cbx33the doc laid out I'm expecting to be about 8 A5 pages12:04
Burgworknot good enough for printed12:04
Burgwork8 is a lot of pages12:04
cbx33i know12:04
LaserJockdoes ccbysa2.5 require full text, I think it might be just a link or something12:04
LaserJockcbx33: I really think you need to watch the screenshots12:05
Burgworkhmm, I don't know12:05
LaserJockcbx33: they should be shrunk down12:05
Burgworkscreenshots need not be full screen12:05
Burgworkthey should be, at most, about 4cm square12:05
cbx33Burgwork, that was the plan12:05
cbx33see the mockups :p12:05
LaserJockBurgwork: do you guys up there use metric?12:06
cbx33yup12:06
cbx33you imperial nuts :p12:06
cbx33I could never get the hang of it :p12:06
cbx33makes my maths harder12:06
BurgworkLaserJock, in Canada. Officially yes. We are a wierd hybrid, in practice12:06
LaserJockI thought maybe it would be half-and-half since Canada seems to like it both ways12:06
Burgworkdistance in metric, weight and height in imperial12:07
cbx33and when I'm doing non-linear differential equations :p12:07
cbx33yeh we do a half and half thing too :p12:07
cbx33but I normally measure length etc in mm/cm12:07
Burgworkyou buy groceries by the pound but bulk food by the 100g and gass by the litre12:07
LaserJockI'm used to using metric (or really SI) because I'm a scientist12:07
cbx33LaserJock, swat I thought12:07
cbx33anyway we digress12:08
LaserJockbut I don't use it a lot for daily use, I have no idea what I weigh in kg, etc.12:08
=== cbx33 weighs about 70
LaserJockthat sounds better than lbs.12:08
=== cbx33 wieghs about 10.5 stone
cbx33no idea what that is in lbs12:09
LaserJockBurgwork: did you see cbx33's patch412:09
cbx33LaserJock, was it ok?12:09
Burgworkyep, looks godo12:09
LaserJockI see a typo12:10
cbx33ooop12:11
Burgworkapply the patch and then fix the typos12:11
BurgworkI saw a grammar error too12:11
cbx33oh dear....12:12
=== cbx33 gives up patching for the night
Burgworkit was mine, actually12:12
BurgworkI missed a comma12:12
cbx33oh.... phew12:13
LaserJockcommited12:13
cbx33I only checked the manage section12:13
cbx33:D12:13
cbx33think i can get commit access soon :p12:13
LaserJockscare -> scarce and added a comma12:13
Burgworkcbx33, have you applied for access?12:16
cbx33jscotango posted about it a while ago12:16
mhzLaserJock: so, any special idea for articles?12:16
cbx33and people asked for me to submit more patches :p12:16
=== Amaranth [n=amaranth@ubuntu/member/amaranth] has joined #edubuntu
LaserJockmhz: what articles?12:22
mhzLaserJock: iirc, you said something like "mhz, why dont you write an article?"12:23
LaserJockmhz: hmm, I don't remember12:25
LaserJockbut that's not anything new12:25
mhzhehehe, indeed12:25
cbx33are my patches ok?12:27
mhzLaserJock: no worries, it was lucasvo 12:27
mhzsorry12:27

cbx33lucasvo, wants articles for the ubuntu journal I would think12:27
mhzlucasvo: may 19 11:41:18 <lucasvo>       mhz: are you willing to write an article?12:28
LaserJockcbx33: did you svn up?12:29
cbx33no12:30
cbx33i don;t have access12:30
LaserJockcbx33: no, update your repo12:31

