| Burgundavia | kevogod, dapper has not yet even opened | 08:22 |
| kevogod | breezy-backports does not exist | 08:22 |
| Burgundavia | yes, but that is a temporary thing | 08:22 |

| ajmitch | Burgundavia: what are the plans with svn & bzr? | 08:23 |
| Burgundavia | ajmitch, no idea | 08:23 |
| Burgundavia | we have talked about it | 08:23 |
| ajmitch | I found this & felt like trying to port it to bzr - http://www.dur.ac.uk/j.r.c.geldart/projects/barter/screenshots.html | 08:23 |

| rob^ | hello | 08:33 |
| rob^ | kevogod, no they are not yet, but will be eventually. When we write the doc we need to take everything into account, and after a certain date (string freeze) we cannot add/change the docs so it was a case of either include it now or never | 08:35 |
| rob^ | and seeing as backports are an official project, and it is a faq when backports are available | 08:36 |
| rob^ | and it does no harm really to include it when they are not :) | 08:37 |
| kevogod | They receive an error message. | 08:37 |
| kevogod | And it does not work. | 08:37 |
| rob^ | yep | 08:38 |
| rob^ | no harm though | 08:38 |
| kevogod | To the computer, no. | 08:38 |
| === highvoltage [n=Jono@196.36.161.235] has joined #ubuntu-doc | ||

| rob^ | before the review there was a note there about the issue. it was removed during review | 08:38 |
| Burgundavia | oops | 08:39 |
| rob^ | iirc | 08:39 |
| Burgundavia | we should probably have a comment abut that for dapper | 08:39 |
| rob^ | yeah | 08:39 |
| rob^ | bbl baby needs feeding | 08:39 |
| kevogod | What is the schedule for backports, anyway? | 08:39 |
| Burgundavia | kevogod, no idea, we are the wrong people to ask | 08:39 |

| === Seveas [n=seveas@seveas.demon.nl] has joined #ubuntu-doc | ||
| mdke | kevogod, it is not an error with the doc, it is an error with the backports, the archive should have been created | 08:53 |
| kevogod | They go hand in hand, IMHO. | 08:54 |
| mdke | no, it is a bug with backports | 08:55 |
| mdke | we can't represent all bugs in our documentation | 08:55 |
| kevogod | It is not necessarily an error in theory in the document. | 08:55 |
| mdke | there are plenty of errors in that document, but this is NOT one of them | 08:55 |
| mdke | the backports archive should be created, especially because it is commented in the default sources.list | 08:55 |
| kevogod | Should've, could've, would've. The user does not care. | 08:56 |
| mdke | ok so go pester the backports people, there is nothing wrong with the doc | 08:57 |
| mdke | there are thousands of bugs around, we can't predict them | 09:00 |
| kevogod | As a whole, it is a good document. Thanks. | 09:01 |

| rob^ | mdke you still around? | 11:55 |
| mdke | yeah | 11:56 |
| rob^ | just regarding the userguide, have you looked at the xfce userguide at all? (the way they do it) | 11:56 |
| rob^ | basically the userguide is a simple overview and a few other things, the sections are written by others | 11:57 |
| rob^ | there is a "user guide" and "manuals" | 11:57 |
| rob^ | http://www.loculus.nl/xfce/documentation/docs-4.2/ | 11:57 |
| mdke | i'll look | 11:57 |
| mdke | ok, but they don't have a StarterGuide | 11:58 |
| mdke | for us, I see overlap as a MAJOR issue | 11:58 |
| rob^ | it is | 11:58 |
| mdke | hence my suggestion 3 | 11:58 |
| rob^ | see my comment on UserGuide | 11:58 |
| mdke | ok so you would faviour my suggestion 1 | 11:59 |
| rob^ | if we choose to keep the userguide (just say), the way xfce do it would be easier to do then trying to write one massive document | 11:59 |
| mdke | i think that is gonna be pretty hard | 11:59 |
| rob^ | I can't say suggestion 1 as I'm not the one contributing to it | 12:00 |
| mdke | sure | 12:00 |
| rob^ | from where I sit suggestion three would be better | 12:00 |
| mdke | my problem with suggestion 1 is not the contribution, it's the theoretical difficulty of finding a dividing line and applying it | 12:00 |
| mdke | the userguide and starterguide would have to continuous interlink | 12:00 |
| rob^ | it would be easier to scrap the user guide and make the faq guide the userguide (with much work) | 12:01 |
| mdke | well, now you're getting into semantics ;) | 12:01 |
| mdke | that is still suggestion 3 :) | 12:02 |
| rob^ | i just made the other suggestion as I'm sure there will be people who are in love with the userguide but dont contribute :P | 12:02 |
| mdke | heh | 12:02 |
| rob^ | ok, well I'm happy with nr 3 | 12:03 |
| mdke | looks like jerome is too | 12:04 |
| rob^ | well thats all three of us ;) | 12:05 |
| mdke | btw rob^ there is a thread on the forum about Unofficial versus Official guide | 12:05 |
| rob^ | oh | 12:05 |

