MadpilotOK, that's very odd - my LP karma has just gone from around 40 to 2139 - huh?08:35
robotgeekMadpilot: i'm at 40K08:36
Madpilotwow08:36
robotgeek40850, trappist was close to 50K 08:36
MadpilotI'm just not sure why the sudden huge jump - all I've done in the last few weeks is file a few bugs :P08:37
robotgeekBug Management 4985, Specification Tracking 3586508:37
Burgundaviamine is 80k08:37
Madpilotwhere does LP give the breakdown of where you earned your karma?08:37
robotgeekMadpilot: go to your page, and overview Karma08:38

jsgotangco:)03:23
jjesseyou like that :)03:29
=== highvoltage [n=Jono@ubuntu/member/highvoltage] has left #ubuntu-doc []
jsgotangcojjesse: i wouldn't say i like it but if its needed, so be it03:32
jjessei guess it came out of my earlier rant about another possible documentation project03:35
jsgotangcothere's an wiki team at LP under the doc team, but so far, its more of a social networking team heh03:37
jjessei think there should be03:38
jjessesomethng more then social networking03:38
jsgotangcoit would be nice if they can receive wiki bugs03:38
=== lakin [n=lakin@dsl-hill-66-18-228-60-cgy.nucleus.com] has joined #ubuntu-doc
mdkethat would be limited to wish-list bugs only, tbh. If you have time to file a bug about a minor error, you have time to fix it yourself. As for wishlist things, we need to work on pages like CategoryCleanup, WikiToDo, etc03:40
=== Kyral [n=Chris@ubuntu/member/kyral] has joined #ubuntu-doc
jsgotangcoi'd really say moin is hurting the wiki in terms of management and presentation03:42
mdkewhy?03:42
jsgotangcooh i have my reasons, i'm used to the mediawiki way and it does things better03:43
jsgotangcoi use it at work and for a huge au portal and it does wonders03:43
mdkebut what are your reasons?03:43
jsgotangcolike i said, i prefer the mediawiki workflow of management03:44
jjessei don't know much about wikis to be honest, but why the decision to use moin over a different type of wiki?03:44
jsgotangcoit used to be zwiki but that's a forgettable episode of ubuntu wiki03:45
mdkepreferring mediawiki is not a reason that moin is hurting our wiki03:49
jsgotangcobah just look at wikipedia03:49
jsgotangcoim not saying we change it03:49
jsgotangcoit is a personal preference03:49
jsgotangcowhen did personal opinion become taboo here?03:50
jsgotangco:P03:50

jjessethat was wierd03:58
=== mgalvin [n=mgalvin@ubuntu/member/mgalvin] has joined #ubuntu-doc
mdkei thought I was saying something conciliatory03:58
jjesselike i said before i don't know much about wikis, but does each wiki program have different formating "language"?03:59
mdkeyeah03:59
mdkeit's a pain, each wiki's formatting tends to vary a bit03:59
jjessethat seems a little silly04:00
mdkeagreed. That's what happens when projects develop individually though04:01
trappistmaybe it's because I've gotten used to it, but I really like trac's wiki markup04:17

qgilhi there, a comment about installing Java in Dapper: http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/ch03s02.html05:33
qgilwouldn't be easier to just recomment to install j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin and dependencies with synaptic?05:33
qgilhi Burgwork  :)05:34
mdkeqgil, that is the breezy guide. But yes, you are right05:34
=== jjesse [n=jjesse@mail.ftpb.com] has joined #ubuntu-doc
qgil(sorry, I always get confused)05:34
mdkeI'll make a note to have a look at it for dapper05:35
qgilok, thank you05:35
mdkebut i think we'll try and include information to get a full java installation up too05:35
qgilas far as you state that most users will be happy with the mozilla plugin, why not05:36
qgilok, I will come back whenever I find more possible improvements, thank you for your work05:36

LaserJocktheCore: hi08:48
theCorebonjour LaserJock :)08:48
theCoreLaserJock: how the PG is going?08:57
LaserJockwell, it's going08:57
LaserJockI think I'm going to get rid of the "Advanced" chapter for Dapper08:57
=== LaserJock_ [n=laserjoc@ubuntu/member/laserjock] has joined #ubuntu-doc
theCorelol, obviously we need someone advanced to do this chapter08:59
LaserJockwell, I just need more time.08:59
LaserJockI'd rather focus on getting the other stuff in better shape08:59
theCoreLaserJock: do you use VI for editing ?09:04
LaserJockg/vim09:04
theCorehmm, that why my indenting is not the same ... 09:05
LaserJocktheCore: what are you using?09:06
theCoreEmacs09:06
LaserJocksometimes I think my indenting is weird. I'm still learning vim (started out with emacs)09:06
theCorewhy the switch?09:07
theCoreI switched to emacs from vim 09:07
theCoreto me, emacs seem more powerful, but I don't want to start another editor war here 09:09
LaserJocklol, no flames here09:10
LaserJockemacs just seem like *too* much09:10
LaserJockI just want an editor09:10
theCoredo you know if there is a DocBook mode for Emacs?09:11
theCoreor, I have to stick with the SGML mode ?09:12
LaserJockI think there is only the sgml mode09:14
LaserJockI also seem faster in vim because it uses more regular keys instead of Ctrl or Meta everythin09:16
LaserJockbut there are still some things that I can do much faster with emacs (some data processing stuff I do)09:17
theCorein vim, instead, you have to switch between the editing mode to the command mode, if time you want to move your cursur09:19
theCorecursor*09:19
theCores/if/each/09:19
LaserJockwell, I usually use the arrow keys so it isn't a big deal, but getting used to the different modes is something I'm still working on 09:20
theCorehowever, you can use those nice regex :)09:20
LaserJockMy goal is to be able to use both pretty well. I like both and I use both.09:21
LaserJockbut so far I haven't found much that I do in emacs that I can't do in vim so they seem pretty comparable as far as "power" to me09:21
theCoreI use vi when I want edit config file, it works better than emacs09:22
theCorefor most peoples, vi as the same power as nano (same thing with emacs) 09:23
theCorethey just don't use all the shortcut09:24
theCorenobody does actually09:24
LaserJockI usually use nano for config files and quick edits, g/vim for docs , and emacs for data processing stuff (mostly since I'm not very fast with vim yet)09:25
theCoreI wonder if a dot-file-exchange-o-thon exist ...09:34
trappistthere's a lot of .vimrc snippets at vim.org09:55
trappistand lots of people publish theirs where google can find them09:55
LaserJocktrappist: do you use gvim at all?09:57
trappistnah, just vim09:57
trappistI do like gvim on windows though09:57
LaserJockI'm using gvim in OSX but for some reason it isn't loading the xml ftplugin09:58
trappistwhere did you put it, and is it in gvim's runtimepath09:59
LaserJockwell, that's the thing. It is fine in vim and it seems to see settings in .vim but it just isn't loading in gvim09:59
LaserJockit might be just a bug10:00
LaserJockyep, it seems to be my OSX port. I installed gvim from fink and it works fine10:02
theCoreLaserJock: I got to go now, I will probably mail my diff later10:11
robotgeekdamn, missed jjesse10:12
robotgeekanyways, later10:14
