Madpilotmdke_: "mdkeit's just a FullSearch on that word" - interesting - categories work differently than I assumed, then04:14
BurgundaviaMadpilot, they are quite simple in Moin, unlike Mediawiki which stores them as a table04:26
Madpilotyeah04:27
Madpilotcategories in Moin keep confusing me :P04:27

mhzMadpilot: what do you feel confusing about them?04:39
Madpilotmhz: I assumed that categories only listed pages that had been explicitly added to that category - but if it's just a tweaked full search display, obviously they behave differently04:41
mhzo04:42
=== mhz thinking
Burgundaviain mediawiki you can link to a category without joining it04:43
mhzMadpilot: i dont quite understand you, sorry.04:44
Burgundaviamhz, I think madpilot assumed that the adding category dropbox did somethign special04:44
Madpilotmhz: I noticed that my own user page is listed in CatCleanup - and according to mdke_ it's because I have a link to CatCleanup in my page04:44
MadpilotBurgundavia: yes, I did04:45
mhzoooooh04:45
mhznow I see04:45
BurgundaviaI didn't even find the drop box until last week04:45
BurgundaviaI always manually type out out the category04:45
mhzme too04:46
MadpilotI actually use the tools that're provided :P04:47
mhzMadpilot: what's on your mind? what would you like to do?04:47
MadpilotI was just confused about how Categories in Moin actually worked, that's all04:47
mhz.oO(there are plenty of macros available to ease and help the mind)04:47
MadpilotI was surprised to see my own homepage showing up in Cleanup, mostly...04:48
mhzok04:48
Madpilotyeah, I've been reading the macro page in the help section, there's some interesting stuff there04:48
BurgundaviaMoin has some powerful features, it just exposes them terribly04:49
Burgundaviait is very much "by developers, for developers"04:49
mhzhehehehe04:50
mhzunfortunately yes04:50
Madpilot...like no automatic linking from a subject page to it's talk/discussion page... (a la MediaWiki)04:50
Burgundaviawhich makes it wrong for us04:50
mhzActually, I started a 'marketing approach' for them a year ago... I was the only one interested on that and another guy, once in a blue moon04:51
mhzMadpilot: there are no /talk pages in Moin04:51
mhzwe always discuss at the bottom of a page04:52
mhz(a la Moin wiki) :D04:52
Burgundaviamhz, that is not good for a presentation doc04:52
Burgundaviaala an encyclopedia article or a help page04:52
mhzBurgundavia: yup, no good04:52
Madpilotmhz: a number of pages do nevertheless have /talk pages, but finding them is a crapshoot04:53
Burgundaviaif it isn't exposed in the interface, it basically doesn't exist for 95% of users04:54
mhzMadpilot: yup04:54
mhzthat's why I (in my wiki domains) always use ...Templates04:55
mhzsome Templates have a different look and feel, others have Macros, other 'includes' etc04:55
mhzActually, 2 years ago I was using Moin for: Biz quotes, AddressBook, Calendar, ToDo, CMS, PictureGallery, Blog, etc04:56
Burgundaviait is nice that moin supports taht, but the chances of us actually getting that stuff on our moin wiki are basically nil04:57
mhzsome customers were subscribed to Product Catalogues (moin made) and were happy they got email notifications for updtes04:57
mhzBurgundavia: yup, I know04:57
mhzwhen I first got to Ubuntu project (booooofff long ago) I thought, "ok, we have to teach people to take advantage of Moin features..."04:58
mhzNow, I have realized that is almost impossible to effectively do that04:58
mhzas MANY just edit04:58
mhznot using Categories, Templates, etc04:59
jsgotangcoyep04:59
jsgotangco:)04:59
jsgotangcosocial :)04:59
jsgotangcotechnology won't solve that04:59
jsgotangcounless you spearhead a wiki school i guess05:00
Burgundaviamhz, I don't care to figure out how to use those features. But if you show me ready to use things I will happily use them05:00
MadpilotBurgundavia: like you used the Category dropdown? :P05:00
BurgundaviaMadpilot, it can only do cat at a time and too be honest most docs need to hti clenaup as well05:00
mhzjsgotangco: yes, I know I once offered to do a moin-school but have had 2nd thoughts because I feel it's more social stuff, very difficult to stop it. Now, I'd be happy to reconsider a moin-school esp. for people like Burgundavia 05:02
mhzand Madpilot 05:02
Burgundaviamhz, I don't want a school. I want a page showing me pre built things i can copy and paste05:03
mhzand all these guys who want to 05:03
jsgotangcobwahaha05:03
mhzLOL05:03
Madpilotthere's a few tricks like that on the WikiGuide page - I threw the right-float ToC code on there, for example05:04
mhzyup05:05
mhzindeed05:05
mhzBurgundavia: SyntaxReference ?05:05
Madpilothttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyntaxReference <-- now *that* is useful - thanks, mhz - adding to WikiGuide now too!05:08
mhzBurgundavia: Madpilot: this is one the simplest and yet great examples of editing to imporve user reading05:09
mhzhttp://druidwiki.org/05:09
mhz(from Moin POV, of course)05:09
mhzMadpilot: yw, I think there are few more... but geee! there are so many system pages that I never remember05:09
Burgundaviamhz, my god, how did they get that two column?05:10
mhzsimply05:10
mhzhtml table05:10
Burgundaviaother than that, it still falls down05:10
mhzfalls down?05:10
Burgundaviathe top is still an ugly mess05:10
mhzsyninim please? :D05:10
Burgundaviathere is no side bar05:11
mhzoohhh05:11
mhzBurgundavia: if you have ideas and want them to be 'rendered' by Moin, send me an email and I can try 05:12
mhzto use Moin tricks05:12
BurgundaviaI want a sidebar on all pages, ala the mediawiki one05:12
Burgundaviamhz, how do you turn off the breadcrumbs? Is that simple?05:13
Madpilotisn't there a "show breadcrumbs" option on the User Prefs page?05:14
mhzBurgundavia: well, we can have a 'section bar', something Nir Soffer did for Moin, and we could 'force' ( jsgotangco dont kick me) default NewPage to use that Template05:14
Burgundaviamhz, can somebody remove that?05:14
=== mhz has no idea what 'breadcrumbs' are
mhzplease remember my english knowledge is limited05:15
Burgundaviathe top line of pages05:15
Burgundaviablahpage >> blahpage >> blahpage05:15
Burgundaviathat usually have nothing to do with where you are or have gone05:15
mhzahhh, yes we can have None05:15
mhzBurgundavia: all we use in Moin is CSS05:15
mhzand .py05:16
mhzso we can turn on/off whatever05:16
mhzand usually those 'tabs' (we call them)05:16
mhzare determined by the Moin admin05:16
Burgundaviacan you ping Hendrik and ask him to turn them off?05:16
mhzhno73 ?05:17
Burgundaviayep05:17
MadpilotBurgundavia: go to your User Prefs page, untick the "show page trail" box - no more breadcrumbs for you05:18
BurgundaviaMadpilot, I don't care about user prefs. I want good defaults05:18
mhzMadpilot: ahhh, those were the 'breadcrumbs' ???05:19
mhzthe Page Trails!05:19
=== mhz thought there were the Tabs
Madpilotyeah - just turned mine off then on again; page trail = breadcrumbs05:20
mhzMadpilot: visit www.tecnocimiento.cl05:21
mhzI dont have the 'Edit or Show...' links05:21
mhzjust tabs05:22
Burgundaviamhz, nor does ubuntu.com05:22

