nomedjanimo, we wait him to discuss localisation issues05:04
janimo1) panel plugins05:04
nomedyep05:04
Gloubiboulgawe can move the 2nd item to the end if he's late imo05:04
Gloubiboulgaok, just a quick look at those plugins05:04
janimothe plugins not uploaded so far are those which do not seem to work05:04
janimofor all of us05:04
janimoweather and diskperf are in this categpry05:05
Gloubiboulgaexcept the clipman plugin05:05
janimothe rest are not yet ported05:05
janimoI uploaded clipman today :)05:05
Gloubiboulgaok :)05:05
janimodii not update the wiki though05:05
Gloubiboulgaxkb is ready, I can package it quickly05:05
nomedjanimo, Gloubiboulga it's strange that weather works fine here05:05
janimoGloubiboulga: cool I just wanted to ask you about it05:05
nomedwas it in breezy ?05:05
janimonomed: yes05:06
janimoit wass buggy though05:06
Gloubiboulgafor all the not-yet-ported plugins, the author are working on them05:06
janimoI could not change kb layout using it05:06
janimoGloubiboulga: great05:06
Gloubiboulgaexcept lua plugin05:06
janimoGloubiboulga: that's irrelevamt to most users05:06
janimotoo techincal05:06
janimoso not a priority05:06
Gloubiboulgaok, so we can just forget it I guess05:06
janimoright, or package it if it gets ported05:07
Gloubiboulgayep05:07
janimoprioroty is weather/dsikperf/xkb05:07
janimoespecially xkb for localisation 05:07
janimoscreenshot plugin seems not to be a good idea as upstream said05:07
Gloubiboulgaxkb will soon be packaged :)05:07
janimoso I may juts make it an executable05:07
janimoGloubiboulga: I know, I just wanted to stress that it's the most important plugin issing right now IMO05:08
janimoGloubiboulga: I loooked in goodies svn two days ago and saw nothing05:08
Gloubiboulgaok05:08
janimoso assumed xkb is no worked on05:08
Gloubiboulgajanimo, the author emailed me this morning that it's ready05:08
janimogreat05:09
janimoanything else to add for plugins?05:09
janimoif not 3) archiver05:09
Gloubiboulgawe should remove datetime and xfce4-toys from the archives imo05:09
=== jozmak [n=mak@h66-201-246-249.gtcust.grouptelecom.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
janimoGloubiboulga: datetime is replaced too?05:09
nomedand add a meta pkge ?05:09
janimowith toys I agree it is just not easy to remove from the arch05:09
nomedwith all the working plugins ?05:09
janimobusy admins05:09
Gloubiboulgajanimo, datetime is not working iirc, and there are similar plugins with the panel05:10
janimonomed, lets' wait till it's clear which plugins make it to dapper05:10
nomedk05:10
janimoI add the plugins one by one to xubunt-desktop so we know explictely what is tested and deemd ok for default install05:10
janimoGloubiboulga: ok, there are some other xfce pkgs which need purging from the arch will need to ask for all of them in the same time05:11
Gloubiboulgaok05:11
janimothe old 4.2 plugins + toys05:11
janimoold xfprint xfdesktop if they are still there, xterminal05:11
janimoold package names which we used in hoary05:12
janimo3)archiver05:12
nomedok05:12
nomedthe devel is working actively on it during these days05:12
nomedthe release 0.4 will be just when iso support will be fixed05:12
nomedin the mean time i asked him to use a version control05:13
janimoyou mention thunar plugin for 0.4 to in the wiki05:13
janimois that so?05:13
nomedhe's happy with bzr at the end05:13
nomedyep05:13
janimogood05:13
janimoso will he take care of integrating the plugin? I did not look at it05:13
nomedhe'll add an --extract opt05:13
nomedand he will work on thunar plugin then05:13
janimooh but we do the thunar bits right?05:13
janimook05:13
nomedthen ..05:13
nomedi think we should pkge it from bzr05:14
nomedhelp him on solving issues05:14
janimook05:14
janimoI agree05:14
nomedthen 0.4 should be ready for dapper05:14
janimowe still have to test if it is stable, does not eat data05:14
janimoand this kind of stuff05:14