| rob^ | hi Belutz | 12:31 |
| rob^ | whats the problem your having? | 12:31 |
| Belutz | when i'm translating the faqguide, should i presume that the user is using ubuntu in my language, or presume that the user is using ubuntu in english? because the menu names is different | 12:32 |
| rob^ | off the top of my head I'd say your language, mdke? | 12:32 |
| mdke | me too | 12:33 |
| Belutz | ok then | 12:35 |
| Belutz | :) | 12:35 |
| Belutz | are there anything i could do for the doc team, instead just translating it? | 12:35 |
| rob^ | there is always the wiki | 12:38 |
| rob^ | we are always needing help there! | 12:38 |
| Belutz | ok :) | 12:39 |
| rob^ | if your into xml/docbook at all you can also check out our subversion repository | 12:39 |
| Belutz | may i ask about the rosetta in here? | 12:39 |
| mdke | in #launchpad | 12:39 |
| mdke | for docteam contributions, check out doc.ubuntu.com | 12:40 |
| Belutz | well, i've been thinking to make a book of ubuntu in my language | 12:40 |
| mdke | cool | 12:46 |
| mdke | but it is even cooler if you help on the English docs, so they can be made available in all languages! | 12:46 |
| Belutz | yes, i will help too, i'll be learning about the docbook | 12:47 |

| mdke | agreed | 06:24 |
| mdke | we need that merge | 06:26 |
| === jsgotangco is not qualified to do such | ||

| linuxboy | I have a bunch of ubuntu pcs at work, which I manage. I use things like 'dsh' to do so. Is there a wiki page/doc all about managing muliple ubuntu pcs in a office situation? | 09:58 |
| linuxboy | hes not here | 09:58 |
| mdke | linuxboy, the best you can do is to use the search | 09:58 |
| mdke | edubuntu uses ltsp, that's not what you want right? | 09:58 |
| linuxboy | mdke: what do i search for? | 09:58 |
| linuxboy | mdke: no | 09:58 |
| linuxboy | spayne: he work with highvoltage ? | 09:58 |
| spayne | linuxboy: not sure but i know ogra is the main man for edubuntu | 09:59 |
| mdke | they work on related projects | 09:59 |
| linuxboy | spayne: but its not edubuntu | 10:00 |
| linuxboy | its a bunch of normal ubuntu pcs | 10:00 |
| linuxboy | but I want this doc to have tips like "dsh" | 10:00 |
| linuxboy | if it doesn't exist, I'll start it | 10:00 |
| spayne | linuxboy: go for it! | 10:01 |
| linuxboy | spayne: any ideas for a name? | 10:01 |

| mdke | linuxboy, anything you like | 10:03 |
| linuxboy | well... | 10:03 |
| linuxboy | UbuntuOfficeEnvrionment is too specific | 10:03 |
| linuxboy | and ManagingMultipleUbuntuPCs is too long | 10:03 |
| mdke | cut the "ubuntu" | 10:03 |
| spayne | linuxboy: how about ManagingMultiplePCs | 10:03 |
| spayne | mdke: :) | 10:03 |
| linuxboy | cool | 10:03 |
| mdke | linuxboy, check out the page WikiGuide for help on editing and rules for guides | 10:03 |
| spayne | mdke: Wiki people like me and mdke will check it out | 10:04 |
| spayne | whoops! | 10:04 |
| spayne | that was meant for linuxboy | 10:04 |
| linuxboy | heh | 10:05 |
| linuxboy | what wiki does ubuntu use? | 10:05 |
| linuxboy | well | 10:06 |
| mdke | moinmoin | 10:06 |
| linuxboy | ok | 10:06 |
| linuxboy | never used that | 10:06 |
| mdke | :) | 10:06 |
| linuxboy | I've used mediawiki | 10:06 |
| mdke | this is quite simple too | 10:07 |
| mdke | that guide page should help a bit | 10:07 |
| linuxboy | cool | 10:07 |
| mdke | and point you towards more comprehensive docs if you need em | 10:07 |
| linuxboy | now, have I created an account? | 10:07 |
| mdke | :) | 10:07 |
| linuxboy | I'm not sure | 10:07 |

| linuxboy | didn't see you there | 10:11 |

| linuxboy | so, I've now got my password | 10:12 |
| highvoltage | oh. here. | 10:12 |
| linuxboy | whats my username? | 10:12 |
| highvoltage | your e-mail address, i think | 10:12 |
| linuxboy | ah | 10:12 |
| linuxboy | that would make sense | 10:12 |
| linuxboy | how the heck do I create a new page? | 10:14 |
| linuxboy | visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ManagingMultiplePCs?action=edit | 10:14 |
| linuxboy | I assume? | 10:14 |
| highvoltage | type https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ThisIsNewPage in URL | 10:14 |
| highvoltage | yep | 10:15 |
| linuxboy | then? | 10:15 |
| linuxboy | wheres the edit button like mediawiki? | 10:15 |
| highvoltage | you click on "Create new empty page" | 10:15 |
| linuxboy | You are not allowed to edit this page. | 10:16 |
| highvoltage | what i do with moinmoin, is go to my UserPreferences, | 10:16 |
| highvoltage | and choose the option that double-click means edit. | 10:16 |
| highvoltage | then i just double-click on the pages to edit them. | 10:16 |
| linuxboy | where is UserPreferences ? | 10:17 |
| highvoltage | i have edubuntu skin... let me just switch... | 10:17 |

| mpt | MoinMoin's login process is a bit poor | 10:21 |
| mpt | you have to log in, then click Back twice, then click Reload | 10:21 |
| mdke | yeah that blows | 10:23 |
| linuxboy | heh | 10:23 |
| mdke | not like launchpad :) | 10:23 |
| linuxboy | I don't like moinmoni | 10:23 |
| linuxboy | moinmoin | 10:23 |
| mdke | i do :) | 10:23 |
| highvoltage | moinmoin is okay, but it takes getting used to. | 10:23 |
| mdke | give it a chance | 10:23 |
| highvoltage | people tend to have difficulty going from moinmoin to mediawiki or vice versa. | 10:24 |