Burgundaviawe do public computers, so there is no compelling reason to use FF05:24
Burgundaviamultihead Linux, primarily for use in public computing environments, such as a library05:24
Kyralah05:25
mhzBurgundavia: nice!05:25
KyralI'm just an idiot college student :P05:25
mhzTecnocimiento is being forced to register as NGO because all projects we are trying here in Chile, they all have the 'feeling' of non-for-profit, and so people just dont believe in us because we are not NGO, just 'volunteers'05:26
Burgundaviamhz, mein gott, your site actually looks half decent. My hats off to you05:26
Burgundaviasadly you are still stuck with CamelCase05:26

mdkei wrote a much shortened start page based on about-ubuntu, playing with the idea of uploading it instead of the current one, but there might not be a lot of point, if start.ubuntu.com is going to happen09:06

jsgotangcothat xchat-gnome is hideous09:36

Burgundavia#xchat-gnome on this network09:37
jsgotangcoBurgundavia, i just used it today09:37

jsgotangcois it an official gnome project?09:37

mptIt's in the default install?09:50
Burgundaviayes09:50
mptbut Gaim already does IRC09:50
Burgundaviabut shitily09:50
Burgundaviawe have had xchat in there for a since warty09:50
mptso xchat-gnome is hideous, but less hideous than Gaim?09:51
Burgundavia-gnome is not really what you would call mature UI wise09:51
Burgundaviait is a fork of xchat, so the underlying bits are sane09:51
=== mpt wonders what happened to gnome-chat
Burgundaviadead, as of 2 years ago09:52