nomedjanimo, he sent me new two patches05:14
janimosince it is a potentially destructive app 05:14
nomednow it should be mostly bug free05:15
janimonomed, let's wait for bzr if he promised Monday05:15
nomedthe known bugs are gone05:15
janimowhich were they btw?05:15
nomedi'll have a gmail chat session with him05:15
nomedi'll help him on that05:15
nomedi'll mail you when ready05:15
janimook05:15
janimo I just noticed the png not found warnig at start05:15
nomedjanimo, adding files to an archive05:15
nomedfor the 2 3 times05:16
nomedhad some issues05:16
nomednot anymore05:16
Gloubiboulgajanimo, netswitch author has just confirmed, he doesn't use /etc/network/interfaces05:16
janimohmm, it would have been better if he released now so we can test and then fix the iso handling :)05:16
janimoGloubiboulga: thanks05:16
janimohmm, I would have preferred to be an equivalent of gnome-net-setting without gnome libs instead of a whole new05:17
nomedjanimo, k i'll ask for it05:17
janimoincompatible way :)05:17
nomedi think a 0.3.1 or something like that should be a problem for hi05:17
nomedm05:17
janimo0.3.1 is the last AFAIK05:17
janimo4) Dapper Look05:17
janimoour weak point ;)05:17
nomedhehehe05:17
janimoit's good we have 6 more weeks05:18
nomedthe dapper-look chan is not really active05:18
nomedanymore05:18
janimoto wait for soemone to do the artwork :)05:18
nomedbut that guy told me he had something ready05:18
janimomaybe even upstream releases 4.4 by then05:18
nomedi was not on irc during the week end05:18
nomedi hope to meet him soon05:18
janimobut once we have ISOs I think there's going to be more contributions in this area for sure05:19
janimowhich leads us to 5)05:19
janimoISO images05:19
Gloubiboulgais there something scheduled for this ?05:19
janimothey are approved but still blocked05:19
janimoappreved to be supported by canonical so they can go to main05:19
nomedjanimo, we should have it soon05:20
janimowhich is what I thogh was the case so far but was not apparently05:20
nomedi think we should fix something in capser for xubuntu05:20
nomedcasper05:20
janimoso we need the pakcages in main than they can build CD-s there are more people doing that now besides Colin Watson05:20
janimonomed: what?05:20
nomedjanimo, will xubuntu have even a livecd ?05:20
janimonomed, I sure hope so05:21
janimoand an espresso installer05:21
nomedit's possible we should fix something on them05:21
nomedcasper and espresso05:21
janimowhat exaclty ?do you know something specific or wondering05:21
janimoespresso shoulf be gtk only05:22
nomedi've seen casper has some scripts for gnome stuff ..05:22
nomedi need to take a deeper look on that ..05:22
nomedbut there are gnome specific scripts05:22
janimoI hope it just looks ate the livecd seed and does the right thing05:22
nomedand maybe xfce needs some too05:22
janimosince it works for kde I think it's not gnome dependent05:22
janimoas soon as we start doing install cd-s I'll take a closer look to the live seeds05:23
janimoI did not pay much attention to them05:23
janimoonly to the desktop seed05:23
Riddellthe gtk side of espresso does stuff with turning off gconf, but nothing very gnome specific05:23
janimoRiddell: thanks05:24
nomedi've seen it but i didn't check the code very well ..05:24
janimoanyway since that is the livecd it may even use some small gnome bits as long as it does not install them ;)05:24
janimoso the conclusion is flightX will be available but I cannot estimate when05:25
nomedjanimo, i was thinking on configuration stuff05:25
janimosince it depends on when packages will be put in main05:25
janimonomed, yes/05:25
janimo?05:25
nomedjanimo, i'll take a deeper look on that during the week end and i'll be more specific 05:26
janimonomed, unrelated: if you like pyxfce you may want to package the bindings05:26
janimoalso the pyexo stuff05:26
nomedjanimo, yep it would be cool ..05:26
