mgalvinmdke: the new web site looks good08:08
mgalvini see we seem to share the same love of grey :)08:09
LaserJockmgalvin: URL?08:10

LaserJockdoh08:13
mgalvinhehe08:13
mgalvinhe bloged about it on planet08:13
mdkemgalvin: :) I copied the design from an OSWD template08:14
jjessegrey is so boring, use kubuntu blue instead :)08:16
LaserJockI like the grey08:16

mgalvinhaha :)08:33
robotgeekLaserJock: pong08:38
LaserJockrobotgeek: did I ping?08:38
robotgeekLaserJock: sure, scripting is always fun. I'm reading more about unicode, so that I can be more useful08:38
LaserJockI was thinking it might be nice to make a single script that helps the doc team out08:39
robotgeeki am at a friends place, so network access is intermittent for me (stealing)08:40
LaserJockand then maybe we wouldn't have to bug mdke all the time about how to do stuff08:40
mdkewhat did you have in mind?08:40
LaserJockI was thinking of the validating, stripping the xml to plain text, maybe pot generation. I have to look into some of it08:41
LaserJockthe nice thing about doing it in python is that it is very portable08:42
mdkewell, making pots wouldn't be too hard.08:42
mdkewhy stripping to plain text?08:42
LaserJockcause I saw it was like 3 line in my Python Cookbook ;-)08:42
robotgeekvalidating is one command anyways, converting to pot is also one command08:42
mdkewell, we have a validation script that works well.08:42
mdkeand we've got those scripts for processing translations08:43
robotgeeki've been putting some effort into learning what unicode is all about :)08:43
robotgeekhopefully, today i will finish the svg generation script08:43
LaserJockI mean, for sure I'll have to think of some better examples, but validating (and checking for well formmedness) is very easy with python08:44
mdkeLaserJock: you don't like our validation script?08:44
LaserJockmdke: it's not that. I was thinking of just putting everything together into a single script08:45
mdkethe problem is, so far we're talking about totally different functions, so you generally wouldn't want to run them together08:45
mdkeand the translation scripts call the validation script now 08:45
LaserJockwhy not? something like "docscript validate" validates and "docscript translate" would do the translations08:46
LaserJockI'll have to see if I can make a mockup or something08:46
robotgeekvery easy with bash too :)08:46
LaserJockI probably won't have anything before dapper is out08:46
LaserJockrobotgeek: yes, but my point is portability. I guess that isn't an issue for you guys08:47
mdke./validate.sh validates, and translate.sh does the translations, i am not seeing the difference yet08:47
LaserJockI work from OS X and Windows all the time08:47
robotgeekah, okay. cygwin not work?08:47
robotgeekOS X should not be an issue08:47
=== lloydinho [n=andreas@rosinante.egmont-kol.dk] has joined #ubuntu-doc
LaserJockrobotgeek: I'm not a big cygwin fan08:47
LaserJockand OS X has it's issues08:47
robotgeeksubprocess.popen08:48
LaserJockall I'm saying is that I'd like to see if I could improve upon what we currently have08:48
LaserJockrobotgeek: pyxml08:48
robotgeekLaserJock: you want to implement what in pyxml? validation?08:49
LaserJockrobotgeek: yeah, it is like 2 lines08:49
robotgeekreally. hmm08:49
LaserJockok, so let me list some of the things for XML from the python cookbook.08:50
robotgeekis that book online? :)08:50
LaserJockchecking XML well-formedness, counting tags, extracting text, autodetectinl XML encoding,  validating, filtering elements and attributes belonging to a given namespace08:51
LaserJockrobotgeek: I don't think so, I bought it from Barnes & Noble08:51
LaserJockI don't know, I was just impressed and thought that perhaps some stuff would be usefull to the doc team08:52
LaserJockIt isn't even a brain dump at this point ;-)08:53
=== robotgeek sees safari bookshelf, access univ network
robotgeekcool, i'll look thru it. 08:54
robotgeekanyways, i gotta run now. work a bit on the svg thing so that i can show madpilot too08:54

cbx33will do10:00
LaserJockdo either of you know Docbook XML?10:00
cbx33yes10:00
Bluekujayep, mdke told me about it10:00
cbx33I used it for creating a man page for LTSP10:00
LaserJockok, so https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/GettingStarted should get you started10:00
cbx33thank you10:00
LaserJockI've got a meeting for about 30-45 min, but I'll be back if you need more info10:01

cbx33hi mdke 11:20

LaserJockmdke: cbx33 and Bluekuja are interested in writing docs for Edubuntu so I suggested they come over to the doc team11:21
=== Kyral [n=kyral@HyperDream.hamlin.clarkson.edu] has joined #ubuntu-doc
LaserJockmdke: they are currently working (I'm helping a little bit) on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdubuntuSchoolAdvocacy/11:22
cbx33we're hoping to have a solid draft by thursday11:22
cbx33which I will then be converting into DocBook format11:22
mdkecool11:23
mdkeYou might want to talk to a few others about it, because there are various groups working on edubuntu documentation, I think11:23
cbx33take a look and if you have any feedback it'd be greatfully received11:23
cbx33yes there are11:23
cbx33our final aim for this is to produce a printed pamphlet11:23
cbx33that can be sent out to schools to try to raise ubuntu/edubuntu awareness11:23
mdkeok. I don't have the time to take a serious look at it, but send it to the mailing list and I'm sure loads of people will take a look.11:24
mdkelooks like a cool idea11:24
cbx33excellent thank you mdke 11:24
