Burgundaviaah shit06:30
BurgundaviaMadpilot, ping06:30
rob^haha06:30
MadpilotBurgundavia: edit conflict there06:31
MadpilotI'm reverting06:31
BurgundaviaMadpilot, we should be good now06:31
MadpilotI think so...06:31
Burgundaviawho did that?06:31
Madpilotdid what?06:32
MadpilotI was restoring RootSudo, and setting up RootPrivs as a redirect06:32
Burgundaviathe orginal redirect away from RootSudo?06:33
Madpilotthere was never a redirect from RS to RP, just a link06:33
=== jsgotangco [n=jsg@202.57.71.235] has joined #ubuntu-doc
Burgundaviait ended up a circular redirect for a second there06:34
MadpilotBurgundavia: OK, it's all good now, RootSudo is back and RootPrivs is a redirect to RS06:34
=== Burgundavia curses the primitive history features of moinmoin
MadpilotI had thought that RootPrivileges was new, but it's been around a while, lurking...06:35
MadpilotAndrewZajac2 seems to have done the moving, and of course he doesn't have a wiki page or contact point...06:37
Burgundaviahe does actually06:37
Burgundaviaarzajac at yahoo dot ca06:37
Burgundaviadid Andrew move it from RootSudo to RootPrivs?06:38
BurgundaviaI am confused06:38
Madpilot... so am I, now06:38
Madpilot;)06:38
Burgundaviait looks like RootSudo just got recreated06:38
Burgundaviasomebody must have moved it to RootPrivs a while back06:39
jsgotangcowhats up06:39
Burgundaviajsgotangco, we had a minor mess with RootSudo and RootPrivs06:39
MadpilotI think RootSudo was deleted, then restored by Andrew, so we may be blaming him unfairly...06:39
BurgundaviaMadpilot, this kind of stupidity lead the mediawiki devs to put page moves in the history06:39
Burgundaviaa feature that should be ported to moin06:40
Madpilotjsgotangco: see RecentChanges for the entertainment - Burgundavia and I were editing at cross-purposes for a minute there...06:40
Burgundaviaand moin does not appear to have a undelete06:40
jsgotangcowiki love :)06:40
Burgundaviathe wiki not appearing to save edits is a major issue06:41
Burgundaviaok, it does have an undelete06:43
Burgundaviait is just hidden06:43
MadpilotOK, here's an oddity...06:45
Burgundaviahmm?06:46
Madpilothow often are the Category<Whatever> pages rebuilt for addition/deletions? I thought it was instant06:46
Burgundaviaso did I06:46
Madpilotcheck out CatCleanup - WikiGuide is still there - but when you check WikiGuide, the only Category it appears in is Documentation06:47

Madpilotit wasn't deleted07:12
Madpilotit was renamed RootPrivs07:12
Burgundaviaah07:12
rob^heh07:12
Burgundaviaand who did that?07:12
=== Burgundavia readies his bat
Madpilotthen AndrewZajac2 built a NEW RootSudo, as a sort of redirect07:12
rob^this is the kind of page that needs to me moved to our controled wiki07:12
Burgundaviahmm07:13
rob^s/me/be07:13
Madpilot2005-10-23 22:51:06 Mauriciohernande -- a more general and clear name <-- looks like he renamed it07:13
Burgundaviamoving and deleting pages needs to removed from general users07:13
Burgundaviabut splitting the wikis is a bad thing, unless we move all docs07:14
rob^can't we just do a redirect?07:14
Burgundaviaan interwiki one07:15
rob^yeah07:15
Burgundaviathat gets nasty07:15
rob^sounds like a problem with moin07:16

rob^hmm operating 2 pcs, a laptop and an xbox at the same time is fun08:56
mdkesome crack going on with the wiki?08:56
rob^apprently08:57
Burgundaviamdke, both Madpilot and myself trying to fix the same issue at the same time09:05
mdkeah09:06
mdkewell the crack must have been that there was an issue in the first place right?09:06
Burgundaviayes, someone moved RootSudo09:07
Kamping_Kaisero_009:08
mdkeooh09:08
mdkei mean, oof09:08
rob^does one need a wireless access point to have a wireless network? or just network cards?09:09
Burgundaviayou can do ad-hoc with 2 wireless cards09:09
Kamping_Kaiseryou can have just cards09:09
Kamping_Kaiser2+ cards cant you?09:09
rob^so more then 2 I need an ap09:10
mdkethe guy who moved RootSudo is active on the mailing list, you can tick him off09:10
mdkehe is often in here too, nick of mhz09:10
mdkealthough yeah, the name RootPrivileges was better09:11
