thechitowncubsHey everyone06:19
thechitowncubsanyone here?06:19
thechitowncubs[[TableOfContents([maxdepth] )] ] 06:19
thechitowncubsWhat would be an example of maxdepth06:20
thechitowncubsI'm trying to change this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultimediaApplications06:20
robitaillethe crowd waves at thechitowncubs  :)06:20
thechitowncubsbut I can't seem to get the table to record my maxdepth option06:20
MadpilotPPCwiki markup... blarg...06:20
robitailleMadpilotPPC,   yeah 7am is a bad time for me.  Maybe tomorrow will be better since there is no school on friday due to that teacher strike....06:20
thechitowncubs11:21 pm here06:21
thechitowncubsI want to fix this one thing before I go to bed.06:21
thechitowncubsIt's been bugging me for a long time...06:21
thechitowncubsanyone have any ideas?06:21
MadpilotPPCthechitowncubs, I see what you mean; that's an ugly ToC06:22
thechitowncubsHEH06:22
thechitowncubsI'm trying to limit it to the app name06:23
MadpilotPPCwhat happens if you bump some of the subtitles down to just being bold, rather than being actual headers06:23
thechitowncubsthat's an option, i'd rather use the maxdepth option, seems to be easy06:24
MadpilotPPC... only if it works...06:24
thechitowncubsAh, fixed.06:24

robitaillejsgotangco,   I'm not too late to look at the release notes?  24 hours later, I'm finally free to look at them :)09:03
jsgotangcorobitaille, zone out, its very much open season at the moment09:04
robitaillejsgotangco,  in the credit section, we have "contributors" for all the section, even the ones with only one guy listed.  Should I change them, or we are expected more names everywhere?09:35
jsgotangcocredit?09:35
robitaillein the release notes, at the end there is a credit section09:36
jsgotangcowhat are you looking at09:37
=== jsgotangco is sure he didn't put any credits
robitaillegnome/releasenotes/C/release-notes.xml09:38
robitaillehumm.. I guess I was reading the wrong one :)09:38
jsgotangconooo09:38

robitaillenow I'm lost.  so it's not on the svn repo?09:42
robitaillebut only at https://docteam.ubuntu.com/repos/branches/breezy/gnome/releasenotes/C/breezy-release-notes.xml09:42
jsgotangcoit is09:45
jsgotangcothat's the one09:45
robitailleok I got it now..  I was a bit dense tonight...  maybe a sign that it is bed time soon :)09:49
jsgotangcoheh09:50
jsgotangcothe doc is almost done though just a few more things to add09:50

robitailleis "regulary" a word?  :)    (in the first line of what's new) 09:57
Kinnisonhi09:58
robitaillejsgotangco,   I'm going to bed.  The only 2 things in the breezy-release notes I noticed were that "regulary" typo in the what's new section, and section 2.4 is missing the actual installation instructions.  But I'm guessing the instructions are still to come10:14
jsgotangcorobitaille, just the mandatory press enter or type server or oem thing10:14
robitaillejsgotangco,  how about inserting the CD first :)10:16
jsgotangcolol10:16
jsgotangcoyeah10:16
jsgotangcoi'll work on it tonight then send to list for reviews10:17
robitaillesounds good.  good night10:17
rob^is it worth having a meeting today?10:42
MadpilotPPCat oh-God-hundred hours?10:43
rob^yar10:44
MadpilotPPCI'm not going to make it, I'm afraid...10:44
rob^I noticed the agenda page hasn't been updated, because theres really not much to talk about at the moment10:44
MadpilotPPC1400Z = 0700 local, it's currently 0130 local, I'm four beer down and I work at 0900. 0700 meetings are right out for me... ;)10:45
rob^the meeting is at midnight friday here10:45