janimothat would sit well with the whole ubuntu line ;)05:26
nomedbut maybe for dapper +1 ?05:26
janimonomed, sure05:26
janimoshouildn't be hard though05:27
janimojust a small matter of packaging ;)05:27
nomedyep05:27
=== janimo remembers some very frustrating times with such 'small matters of packaging'

janimoanything else?05:28
Gloubiboulga:)05:28

nomedi agree05:29
Gloubiboulgayep, I agree too05:29
janimoFriday may not be good for some people05:29
janimowe should chose a day we have small chances to overlap with other meetings05:29

soumyadipjanimo, right05:38
janimodo you have a list of packages which we need in xubuntu so they provide out of the box functionality for indic langs05:38
janimothe one you sent to th elist is that?05:38
soumyadipno that was for scim05:38

janimowhat else is needed05:38

=== lfittl [n=lfittl@83-65-244-94.dynamic.xdsl-line.inode.at] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
soumyadipwe also need the ttf-indic-fonts metapackage, that pulls in all the individual font packages05:39
soumyadipwe need to look into a couple of aspell packages05:39
janimowhat is the status of ubuntu/kubuntu re this subject05:39
janimois this the frentic work in progress at the l10n sprint ?05:40
G0SUBjanimo: much more than that ...05:40
soumyadipjanimo, nah, most of the packages are already in Ubuntu05:40
soumyadipjanimo, we are currently trying to fix a rendering problem on OO205:40
janimoGOSUB, I hope the sprint is much more than that not that we need much more than the sprinters are working on05:40
soumyadipjanimo, well we did solve a rendering issue with firefox05:41
janimosoumyadip: OO2 does not directly concern xubuntu05:41
soumyadipah yes05:41
janimosoumyadip: so we need to pick the packages which gnome/ubuntu installs for indic languiages and we;re fine?05:41
soumyadipjanimo, you asked about the frenetic work :)05:41
soumyadipyup05:41
janimosoumyadip: ah, ok :)05:41
soumyadipjanimo, apart form one small thing about the locales05:42
janimotranslations for xfce apps?05:42
janimoI think we'll add language chooser05:42
soumyadipjanimo, well translations are conducted by individual language teams05:42
soumyadipjanimo, great05:42
janimowhen xubuntu packages go to main, the plan is (was) to add them to langpack-base05:43
soumyadipjanimo, since the language teams work autonomously, not all languages are translated completely05:43
G0SUBsoumyadip: is XFCE in Rosetta yet?05:43
soumyadipG0SUB, no05:43
janimosince they are relatively small05:43
soumyadipjanimo, ok05:43
G0SUBbetter get those in then05:43
soumyadipjanimo, I started work on some translations05:43
janimonot in rosetta bc the policy is AIUI do not put stuff in rosetta if upstream does not use rosetta05:43
soumyadipG0SUB, that is not for me to decide05:44
janimoand xfce is not using it05:44
janimosoumyadip: great, are you coordinating with xfce i18n05:44
janimoalthough if dapper got imported in rosetta may mean that we can use it for packages indep of upstream05:45
janimoI am not sure05:45
soumyadipjanimo, no, I'm currently translating .po files and sending them over to Runa Bhattacharya, who is the contact for Bengali i18n05:45
janimosoumyadip: apps in general you mean not just xfce?05:45
soumyadipjanimo, no XFCE specific05:45
soumyadipI started work on thunar05:46
janimoand Runa sends to xfce then?05:46
soumyadipjanimo, correct05:46
janimosoumyadip: great05:46
janimoso input methods, fonts , aspell and language packs05:47
soumyadipwell the bengali translation team is divided between India and Bangladesh, so importing into rosetta would be beneficial for Bengali at least as people from both countries could work collaboratively05:47
janimoof these only input methods is trickier than the latin locales right?05:47
soumyadipjanimo, does XFCE concern itself with hunspell ? there are hunspell dictionaries too05:47
soumyadipjanimo, yup05:47
soumyadipjanimo, all of them are covered by scim-tables-additional05:48
