Burgworkmdke, I like the former, myself, but then again, I am mad12:09
mdkeBurgwork: books?12:10
Burgworkmdke, yep12:21
mdkeBurgwork: yeah, mad :)12:21
Burgworkmy brain is goo. We just have a 1 1/2 hr long meeting at work12:21
LaserJockI like books too12:48
robotgeekhmm, LaserJock 12:49
LaserJockespecially since I can read about computers without having to be on one12:49
BurgworkLaserJock, you can do a book even if we drop books12:51
=== mdke dives into the Forum Document Storage Facility debate again
LaserJockwaahooo12:53
LaserJockwhere?12:53
Burgworkmdke, where is that?12:53
mdkehttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=110438412:54
LaserJockhmm, and I was thinking of suggesting a move away from using the wiki for docs12:54
mdkeis anyone from the UDSF here?12:55
mdkedoesn't look like it :/12:56
BurgworkKingBahamut hangs out hin here12:57
BurgworkLaserJock, why would you suggest a move away?01:01
Burgworkwe need a merging and if the wiki can offer us docbook, I don't see any reason why we would want to move away01:01
LaserJockbecause I'm just not seeing the point, I guess01:02
Burgworkthe point of what? webediting?01:02
LaserJockwiki seems great for quick and dirty collaboration01:02
=== linuxmonkey [n=linuxmon@unaffiliated/LinuxMonkey] has joined #ubuntu-doc
robotgeekLaserJock: maybe then we would not need ALL contributors to be good at docbook01:02
LaserJockbut I just don't see it as a very good help system01:03
Burgworkwe can do more agressive ACL's when it comes down to release time01:03
Burgworkmaybe get some hacking to do frozen pages for release01:03
robotgeeklinuxmonkey wants to write documentation for us :)01:03
linuxmonkey:)01:03
LaserJockif people knew what they were doing and how there writing affected other pages01:04
LaserJockbut it just doesn't seem to have any flow or structure, to me01:04
Burgworkbecause it gets ignored01:04
Burgworkif it was the primary place we wrote, it would be a very different place01:04
linuxmonkeyive been fixing stuff on the wiki and want to help with docs too for kubuntu :)01:04
LaserJockI've just been getting the impression that we have outgrown our wiki01:05
Burgworkuhh01:05
LaserJockit seems like a complete mess01:05
robotgeeklinuxmonkey: we are in the midst of "brainstroming"01:05
Burgworksee my previous point01:05
robotgeekanyways, i need tp run now :). later01:05
LaserJockbut that is my point01:05
linuxmonkeybrainstorming on any specific subject01:06
LaserJockBurgwork: it doesn't seem like we have enough resources to make it better01:06
LaserJockdon't have, I mean01:06
Burgworkyou don't ignore a dog for a while and then wonder why it has mange and piddles on the carpet01:06
mdkewe need to get the whole community involved01:06
mdkehopefully focusing things on help.u.c will help01:07
BurgworkI'm stoked01:07
LaserJockBurgwork: but how is it being ignored? People are using it all the time, a lot of our conversation as a team is about wiki material01:07
Burgworkyes, but how much are we actually fixing it?01:07
LaserJockright01:07
Burgworkif the doc team was teh major editor, leadership would created better docs01:07
Burgworkcurrently most of the edits come from people who we don't know01:08
LaserJockright01:08
Burgworkwe also have a major communication issue on the wiki01:08
LaserJockyes01:08
LaserJockbut I'm wondering how we propose to fix these issues01:09
Burgworkbut that can be solved through begging for money/time/developers from mark :001:09
Burgwork:001:09
Burgwork:), even01:09
linuxmonkeyI think that docs/wiki should have a section for non specific display manager (No matter the display manager this would pertain to all) and then a section for each individual other like gnome, kde and such, instead of having stuff mixed on the same pages01:09
Burgworklinuxmonkey, we try and make it as non-specific as possible01:09
Burgworkcan you give us a specific example?01:09
linuxmonkeyhehe yeah look at wiki for RestrictedFormats01:10
Burgworkthat is quite non-specific01:10
linuxmonkeymain one that pops into my head01:10
Burgworkrestrictedformats needs an ACL, to be honest01:10
Burgworkthere is no need for many random people to be editing that page01:10
linuxmonkeyyeah but the issue is that theres alot of stuff in there thats Ubuntu specific and then stuff thats kubuntu specific01:11
Burgworkyep01:11
BurgworkI would welcome concrete proposals on how to deal with it01:11
linuxmonkeyand users get mixed up01:11
Burgworkit is a known issue01:11
Burgworks/I/we01:11
Burgworksorry if I am being abrupt. I got subjected to a useless meeting today at work and am tired about lack of "concrete proposals"01:12
linuxmonkeys/l/we? take my appologies but what does that mean01:12
mdkeit means replace "I" with "we" in his previous message01:12
linuxmonkeyah01:13
LaserJockman, that page is huge01:13
=== mdke sleeps
Burgworkthings like shockwave need to be split out01:14
LaserJockgood night mdke 01:15
Burgworknight mdke 01:15
LaserJockI'd love to see using some sort of namespace for the different releases01:15
linuxmonkeyexactly01:15
LaserJockbut I'm not sure how practical it is01:15
linuxmonkeywell it would take a bit more server space but be easyer for support01:16
LaserJockI think the most difficult part is having people decide when something is specific to a release or not01:19
mdkeit would be hell to maintain, given that most things are the same over all releases01:19
=== mdke doesn't sleep!
LaserJockI'm just really struggling with structure right now, and I'm tired01:19
LaserJockbut I have another 5hrs before I get to go home01:20
LaserJockI have high hopes for the new help.u.c wiki01:21
BurgworkI realize it is a good building block01:21
linuxmonkeyso how does one become an official member of the doc team01:22
LaserJockyou work where we can see your contribution01:22
LaserJockhang out with us, and bribes certainly should help ;-)01:23
Burgworklinuxmonkey, for the wiki team, simply edit some wiki pages and apply. For the doc team, patches to our svn repo01:23
linuxmonkeywiki ..already edited quite a few pages01:23
linuxmonkeyand for doc. reading the getting started section01:24
Burgworklinuxmonkey, if you apply, create a wiki page with a list of contributions and have that linked from the LP page01:24
linuxmonkeywiki page allready created01:25