jsgotangcorob^, lol10:58
rob^:)10:58
jsgotangcowe made the meeting at 14:00 for our special friend the aussies10:59
rob^such as me10:59
jsgotangco(friday as well)10:59
jsgotangcobut the canucks doesn't seem to favor it at all10:59
jsgotangcorob^, we need to rebuild10:59
rob^1400 doesn't bother me, friday is good though10:59
jsgotangcowe're the only active writers atm10:59
rob^yeah ;(10:59
jsgotangcoalong with jjesse10:59
rob^maybe we need to make it easier for people to help11:00
rob^I noticed the odd person offering help on the list11:00
jsgotangcoodd?11:00
jsgotangcowe'll get creamed in dapper if we don't get our act together11:00
rob^odd, as in occasional11:00
jsgotangcoau english *grr*11:01
rob^aussie enlglish11:01
rob^heh11:01
rob^english11:01
rob^I was tempted to do an aussie slang translation of the faq guide but didn't get time :)11:01
MadpilotPPCEnglish is a wonderful language, but it's not actually spoken in England and everyone thinks their version is the "proper" version... ;)11:02
jsgotangcorob^, what is your vision of doc work in dapper11:02
MadpilotPPCrob^, I've been kicking around the idea of a .ca slang one, in time for UBZ, as a joke... ;)11:02
jsgotangcoMadpilotPPC, are you doing an all-nighter?11:03
rob^well for one thing I think it would be easier to discuss at ubz in person11:03
MadpilotPPCjsgotangco, no, I'm off to bed very, very soon, it's just on 0200 here11:03
rob^but I can't swim that far :P11:03
jsgotangcosame here i could probably swim to your place though if i start this weekend11:04
rob^heh you and I would be the docteam meeting11:04
jsgotangcorob^, MadpilotPPC we still need a plan though11:05
rob^umm well now that we have an faq it won't take much to update it come dapper11:05
rob^I think we should now work on getting the user guide up to scratch11:06
jsgotangcoare you really satisfied with the faq atm11:06
rob^well about as satisfied as I can be11:06
rob^given the time restraint11:07
rob^I'd like to have the kubuntu one done too11:08
rob^I think we can still have a cost effective faq, but there are two or three pages that need to be separate for Ubuntu and Kubuntu11:09
rob^I do think these string freezes are bad for keeping the docteam together though11:11
jsgotangcostring freeze ain't bad what's bad is that no one's writing11:11
rob^I think its because no one really can at the moment11:12
rob^before breezy is released there is no point trying to document an os that doesn't yet exist11:12
rob^as it was several late changed had to go through for the faq guide11:12
jsgotangcoi disagree we have rolling milestones11:13
rob^changes*11:13
rob^maybe, but how can one write a faq guide or userguide about dapper at the moment?11:13
jsgotangcolike i said we have rolling milestones11:14
jsgotangcooh you can't atm really11:14
jsgotangcobut you know have your breezy11:14
rob^likelyhood is that not much will happen until after ubz, when plans have been put into place for dapper11:14
jsgotangcorob^, oh no writing actually happens even after ubz11:14
jsgotangcobut it doesn't mean you won't plan11:14
rob^I'm talking real work though11:15
jsgotangcoa week or two after ubz dapper uploads will happen11:15
rob^jsgotangco, yes thats what I meant11:15
rob^I think one thing that would help is being able to upload new ubuntu-docs updatesafter release11:18
jsgotangcoyes that's what me and jbailey have talked about11:19
jsgotangcomaking sure docs are uplodaed for every milestone11:19
jsgotangcoeven if its just WIP11:19
rob^yes, thats a good start, one that I agree with11:19
rob^its a pitty we cant have things translated after Ubuntu/Kubuntu release though11:20

jsgotangcojbailey is your daddy05:15
Kamping_Kaiserre bugs, im going through the 'unnoffical guide' one page at a time trying to find errors, since its fairly important if it does end up going into breezy+1 (which iirc was in question?)05:15
jsgotangcoKamping_Kaiser: yes05:16
jsgotangcowe'd like to build on it in the future05:16
jsgotangcoits nice you've looked ahead05:16
mdkeKamping_Kaiser, pls note that in the docteam repo, "trunk" is out of date, the breezy stuff is to be found in branches/breezy05:16

Kamping_Kaiserthen your better then me :) 05:23
mdkeKamping_Kaiser, the instructions on the wiki refer to downloading the "trunk" which is our normal working copy05:23
mdkehowever they dont include some changes which we made to the breezy branch after we branched it off05:23

jbaileyKinnison: Hey darlin'05:24
jsgotangcohi Kinnison05:24
Kamping_Kaiserjbailey: the reason i ask -> grep ^.+ testfile <- isnt doing what i thought it did (list every line with characters in it)05:25
jsgotangcomdke: got to talk to sabdfl a few hours ago, said he's gonna start writing too05:29