janimosoumyadip: they don;t have any app that uses a spell checker afaik05:48
soumyadipjanimo,  ok05:48
janimois abiword covered?05:48
Seveasogra, true, but this channel is not nearly full enough to need a complete scheduler05:48
soumyadipjanimo, Indic rendering in Abiword is hopelessly broken05:48
janimoupstream problem?05:49
soumyadipjanimo, yup05:49
janimoSo I guess OO will be used even with xubuntu?05:49
soumyadipif the user so decides05:49
janimowell if rendering is broken and user wants indic rendering :)05:49
soumyadipexactly05:49
janimoOT: how is koffice in this regard05:50
Riddelljanimo: which?05:51
janimoindic rendering05:51
Riddellsame as all the rest of KDE05:51
janimomeaning ? :)05:51
RiddellI've not heard any complains apart from Kate, so I assume it works05:52
soumyadipjanimo, well I personally haven'ty tested KDE at all05:52
janimoRiddell: why don;t you ship koffice instead of oo?05:52
janimosoumyadip: ok, I was just curios if oo had some advantages afetr all05:52
janimoanything else to discuss?05:52
Riddelljanimo: koffice lacks a number of features, kword isn't perfectly WYSIWYG, koffice 1.4.0 was quite unstable and their MS import filters are not as good as openoffice (except kspread) and export filters are non-existant05:53
janimoso meeting next week Wed 14UTC 05:53
janimoSeveas, can you put it on the fridge ^05:53
janimothanks05:53
Riddellwe do ship krita on the CD from koffice05:53
janimoRiddell: thanks05:54
soumyadipjanimo, ok, I'll play around to see if there are any more issues05:54
janimook thanks everyone we meet next Wed05:54

nomedwouldn't it be possible to have an xubuntu cd using the pkge that are already in main ?05:55
janimoSeveas: aha I thought you were05:55
janimonomed: only gnome/lde are in main :)05:56
janimothat's why we dont; have a CD yet05:56
nomedand just for xubuntu team ?05:56
nomedubuntu has already released 5 cds ..05:56
nomedi hope we'll not have too much issues on xubuntu cds :/05:57
janimoyou mean a cd with packages in universe then?05:57
nomedyes05:57
janimonomed, I hope so too05:57

LaserJockI am10:07
=== manicka nods
mdkecool10:08
mdkeshall we get straight into it?10:08
trappistlet's do, this is the only thing keeping me from going home :)10:08
mdkeagenda is: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/MeetingAgenda10:08
mdkefirst up, Author attribution - proposal is to have the author of every document as the Documentation Team, with the team email address. Individual contributors can then be listed in the <legalnotice> tag.10:09
mdkewe've already discussed this briefly in the chan10:09
mdkeanyone have any clarifications/questions/worries?10:09
LaserJockok, so where exactly are we setting this?10:09
LaserJockin bookinfo.xml or the omf file?10:09
=== Bigredman74 [n=Bigredma@68.62.169.39] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
mdkein each document, wherever it is relevant10:09
mdkeit's in the <bookinfo> tag yeah, but that may not always be a separate file10:10
Burgworkworks for me10:10
trappistI'm not sure I like it - I think that info is less useful than an actual author's name10:10
mdketo my mind, the ideal example is this: https://docteam.ubuntu.com/repos/trunk/generic/packagingguide/C/bookinfo.xml10:10
trappistbut I haven't really thought it through10:10
trappistwhat's the argument for it?10:10
mdketrappist, i think docs look better when they come from a team, rather than individuals.10:11
Burgworkwe have a single contact, the doc team10:11
mdkeand it's better for contact details, as Burg says10:11
Burgworkbecause as some of us have seen, sometimes teams are revolving doors, while the team is constant10:11
LaserJockmdke: ok, but what about the omf files. They have <creator>, <maintainer>, and <contributor> tages?10:11
trappistthat does make sense10:11
mdkeLaserJock, i would say creator+maintainer = team, and contributor = individuals10:12
