09:15 |
| rob^ | Burgundavia, yes, it just needs love | 09:15 |
| Burgundavia | and we can safely say that 95% of the questions will be about 10% of our material | 09:15 |
| rob^ | search should be a yelp thing, not a page thing | 09:15 |
| jsgotangco | well yes, is an upstream issue either way on the search thing... | 09:15 |
| Burgundavia | search is unlikely to happen in the breezy timeframe, from what I understand | 09:15 |
| jsgotangco | that's why the workaround was to have a separate document on the yelp main page | 09:16 |
| jsgotangco | but if thats not workable, we'll just have to contend with adding sk catalog files again | 09:16 |
| jsgotangco | and edit toc.xml if needed | 09:16 |

| insanekane | froud_: are you there ? | 09:16 |
| Burgundavia | insanekane, you speak portugese or spanish? | 09:17 |
| insanekane | neither | 09:17 |
| jsgotangco | we'll probably get colony 3 anytime this week... | 09:17 |
| insanekane | Burgundavia: last night, my power went out ... thats why i left suddenly | 09:17 |
| Burgundavia | insanekane, ah, poor man | 09:18 |
| insanekane | Burgundavia: heavy rains in this area | 09:18 |
| Burgundavia | ouch | 09:18 |
| rob^ | jsgotangco, where is toc.xml in svn? | 09:18 |
| jsgotangco | its not part of our svn | 09:19 |
| rob^ | in the distro | 09:19 |
| rob^ | ok | 09:19 |
| rob^ | I got it | 09:20 |
| jsgotangco | Meeting time (there is a reason I put this first, please leave it!) | 09:20 |
| jsgotangco | ? | 09:20 |
| jsgotangco | its in the agenda | 09:20 |
| rob^ | yeah that was me | 09:20 |
| jsgotangco | what's the issue? | 09:20 |
| jsgotangco | we rotate 14 and 22 | 09:21 |
| rob^ | 1400z on Thursday is really bad | 09:21 |
| Burgundavia | it is shit for me as well | 09:22 |
| rob^ | thats midnight my time, and I have to be up at 5am for work | 09:22 |
| Burgundavia | but it does get me up early | 09:22 |
| jsgotangco | rob^, its morning for the canucks | 09:22 |
| Burgundavia | 7am for me | 09:22 |
| jsgotangco | 22 for me is 6am | 09:22 |
| rob^ | we need to make it like friday instead | 09:22 |
| rob^ | or at some other time | 09:22 |
| poningru | is this like a meeting or something I had a question about a wiki page | 09:23 |
| poningru | can I butt in? | 09:23 |
| Burgundavia | meeting times suck for everybody at different times | 09:23 |
| Burgundavia | that is why we rotate | 09:24 |
| jsgotangco | poningru, sure ask away this is just informal talk | 09:24 |
| rob^ | yeah I know they do | 09:24 |
| poningru | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WiFiHowto | 09:24 |
| poningru | doesnt that look complete? | 09:24 |
| rob^ | but even an hour earlier would be helpful | 09:24 |
| poningru | can we take that off of the cleanup list | 09:24 |
| Burgundavia | poningru, yes, but a little too wordy | 09:24 |
| poningru | ok so you want it sweet and simplified? | 09:25 |
| jsgotangco | rob^, anything earlier than 14 would be asking too much for the people in NA | 09:25 |
| poningru | will work on it then | 09:25 |
| rob^ | man world wide meeting times suck | 09:25 |
| Burgundavia | yes they do | 09:25 |
| Burgundavia | the technical board has fun | 09:25 |
| Burgundavia | as mdz is in my timezone | 09:25 |
| rob^ | a lot more members.. | 09:25 |
| poningru | hehe yeah they are not so bad if most of the people are in the same hemisphere | 09:25 |
| jsgotangco | the next CC meeting would suck as that would be at 4am | 09:25 |
| Burgundavia | poningru, ideally, it should be do A because of B, then do C | 09:26 |
| jsgotangco | rob^, problem on our side is that our team is spread across atlantic and pacific :) | 09:26 |
| === rob^ is just on the wrong side of the world | ||
| Burgundavia | we have active teams members is -7, +1, 0 and whater the aussie/jstongco is | 09:27 |
| rob^ | +10 | 09:27 |
| jsgotangco | yeah | 09:27 |
| jsgotangco | im +8 | 09:27 |
| jsgotangco | so a solution is that we all emigrate somewhere... | 09:28 |
| rob^ | I dunno, but maybe something could be discussed was my objective for it | 09:28 |
| jsgotangco | rob^, sure we'll put it on discussion on the meeting | 09:28 |
