SpittyI was wondering what the proceedure is for adding to the "HardwareSupportMachinesLaptopsCompaq" wiki page is?  I've read the wikiguide and the styleguide... so, could I just go in add add an entry for my laptop?12:05
BurgundaviaSpitty, yep12:09
Spittyok, thanks12:09
BurgundaviaSpitty, in generally, just edit the wiki. If you make a mistake, somebody will generally clean it up12:11
Spittyok, great12:11
Spittythis is probably a silly question, but is there a different syntax on the ubuntu wiki for the username than the launchpad username?12:12
Burgundavianope12:14
Burgundaviaah, wait, yes12:14
Burgundaviathe lp username is usually not the wiki username12:14
SpittyI ask because i just created a lp username, and i can log in to lp just fine- i can even mange my username for the ubuntu wiki, but hen i go to actually log in to the ubuntu wiki, i get a "wrong password" error12:16
Burgundaviatry logging in with your email addy12:17
Spittyah ha! that worked12:17

poningruguys I had a question why are we still putting cli answers in documentation?05:43
poningruwe should be able to give all gui answers05:43
LaserJockponingru: do you think we are able to do that?05:52
poningruwell I am not saying for everything05:52
poningrubut for things where that is availble05:53
poningrufor example howto install something05:53
poningruwe tell them apt-get install blahblah05:53
poningruinstead of telling them go to system->admin->synaptic05:53
poningrusearch for blahblah05:53
poningruand install blahblah05:53

LaserJockhmm, were do you see that?05:53
LaserJockponingru: I mean are you talking about Breezy documentation or the current Dapper stuff?05:56
poningrubreezy05:57
=== poningru hasnt even looked at dapper stuff
LaserJockponingru: the latest stuff should be at doc.ubuntu.com if it is up05:59
LaserJockI think the general idea is to use gui answers where possible but I'm not very knowledgeble person around here to answer your question06:00

jjessefor kubuntu?06:55
jjessethey are currently accurate and i'm seeing some questions on what will all be in dapper and thought we could start pointing people there?06:55
mdkejjesse, just need to make sure they build in the "make web" target and in the right hand menu (edit teamstuff/doc.ubuntu.com/sidebar)07:03
jjessemdke: ok i can look into it07:03

Burgworkmgalvin, how did you create those menu shots?07:41
mgalvinBurgwork: i took a full screen shot, selected out the menu, pasted it into a new window, re-select (in the new window) "just the menu and the panel" then... script fu shadow07:43
Burgworkmgalvin, ah, I see07:45
mgalvini found it helps to set your desktop background color to white before you take the screen shots so it is easier to select what you want07:45
=== Burgwork appoints mgalvin to take all screenshots int he future
mgalvin:)07:45
=== mgalvin accepts appointment :)
