[12:04] LaserJock, how do I get the key for that repo? [12:05] also: [12:05] The following packages have unmet dependencies: bzrtools: Depends: bzr (= 0.8~200604201740-0ubuntu1) but 0.8~200603240905 is to be installed [12:05] E: Broken packages [12:05] k, just a sec [12:06] mdke: I think the key is at http://people.ubuntu.com/~jbailey/snapshot/bzr/Release.gpg [12:08] any idea how I add it? [12:09] argh, I can't remember [12:11] mdke: apt-key add Release.gpg [12:12] att@hudson:~$ sudo apt-key add Release.gpg [12:12] gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. [12:13] heh [12:14] can you at least install "apt-get install bzr"? [12:15] LaserJock, yes. [12:20] done that [12:24] hang on [12:25] docbook-xml comes with some black and white admon images [12:25] ok, well it looks like the bzrtools and bzr are not in sync or something [12:25] but I don't know that I need bzrtool and I could build it in ~/ if I need it I think [12:25] mdke: that would be nice [12:27] /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/images [12:27] except there appears to be a note.svg missing [12:28] or at least, a black and white one [12:31] let's use the light bulb for note too === mdke goes off to try [12:33] what program can use a svg? not gimp, apparently [12:33] inkscape? [12:33] downloading [12:38] using the same icons for note/tip and caution/important is kinda silly though [12:38] the reader is like "well why tell me about both then?!" [12:39] we could maybe cut that bit in the preface, if we do the same for colour icons, I guess [12:39] is there actually any difference between a "tip" and a "note" anyway?? [12:42] not sure :-) === jeffsch [n=jeff@216.210.98.99] has joined #ubuntu-doc [12:43] jeffsch will know [12:43] "tip" should be something that may or may not related the the text directly but can be useful such as such as an alternate command to use... "note" should be some that relates to the text directly such as NOTE: this may not work on version 5 [12:43] jeffsch, what's the difference between a tip and a note [12:44] mgalvin, ah [12:44] yes, that makes sense [12:44] what mgalvin said :) [12:44] :) [12:44] so, bearing that in mind, is it better to use the same icon for tip and note, or merge them in preface.xml? [12:44] or, get another icon :/ [12:45] i would get another icon [12:45] i dunno where from though [12:45] hmm === mgalvin pokes around for an icon [12:46] i like these black and white ones from docbook-xsl, but they are missing a note.svg in the same style [12:47] what about the icons here: http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/conventions.html === theCore [n=alex@toronto-HSE-ppp4206395.sympatico.ca] has joined #ubuntu-doc [12:47] jeffsch, they are not in black and white [12:47] and as colour icons, they aren't transparent either [12:47] can't we just black and white the ones we have? [12:48] wait, yea, just make them b/w === mdke doesn't know. He can't even get inscape to save images as pngs [12:48] gimp [12:48] we need a burger ;-) [12:48] that is, use the gimp :) [12:48] it doesn't seem to support svg files [12:50] http://www.simplifiedcomplexity.com/images/note-bw.png [12:50] hmm [12:50] we need them smaller too, forgot to say [12:51] how small? [12:51] i was thinking 48x48 maybe [12:51] it is i think [12:51] so it is [12:52] http://www.simplifiedcomplexity.com/images/tip-bw.png [12:52] try warning [12:53] http://www.simplifiedcomplexity.com/images/warning-bw.png [12:54] that doesn't look too bad [12:54] the docbook-xsl ones are a lot cleaner, but these might be ok [12:54] http://www.simplifiedcomplexity.com/images/caution-bw.png [12:55] ok, thanks. I'll build a pdf [12:56] those are nice to, whatever works [12:56] np [12:56] maybe there's a fop setting for producing b&w output only [12:57] ah, they need to be quite a bit smaller [12:58] gimp -> image -> scale image [12:58] http://mdke.org/ubuntu/desktopguide-bw.pdf [12:58] but I think they will look bad if smaller, esp. note.png [12:59] I think we should maybe make a note image based on the clean docbook ones, and use those [12:59] http://mdke.org/ubuntu/admon [01:00] (important.svg is a duplicate of caution.svg, and note.svg is a duplicate of tip.svg [01:00] aha === mdke finds gimp-svg [01:06] there might be some at openclipart.org [01:07] argh. I resized the svg's which are transparent, and it is giving them a black background [01:08] lemme try with inkscape [01:08] what size should they be? [01:08] I did 24 [01:09] k [01:09] they are definitely transparent, but it is fop that is giving them a black background [01:10] just give em a white b/g? would that interfere with anything?