| insanekane | or perhaps some asynchronous mechanism, such as ... mailing list ? :) | 09:28 |
| === insanekane ducks | ||
| rob^ | grr why does yelp not like the yelp .xml files | 09:29 |
| Burgundavia | it doesn't like malformed xml | 09:29 |
| rob^ | heh yeah | 09:29 |
| === Burgundavia is glad that HostingGeek has never found the time to grace our channel | ||
| jsgotangco | lol | 09:31 |
| jsgotangco | did he get banned again | 09:31 |
| === jsgotangco likes LocalHelp for lack of a search function... | ||
| Burgundavia | no | 09:32 |
| Burgundavia | he is being himself in #inkscape | 09:32 |
| Burgundavia | he got banned from #openttd | 09:32 |
| Burgundavia | jsgotangco, you mean that you like local help if we don't get a search function? | 09:33 |
| Burgundavia | poningru, the general rule I follow when I write a doc is after I am finished, look at each sentence and try to reduce the word count | 09:36 |
| jsgotangco | Burgundavia, it can work if we are in that situation... | 09:37 |
| Burgundavia | jsgotangco, which I fear we may be in | 09:37 |
| Burgundavia | again... | 09:37 |
| jsgotangco | but then even old Yelp in RHEL had an Index | 09:37 |
| jsgotangco | i mean search-capable index | 09:38 |
| Burgundavia | rofl --> http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?t=19585 | 09:38 |

| jsgotangco | hmmm freeciv2 already has an osx binary.. | 09:41 |
| Burgundavia | yes | 09:41 |
| jsgotangco | how good is open ttd | 09:41 |
| Burgundavia | the original game plus some cool new features | 09:42 |
| Burgundavia | they are working on new graphics (they currently need to old copyrighted ones) | 09:42 |
| jsgotangco | oh you mean the original game is already open? | 09:42 |
| Burgundavia | they also ship a deb | 09:42 |
| Burgundavia | no | 09:42 |
| Burgundavia | the original author of ttd reverse engineered ttd and rewrote it in C | 09:42 |
| jsgotangco | isnt that sid meier | 09:43 |
| jsgotangco | ? | 09:43 |
| rob^ | jsgotangco, Burgundavia I just made an update to YelpMain.. bbs | 09:43 |
| Burgundavia | no | 09:43 |
| Burgundavia | is Chris Sawyer, of Roller coast tycoon | 09:43 |
| jsgotangco | oh right...christ sawyer | 09:43 |
| jsgotangco | what are the other cool oss games out there | 09:47 |
| Burgundavia | there is a list on the forums, just a sec | 09:47 |
| jsgotangco | you mean they're already packaged for ubuntu? | 09:48 |
| Burgundavia | some are | 09:48 |
| jsgotangco | motu games :D | 09:48 |
| Burgundavia | barrage is a fun little game | 09:48 |
| Burgundavia | MOTUGames is mostly my idea | 09:48 |
| jsgotangco | i would probably enjoy doing MOTUGames | 09:48 |
| Burgundavia | I am waiting for unfrgivens intro developer docs | 09:48 |
| Burgundavia | so I can start packaging | 09:49 |
| Burgundavia | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=5153 | 09:49 |
| jsgotangco | is openttd already in upstream? | 09:49 |
| Burgundavia | no | 09:50 |
| Burgundavia | put the .debs that openttd themselves make install fine on hoary and breezy | 09:50 |
| jsgotangco | with sound? | 09:50 |
| Burgundavia | yes | 09:51 |
| Burgundavia | yes dmix | 09:51 |
| jsgotangco | nice | 09:51 |
| Burgundavia | but dmix appears to have borked on me | 09:51 |
| jsgotangco | hmm let me try... | 09:52 |
| jsgotangco | OpenTTD requires the original version of Transport Tycoon Deluxe data files in order to function. Please refer to the readme for more information. | 09:53 |
| jsgotangco | gyaahhh | 09:53 |
| Burgundavia | I have them | 09:53 |
| Burgundavia | you want me to mail them to you? | 09:53 |
| jsgotangco | how big? | 09:53 |
| Burgundavia | 5 mb | 09:54 |
| jsgotangco | gee fire away..its not that much | 09:54 |
| Burgundavia | sent | 09:55 |
| poningru | can you mail it to me as well please? | 09:56 |
| poningru | poningru@gmail.com | 09:56 |
| jsgotangco | oh its mostly artwork stuff... | 09:56 |
| Burgundavia | all artwork stuff | 09:57 |
| Burgundavia | poningru, sent | 09:57 |
| poningru | thanks dude | 09:58 |
| rob^ | ok back | 10:07 |
| rob^ | my issue with localhelp, even though we don't have a search function, is that it becomes messy | 10:08 |