Burgundaviaregardless, the mover didn't put a redirect in place09:12
mdkeindeed09:12
mdkehence the ticking off needed09:12
jsgotangcohmm so mhz did something?09:14
mdkeon the italian wiki we disabled deletion and renaming09:14
mdkeexcept for admins09:14
Burgundaviamdke, sounds sane to me09:16
=== Kamping_Kaiser [n=Karl@ppp209-139.lns1.adl2.internode.on.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc
mdkeyeah well the italian wiki does not get so much editing i guess09:19
mdkeif we implemented it on the ubuntu wiki we'd need to set up a deletion/renaming request system09:20
mdkei'll talk to henrik about it09:20
jsgotangcoACLs09:21
Burgundaviathat is pretty easy, we just need a page for it09:23
mdkeyeah09:25
=== mdke goes to work
Burgundaviajsgotangco, how do you connect with people on linkedin?09:27
Burgundaviajsgotangco, do you follow the method that involves you manually entering their email addy?09:28
jsgotangcoyeah09:28
jsgotangcoits much faster to do that if you know the person09:28
Burgundaviahmm09:29
jsgotangcoi have a contact that has like 300 people on his list09:30
jsgotangcoheh09:30

Burgundaviaholy crap wikipedia has some good mappers --> http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Karte_baikal2.png09:45
Burgundaviajsgotangco, no, why not?09:45
jsgotangcowell he said on his blog he's skipping UBZ09:46
Burgundaviaya, just read that09:47
rob^grr why are my mp3s playing at twice the speed?09:48
jsgotangcolol09:48
jsgotangcobecause you;re in the future rob^ ....09:48
rob^according to the clock on the pc I'm three hours into the future too09:49
rob^wf?09:49
rob^s/wf?/wtf?09:49
rob^grr09:49
jsgotangcohaha09:51
rob^its only doing it in gnome apps09:55
mdkeBurgundavia, ping10:11
mdkei have an idea10:12
mdkelet's start brainstorming on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BetterWiki and see if we can make it into a decent spec for some wide-ranging wiki changes10:12
jsgotangcochecking...10:14
mdkejsgotangco, there  is nothing there10:15
jsgotangcoahhh ok10:15
mdkebut it is an available spec :)10:15
jsgotangcowow opera just crashed on gmail10:15
Madpilotcould that spec include things like "move the MOTU/dev/spec pages to a seperate wiki somewhere"?10:21
Madpilotdev.ubuntu.com or something10:21
rob^but doesn't that still need to be a wiki10:22
rob^so yet another wiki to maintain etc10:22
Madpilotyeah, I know, but would get the actual user docs seperated from the dev docs10:23
mdkeMadpilot, the idea was possibly to separate the user docs by moving those10:24
mdkecorey's idea at least10:24
mdkeleaving the main wiki for all those development activities10:24
Madpilotyikes... that's a way bigger and messier job than moving the dev stuff10:24
mdkeactually I'm not sure it is10:24
Madpilotno?10:25
MadpilotI'd assumed that the doc side of the current wiki was larger, but maybe not10:25
rob^is going to take a bit of work either way10:25
rob^and moving to our own wiki means we have control10:25
Madpilotthe other reason to leave the user docs where they are is that people know those URLs already10:26
mdkeMadpilot, i'm not sure, but in any case moving pages is pretty easy with moin10:26
mdkethere are a number of options for the URLs10:27
mdkeanyhow, this sort of thing is what will benefit from some brainstorming on a spec10:27
rob^just point wiki.u.c to the new wiki, and dev.w.c to the dev one10:27
rob^err that should be dev.u.c10:27
mdkerob^, part of my reasoning for moving the docs would be to have them at the same place as the static docs (help.u.c)10:27
mdkefragmented documentation is bad10:27
jsgotangcoaye10:28
rob^but won't that mean people will just start new docs on the old wiki10:28
jsgotangcono extra wikis for me10:28
rob^?10:28
rob^the idea is people can improve and contribute10:28
rob^I think all we need to do is have normal user accounts limited moreso10:28
mdkerob^, if we had a wiki at help.u.c it would not be locked down, people can improve and contribute there10:28
mdkenah, there are more problems than just that10:29
mdkeanyhow, i'll work on the spec for a while, and see if I can convince you10:29
mdkeand myself10:29
rob^I'll check it out10:29
