LaserJockahh, yes. I did that over Christmas ;-)03:11
theCoreoh03:11
theCorei'm late then ;)03:11
LaserJockit's never too late03:13
theCorewhere the yelp docs are stored in ubuntu, I just can't find it out :( , ( too much repo for me )03:13
LaserJockwhat do you mean? the documentation about yelp?03:13
BurgundaviatheCore, /usr/share/docs I believe03:14
BurgundaviatheCore, look at where ubuntu-docs dumps its stuff03:14
theCoreI searched there, and I didn't found it, but will try again03:15
theCoreI will *03:15
BurgundaviatheCore, http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=kubuntu-docs&version=breezy&arch=all03:16

Burgundaviarobotgeek, thanks for the great work03:19
robotgeekBurgundavia: no issues, i am aiming for about atleast one wiki article a day03:19
Burgundaviarobotgeek, I did to. And then work caught up with me03:20

=== robotgeek is now known as robotgeek_away
LaserJockhmm, if I use the sort descriptions from packages do I need to worry about copyright/license ?03:25
BurgundaviaLaserJock, what do you mean?03:26
BurgundaviaLaserJock, oh, technically yes03:26
LaserJockI am trying to put some one-line descriptions of some packages in the packaging guide03:27
LaserJockit is convenient to use the short descriptions (what you see in synaptic)03:27
Burgundaviaone line would probably be ok03:27
LaserJockI think that the actual packaging (which the description comes from) is public domain, maybe03:28
Burgundavianot unless they have expressly released it under that license03:28
LaserJockhmm, I'll ask -devel03:29
LaserJockit is actually an intersting question03:29

robotgeekHi can someone take a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VimHowto and tell me if it's okay to bring it out of CategoryCleanup ?10:20
mdkelooks excellent, go ahead and take it out. two things: nuke the warning at the beginning and add CategoryDocumentation10:21
mdkerobotgeek, ^10:22

mdkenice work10:26
robotgeekcool, my wiki article for today is done10:26
robotgeekmdke: the other pages now may be redirected here, maybe?10:27
robotgeekmdke: the only issue is that VimSyntaxHighlighting has a spanish translation, i think10:28
mdkeif its duplicate material, sure10:32
mdkedon't worry about the translation10:32
robotgeekhmm, okay. does it handle automatically?10:33
robotgeekmdke: question, how do i setup redirects?10:35
robotgeekmaybe i don't have privileges to do that, so could someone do it for me? VimSyntaxHighlighting & DocbookVim to redirect to VimHowto10:42
robotgeekmdke: ^^ :)10:53

=== robotgeek is now known as robotgeek_away
mdkerobotgeek_away, nice. couple of points of redirects: you can just delete pages which are not prominent and might cause confusion while searching. Also, when making a redirect, nuke the whole content of the page apart from the #REDIRECT  line05:36
=== enrico [n=enrico@debian/developer/enrico] has joined #ubuntu-doc
=== robotgeek_away is now known as robotgeek
robotgeekmdke: hmm, is that because it still shows up in text search?06:14
robotgeekanother one for review, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware 06:14
robotgeekhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/ConfigureMakeMakeInstall could be merged with the above06:15
robotgeekmdke: okay, done with the redirect stuff. 06:21
robotgeekokay, i'm going to bed. Please tell me if i need to add more information, or if "CompilingSoftware" can come out of CategoryCleanup06:40
