theCoreLaserJock, they quite complete examples06:57
theCorethey are*06:58
theCoreLaserJock, have you started something ?06:58
theCore(Did you begin something?) <-- it is clearer like that ;)07:01
LaserJocktheCore: no, I worked on the outline some more. I am going to email the ubuntu-motu list to get feedback on our outline.07:01

LaserJocktheCore: are you going to work in XML?07:18
theCoreLaserJock, yes07:19
LaserJocktheCore: How about doing the Introduction?07:19
theCoreLaserJock, okay07:20
theCoreLaserJock, we start from scratch ?07:20
LaserJocktheCore: yes, I think it would be easier if we did07:24
LaserJocktheCore: you don't have to do it perfectly. Just give it a rough draft07:24
theCoreLaserJock, okay07:25
theCoreLaserJock, do we make the guide in multiple file ?07:34
theCoreLaserJock, or in a single one ?07:34

LaserJocktheCore: sorry, I was working on something else. what do you think? I would think that eventually we will need multiple files but right now it is probably easier to do just one.07:51
theCoreLaserJock, it's what i thinked07:52
rob1if you choose multiple files, use xincludes07:53
theCorerob1, i all ready use it07:55
theCore*already07:55
theCoreright now, i'm making the placeholders for the guide07:57

jjesseare we at the point that the desktopguide is set enough to copy and start changing for kubuntu?07:31
Madpilotat least in the common-tasks.xml, there are still a fair number of sections that just have "To be written." in them...07:33
jjessewell if the have to be written,then they might be distro specific?07:34
jjesseits been awhile since i looked at the desktopguide07:34
Madpilotit's fairly Gnome-specific07:35
jjesseso if those parts are gnome-specific then i can start going after them in a kde way07:39
jjessesorry for the delay that's what you get when the boss shows up :)07:40
Madpilotheh07:40
Madpilotcertainly the parts I've re-written are pure Gnome - Synaptic, Nautilus, Serpentine, etc etc...07:41