mdkenot sure10:12
LaserJockthe only thing I would like to have is some separation a far as what doc team members are "in charge" of each doc10:13
=== Bigredman74 [n=Bigredma@68.62.169.39] has left #ubuntu-meeting ["Leaving"]
mdkeLaserJock, yes, that's why I like the way you've done it in the packaging guide bookinfo10:13
LaserJockI agree ;-)10:13
LaserJockbut I think I need to change the omf file10:13
mdkeyes10:14
=== jjesse [n=jjesse@mail.ftpb.com] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
mdkehi jjesse 10:14
jjessehello10:14
mdkejjesse, we're on item 110:14
jjesseok, grabing the agenda10:14
jjesseany decision made on that?10:16
trappistso author=team, maintainer=maintainer and contributors=a list?10:16
mdkejjesse, the general feeling is pro, what are your views?10:16
mdketrappist, precisely10:16
jjessei have no problem with it10:16
trappistmdke: as opposed to author/maintainer=team10:17
jjessefor example in the release notes i included some authors in the list but missed some and was asked about it10:17
jjessei like trappist idea author=team maint. = maintainer10:17
manickaa contributor list should be more than enough10:18
mdketrappist, yes. in https://docteam.ubuntu.com/repos/trunk/generic/packagingguide/C/bookinfo.xml you'd have the maintainers and contributors in the <legalnotice> tag, and the author (docteam) in the <authorgroup> tag10:18
trappistI don't see a maintainer - as in, who's "in charge of" that particular doc10:19
mdketrappist, right, that would be added to that file10:19
trappistwhich is useful info, at least for me10:19
trappistgotcha10:19
jjesseconfused a little10:19
jjessemaintainer would be the person "in charge" of that doc, like laserjock for kubuntu destkop guide10:20
mdkea bit like this: https://docteam.ubuntu.com/repos/trunk/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/bookinfo.xml except maybe the maintainer list could be separate from the contributors10:20
jjesse?10:20
trappistin that case, +1 to the proposal as I understand it10:20
mdkejjesse, sure, except its robotgeek :)10:20
jjessegrin i never keep it straight10:20
=== mdke inserts an apostrophe in "its" before trappist sees
=== trappist puts away his apostrophe-shaped cluebat
mdkeok, everyone seems in favour10:21
mdkeany more comments?10:21
jjesseso for the docs we have to redo and add a bookinfo.xml file?10:21
jjessecause i know releasenotes and about kubuntu don't have them10:21
mdkejjesse, no no. You can do it all in one file too10:21
mdkejjesse, it's in the <bookinfo> tag in release-notes.xml and about-kubuntu.xml10:21
jjesseah sorry, brain is fried from a long work week10:22
mdkei know the feeling :/10:22
mdkeall clear?10:22
jjesseyes10:22
LaserJockI think so10:22
mdkeLaserJock, go ahead if it's not10:23
LaserJockmdke: so the packaging guide is ok? I just need to adjust the omf file10:23
mdkeLaserJock, you should adjust the list in bookinfo.xml so that it is clear you are the maintainer. Maybe even split the list into two lists10:23
=== Fujitsu|zZz is now known as Fujitsu
mdkeIMO10:23
LaserJockmdke: ok, maybe you should send a sample (template) to the list so everybody can see10:24
mdkeok10:24
mdkeit's two lists already actually10:24
LaserJockI just split it into "doc team members" and "contributors"10:25
mdkeLaserJock, something like this: http://pastebin.com/60808410:26
mdkeexcept without the grammatical errors10:26
LaserJockthat looks good to me10:26
mdkenote: I've also changed the authorgroup to use the entity, but that is trivial10:26
LaserJockand then in the omf I would have author == doc project and maintainer == laserjock10:27
mdkecreator == doc project, I suppose. there isn't an "author"10:28
trappistthat does make more sense10:28
LaserJockthere isn't?10:28
LaserJockdoh, there isn't10:28
LaserJockok, I'm all good10:28

=== netzmeister [n=netzmeis@p549F8D01.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
