[02:58] well the styleguide is a good place to add those [02:58] and eventually the styleguide becomes a doc guide [02:58] me and jeff schering discussed about it before [02:58] I use screen orderedlist application and filename a lot [02:59] orderedlist mostly === robotgeek is copy pasting mostly [03:00] hmmm [03:01] robotgeek, as long as its well formed and valid heh [03:02] jsgotangco: yeah, i am still editing ubuntu desktop guide :) === 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.

[10:49] not to mention we're almost on freeze during that time [10:49] it should be sooner [10:49] heh [10:49] end of march would be freeze, thats still almost 2 months away [10:50] i dunno its too soon but if its to plan for dapper +1 that would be too early [10:51] to plan for dapper +1 yeah, it should happen just after dapper is released [10:51] but if the aim is to get the docs sorted for dapper itself, now would be good [10:52] still a little bit of time left, although I'm picturing a week long sprint [10:52] you interested?

[01:19] mdke, no [01:19] do you think it's a good idea? [01:19] I can post here if you like, and get it stickied [01:19] http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=45 [01:20] i'm not a good follower of forums. if you think it would add value, please go ahead [01:21] ok, but you have to subscribe :) [01:21] that way you'll see the feedback and can implement some suggestions, if there are good ones [01:21] sure i will === mdke looks for the "post new thread" button === lambert [n=todd@c-24-125-47-253.hsd1.va.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc [01:27] bhuvan, done [01:27] mdke, ok [01:27] i have registered myself to forums [01:27] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=127112 [01:27] cool [01:28] cool [01:28] mdke, how is it difficult to hack up our make script to accomodate 2 edubuntu docs? [01:29] jsgotangco, is this to put them on the website? [01:29] if so, easy [01:29] yeah [01:29] for previews/peer review, etc. [01:29] if they were hosted in svn [01:30] yeah it is [01:30] i'm going to clean up the edubuntu folder and retain what's only needed [01:31] okay good [01:31] i'll do the makefile once you've done that [01:32] thanks =) === lloydinho [n=andreas@rosinante.egmont-kol.dk] has joined #ubuntu-doc === Kagou [n=Kagou@84.4.198.25] has joined #ubuntu-doc [01:56] hi [01:57] hello [01:58] i can't find who is working on each part of the documentation. An example : who's working on cups part of the server guide [01:59] Kagou, we don't assign specific people to sections of documents [01:59] any member can work on any document, and we normally have a contact for each document [01:59] okay mdke so if i have some suggestions on that part, i'll make a diff an post it on the mailing list ?! [02:00] Kagou, absolutely, that would be great [02:00] Kagou, you are familiar with the source code we use? [02:00] you mean docbook ?! [02:00] yes [02:00] not so but that's not a BIG problem [02:01] cool [02:01] if you prefer, you can send in suggestions and we can convert them to docbook [02:01] don't diff the html version [02:02] suggestions in plain text ?! [02:02] if you prefer that to docbook, sure [02:03] ok. thnx mdke. I'll have a look at the doc and try to do some suggestions. The only BIG problem is my english :p (i'm french) [02:04] no problem at all [02:04] your english is obviously fine, anyway there will be plenty of time for spellchecking and so on [02:05] ok [02:06] http://help.ubuntu.com/ seem's to be down [02:08] damn === jjesse [n=jjesse@mail.ftpb.com] has joined #ubuntu-doc [02:11] i didn't do anytihhng! === mdke stares at jsgotangco fiercely [02:12] :) [02:13] :D [02:19] what's wrong? [02:21] our server is down [02:22] i just changed my password a few hours ago :P [02:23] doh that stinks === mdke shrugs [02:23] it will be a test of serverpronto's customer service [02:23] I've heard it is rubbish [02:28] btw jjesse we may have a problem with building the kubuntu desktop guide [02:28] it occurred to me that the stupid kde tools don't support things like xincludes and probably not the olinkdb either [02:28] the options are (a) use xsltproc for that guide, or (b) change the guide so it doesn't use that stuff [02:32] stupid kde tools? === jsgotangco calls Riddell [02:32] well, they don't [02:32] we always knew that [02:33] seriously though [02:33] that is an issue [02:33] yes it is [02:34] not a new one either [02:36] to be honest i don't know how much help i will be in this discussion as i'm don't totally understand xincludes and other things like that yet === mgalvin [n=mgalvin@ubuntu/member/mgalvin] has joined #ubuntu-doc === enrico [n=enrico@debian/developer/enrico] has joined #ubuntu-doc [03:04] brb === mgalvin [n=mgalvin@ubuntu/member/mgalvin] has joined #ubuntu-doc === mhz [n=mhz_chil@pc-252-84-215-201.cm.vtr.