| Burgundavia | yes it does | 10:09 |
| rob^ | it has pointers all over the place | 10:09 |
| Burgundavia | we need to satisfy that 95%/10% divide | 10:09 |
| rob^ | and we already have a list of whats in each doc in the toc | 10:09 |
| Burgundavia | which we currently do not do | 10:09 |
| rob^ | ie, in the toc of each document | 10:09 |
| Burgundavia | every click that we require users to make has a "cost" | 10:09 |
| rob^ | and 99.9% of people have read a book | 10:10 |
| Burgundavia | the higher the cost, the more likely they are to give up | 10:10 |
| rob^ | a toc shouldn't be unfamiliar with them either | 10:10 |
| Burgundavia | the total "money" that people are usually willing to spend on help is about 1 or 2 clicks | 10:10 |
| rob^ | I think it would cost more click using Localhelp | 10:10 |
| rob^ | particularly if the info they were after isnt where they clicked | 10:11 |
| Burgundavia | for some yes | 10:11 |
| Burgundavia | but not for the majority | 10:11 |
| rob^ | YelpMain also makes keeping it up to date much easier | 10:11 |
| jsgotangco | Burgundavia, i got nasty libc6 dependency problems while installing openttd | 10:11 |
| rob^ | LocalHelp is like having a whole new document] | 10:11 |
| Burgundavia | jsgotangco, oh crap | 10:11 |
| Burgundavia | they are built against sarge | 10:11 |
| jsgotangco | Burgundavia, hehehe...long debate on this... | 10:12 |
| jsgotangco | rob^, the current plan is to have a new document on Yelp | 10:12 |
| Burgundavia | sometimes binary compatiblity is nice, for stable distros | 10:12 |
| jsgotangco | rob^, it was already discussed before by jdub and mpt | 10:12 |
| rob^ | jsgotangco, yes, but it doesn't need to be so complicated | 10:12 |
| jsgotangco | rob^, we lack a search function :( | 10:13 |
| rob^ | jsgotangco, but we still have table of contents | 10:13 |
| Burgundavia | when we get a search function, we can debate this again | 10:13 |
| rob^ | in each doc, automatically updated as we work on it | 10:13 |
| rob^ | a search function would be nice, but we don't have to have it | 10:14 |
| jsgotangco | all help have search functions | 10:14 |
| jsgotangco | except yelp at the moment | 10:14 |
| rob^ | something like LocalHelp works for the wiki because there is no other way to show that kind of info | 10:14 |
| rob^ | but not when each link has its own toc | 10:15 |
| Burgundavia | say I am looking for one of the common 10 things | 10:15 |
| rob^ | faq/quick guide | 10:15 |
| jsgotangco | rob^, but anything 2 levels deeper will make it tedious and overwhelming for some | 10:15 |
| Burgundavia | but that requires a click | 10:16 |
| rob^ | most likely you will know what your problem is ie. I want to install a music app | 10:16 |
| Burgundavia | no | 10:16 |
| rob^ | how can the 10 most asked questions cover that? | 10:16 |
| Burgundavia | mostly you will no want you want to do | 10:16 |
| Burgundavia | not how to do it | 10:16 |
| rob^ | jsgotangco, its not | 10:16 |
| Burgundavia | task-based, not application-based | 10:16 |
| jsgotangco | rob^, if you notice GNOME is starting to get task-based even | 10:17 |

| Burgundavia | yes, and the gnome people realize that | 10:19 |
| Burgundavia | there is a wiki page about a rethink of that stuff | 10:19 |
| rob^ | but thats what LocalHelp is | 10:19 |
| jsgotangco | that's why gnome is beginning to be task-based | 10:19 |
| Burgundavia | no it isn't | 10:19 |
| Burgundavia | we need about 7-10 items on the yelp main page | 10:20 |
| Burgundavia | they can expand to 7 items each | 10:20 |
| rob^ | Burgundavia, yes, in fact it is | 10:20 |
| rob^ | and that makes it worse | 10:20 |
| Burgundavia | not if the headings are well designed | 10:20 |
| === jsgotangco gives up on the yelp discussion as it was already discussed a lot of times already | ||
| Burgundavia | rather than argue about it | 10:20 |
| Burgundavia | lets just fix LocalHelp | 10:20 |
| rob^ | it takes me at least just six scrolls of the wheel mouse just to view it all | 10:21 |
| rob^ | most people wont read past the first page or two | 10:21 |
| rob^ | and just give up | 10:21 |
