=== BeerDump [n=jsg@202.57.71.235] has joined #ubuntu-doc
MadpilotOK... why do we currently have both this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewUserGuide07:58
Madpilothttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewUbuntuUsers <-- and this?07:58
Burgundaviathat was from the Nun effort07:58
ajmitchbecause the new users group is disorganised?07:58
Burgundaviayou can redirect them to UserDocumentation07:58
Madpilotso we can blame the Pope for this?07:58
Burgundaviabecause the group has been dead for a while now07:58
=== ajmitch would hate to think how many MOTU pages there are
ajmitchat least the MOTU group isn't dead! :)07:59
Burgundaviaajmitch, CategoryMOTU will give you a lot of them07:59
Madpilotneither of these are old pages - both started this month, from what I can tell.07:59
ajmitchpossibly not all of them, since we've made new pages07:59
BurgundaviaMadpilot, nope, that is the last edit07:59
=== highvoltage [n=Jono@196.36.161.235] has joined #ubuntu-doc
Burgundaviaprevious edit before that was in July07:59
Burgundaviasame with the other one08:00
MadpilotI'll just have a quick look thru them both, steal any good ideas for UserDocs, and then nuke them to redirect to UD, then...08:01
Madpilothttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewToUbuntu  <-- and another one08:10
MadpilotI'm going to get a reputation as "The Great Redirector" around here..08:10
Madpilot;)08:10
Burgundavianow if only the search ignored redirects08:11
Madpilotah well08:13
Madpilothttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/HowToGetHelp <-- this I quite like, however. I'm going to clean it up and link to it from UserDocs08:15
Burgundaviahttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/WikiImprovements <-- please edit with your ideas08:17
Madpilotwill do. am also planning another email to the doc-list, possibly tonight.08:17
Madpilotwhat do ppl think of restructing bits of the wiki as a sequential walkthrough, similar to linuxcommand.org's setup?08:18
Burgundaviathe problem with that is if people want to jump to the specific info08:19
Madpilothave a look at how linuxcommand does it - there's both a regular ToC and a "Next Page" link08:20
Burgundaviahmm08:21
Madpilot" This is an unofficial guide for users of Ubuntu: shows you how to do many things. It is better at merely showing than actually explaining, however, and parts are not up to date." <-- fair?08:34

robitailleI'm currently testing the laptop once, and trying to fill up more items on my laptop wiki page09:31
robitaillenow I only need to find a docking station for it...09:31
Madpilothttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuHowComeDraft  <-- trying to finish this off a bit more so we can junk the existing UbuntuHowCome, which is a mess...09:33
Madpilotoops.. Mark Shuttleworth's own website doesn't validate ;)  http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.markshuttleworth.com%2F  - and part of it doesn't work in Opera, but that's a know Opera Javascript bug... :(09:39
