=== jenda [n=jenda@unaffiliated/jenda] has joined #ubuntu-doc === poningru [n=poningru@ip24-250-215-175.ga.at.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc [12:37] LaserJock: some edubuntu pages have appeared on the wiki and aren't tagged, can you remind Pete to do so, assuming I've understood correctly that edubuntu documentation is to go to the new wiki [12:41] I'll let him know, to be honest I don't really know what is going on with Edubuntu wiki pages === mdke throws hands up [12:44] hehe [12:44] could be I'm just out of the loop [12:45] there are LTSP docs without it too [12:45] just give him a smack [12:46] OMG, the "s/apt-get/aptitude/g" is still at it [12:52] i missed most of that, what was the driving force to undo all the apt-get and make it generic? [12:53] mgalvin: same reasons we do it in our documentation. It is simpler because it doesn't involve forcing a choice of package manager on the reader [12:54] ok, i will not stir it up now :-/ [12:55] mgalvin: you don't agree? [12:56] mdke: i find that the ability to copy paste commands for new users far outweighs annoying a few elitists who are smart enough to use what they want if they don't like apt [12:57] hmmm.... it seems to me that "aptitude install package" simply calls apt-get anyway [12:57] mgalvin: what about people who don't like opening a terminal at all? [12:57] they can't copy and paste [12:57] and they are our primary user base [12:58] this is not just some religious dispute between apt-get and aptitude ;) [12:58] thats true, i haven't thought enough about a possible alternative "middle ground" solution... [12:59] "install package X" works nicely [12:59] jeffsch: apparently it is more sophisticated in its dependency handling, it installs Recommended or something, and remove orphans [01:01] it does, i am not saying i am against what has been done, i guess i am just a command line jockey... [01:01] ah. i wouldn't want to use aptitude then if it automatically installs Recommended [01:02] my same argument goes against my own to, if readers a smart enough to know the difference they will just type on the CLI [01:03] i haven't really used aptitude much, i never really liked it so i tend to be biased toward apt-get [01:03] mgalvin: that's the idea. Generally, if you see the desktop guide, we link to the chapter which describes how to use em all [01:03] so "Install package X from the Y repository (See Adding/Removing Programs)" [01:04] i should have my mom read the guide as a test case and see how far she gets :) [01:04] well, if it was just apt-get vs aptitude it wouldn't be a big deal [01:04] that would be *THE* test ;) [01:05] but there is apt-get aptitude synaptic adept g-a-i [01:05] we just simply can't get away with saying explicitly what to use without getting lots of people mad [01:06] or without it simply not being helpful [01:06] and having some guy running around the wiki s/apt-get/aptitude/g [01:06] yea i understand the problem, thats why i didn't want to stir it up :) [01:07] what would be nice if the links from in the docs/wiki open up a preferred installer [01:07] it's like explicitly telling people to use emacs to edit a file [01:08] well, we make an exception there [01:08] gedit is so good that we recommend it for editing [01:08] it might be useful to always specify at least one way of doing it... that way the unknowledgable user doesn't need to stop and go somewhere else and decide what app to use for installing [01:08] it's so far above any other editor... unlike apt-get/aptitude/etc [01:08] lol [01:08] the one's who know can use the one they've already decided to use [01:09] I'd dispute that, but for the new user I suppose ;-) [01:09] to mdke's gedit > * comment [01:09] jeffsch: I think even the unknowledgeable user will benefit from learning once how to install software [01:09] yes [01:10] jeffsch: that is exactly my concern, it is a distraction to have to go somewhere else to learn how to install instead of the info being inline [01:10] mgalvin: but you only really have to do it once or twice [01:10] and people don't get mad that you aren't using the "right" package manager :-) [01:11] mdke: that's true... but, (speaking for myself) i would prefer to get the app installed and play with it, then when i'm ready to learn the other install tools, i can go do that [01:11] although, sure in the long run it is beneficial, if they don't give up b/c users are lazy you know ;) [01:11] jeffsch: you're never going to though! ;) [01:11] :) [01:11] but above all else, it's a pain for us to go through every line of the guide and work out whether the app is in g-a-i or not [01:11] since some aren't, it made sense to use a nice generic option [01:12] mdke: but then i don't need to either... it's right there cut-and-paste [01:13] jeffsch: so what line would we use then? what