[06:32] this is already pretty hands on by the looks of things [06:32] lots of love and review [06:33] A guide to style needs style adjustments? [06:33] naw probably needs more style tips [06:33] yeah, it's not done yet [06:33] read through it and you will see the missing bits [06:34] ah, just spotted a Todo [06:34] jeffsch, we need to include some things about how we use some docbook tags too, I think [06:34] yes definitely [06:35] things like , xreflabel and procedure etc [06:35] what we planned before is the styleguide becomes a chapter of a whole docteam manual [06:35] http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/styleguide/en/styleguide-docbook-style.html [06:35] the serverguide and desktopguides are miles apart, for example, when it comes to things like installing programs etc [06:36] one says "Do this: apt-get install X", the other says "install package X (see ). [06:36] it would be nice to have consistency on things like that [06:37] yeah, that section would be perfect [06:37] Surely the problem with writing the style guide is that I haven't a clue what is needed [06:38] Qrious: http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/styleguide/en/terminology-2.html [06:39] doh! a typo on that page! "do not sue the punctuation in your text" === mdke pricks up his ears === jeffsch looks for "this is not legal advice" boilerplate [06:41] ye gods, this style guide is basically "how to write wiki documentation for dummies" then [06:43] heh will i take that as good news or not? [06:43] i even hit LWN by announcing that guide [06:43] Well like I said, it's very hands on. It's everything you need, and more [06:44] It's a commendable effort, but the format is intimidating [06:46] i agree [06:46] The big thing about the docs system right now as far as I can tell is accessibility [06:47] Loads of people ask questions in the forum simply because they can't track down the entry that relates to them [06:48] I agree with the point about semicolons btw, nobody seems to know what they're for anymore [06:52] Thing is though, I'm at the stage where I should be taking notes from the style guide rather than making entries, since I don't know some of the terminology, I'm totally unfamiliar with Docbook and I haven't been around to see what the docteam are looking for [06:52] I'll definitely have a look at the WikiToDo though [06:53] feel free to dive in anytime [06:53] until the time you're really soaked [06:55] I'll probably be in over my head before long [06:55] just ask here if you need any help [06:55] yeah Madpilot used to say that before [06:56] now he's a certified docbook geek [06:56] even managed to finish a whole guide with mdke ;) [06:56] Perhaps one day I can attain a similar geekdom [06:56] one day [06:56] its never too late [06:58] What about management of the structure and searchability of the wiki, how & when is that being done? [06:59] mdke: I'm awake! [06:59] phew [06:59] now check your email [06:59] Qrious, we're about to move the wiki documentation to its own wiki. As for searchability, no progress has yet been made to improve the moin search function [07:01] hold on, does xchat highlight posts that mention your name? cunning] [07:01] Qrious: if you'd like a docbook success story, i only learned docbook here around late 2004 but im not really an advanced docbook person but i got to work with the UN for some projects involving FOSS and docbook [07:01] coolness [07:04] I'll have a go at kickstarting a few of these general guides sometime [07:05] mdke: I'm on it ;-) [07:05] LaserJock, thanks [07:06] catch you guys later, and thanks for the info [07:09] LaserJock, insane. It's cheaper to ship it to me than to you [07:09] i think we'll go with you anyway, it'll be faster, right? [07:10] huh [07:11] LaserJock: i hope you're not smuggling your lasers to london [07:12] LaserJock, oh no, there are cheaper shipping options, cool [07:17] ok, off it goes [07:20] mdke: ok, I was getting worried [07:20] jsgotangco: no smuggling here. I haven't even been to Canada even :-) [07:22] lol [07:24] mdke: so how much was the shipping? and what method? === jjesse [n=jjesse@mail.ftpb.com] has joined #ubuntu-doc [08:06] LaserJock, 7 dollars or so? [08:06] actually, it was 6 dollars to me, despite the fact that it involved one more aeroplane [08:07] crazy americans [08:08] mdke: yeah, it is coming from the East Coast [08:08] oh, i see [08:08] mdke: what method? UPS ground? [08:08] erm [08:08]