mdkenext item:  Internal doc freeze dates? What/when are we giving docs to translators? 10:29
mdkewe haven't heard back from the TB about the doc freeze yet10:30
jjesseremember that this will be the first time that kubuntu docs will be included in rosetta10:30
LaserJockok, so I was talking with Keybuk in -devel about the doc freeze10:30
mdkeme too10:30
mdkehe seemed happy but said to wait for the rest of the TB10:30
LaserJockhe thought the present scheme on wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseSchedule was good10:31
mdkeerm10:31
mdkethat is kinda the opposite of what we've been saying on the thread on the mailing list10:31
mdkeit is a 6 week delay10:31
LaserJockexactly10:32
LaserJockthat is my point10:32
jjessei thought on the mailing list we talked about a 2 week delay for the docs10:32
mdkewhen I spoke to him today he was happy about amending that to 2 weeks10:32
LaserJockmdke: ok, I talked to him yesterday I think10:32
LaserJockhe must have changed his mind ;-)10:32
mdkeLaserJock, I'm pushier than you :)10:32
mdkeI'm really against a 6 week delay10:32
LaserJockwell, the point he brought up was that UI Freeze was also pushed 6 weeks10:33
mdkethose poor translations are gonna have like 10 times the strings they had for breezy, and even then it wasn't enough time10:33
LaserJockso we will freeze before UI Freeze10:33
mdkeI don't have a problem with that, as I said in my email. what do others think?10:33
trappistI don't have my head around what needs to be done or how much time we *need*, so I don't really have an opinion.10:34
LaserJockCorey didn't think that the UI freeze would affect much and I tend to agree. I think the changes should be pretty small10:34
LaserJockbut I'm not writing a doc heavily using the UI ;-)10:34
mdkeI agree too. I think that any changes can be sorted out by us changing and notifying the translator list10:35
mdkebut I'm still keen on freezing early formally, rather than informally10:35
LaserJockagreed, so +2 weeks on all docs?10:35
mdkecan the packaging guide handle it?10:36
LaserJockI sure hope so10:36
mdkeheh10:36
LaserJock2 extra weeks will good10:36
LaserJockIt might not have as much polish as the rest of the docs10:36
trappistI can polish10:36
mdkeany more thoughts on this? votes +1 or -1 for 2 weeks (subject to TB approval):10:36
LaserJock+110:36

Burgworksounds good10:38
mgalvin+110:38
LaserJockmy biggest concern with the packaging guide is that it won't have much developer review, but I think I'll have to wait for Dapper+1 for that10:39
mdkeok, that brings us onto the next one10:39
mdkeCurrent doc status. Where are we at with each doc?10:39
mdkego LaserJock 10:39
LaserJockumm, well, uhhh10:40
LaserJockI'm getting there10:40
LaserJockI'm pretty happy with the introduction and getting started chapters10:40
LaserJockI think trappist could work his magic there10:40
mdkeso, packaging guide and server guide would appear to be good targets for trappist and other like minded magic-workers10:41
mdkethe desktop guide is looking good, I think. How about kubuntu stuff? <-- jjesse10:41
LaserJockI was supposed to get help from other MOTUs etc. but that hasn't shown up. I think I'll have to brute force it :(10:41
trappistI've already been busy on serverguide.  I can make time for packaging guide once LaserJock's got it stable.10:41
mdketrappist, any idea which chapters are missing from serverguide? it's nearly there, right?10:42
LaserJockok, so I wanted to bring up status reports in relation to this10:42
trappistyeah, it is.  some network-config stuff, a lot of email stuff and maybe some firewall stuff still needs work iirc10:42
mdkeLaserJock, what's on your mind?10:43
trappistoh and wireless.10:43
LaserJockok, I think all the docs should have status reports, and we should be using them for this stuff10:43
trappistI totally agree.10:43
LaserJockI'm not sure exactly what I need to do that10:44
