[10:13] of course [10:13] i thought it wasn't before :/ [10:13] the kubuntu docs are in the same format as the ubuntu ones [10:14] xml-wise [10:14] yeah [10:14] there is no problem with translating them in the same way [10:14] ok then, we'd love that [10:14] how does it go when i update the doc?

[09:01] section right under the title [09:01] Welcome to Kubunt &distro-re; : the &kdistor-version; [09:01] i mean, from where is it importing entities. We can check those files [09:02] you see em at the top [09:02] i've checked global.ent, its not there [09:02] kde.ent? [09:02] ../../libs/kde.ent [09:03] found it [09:04] cool [09:04] trunk/kubuntu/libs/kde.ent [09:04] hmm forum tab on the website? === mdke disagrees === mdke reads thread [09:05] i'm updating about kubuntu right now so you can then release the translations [09:06] mdke: my idea [09:06] you don't get unless you ask [09:06] Bonzodog, problem is that the forum is one of 3 or 4 help resources, we don't have space to give each of them one tab [09:06] even I didn't know where that one was going to come out [09:06] i like what henrik has done tho [09:07] the forum isn't just about help in my opinion [09:07] it's about community [09:07] Bonzodog, the forum staff continuously say that it is a helpdesk [09:07] it is fast becoming a core of the community [09:07] it's primary cause is a helpdesk of sorts [09:07] true, but then again, some of the other help resources are too [09:07] like irc, and mailing lists [09:08] and the wiki, etc [09:08] the mailing lists are beyond an awful lot of people [09:08] Bonzodog, each resource has pros and cons [09:08] I'm talking about easy simple communication [09:08] for absolute newbies [09:08] no disagreement [09:08] they understand the forums [09:09] but that doesn't mean the other resources are less significant [09:09] part of me gets frustrated every time the wiki is given less and less importance, document storage, forums, etc [09:09] why work on the wiki [09:09] jesse: the wiki is often referred to as a secondary resource [09:09] jjesse, forums are good for asking questions and getting answers from people [09:09] the same as udsf is [09:09] documentation has a different feel [09:10] i can honestly say that i have used the forums maybe once or twice, everything else i have found on the wiki [09:10] jjesse, that's because you prefer to read first, rather than ask first [09:10] jjesse: but the forums are also the place for users to meet other users [09:10] that's the reason both are equally important [09:11] Bonzodog, you can just remove that agenda item btw [09:11] not all new users undrestand IRC and quite a few don't trust IRC [09:11] I did [09:11] thats why i asked about strike out [09:11] Bonzodog, just delete it? [09:11] and let's not focus on criticising other resources [09:11] let's focus on the pros [09:11] well, some CC members have already read it [09:12] so I thought it useful to point out that it had been erased === ealden_ [n=ealden@ipdial-189-78.tri-isys.com] has joined #ubuntu-doc [09:12] they can read the diff if they care. But if its resolved, they won't care === bustacap [n=bustacap@203-206-46-153.dyn.iinet.net.au] has joined #ubuntu-doc [09:17] hey folks. [09:17] hello [09:17] I'm new here, but want to contribute. [09:17] hello lloydinho [09:18] Been looking at the various pages on how to contribute, and I'm certainly not very well versed with SVN or DocBook or anything like that [09:19] lloydinho, are you comfortable editing HTML? [09:19] yeah. Reasonably so. [09:19] lloydinho: you also just proofread and send changes to the mailing list [09:20] well that's all you need, the DocBook format is XML, like HTML - it's just as intuitive [09:20] okay. [09:20] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Repository [09:20] I still have that page open when I work on the docs.. [09:20] it's pretty good.. [09:21] yeah, I've looked through most of that.. [09:21] it makes good enough sense, I guess - and I'll have to get used to it. [09:21] does it still look fairly daunting? [09:21] lloydinho: you could also just read the docs that are published on doc.ubuntu.com (these are the ones going into the next release) and submit changes to the mailing list [09:21] Okay, but I was just wondering about where to start [09:21] the docs on doc.ubuntu.com are the ones that you will download off SVN [09:22] pick a topic that you feel you are knowledge about and review them [09:22] yes, I've downloaded all of that stuff into SVN, already. [09:22] well, start with the wiki page by downloading the SVN [09:22] ok.. [09:22] Okay. [09:22] now read through doc.ubuntu.com and pick something you have some knowledge in [09:22] will do.. [09:22] I am sure the Server Starter Guide and the Kubuntu guys could do with some help [09:23] kubuntu always needs love :) [09:23] the Ubuntu Starter Guide has most of it's content [09:23] :) [09:24] heh. unfortunately, I know very little about kubuntu.. most of my skills are in actual proof reading and presentation... [09:24] lloydinho, also get yourself onto the doc team mailing list if you haven't already.. lists.ubuntu.com [09:24] proof reading is what we need typos and stuff like that [09:24] yeah, go through the Kubuntu guide.. [09:24] I'll try that then.. [09:25] the key is lloydinho is to recognise that there are certain ways of formatting things as well.. [09:25] yes, I saw the style guide.. [09:25] for instance, instead of - click "OK" - it should be - click OK [09:25] yeah, it goes a little deeper than that.. [09:25] I'll try to get a feel for that as well. [09:26] I have found that some sections have been written really well, using all the right tags, and others haven't.. [09:26] you should be able to find one section that is sporting all the tags and use it as a reference, you'll get the hang of it pretty quickly [09:26] sounds good. [09:26] and you get your name on the Credits ;) [09:26] heh ;-) [09:27] I'll try and play around with it for a bit. [09:27] It's just slightly daunting when you don't know who's working on what, and if you're doing the same work as somebody else. [09:28] I guess it's just a matter of getting used to working like that.. [09:36] lloydinho, we'll help you along [09:36] mdke - thanks :) [09:51] morning mdke [09:53] hi bustacap [09:53] I'm on holidays after this meeting :D [09:53] i can imagine [09:53] haha :) [09:54] don't forget to relax by hacking up the desktopguide :) [09:54] Just having a week off work, might do the same thing with the doc stuff [09:54] hehe :) [09:54] well I was going to hack the wiki offline on the plane [09:54] I am preparing for a proposal to give it a good restructuring.. [09:55] meeting in 5 mins....mdke [09:55] you joining us? [09:55] i may not be around for long I'm afraid [09:55] bustacap, you know that we're moving the wiki documentation right? [09:56] yeah, what's the timing on that? [09:57] not sure, depends on a number of things [09:57] we need some coding from someone, and to sort the hosting out [09:57] but hopefully by dapper [09:58] sure, that's fine, I hope to get my work in prior to the move.. [09:58] okey [09:58] I will make the proposal public before I do too much work.. [09:58] ok, I'm going to start the meeting off.. === mgalvin [n=mgalvin@ubuntu/member/mgalvin] has joined #ubuntu-doc === mpt [n=mpt@210-246-37-30.paradise.net.nz] has joined #ubuntu-doc [10:49] ok, who knows how to use sed?

[11:08] I need something added to that which will sed through the content of ${y}/mk and replace every instance of "C" (capital C) with "${y}" [11:10] I'll have a look at it and send you a mail..