LaserJockit's not to bad yet :-)12:42

BurgundaviaLaserJock, do you like the idea of merging the tools section with the educational apps section?01:43
=== Rondom [n=Rondom@mrbg-d9b964a1.pool.mediaWays.net] has joined #edubuntu
LaserJockBurgundavia: yeah, but I'd like to see what we want to do with the tools in general01:44
Burgundavialet me merge and commit and we can look then01:45
LaserJockok, cool01:47
Burgundaviaalright 305301:48
Burgundaviaremembering of course that the main audience will not read this through yelp01:49
LaserJockack, I don't think I did commit his last patch :/01:49
LaserJocklet me do that first01:50
Burgundaviatoo late01:50
LaserJockwell, I'll do it now and then we can have a look see01:51
LaserJockok, so svn up and lets look at this thing01:53
LaserJockbtw, I think we need to do some spell checking01:53
LaserJockfor some reason it is almost impossible for me to get spell checkers in OS X01:54
Burgundaviawe do01:54
Burgundaviaugh, this whole applications section01:55
=== Amaranth [n=amaranth@ubuntu/member/amaranth] has joined #edubuntu
LaserJockBurgundavia: yeah, so did you want to have like a para for each app area?01:58
Burgundaviaright now I am doing the basics01:58
Amaranthany updates on SoC stuff?01:59
Amaranthi'm about ready to give up on the willow author and just write my own01:59
Amaranthi'd have to fork willow and change it anyway01:59
BurgundaviaAmaranth, I have heard nothing01:59
Burgundaviahonestly, there isn't that much code their01:59
Burgundavias/their/there01:59
Amaranthno02:00
Amaranthit's very compact magic02:00
Burgundaviahowever, the concept is really good02:01
Burgundaviaone key piece that might be difficult is some kind of a learning mode02:01
Burgundaviabasically display the page within a frame and have the teacher click on a button to categorize it02:01
Burgundaviahmm, then again, that probably isn't too hard02:02
Amarantha firefox extension would be useful02:02
BurgundaviaI would make it server side02:02
Burgundaviaremember that most education environments are mixed02:02
Amarantheh?02:02
Amaranthoh, do some magic with an iframe02:03
Burgundaviabasically it would be a proxy02:03
Burgundaviayep02:03
BurgundaviaLaserJock, svn up02:05
LaserJockBurgundavia: k02:13
LaserJockBurgundavia: ack, I've got to get home, I'll be on later02:29

lucasvofor e.g. have a german section?02:39
juliuxlucasvo, i think so02:40
juliuxlucasvo, but if there is a print version i think it is a lot of work to have it multi lingual02:40
lucasvojuliux: no, just print them all into one magazine02:40
juliuxlucasvo, puh02:41

LaserJockok, I have perhaps a suggestion for the Applications section07:33
LaserJockI still like the idea of seperating the desktop apps (which are no different than an Ubuntu desktop I don't think) and the educational apps07:34
LaserJockso I was thinking that under Applications we could have a sectional called "Edubuntu desktop" and a section called "Educational"07:35
LaserJockand we could make Edubuntu Desktop more narrative and less list like07:36

cbx33what would help.edubuntu be edited by?08:44
Laser_awaycbx33: read wiki.ubuntu.com/BetterWikiDocs08:58
Laser_awaycbx33: my basic understanding is that anything we want moved to help.ubuntu.com should have CategoryDocumentation at the bottom08:59
Laser_awaycbx33: I think ogra was thinking of that list of pages you were doing09:01
lucasvoLaser_away: do you think that's reosanable?09:03
lucasvobecause then people would look for articles which are on help-wiki in the normal wiki, wont find them and create new ones09:03
lucasvoI would rather just mark the wiki articles with some marker and then have an editor team who copies them and looks that there is no rubbish in them.09:04
lucasvocbx33: what do you think?09:05
lucasvoah- 09:06
Laser_awaylucasvo: all user documentation wiki pages are moving to help.ubuntu.com09:10
Laser_awaywiki.ubuntu.com will only have developer documenation, specs, etc.09:10
lucasvoyeah, I just finished reading the spec09:10
lucasvoI think best would be, if one would do it like this:09:10
lucasvohelp.ubuntu.com/wiki the actual wiki09:11
lucasvohelp.ubuntu.com the documentation 09:11
Laser_awayyes, that is the way it is09:11
lucasvobut I think help.ubuntu.com/ should NOT be a wiki09:11
Laser_awayit isn't09:13
lucasvooh, so I misunderstood this09:15