mdkeLaserJock, we've been getting better at status reports recently. they are generally up to date, I think. BUT there is one major problem10:44
trappistthe serverguide has one that seems pretty up to date and it's been very useful to me, looking for stuff to work on10:44
mdkeif you take a look at http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/status/sg-report.html, you'll see that far too many sections have tags10:44
=== dsas [n=dean@host86-143-88-74.range86-143.btcentralplus.com] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
mdkeeven the really minor sub-sub-sub sections have them10:44
mdkewhich is really confusing10:44
LaserJockI agree10:44
trappistmdke: what about a tree-view status report, then?10:45
mdkewe could write up a wiki page about status tags10:45
mdketrappist, that would rock. no idea how to do it10:45
trappisthow are these status reports generated?10:45
mdketrappist, in the Makefile, in a similar way to the html previews10:46
trappistI'll look into that and see if I can make it happen10:46
LaserJockok, so looking at the Projects wiki, I don't see links to many of the Kubuntu doc status reports or the packaging guide and style guide10:46
mdkeI would tend to prioritise that quite low10:46
mdkemaybe even dapper+1, if we only have 3 weeks left10:46
trappistyeah10:47
LaserJockmdke: so do I need to tweak the Makefile to generate a status report?10:47
mdkeLaserJock, you may have to add an entry for the packaging guide yeah10:47
LaserJockok10:47
mdkeLaserJock, and you'll need status tags in the doc, if you haven't got them already10:47
LaserJockI've got 1 so far for trappist ;-)10:48
LaserJockbut I'll go through and add the rest10:48
mdkecool10:48
mdkethe various tags are at the bottom of the Projects wiki page10:48
LaserJockok, so I guess I'll put "review" when I'm ready for some word nazi action?10:49
mdkethat's it10:49
LaserJockk, I'll get it done ASAP10:49
mdkeokies. next issue10:50
mdke Screenshots? How many and for what docs? How will the UI Freeze affect them?10:50
LaserJockok, so that was for Madpilot kinda10:50
LaserJockI noticed there was some discussion about including screenshots in the user guides10:50
=== mdke nods
mdkeplaceholders need to be in before string freeze, but they can be taken/updated after that, if things change before UI Freeze.10:51
LaserJockyeah, and they wouldn't be translated ...10:51
trappistI think nobody should be taking screenshots until after the ui freeze10:51
LaserJockshould we make a list of screenshots we need for each doc? maybe on a wiki?10:52
trappistso there won't be any wasted effort, and we should have time then, due to the string freeze10:52
mdkeLaserJock, they should just be inserted into the document, in my opinion. then they can be taken later, as trappist says10:52
LaserJockI was just thinking that the authors could put up a list of screenshots (that need to be done) for each doc and then people could attach them. It might go a little faster that way10:54
LaserJockjust a thought10:54
=== LaserJock notes the silence. Must have been a grand though ;-)
LaserJockthought10:55
mdkeit might work. But making a list of screenshots is not a lot slower than adding placeholders into the doc directly10:55
mdkeslower/faster *10:55
LaserJockmdke: I mean after the placeholders are in10:56
trappistmdke: but looking at a list is faster than looking for placeholders10:56
mdkeah sure10:56
mdkeyes, agreed10:56
mdkewe should have plenty of time to do that after the strings are frozen, as trappist says10:56
LaserJockI was thinking that way that the author could solicit screenshots ;-)10:56
mdkeyeah, good plan, my bad10:56
LaserJockok, so we use placeholders until after the UI Freeze, right?10:57
mdkethat's right10:57
LaserJockok, next item?10:58
mdke Do we have any prioritization of wiki pages (cleanup) that should be done before Dapper is released?10:58
mdkeBurgwork, good item for you if you're around10:58