| Burgundavia | rob^, remember that the subsections will be hidden by default | 10:21 |
| Burgundavia | and only open when they click | 10:21 |
| jsgotangco | thats why books arent really great for help in the first place | 10:21 |
| rob^ | I'm not arguing, I want to fix LocalHelp, thats why I am speaking up | 10:22 |
| Burgundavia | also remeber that the text on the wiki is larger | 10:22 |
| Burgundavia | and the spacing larger | 10:22 |
| rob^ | a little, but its still long | 10:22 |
| Burgundavia | but most of the subsections will not be open | 10:22 |
| rob^ | and there is still a lot to be added to LocalHelp yet also | 10:22 |
| Burgundavia | so you wil see 9 items | 10:23 |
| rob^ | my way you would see about 5 | 10:23 |
| rob^ | one for each doc | 10:23 |
| rob^ | click on one, there is the toc for that doc | 10:23 |
| Burgundavia | I think I can safely predict taht most people will simply click ont he faq guide | 10:24 |
| Burgundavia | and those that don't will get confused | 10:24 |
| rob^ | the faq guide is for quick answers to common questions | 10:24 |
| rob^ | thats its purpose | 10:24 |
| Burgundavia | then why make the extra click? if we already know what most people are going to ask | 10:25 |
| rob^ | but by your reasoning, we should scrap everything and just have the faq guide | 10:25 |
| Burgundavia | not really | 10:25 |
| Burgundavia | I want small bitsized docs | 10:25 |
| Burgundavia | not huge books | 10:25 |
| Burgundavia | that are massivelly interlinked | 10:26 |
| Burgundavia | think a well done wiki | 10:26 |
| jsgotangco | there's a reason why Burgundavia wants to respec the curret quickguide as well | 10:27 |
| jsgotangco | if LocalHelp is made possible | 10:27 |
| jsgotangco | i'll brb | 10:28 |

| mdke | rob^, ping? | 11:12 |
| jsgotangco | hey mdke | 11:13 |
| === jsgotangco is reading about Rails | ||
| rob^ | mdke, pong | 11:13 |
| rob^ | whats up? | 11:14 |
| Burgundavia | salut mdke | 11:14 |
| mdke | yo | 11:14 |
| mdke | rob^, i noticed you changed the links to the faqguide on DocteamProjects, is something wrong with the hosting it has currently? | 11:14 |
| rob^ | the previews arnt working | 11:15 |
| mdke | in what way? | 11:15 |
| rob^ | ie, click on them, you get an error message | 11:15 |
| jsgotangco | Burgundavia: sent | 11:16 |
| Burgundavia | jsgotangco, cheers | 11:16 |
| rob^ | eg: | 11:16 |
| rob^ | Routing Error | 11:16 |
| rob^ | Recognition failed for "/~ubuntu-doc/about-ubuntu/C/" | 11:16 |
| mdke | rob^, i see it, odd. | 11:16 |
| rob^ | I didn't know if anyone was updating them | 11:16 |
| mdke | yes i have been | 11:17 |
| rob^ | so I have the latest copy of the faq guide on my web host | 11:17 |
| mdke | ok | 11:17 |
| rob^ | but I can change the link back if you want | 11:17 |
| Burgundavia | jsgotangco, that is major cool stuff | 11:17 |
| Burgundavia | have to parse it more later | 11:17 |
| jsgotangco | Burgundavia: aye its a mouthful...i have to digest it further | 11:17 |
| Burgundavia | I need to get to bed | 11:17 |
| Burgundavia | job search calls tomorrow | 11:17 |
| jsgotangco | heh good luck! | 11:17 |
| Burgundavia | and faxing my laptop testing stuff! | 11:18 |
| jsgotangco | Burgundavia: claire sent the wrong fax number | 11:18 |
| Burgundavia | yes, she emailed me the correct one | 11:18 |
| jsgotangco | ahh | 11:18 |
| jsgotangco | i just scanned mine | 11:18 |
| mdke | rob^, i'll ping tseng to ask why the hosting isn't working. but the docteam linode is working already, we only need a domain name for it and then we can use that. | 11:18 |
| rob^ | mdke, the way I have it is a bit of a fudge (it requires me building then uploading via ftp to my website) | 11:19 |
| rob^ | cool | 11:19 |
| rob^ | feel free to change them to it | 11:19 |
| mdke | dunno if its worth changing them already to the ip address of the server, or waiting for the domain | 11:19 |
| rob^ | docteam.u.o? | 11:20 |
| mdke | com | 11:20 |
| rob^ | yeah that one? | 11:21 |
| rob^ | ok | 11:21 |
| mdke | yes | 11:21 |
| rob^ | is it ok to have a link to the GPL (ie a ulink) or do I need to include it with the faq guide? | 11:24 |