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc === jsgotangco [n=jsg@210.4.59.162] has joined #ubuntu-doc [05:57] jdub, poke? === lloydinho [n=andreas@karin309.egmont-kol.dk] has joined #ubuntu-doc [06:17] somebody pinged me? [06:18] well, about eight hours ago, jjesse mentioned you [06:18] dunno if that counts as a pinging [06:18] ah, ok [06:19] how are you KingBahamut [06:19] Kinnison, === mdke peers at Burgwork === Kinnison is well, thanks === Kyral [n=kyral@ubuntu/member/kyral] has joined #ubuntu-doc [06:43] mdke, hmm? got no internet at home, so not much Ubuntu work recently [06:44] bummer === kjcole [n=kjcole@pchb1f.gallaudet.edu] has joined #ubuntu-doc [06:48] going to be sorting that out today [06:50] jdub, 2 things [06:50] jdub, first I was wondering about the status of start.ubuntu.com [06:51] if it's going to happen, I won't bother worrying about improving and translating the current browser homepage [06:51] ok, will give you status this week [06:51] second was, can you reply to my email about yelp customisations [06:51] hrm, can you send it again? [06:51] well, maybe i'm not the right person to talk to [06:51] jdub, sure [06:51] what was it about? [06:52] you remember we discussing giving the css some ubuntu theming? [06:52] yeah === mhz [n=mhz_chil@pc-252-84-215-201.cm.vtr.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc [06:52] it was about whether those should be done for the human theme only, or more widely [06:53] hrm, how do you mean? [06:53] whether it should adapt to other theme colours, or...? [06:53] yelp currently gets its colours from whichever theme the user is using [06:53] it's not very aggressive about those, so we're just talking like text-highlighting and so on [06:54] a possibility would be to start including more brownness generally in the yelp css [06:55] the other possibility is to get yelp to be a bit more aggressive about using theme colours in things like links, headers etc [06:55] yeah [06:55] hrm [06:55] jdub, anyhow, I've resent the mail [06:55] so changing default.css wouldn't be problematic at all [06:55] but there is that weird interaction with themed colour usage [06:55] changing default.css has no effect afaik [06:55] it's all in the xsl templates [06:56] i *imagine* that gtkhtml would interpret the themed colours correctly [06:56] hrm [06:56] sec [06:56] yeah, okay [06:56] so look at yelp-common.xsl [06:56] yes [06:57] it does shit like this: [06:57] { color: ; } [06:57] yes [06:57] the alternatives are: [06:57] so that's where we'd want to get all patchy wit' it [06:57] { color: #nice-ubuntu-color } [06:57] or [06:58] { color: blah blah yelp.color.bg } [06:58] or do more interesting colourisations with the theme colours... [06:58] so that it uses the theme background or something [06:58] let's call these option A and option B [06:58] ok [06:58] respectively ;) [06:59] option B definitely has a big advantage when it comes to accessibility and so on [06:59] and for those people who are brown-challenged [06:59] nod [06:59] also, we might be able to push something upstream, I think shaun hasn't given much love to the color scheme [06:59] though unless we are very careful, the help viewer will break really badly with stupid themes [06:59] yes, that might be why it is on the conservative side [06:59] hmm [07:00] i think i'd lean towards B [07:00] that's what I figured [07:00] bit toss in some transparent pngs of the ubuntu logo [07:00] like the one from ubuntu-artwork's gdm theme [07:00] s/bit/but/ [07:00] ooh interesting [07:00] as a fixed background you mean? [07:00] i mean, we can certainly tart up the html independently of getting the themed colours working better [07:01] oh, no, i more meant as a header bar or something [07:01] i don't know how to do that via pure css [07:01] though you could have a fixed position bar at navigation bar at the top of the help browser [07:02] nothing's stopping us from diddling with the html :) [07:02] which html? [07:02] but yeah, we could get a bunch of this done with css alone [07:02] the html that the stylesheets spit out [07:02] hmm [07:02] it's not to hard to diddle with [07:02] too [07:02] yeah we might be able to knock something up [07:02] ok [07:03] i gtg home [07:03] I'll play around, and mail you some more [07:03] ok [07:03] happy to help with things where i can [07:03] thanks [07:03] and i can point you to more useful people if required ;) [07:04] ok, but you're a hard man to pin down [07:04] i'll be a bit easier until the 14th [07:04] when i'll be travelling again [07:04] going to OSWC and FOSDEM [07:04] ah ok [07:05] i'm off then, thanks [07:05] oh, well, your email covered most of that [07:05] ! === mhz [n=mhz_chil@pc-252-84-215-201.cm.vtr.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc === Mez [n=Mez@ubuntu/member/mez] has joined #ubuntu-doc === LaserJock [n=LaserJoc@ubuntu/member/laserjock] has joined #ubuntu-doc === poningru [n=poningru@n128-227-61-6.xlate.ufl.edu] has joined #ubuntu-doc === Snake|Sleeping is now known as Snake__ [08:57] jdub, ugh, using yelp.selected.bg is not really an option: the brown is not dark enough to work with text.