about people who like synaptic or g-a-i? [01:13] then they can use synaptic or g-a-i [01:13] well, synaptic is also considered and "advanced tool" [01:13] so we'd be telling users by default to use the terminal? [01:13] dude we can't go down that road [01:14] and say "advanced users should use the UI" [01:14] your right, we can't just direct everyone to the CLI [01:14] use synaptic in graphical environments, and apt-get in command-line environments [01:14] does the server guide also use the generic install method? [01:14] no, but I think it should [01:15] jeffsch: then the developers get upset with us for ignoring their default package management tool (synaptic over gai) [01:15] see, i think for the desktop guide to stay off the CLI is ok, but the server guide should be CLI [01:15] mdke, rtfwp? [01:15] mgalvin: why? [01:15] we write for ubuntu users, not ubuntu developers [01:15] Burgwork: wikipage... was referring to the locoteam howto. Also, you should really use #ubuntu-locoteams [01:16] jeffsch: but ubuntu developers have made a cool app for the users [01:16] ah, yes, wiki pages [01:16] jeffsch: the developers write for the users too [01:16] LaserJock: almost anyone reading the "server" guide is going to have to hit the CLI to config the server anyway [01:16] I would agree with mgalvin [01:16] they are already advanced user if they are considering server stuff [01:16] mgalvin: yes, CLI of course, but I still think it should be application neutral, so they can choose whatever package manager they prefer. Especially for advanced users [01:16] that doesn't necessarily mean they shouldn't be aware of GUI tools [01:17] we are also trying to emphasize best practices with our guides and best practices for a server is no gui [01:17] but not all apps are in g-a-i, right? [01:17] Burgwork: sure, but the issue here is not GUI or no GUI, it is package manager neutral or not [01:17] Burgwork: perhaps, I guess it depends what kind of server [01:17] so for the server guide, we should still be neutral, so the reader can choose which non-UI package manager they like [01:18] jeffsch: right [01:18] if you're exploring around and want to see what you can put on your system, then gai sounds good [01:18] yeah, I've used it a few times [01:19] wasn't apt-get considered the preferred method at one point (a while ago)? [01:19] aptitude is preferred by many devs [01:19] mgalvin: we changed early in this release cycle for the Desktop Guide [01:19] true true === Burgwork just shuts up [01:20] Burgwork: does the Ubuntu Welcome Center chap read the mailing list btw? It'd be nice to have a thread about it [01:20] basically, it comes down to this, IMO, if we have to argue about it then I'm sure users will get confused. That is why I think going neutral allows us to be the most helpful while not taking sides [01:21] mdke, yes, I made him sign up [01:21] Burgwork: hehe. Good. I mailed JaneW today asking about what vision they had of the spec, and with some preliminary thoughts about it conflicting with the help center. [01:21] mdke, yep, did you see our discussion int eh backlog? [01:22] Burgwork: more or less. I don't think it's getting anywhere, the guy is tied to his spec [01:22] yep and that is a sad thing, because like I said to him, I really don't see a place for another app [01:23] LaserJock: yes your neutralness ;) [01:23] well, obviously others more important than us disagree === mgalvin is a huge futurama fan :) [01:23] you know JaneW is leaving? [01:23] no, i hadn't heard that. Bummer [01:23] mpt: [01:24] whoops [01:24] mpt: typo [01:24] I see the work being done and then forgotten at the end of SoC === mdke is not sure [01:25] I see the work being done, not translated and then pushed in on top of the documentation *cough* book *cough* [01:25] you know that flash stuff we worked on with mdz a few months back? that should be what he could be working on [01:25] agreed. Possibly with links to sections of the help === Burgwork slaps mdke with THE BOOK [01:25] it doesn't hurt unless you slap me with the OFFICIAL book [01:26] and then we can work on an awesome docbook frontpage for yelp [01:26] yes, quite [01:26] I really loved his mockup. I think I am going to have to steal it [01:26] however [01:27] I think we need to do some talking with people in high places, I'm slightly concerned that the docteam is getting a bit overlooked, especially now that it is really rocking [01:27] for example it would have been nice to have been asked about this spec [01:27] I blame jerome [01:27] hmm? [01:27] he had access ot the google mentors page and said nothing [01:27] heh, poor bloke === Burgwork doesn't really blame jerome [01:28] I know [01:28] oh, lordy, this topic again [01:28] I don't think is a big giant plan on Canonicals part [01:28] course not [01:28] mpt: well, not really [01:28] I