rob^setting up moin isn't a trivial task10:29
mdkeit will be set up anyhow10:29
mdkeMadpilot, for an option with regard to the URLs, we tried moving the Italian wiki recently, see e.g. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ItalianSudo for what we did10:30
rob^and we will need ssh access to the server to properly administer it10:30
jsgotangcoerr how do you move between channels in irssi?10:30
mdkedude10:30
mdkewe have ssh access already10:30
rob^?10:30
jsgotangcoyeah10:30
rob^we do?10:30
mdkejsgotangco, alt + number or arrow key10:30
mdkerob^, how the hell do you think all our docs are there?10:30
jsgotangcowell the user at least...10:30
rob^some asked?10:31
jsgotangcomdke: ahh nice...10:31
rob^s/some/someone10:31
Madpilotmdke: yeah, I saw the Italian changes to streaming past in RecentChanges10:31
jsgotangcorob^: i have access but i don't use it10:31
mdkeMadpilot, another option would be to use "refresh"10:31
mdkealthough that isn't currently active on our wiki10:31
rob^how does one accquire access to said server?10:31
jsgotangcojust ask mdke  the account...10:31
mdkerob^, the doc.u.c and help.u.c server is admined by me and henrik10:31
jsgotangcoits just one account really...10:32
Madpilotmdke: either way, doing it that way puts an extra layer between people and resources...10:32
jsgotangcowell anyway because it was moved, its another ACL10:32
jsgotangcothe last one was with lindoe10:32
rob^is it your own server or a shared server?10:32
jsgotangcorob^: serverpronto10:32
mdkeMadpilot, only for the purposes of the old URLs, there is no extra layer once people get used to the new ones10:32
rob^ah10:32
rob^ubuntu paying for it?10:32
mdkeyes10:32
jsgotangcoyes10:32
rob^nice10:32
mdkejsgotangco, actually I didn't give you a login yet iirc10:33
mdkeyou say i did?10:33
jsgotangcomdke: no the old one i meant10:33
jsgotangconot the server pronto10:33
mdkeah10:33
jsgotangcono rush10:34
jsgotangcountil we have a use for such10:34
mdkei'll give you logins to the new one. although please don't use em for heavy backup or anything10:34
mdkewhat usernames do you want?10:34
jsgotangcoheavy backup? *shudder*10:34
rob^heh10:34
jsgotangcomdke: i'll create a chroot in no time :) joke10:35
mdkehmm10:35
rob^hmm I just realised I have an mp3 copy of the hackers movie soundtrack..10:35
mdkewell we have 100GB left10:35
rob^how did that get there?10:35
jsgotangco100GB of storage? wow10:35
rob^overkill?10:36
jsgotangcowell if they buy in bulk that's cheap10:36
rob^yeah10:36
mdkethat is just the package they offered10:36
jsgotangcomdke: we can try it for baz & bzr expermentation though10:37
jsgotangcoit won't eat up a lot of space and bandwidth10:37
mdkeguess so10:37
rob^hey would you all prefer me to just do a one page (ie short) faq guide for xubuntu instead of the ug (as per my email)?10:37
mdkeyes, if that :)10:37
jsgotangcodunno i don't use xfce..didn't like it10:38
jsgotangcoi'd rather use ion2 than that hehehe...10:38
rob^its pretty nice on older hardware, gnome like environment that doesn't slow your old pc down 10:38
jsgotangcoyeah anything gtk runs too10:39
mdkei will try it10:40
rob^well its kind of gnome like, as in it uses gtk210:40
mdkebut tbh xubuntu is not high priority10:40
rob^no, its not10:40
mdkeit is not a "partner" as jerome says10:40
mdkeand it has its own guide10:40
rob^never said it was..10:41
mdkeunless we see that the guide isn't valid, then i think we should concentrate elsewhere10:41
rob^well I was thinking of just adding ubuntu related info to it anyway10:41
jsgotangcowell imo rob^ should do as he pleases on xubuntu if he wants too...we can't pin him down to do stuff that interests him :)10:41
jsgotangcobut he's riddled with bugzilla bugs atm :)10:42
mdkesure10:42
rob^umm about 10 I think10:42
jsgotangcowow did trunk shrink?10:43
jsgotangcoits only 180MB now10:43
rob^yeah either way xubuntu will be low priority, I'd rather see the kubuntu faq guide done first10:43
jsgotangcocompared to the previous 250+10:43
mdkei think kde upstream is gone10:45
mdkeok i'm gonna do some work10:49
Burgundaviamdke, ok, will do10:52