Madpilotwhitespace != wasted space :P10:02

jjessegrin i found it on RecentChanges04:13
jjessemgalvin: you need Kubuntu Screen shots on it as well :)04:13

jjessejsgotangco: have you had any time to work on kubuntu docs?04:15
jsgotangcojjesse, yeah, just finishing up my contract with my employer till next month04:15
mgalvinah, well, i don't mind putting some kubuntu screenshots on it, please feel free to add a section for it if you like (or just send me some screenshots)04:16
jsgotangcojjesse, feb i would be relatively free by that time04:16
jsgotangco(we're moving too btw)04:16
jjessejsgotangco: cool04:16
jjessegood luck w/ the move04:16
mgalvinjjesse: although, if there is enough to cover, just create a KubuntuDapperFlight3 page and use DapperFlight3 as a template for it04:18
jsgotangcoyeah04:21
jsgotangcothe obvious big changes we'll have to put in are probably hmmm katapult as default04:21
jsgotangcoi haven't seen that much big changes on it unless riddell will upload what he has been blogging lately04:21
jjessejsgotangco: the releasenotes in svn are current for dapper04:25
jjessei work w/ Riddell all the time to keep them current04:25
jsgotangcoi got an updated svn04:26
jsgotangcoi still check every now and then04:26
jsgotangcoto be honest the more i use SuSE every now and then, the more I begin to see Kubuntu's weaknesses04:28
mgalvinjjesse: i04:31
jjesseyes mgalvin 04:31

LaserJockmdke: -devel reminds me, will I get an email from elmo for svn access?08:08
mdkegood point08:08
mdkeLaserJock, yes, when its done08:09
LaserJockoh, ok. I didn't know if it was an email thing or maybe a LP thing or what08:10
mdkehe'll mail you user/pass08:12
mdkeencrypted08:12
LaserJockahh, I see08:13
Burgworkmdke, I have asked for permissions to the main website08:19
BurgworkI'd like to start a dialog about fixing up the main website as well08:19
Burgworkmostly the main page08:19
LaserJockBurgwork: is that within the doc-team's realm?08:36
mdkeBurgwork, make sure you talk first, act afterwards08:37
mdkeLaserJock, no08:39
Burgworkmdke, nah, I like shooting from the hip ;)08:41
BurgworkLaserJock, the main website is sort of marketing, really08:42
LaserJockoh, I just wondered who was responsible for it08:43
mdkeLaserJock, the canonical people who do marketing, and henrik, the webmaster08:43
mdkeBurgwork, i know, that's why i said it ;)08:44
Burgworkmdke, it only looks that way08:50
BurgworkLaserJock, but we currently have no community marketing team08:50
mdkeunsurprisingly08:51
mdkemarketing should be for those who do it for a living, imo08:51
mdkeat least the decision making08:51
LaserJocktrue08:51

Burgworkmdke, no, you can have a successful community marketing team, you just need a strong central voice08:53
mdkeas I said, "at least the decision making"08:54
Burgworkhence the DIYMarketing page08:54
Burgworkwe need more of that08:54

mgalvinBurgwork: hey i can understand moding the splash section... but can i ask why u removed the intro segue?10:10
mgalvinadditionally, i'm not done yet, when its done i will send and email to the list stating that it is ready for review and such10:13
=== hawking [n=hawking@81.214.221.189] has joined #ubuntu-doc
Burgworkmgalvin, sorry, my overzealous red pen10:22
mgalvin:), no worries, was just wondering if there was some specific reason10:23
Burgworkmgalvin, oh and Kamion said he loved your work10:24
mgalvinBurgwork: i added back the intro segue with "I" since i feel in this case it adds a personal touch and provokes reader enthusiasm, but left your other change (i should not put my personal views there )10:26
mgalvincool, glad to hear people like it :)10:26
Burgworkmgalvin, ok, sounds good10:26
Burgworkmgalvin, Kamion = Colin Watson = number 2 on the distro team10:26
mgalvini know who he is :) i worked with him on DapperFlight2 also10:27
Burgworkok10:27
mgalvinBurgwork: about LiveCDPersistence... I would like to create a wiki page that describes dappers live cd persistance... do you think moding this page is best or should I create the seperate DapperLiveCDPersistence page?10:30
mgalvin(asking you since it says you were the last person to touch it)10:30
Burgworkmgalvin, create a general page, not specific to dapper10:31
Burgworktry and avoid $releasenname in the name unless the target audience is  Ubuntu developers10:32
mgalvinok, do you think it would be best to overwrite/replace LiveCDPersistence or add  two sections (since it already has hoary content)?10:32
mgalvinmeaning replace it with the new dapper way of doing it10:33
Burgworkmgalvin, add a new section of Ubuntu 6.0410:33
Burgworkactually, no overwrite the hoary stuff10:33
Burgworkit is only alive cd10:33
mgalvinyea, we could always recover the old hoary stuff if someone complains10:33
Burgworkif it was discussing something on an installed system I would go for the first option10:34
mgalvinok, this page is just and old way of getting persistance... it should not be needed any more10:36