BurgworkI think we can take as needed01:34
BurgworkI think if we take a proactive approach to porting stuff, we will be good01:35
mdkein theory yes, but I don't know whether they have the right to pd it, having taken much material from the forum01:35
Laser_awayisn't the forum PD?01:35
mdkeI think you might be right about that01:35
mdkeporting things might be a good way to bring things closer01:35
mdketake small steps and so on01:36
Burgworkmere aggregation of data, like that first one is clearly not copyrightable01:36
mdketry and convince the storage center contributors/admins that collaborating is absolutely an option01:36
Burgworkif we put a link at the bottom of all pages "Now been ported. See h.u.c/X"01:36
Burgworkthat might get the idea01:36
mdkeif they are up for that, yeah01:37

BurglaptopLaserJock: you are working on teh Userful stuff?04:18
LaserJocknot this minute04:18
jsgotangcohi! long time no see!04:18
LaserJockI had to take care of some research today04:18
Burglaptopah04:19
Burglaptopno worries04:19
BurglaptopI am just trying to prevent Tim from breathing down my neck04:19
LaserJockI think his timeline is definately doable04:19
Burglaptophe is going to be in town on Thursday, so I have to deal with him in person04:19
jsgotangcoLaserJock: are you good at bzr?04:19
LaserJockumm, I can use it, usually04:20
LaserJockwhat do you need04:20
LaserJockBurglaptop: I feel for you, really.04:20
Burglaptoptbbbhhh...04:20
jsgotangcoLaserJock: on bzr viz, what does a yellow branch indicate?04:20
jsgotangcoand a green one as well04:20
LaserJockhmm, I've never done viz before04:21
jsgotangcoahh04:21
=== jsgotangco goes to #bzr
LaserJocksorry04:21
jsgotangcoah wait i understand it now04:22
jsgotangcofrom head someone branched then it was merged04:22
jsgotangcobut the branch continued to work on his own04:22
jsgotangcothen it got merged again04:22
jsgotangcoahh04:22
Burglaptopwhat are you working on?04:23
jsgotangcoim looking at the history of hwdb client04:23
Burglaptopah, ok04:23
Burglaptopgoing to be working on it04:23
Burglaptop?04:23
jsgotangcowell not really, 04:24
Burglaptopahhhh04:24
jsgotangcojust started branching from ogra's bzr archives04:24
LaserJockjsgotangco: do you have to install something besides bzr to get bzr viz04:24
BurglaptopI want some hwdb/laptop/server testing love04:24
jsgotangcoLaserJock: bzrk04:24
LaserJockah, right04:24
jsgotangcoBurglaptop: atm i think the hardware identifier is random, hence its possible to have multiple entries of the same hardware04:25
Burglaptopyep, taht is an issue04:25
Burglaptophmm, md5 sum of something?04:25
jsgotangcoyes very much04:26
LaserJockI think hwdb will get lots of love in edgy04:26
jsgotangcomassaging the current data is not that hard04:26
Burglaptopif you md5 summed a specific piece of hardware, it should work04:26
Burglaptopmaybe login account would be better04:26
Burglaptoplet the user choose the machine themselves04:26
jsgotangcoyou mean let the user create a hw profile 04:27
jsgotangco?04:27
jsgotangcothat lists his entries?04:27
LaserJockwe should make them sign up on LP, report at least 2 bugs, and pass an Ubuntu IQ test before that though ;-)04:28
Burglaptopyep, and tie their hardware profile to their LP name04:28
jsgotangcoi could make a mockup in glade04:29
Burglaptopyou could. I hate glade04:29
Burglaptopreally clunky to use04:29
LaserJockoh wow, bzr viz is neato04:30
Burglaptopis it some gtk boog?04:30
jsgotangcoyeah04:31
jsgotangcoit was obviously inspired by git04:31
=== Burglaptop observes that the weather is great and he really should mow the lawn
Burglaptopnahh..04:33
