mdke_Kyral, no offense but I already told you twice that there are.12:04
mdke_espresso-ubuntu-doc - Ubuntu documentation and help files for Espresso live installer12:04
mdke_espresso-guadalinex-doc - Guadalinex documentation and help files for Espresso live installer12:05
mdke_i haven't taken a look yet12:06
mdke_but it's a vital starting point, in any case12:07
Kyralmdke_: Its been hectic recently for me, sorry12:07
mdke_np12:09
mdke_Kyral, you would want to talk to Kamion about the installer/installer docs, he has been working on those12:10
KyralYah I spoke to him earlier about it12:10
mdke_good stuff12:11
mdke_he didn't mention those docs??12:11
KyralI dunno if I told him I was the guy from the DocTeam that would be writing the Documentation though lol12:11
mdke_well, anyone is welcome to work on documentation12:12
mdke_probably the source for that is in a bzr repo of his12:12
mdke_no doubt he'll welcome patches :)12:12
KyralYuah...but I think I put my name on the list didn't I?12:12
mdke_Kyral, dude, this is open source, anyone can contribute. If patches are good, I'm sure Colin will apply them12:13
KyralI know, I just meant I'm "responsible", know what I'm trying to say?12:14
mdke_no12:14
mdke_Colin is responsible, he'll merge the code12:14
mdke_in regard of that package, anyhow12:14
mdke_i'm sure he'll accept patches12:15
KyralI didn't mean for the Installer itself. I meant Installing Ubuntu thing12:15

dsasDoes anyone think it's worth linking to "dive into python" from the Programming section of the desktop guide?12:34
Burgworkdsas, yep12:34
Burgworkfoolish not to use an exisiting resource12:34
Burgworkalso promote python heavily12:34
Burgworkmark's vision of python on Ubunt is much like VB on Windows, the everywhere glue language12:34
dsasthat's what I thought, looking for a tutorial on gtk-python somewhere on the net too...12:35
dsasor pygtk even12:35
mpt__http://pygtk.org/tutorial.html12:36
dsasI'm just looking at that now..12:36

dsasis there a particular tool people use for editing docbook, or is it just a case of using an editor12:45
Burgworkdsas, I use gedit12:46
dsasI thought that that was what is was a case of....I've been using vim up to now, but wasn't sure if there was anything "better" out there.12:47
BurgworkI have heard that vim/emacs have some nice plugins12:48
dsasi'll give those a try sometime then..12:50

Kyralthe Emacs plugin is just a general plugin for SGML type markup (which Docbook is)01:21
Kyral</late>01:21

