mhzjsgotangco: if you had to write a how-to create docs for doc-team... what would you say the only basic tags are to learn?02:57
=== mhz knows his english is crappy these days
jsgotangcobasic docbook tags?02:58
jsgotangcowell the styleguide is a good place to add those02:58
jsgotangcoand eventually the styleguide becomes a doc guide02:58
jsgotangcome and jeff schering discussed about it before02:58
LaserJockI use screen orderedlist application and filename a lot02:58
jsgotangcoorderedlist mostly02:59
=== robotgeek is copy pasting mostly
mhzhmmm03:00
jsgotangcorobotgeek, as long as its well formed and valid heh03:01
robotgeekjsgotangco: yeah, i am still editing ubuntu desktop guide :)03:02
=== mhz was thinking a good idea would be to have short 3 or 5 pages doc where readers can easily start making docs using tags in a 'way' doc-team needs. This way, after only 3 or 5 pages he's ready to start in action and slowly add more tags/style based on deeper guides
robotgeekhttp://robotgeek.no-ip.info/KubuntuDesktopGuide/ is the cheap html preview03:03
mhzexample: the following is a basic doc (considering tags) template for you to follow03:03
=== mhz opening tab
robotgeekeveryone should expect a bunch of patches tommorow :)03:06
jsgotangcoyeah that's no problem as long as *somone* replies that the patch has been applied03:07
robotgeekjsgotangco: i just sent in a email to the list regarding a patch which bur[n] er sent, basically not to apply it 03:09
jsgotangcoi tried it failed03:10
robotgeekhmm, that's weird, cause i was able to apply it with (patch -p0 < patchfile)03:10
jsgotangcowell i haven't committed anyway patch away :)03:14
robotgeekjsgotangco: i think jjesse missed 2 patches 03:14

jjesseccna is tough, i missed it by one question last time i took it04:44
jjesseSnake__: if you are looking for a cisco job get certified in telephony 04:44
=== robotgeek will probably take a Linux certification thingie soon
jsgotangcoyeah04:44
jjesseand if you are yung enough, skip the ccna ccnp and go right for the big dog04:44
Snake__jjesse: I had a cisco rep say he would refer me, and probly get in into a school because he was impressed at my knowledge lol04:44
jsgotangcotelephony is the way to go04:45
Snake__jjesse: only 16, is that young enough?04:45

Snake__?04:48

robend of march would be freeze, thats still almost 2 months away10:49
jsgotangcoi dunno its too soon but if its to plan for dapper +1 that would be too early10:50
robto plan for dapper +1 yeah, it should happen just after dapper is released10:51
robbut if the aim is to get the docs sorted for dapper itself, now would be good10:51

mdkeKagou, we don't assign specific people to sections of documents01:59
mdkeany member can work on any document, and we normally have a contact for each document01:59
Kagouokay mdke so if i have some suggestions on that part, i'll make a diff an post it on the mailing list ?!01:59
mdkeKagou, absolutely, that would be great02:00

mdkejdub, 2 things06:50
mdkejdub, first I was wondering about the status of start.ubuntu.com06:50
mdkeif it's going to happen, I won't bother worrying about improving and translating the current browser homepage06:51
jdubok, will give you status this week06:51
mdkesecond was, can you reply to my email about yelp customisations06:51
jdubhrm, can you send it again?06:51
jdubwell, maybe i'm not the right person to talk to06:51
mdkejdub, sure06:51
jdubwhat was it about?06:51
mdkeyou remember we discussing giving the css some ubuntu theming?06:52
jdubyeah06:52
=== mhz [n=mhz_chil@pc-252-84-215-201.cm.vtr.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc
mdkeit was about whether those should be done for the human theme only, or more widely06:52
jdubhrm, how do you mean?06:53
jdubwhether it should adapt to other theme colours, or...?06:53
mdkeyelp currently gets its colours from whichever theme the user is using06:53
mdkeit's not very aggressive about those, so we're just talking like text-highlighting and so on06:53
mdkea possibility would be to start including more brownness generally in the yelp css06:54
mdkethe other possibility is to get yelp to be a bit more aggressive about using theme colours in things like links, headers etc06:55
jdubyeah06:55
jdubhrm06:55
mdkejdub, anyhow, I've resent the mail06:55
jdubso changing default.css wouldn't be problematic at all06:55
jdubbut there is that weird interaction with themed colour usage06:55
mdkechanging default.css has no effect afaik06:55
mdkeit's all in the xsl templates06:55
jdubi *imagine* that gtkhtml would interpret the themed colours correctly06:56
jdubhrm06:56
jdubsec06:56
jdubyeah, okay06:56
jdubso look at yelp-common.xsl06:56
mdkeyes06:56
jdubit does shit like this:06:57
jdub{ color: </xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="$yelp.color.gray.fg"/><xsl:text>; }06:57
mdkeyes06:57
mdkethe alternatives are:06:57
jdubso that's where we'd want to get all patchy wit' it06:57
mdke{ color: #nice-ubuntu-color }06:57
mdkeor06:57
mdke{ color: blah blah yelp.color.bg }06:58
jdubor do more interesting colourisations with the theme colours...06:58
mdkeso that it uses the theme background or something06:58
jdublet's call these option A and option B06:58
mdkeok06:58
jdubrespectively ;)06:58
jduboption B definitely has a big advantage when it comes to accessibility and so on06:59
jduband for those people who are brown-challenged06:59
mdkenod06:59
mdkealso, we might be able to push something upstream, I think shaun hasn't given much love to the color scheme06:59
jdubthough unless we are very careful, the help viewer will break really badly with stupid themes06:59
mdkeyes, that might be why it is on the conservative side06:59
jdubhmm06:59
jdubi think i'd lean towards B07:00
mdkethat's what I figured07:00
jdubbit toss in some transparent pngs of the ubuntu logo07:00
jdublike the one from ubuntu-artwork's gdm theme07:00
jdubs/bit/but/07:00
mdkeooh interesting07:00
mdkeas a fixed background you mean?07:00
jdubi mean, we can certainly tart up the html independently of getting the themed colours working better07:00
jduboh, no, i more meant as a header bar or something07:01
mdkei don't know how to do that via pure css07:01
jdubthough you could have a fixed position bar at navigation bar at the top of the help browser07:01
jdubnothing's stopping us from diddling with the html :)07:02
mdkewhich html?07:02
jdubbut yeah, we could get a bunch of this done with css alone07:02
jdubthe html that the stylesheets spit out07:02
mdkehmm07:02
jdubit's not to hard to diddle with07:02
jdubtoo07:02
mdkeyeah we might be able to knock something up07:02
mdkeok07:02
mdkei gtg home07:03
mdkeI'll play around, and mail you some more07:03
jdubok07:03
jdubhappy to help with things where i can07:03
mdkethanks07:03
jduband i can point you to more useful people if required ;)07:03
mdkeok, but you're a hard man to pin down07:04
jdubi'll be a bit easier until the 14th07:04
jdubwhen i'll be travelling again07:04
jdubgoing to OSWC and FOSDEM07:04
mdkeah ok07:04
