mdkegood news10:08
rob:)10:08
mdkewhat were you thinking of working on?10:09
robI guess I'll get stuck into the desktop guide again10:09
robbut I'm thinking I'll need my password reset as I *may* not still have my gpg keys10:09
robbut hold out on that, I haven't tried to import them etc yet10:10
mdkeargh10:10
mdkeyou might still have the svn password around somewhere I guess10:10
=== rob broke his ubuntu over the christmas break
jsgotangcobah10:11
mdkerob, you can always send patches in the meantime, I'll apply em10:15
robyeah10:15
jsgotangcocan i send patches to you too? :)10:17
=== mdke slaps jsgotangco
robhmm I think I just rm -rf 'ed  my wifes email10:26
roboops :(10:26
Kamping_Kaiserouch :/10:28
roblucky its gmail10:30
jsgotangcohmm10:31
jsgotangcowhen was our last meeting?10:31
mdketwo weeks ago10:31
jsgotangcowhat happened there?10:32
jsgotangcothat was probably 5am on my side10:32
mdkedunno10:33
jsgotangcooh you werent there10:33
jsgotangco?10:33
jsgotangcono one attends meetings anyway when i arrange one :/10:34
mdkei can't remember10:34
=== jsgotangco sigh
mdkethe meeting agenda page should tell you10:37
jsgotangcoi only see 1 entry10:37
mdkeeh10:38
mdkethat's for the next meeting, you want the old meetings10:38
=== jsgotangco thinks quality of -doc meetings degraded lately
mdkewe've had some good work though10:49
jsgotangcocurrently no plans for improvement though10:51
mdkewell I certainly plan to try and improve the documents10:56
mdkei think others do too10:56
jsgotangco:/10:59
=== Kamping_Kaiser likes doing doco, just cant hand the complexity of doing svn+diffs+stuff
jsgotangcowell the toolchain requires us so for now11:00
jsgotangcoor else we'll have pretty bad translation jobs11:00
mdkeKamping_Kaiser, it's pretty easy, we can help11:01
mdkesvn diff > name.of.your.patch11:01
Kamping_Kaiserdoes that diff everything in svn? or just the working dir?11:02
=== WaterSevenUb [n=WaterSev@azevedo.astro.up.pt] has joined #ubuntu-doc
mdkeKamping_Kaiser, whereever you type the command11:07
mdkeif you prefer you can do "svn diff filename.xml > name.of.patch11:07
Kamping_Kaiserok. *goes to have a play*11:08
Kamping_Kaiserthanks :)11:08
jsgotangcoim going to re-ogranize this project :/11:09
mdkehuh?11:10
mdkewe need people to write docs right now, not reorganise11:10
jsgotangcono impact to current work, just some housekeeping :)11:10
jsgotangcoif its ok with you :/11:11
mdkesure11:11
mdkebut if you want to write more, you can, that's all I'm saying11:12
jsgotangcohuh?11:12
jsgotangcoi've been updating my docs11:12
jsgotangco!11:12
mdkeyeah, i know11:13
mdkebut you seem keen on doing more, so I was just encouraging you11:13
jsgotangcoi've been doing a lot of writing lately that's why11:13
Kamping_Kaiseris the help written in docbook or xml proper? (i thought it was docbook, but this is an xml file)11:13
jsgotangcoits always in docbook11:14
mdkedocbook is a declaration of xml11:14
jsgotangco(with the exception of some yelp templates i believe)11:14
Kamping_Kaiserso it says "xml version 1.0", and Doctype is docbook - that means that docbook is what we are working with? sorry, i havent used xml before11:15
mdkeyes it is docbook xml11:16
mdkebut you don't need to worry about what it is :)11:17
jsgotangcojust think of it as descriptive markup11:17
jsgotangcofor books11:17
Kamping_Kaiserok :)... so follow how other people did it and it should be ok? then i asume run the validate.sh to check..11:17
jsgotangcoheh11:17