Madpilothi10:12
mdkeMadpilot, so the <procedure><step> stuff isn't too bad? perhaps we should do it10:12
Madpilotyou saw my email to the list?10:13
mdkenot yet10:13
mdkejust yesterday in here10:13
mdkeah i see :(10:14
Madpilotit looks OK, but it seems to slow Yelp's loading down even further - and common-tasks.xml is currently non-valid10:14
mdke someone went ahead and converted it?10:14
Madpilotyeah, haven't reviewed the commit email to see who - jjesse maybe10:15
mdkeunlikely10:16
MadpilotAuthor: jeffsch10:16
MadpilotDate: Sat Feb 18 00:18:32 200610:16
MadpilotNew Revision: 244010:16
MadpilotModified:10:16
Madpilot  trunk/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks.xml10:16
MadpilotLog:10:16
Madpilotreplaced itemizedlist and listitem tags with procedure and step tags10:16
Madpilot...and he must not have run the validation script...10:16
mdkegah10:16
mdkei think i would have preferred him to wait for us to discuss it, but hey, we can always revert if it is bumming stuff up10:17
MadpilotI won't paste the /.validate script errors, it's several terminal screens long10:17
mdkei'll chec it out now10:18
mdkedesktopguide.xml validates ok10:18
mdkehe says, without svn upping10:18
Madpilotrev 2440 is current10:18
mdkeok i get this: http://pastebin.com/56082310:19
Madpilotthat looks like what I get10:19
Madpilotsee my email - it does work in Yelp, but seems slower10:20
mdkehmm10:21
mdkei'm bad at judging speed10:21
mdkehopefully jeffsch will reply and tell us what he is up to10:23
Madpilot...and how to fix common-tasks...10:24
Madpilotanyway, the diff I created fixes a few minor things, if you think it's worth committing - typos & status tags, mostly10:25
=== mdke thinks
mdkeit may be easier to revert jeffsch's change if we don't apply it quite yet10:29
mdkealthough, it shouldn't be too difficult anyway10:29
Madpilotyeah, was thinking that too10:29
mdkewhich?10:30
Madpilotnot bothering with my patch until we figure out what we're doing abou the invalid code...10:31
mdkealright, we can keep it on standby10:31
mdkei'll apply dsas's patch tho10:31
MadpilotI'd fogotten about his - only to config-system, so no conflict w/ our c-t issues10:34
mdkeactually, let's apply your patch10:34
mdkethen if jeff needs to revert the procedures, we don't lose your changes10:35
Madpilotsure10:35
mdkeif we revert first, it may be difficult to reapply your changes10:35
mdkeMadpilot, now, on the "Synaptic/Advanced" point10:35
mdkeyou're probably right10:36
mdkeactually, you're definitely right10:36
MadpilotOK, I'll patch that tomorrow sometime, unless someone beats me to it10:38
MadpilotAnyway, need to get off this damned machine, I got up at 0600 local to join the docteam meeting, and it's now almost 0200 local... :P10:39
mdkeok, good night10:39
Madpilottalk to you tomorrow sometime10:40

mdkeKamping_Kaiser, can I help?04:05
Kamping_Kaisermdke: i was just going to ask about edubuntus docs and what was happening with them. don't know if your familar with what they are doing.04:05
mdkea bit04:06
mdkethere are 2 documents in our repository04:07
mdkeabout edubuntu, and release notes04:07
mdkethere is a cookbook project, which you'll find in launchpad04:07
jsgotangcoabout to add one more :)04:07
mdkeKamping_Kaiser, ah, you can talk to jsgotangco about it04:08
Kamping_Kaisercool. thanks mdke04:08
Kamping_Kaiserhi jsgotangco :004:08
jsgotangcothe cookbook is a bit vaporware for now....we havent seen it at all04:09
Kamping_Kaiseri have the wiki page open right now - is that it in it's entirity?04:10
jsgotangcoso me and mhz_food thought of doing a quickguide for the edubuntu apps04:10
mdkei thought the cookbook is quite far progressed?04:10
Kamping_Kaiserso a quick help on each one? or some major/usefull apps?04:10
mdkethat was posted to the list recently04:10
jsgotangcoi dunno there is supposed to be a baz archive but the usa folks say its in lore04:10
mdkejsgotangco, have a look at it, it's registered in launchpad. Lore is a format, not a version control system. I believe there is a bzr branch you can grab04:11
=== mdke looks
jsgotangcomdke, even the edubuntu meetings haven't been successful on this...04:12
mdkehttps://launchpad.net/people/kjcole/+branch/edubuntu.cookbook/wip04:12
jsgotangcoask mhz_food he knows about it04:12
mdkeshame they didn't work with our tools04:13
jsgotangcothats what we were saying04:13
jsgotangcoi've used lore but its not useful for our workflow04:13

jsgotangcohttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdubuntuSoftwareList04:18
jsgotangcoKamping_Kaiser, if you look at that url, it shows the desktop apps04:19
Kamping_Kaiserjsgotangco: just opening now04:19
jsgotangcowe were thinking of putting that as a doc then add more info on age group, field of study etc.04:19
Kamping_Kaiserjsgotangco: wow. big list04:21
jsgotangcowell excluding the server apps04:21