will, however, readily accept the book as being a BIG GIANT PLAN by Canonical === mdke grrrs [01:29] I hope I get a copy at least [01:29] There is a very easy way to solve this issue [01:29] I will send you one if you don' [01:29] all my hard work slating Jono's writing [01:29] Rename the Documentation Team to the Help Team [01:29] how about the Needs Help Team ;) [01:29] to make it crystal clear that writing books is not their job === mpt ducks and runs [01:29] mpt: we'd have to take over the forums, irc, the Canonical support center... the world... === Burgwork salivates at the thought [01:30] the Help Writing Team, then? [01:30] ok, maybe not [01:30] the DON'T TOUCH OUR HELP MENU Team [01:30] haha [01:31] If only there was a Help menu! [01:31] even then Mark would out trump us [01:31] omg === mpt looks in the Help submenu [01:31] I hadn't seen this for a few days [01:31] System Documentation [sic] [01:31] Online [sic] Documentation [01:31] Community Support [01:31] Commercial Support [01:31] Ubuntu Book Excerpt [01:32] HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHICH ONE HAS AN ANSWER TO MY QUESTION [01:32] eh? [01:32] mpt: dude, I exchanged about 15 emails with sabdfl about this, all I got was that I had a view of help which was "too linear" [01:32] uhh, isn't help supposed to be linear? [01:32] too linear? [01:32] What does that even mean? [01:32] what can you do? [01:32] mpt: simple. you go through each one, line by line, until you find your answer. [01:33] :) [01:33] depth-first search! [01:33] :), yea get to the end and pay someone to help [01:33] uh oh [01:34] I chose "Book Excerpt" and I get something that's not a book excerpt [01:34] jeffsch, better have them check the source code too [01:34] err, System> Help is ... interesting. [01:34] mpt: I wish you'd let him know how crap it is. Your opinion might carry more weight than mine. [01:34] mdke, not likely [01:34] unlikely [01:34] even worse, Book Excerpt is only in English [01:34] so the foreigner does this: [01:34] mdke, kindly reproduce this bug for me [01:35] "oooh, official book, I'll try that first" [01:35] 1. Choose "Book Excerpt" [01:35] what do you see? [01:35] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MatthewPaulThomas?action=diff&rev2=13&rev1=12 <-- this edit tells me everything you need to know mdke [01:35] "oh, damn, it's in English" [01:35] "oh well, none of the documentation is in my language then" [01:35] mdke, I see not a book excerpt, but a page that tells me how to use the Help menu that I just came out of [01:35] :( [01:35] mpt: no, I can't reproduce that. Got an up to date example-content? [01:35] so lets plan to kill the help menu for a better page in Yelp [01:36] s/page/front page/ [01:36] Burgwork, by "kill ... for" do you mean "replace ... with"? [01:36] mpt, yes [01:37] I'll blog about it when Dapper is out the door and Mark won't think I'm just bitter about the book being included, I spent half my time trying to convince him of that too [01:37] mdke, synaptic tells me that I have four out-of-date packages, and none of them are example-content [01:37] now that i have been paid, I can say anything I want [01:37] I will blog about it tonight [01:38] heh, I just noticed the book mentions enabling hdparm. [01:38] mdke, I have example-content v21, what version do you have? [01:38] mpt: yeah. gnome-panel? [01:38] 2.14.1 [01:38] ubuntu16? [01:38] one moment [01:38] how do I tell while synaptic is busy? [01:39] apt-something? [01:39] apt-cache policy gnome-panel [01:39] dpkg -l gnome-panel [01:39] heh [01:39] 2.14.1-0ubuntu16 0 [01:39] mpt: and you get what, the firefox hompage? [01:39] dum dum DUMMMM [01:39] mdke, no, a Yelp window containing styled HTML [01:40] wha [01:40] screenie? [01:40] "Welcome to Ubuntu 6.06 LTS!" [01:40] so, this is a bug, then [01:40] yeah [01:40] apt-cache madison gnome-panel :-) [01:40] package example-content? [01:40] mpt: could be gnome-panel actually, the link sounds wrong [01:41] you should get http://mdke.org/tmp/book.png [01:41] ok, it's late. gnight all [01:41] mdke, no :-( ... goodnight [01:44] oh, man, more Microsoft typography on the cover of the Ubuntu book [01:44] ok, no more negative statements from me today [01:44] I'm a happy person [01:49] bug 47596 reported [01:49] Malone bug 47596 in Ubuntu ""Ubuntu Book Excerpt" doesn't show book excerpt (shows "Welcome to Ubuntu" instead)" [Normal,Unconfirmed] http://launchpad.net/bugs/47596 [01:51] ...

[09:00] it's actually surprisingly difficult to edit the old page [09:00] ok [09:00] suprisingly difficult is something stupid people are suprising good at [09:01] Burgwork: you have to go back to the old wiki, insert ?action=show in the top and then click edit [09:02] ah, ok [09:11] website looks really nice [09:11] I like the new side menus heaps more [09:11] which website?
