StormyEyesHello. Should I be talking here if I'm just working on the Wiki?04:19
BurgundaviaStormyEyes, what are you planning to do?04:23
StormyEyesI added this page -- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CustomXSession -- and was looking for feedback.04:23
BurgundaviaStormyEyes, if want to edit every page on the entire wiki, then better talk about it first04:23
StormyEyesEvery page? Nah; my wife would kill me for paying more attention to the wiki than to her.04:24
BurgundaviaStormyEyes, basically, look carefully for an existing page before you start a new one04:26
StormyEyesOK, I did that. I didn't see anything in there for custom X sessions.04:26
Burgundaviacool04:27
Burgundaviathanks for the effort04:27
StormyEyesNo problem.04:27
StormyEyesI don't see anything in there for Openbox or other minimal environments; perhaps I should clean up my Openbox howto from the forum and post it on the Wiki.04:27
Burgundaviathat would be cool04:28
StormyEyesBurgundavia, should I join the documentation mailing list if I'm just hacking on the Wiki?04:33

Burgundaviasean just converted the quicktour to docbook09:32
jsgotangconice09:32
=== jsgotangco needs to grab trunk soon
Burgundaviahe likely broke the css however09:32
jsgotangcohe removed the html?09:32

Madpilotsomebody remind me what the CLI command is to start Yelp w/ a specific document?09:34
Burgundaviayelp blah.xml09:34
Madpilotthnx09:35
Burgundaviawell, I need to sleep09:36
Madpilotthe docbook quicktour won't load for me at all - Yelp throws up a bunch of errors, then just loads the default help page...09:36

=== Burgundavia is tempted to simply delete it
jsgotangcosure09:36
Madpilot(yelp:28423): Yelp-CRITICAL **: history_pop_back: assertion `window->priv->history_back != NULL' failed09:36
Madpilotwhatever that means in English...09:36
Burgundaviawell, I pinged Sean and the list about it09:37
BurgundaviaI will leave it for now09:37
jsgotangcoreading...09:41
jsgotangcowhat the heck are those files he added09:44
Burgundaviano idea09:44
Burgundaviashould we remove sean from the commit list?09:44
highvoltageBurgundavia: what have sean done?09:47
Burgundaviahighvoltage, non-communication is my biggest worry09:47
jsgotangcoi don't mind if he's still in commit as long as he does things in a nice way09:47
jsgotangcoits obvious he's doing the  "see i told you so" thing...09:48
BurgundaviaI see big changes to our xsl, which I assume means how things look09:48
MadpilotBurgundavia: XSL = CSS for XML, AFAIK09:48
Burgundaviahighvoltage, I assume you have/do speak with him personally?09:48
highvoltageBurgundavia: i have spoken to him once when I were in Jo'burg for Linuxworld. He hasn't called / msg'd me recently, I think he's angry at me.09:50
Burgundaviahighvoltage, he has not spoken on the doc list for quite some time09:51
Burgundaviahighvoltage, nor has he appeared here09:51
jsgotangcoBurgundavia, we can ask the CC for that i guess09:51
jsgotangcoand clean up the commit list as well09:51
Burgundaviaya09:51
Burgundaviawell, I really need to sleep09:52
Burgundaviawe can talk more tomorrow about it09:52
jsgotangcosure09:52
jsgotangcoi'll email the list about the meeting tommorow09:52
jsgotangcohighvoltage, angry at you?09:53
Madpilotjsgotangco: another 1400Z meeting, right?09:53
jsgotangcoMadpilot, yeah, let's discuss changing that too09:53

rob^mmm dinner09:56
mdkejeez froud is a pain in the ass10:08
mdkei can't help but feel this latest attempt to get kubuntu docs in a different repository is an attempt to control them10:08
jsgotangcoyes10:09
jsgotangcoof course10:09
mdkei agree he should be removed from the commit list unless he provides a satisfactory explanation about whether he is going to play ball10:09
jsgotangcoi'd kick him off the commit list as well10:09
mdkeyep10:14
mdkewe'll see how it goes, and if necessary approach the CC10:14
mdkebut I think this can be resolved within the group10:14
mdkeagenda item?10:15
jsgotangcohmmm no i don't like that10:20
jsgotangcoground rules on committing i guess10:20
mdkeit will be rare that someone needs to be removed from the list10:21
mdkebut it will happen I suppose10:21
jsgotangcoi don't like it, but if he's being a git, its justified10:21
=== mdke nods
=== rob^ reads
mdkeok i gotta do some work10:22
rob^I wonder if that will just make it worse, he would still have read-only access to it10:23
jsgotangcohe can fork if he wants to10:24
mdkequite. So long as he doesn't release things into the ditribution10:27
jsgotangcoahh its a different story :)10:27
jsgotangcohis beef is with kubuntu so we'll just make sure we have good content (promised jjesse will write kubuntu for dapper)10:28
rob^mdke, I have an idea for the revhistory in the faq guide on help.u.c10:30
rob^what if we just used css to shrink the text right down, thus taking up less screen space?10:31
jsgotangcorob^, nice idea10:31
rob^the change to the css file is one line10:31
mdkesure go ahead10:33
rob^there, I'm pretty sure that will work10:39
rob^(its in branch)10:39
mdkecool10:40
jsgotangcoquestion10:41
jsgotangcodo we start merging10:41
mdkeasap10:43
rob^whats the easiest way to do it?10:43
jsgotangcowell not that easy really...10:44
jsgotangcoi can start merging some later...10:44
jsgotangcoand have the old hoary docs branched10:44
mdkebest recruit jbailey for help10:45
rob^oh, umm the licences are not in the faq guide either, xincludes10:45
mdkeyou just noticed now? :)10:45
rob^no the other day10:45
rob^:)10:45
rob^I'm not that slow :P10:45
mdkedunno if fixing that will break the translations10:47
rob^yeah..10:48
jsgotangcoit'll be interesting tommorow :)10:49
jsgotangcoi should email the list10:49
jsgotangcohehe10:49
rob^wiki still down?10:49
rob^oh btw how long do you think the meeting will go tomorrow?10:51
rob^it starts at midnight my time, and I now have to work at 6am..10:52
rob^could be painful10:52

jjessemdke: but right shouldn't the only ones we need in html are the ones released, the kreleasenotes and about-kubuntu?04:04
mdkeyes i agree04:04
mdkeisn't the kquickguide done?04:04
jjessemdke: yes sorry04:05

jjessemdke: riddell and i finished the about kubuntu and kubuntu release notes04:06
mdkeokay04:06
mdkewell those two would be a great start04:06
jjessepardon the stupidity but what needs to be done to make sure they work in html?04:06

froudHello I have a rough work in progress example of two col format for pdf. Its just a sketch but would like feedback. Sample is here08:31
froudhttp://www.inwords.co.za/temp/new.pdf08:31
froudStill lots of format problems08:32
froudand perhaps could use some col spans08:32
froudto break the monotony08:32
froudthings like TOC can be hidden08:33
jjessefroud: that pdf looks cool good job08:46
froudjjesse: thanks, do you think the background color etc is a bit off?08:47
froudI see the images have transparency in the back so the black above and below08:47
jjessebackground color is a little dark i think08:47
froudI will need to make new images08:47
frouddark :-) here is me thinking too light08:48
jjessewo08:48
froudOk will add more white08:48
froudObviously I need to put <?colbreak?> in the right places08:49
froudWhat about the std fonts08:49
froudI was hoping change to Verdana08:49
froudAnd make headings a twee bit smaller?08:50
jjessehmm thinking08:57
jjessethe headings could me a tad bit smaller08:58
froudand body text at Verdana 1008:59