LaserJockI was just thinking that maybe some wiki pages need to be prioritized for the release10:58
trappistdo we even have an unprioritized list?10:58
mdketrappist, CategoryCleanup10:59
LaserJockor https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WikiToDo maybe10:59
trappistholy crap that's a lot of wikis11:00
trappisthow does stuff get onto/off of that list?11:00
LaserJockyou fix it ;-)11:00
trappistI can get on that11:00
LaserJockat the bottom of the page is usually the list of categories a page belongs to11:01
mdkeyeah, just delete the reference to CategoryCleanup once it's clean :)11:01
trappistgot it.11:02
mdketrappist, for future word-nazi-ing reference, you call them "wiki pages" rather than "wikis"11:02
trappistcheck.11:02
mdke"This wiki page is a guide to etc"11:02
LaserJockanyway, I could be totally wrong, but I thought that maybe we need to make sure that all the most important wiki pages are ready for dapper11:02
Burgworkwe are looking for a list of priority pages?11:02
trappistI dunno if I can maintain a 10-a-day pace until release, so yeah I guess prioritization will be helpful11:02
mdkebut LaserJock's item is a valid one11:02
BurgworkBinaryDriverHowto is badly in need of a rewrite11:03
mdkea number of things will need updating for dapper11:03
mdkecodecs have changed packages etc11:03
Burgworkwe need to decide what to do with DVD support in Dapper11:03
LaserJockarggh11:04
mdkeheh11:04
mdkethat is rather waiting on upstream tbh11:04
=== mgalvin has to run, will catch the log later
Burgworkdvd support has not been ported to gstreamer0.1011:04
mgalvinlater guys11:04
mdkeBurgwork, it's been ported, but some features are missing11:04
Burgworkugh11:04
mdkemenus, subtitles are missing11:04
Burgworkall I know is there is not a package yet available. I call that not ported11:04
mdkeapparently there is a chance of it getting fixed for dapper, but only a chance11:04
=== raphink [n=raphink@ubuntu/member/raphink] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
mdkeI was led to believe there is a package11:05
LaserJockI think so11:05
Burgworkhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/PageHits <-- this is a good guideline for figuring out what needs to be done11:05
mdkegood point11:05
LaserJocknice11:05
trappistgreat link11:05
BurgworkI will create a subpage of WikiTodo called CheckedForDapper and list some that need to be checked11:06
Burgworkonce someone has checked a page, sign off on it on that page11:06
=== stevelab [n=steve@c-66-30-219-182.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
mdkemaybe even a category?11:06
Burgworkpage is easier, we don't need extra categories, IMHO11:06
mdkealright, if you don't mind doing the list11:07
BurgworkI will do it tonight11:07
LaserJockway cool11:07
mdkecool11:07
LaserJockok, so I just wanted to briefly mention that I was able to get the Ubuntu docs to register with doc-base11:08
mdkeyay11:08
LaserJockbut I haven't done the Kubuntu docs yet11:08
LaserJockit looks like they should be easier11:09
mdkeyep, they are all under /usr/share/doc/kde/en/HTML/kubuntu11:09
mdkewill be hell to localise, stupid kde11:09
LaserJockso I just have to add the proper control files and tweak the packaging11:10
LaserJockand then build a test kubuntu-docs package11:10
LaserJockman they take a long time to build11:10
mdkedo you want a user account on our server?11:11
mdkethe builds are fast11:11
mdkein fact they should be fast on any reasonable computer11:11
LaserJockperhaps that might be useful11:11
mdkeok11:12
LaserJockwhat every you want. If I could use my dual core iMac maybe it would be faster ;-)11:12
mdkeheh11:12
mdkeany other business, can we wrap things up?11:12
trappistI got nothin11:13
dsasquick question: I take it that will there be a meeting after dapper release to discuss the next cycle?11:13
LaserJockmany, many meetings ;-)11:14
dsassounds fun ;)11:14