Burglaptopjsgotangco: you think I should write out a plan for RestrictedFormats and get feedback or just dive into it?04:35
linuxmonkeyBurglaptop: do u know if libdvdread3 can be installed with any package manager app or do you have to use apt-get04:35
Burglaptopyes, it can, but then the issue of the isntall script for the css part04:36
linuxmonkeythats easy04:36
linuxmonkeyjust have to tell them to run that command04:36
Burglaptopstill needs to be run in a terminal04:36
Burglaptoptrue04:36
linuxmonkeyso are we gonna have a seperate wiki or still using ubuntu's, whats the direction were taking04:37
Burglaptopthe documentation is being moved off, any day now04:38
linuxmonkeyso what exact;y does that mean?04:38
Burglaptopanything in CatDoc is being moved to help.ubuntu.com04:39
linuxmonkeystill in wiki format?04:39
Burglaptopyep, to another moin wiki04:39
Burglaptopsame editing, etc.04:39
jsgotangcoBurglaptop: i am not sure, people who refer/use RestrictedFormats is quite diverse in their opinion as well04:40
linuxmonkeyBurglaptop: im gonna edit the dvd section and let me know how i did04:40
Burglaptoplinuxmonkey: uhh, wait up a sec04:40
linuxmonkeyuh ok04:40
Burglaptophonestly, can you find another page to edit?04:40
linuxmonkeypossibly04:41
Burglaptopnot to be rude, but RestrictedFormats needs a light touch, due to how heavily trafficed it is04:41
linuxmonkeyive edited it befor04:41
linuxmonkeylol04:41
Burglaptopyep, and so have I04:41
Burglaptopin fact, there are too many people editing it04:41

Burgundaviathe whole catdoc is moving05:07
Burgundaviaredirects left in their place05:07
nixternalso a search on the old direct will lead you to a redirect then..ok..that works05:07

nixternalhe did something you didn't like with the KubuntuXGL05:09
Burgundaviahe did not consider namespace collisions05:10
nixternali don't want to follow that example05:10
nixternalahhh..ok05:10
Burgundaviapeople searching for how to install XGL would come across his spec05:10
Burgundaviapretty much the largest reason we are moving the docs off05:10
nixternalthat is good to know05:11
nixternalwhat is the outcome going to be for wiki.ubuntu.com? will it eventually go away, used for something else?05:11
Burgundavianope, it will stay what is used for now: internal Ubuntu communication and specs05:11
nixternalok...great..i am looking at help.ubuntu.com now..i should have done that from the get go...it makes more sense to me now05:12

nixternalthe only thing i could see of importance to the firefox wiki, would be the fixes for kde concerning the nsFilePicker.js and the FILEPICKER_CONTRACTID fix05:35
linuxmonkeyI feel that using a fake name could hinder future involvment with kubuntu and other projects of open source05:36

nixternali will look harder later..but as of right now i didn't come across one...if needed it can be built..no problem09:32
nixternalanother thing i do, for safety issues...i copy the original wiki text and save it...then i rework the wiki and save that...so i have noted changes...plus if somehting was to happen, i have a local backup too...09:35

mvirkkiljeffsch: But I'm thinking some generally useful information like abbreviations and such should be made in to macros.06:01
mvirkkiljeffsch: And I also have a plan of attack for possibly emebedding xml in to the wikisyntax and parsing it out.06:02
mvirkkiljeffsch: That was a request from my mentoring organization, and so I've thought about it. I'm personally not very keen on the idea, but we'll see.06:02
mvirkkiljeffsch: You can read more about what I'm going to do at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MoinDocBookProject06:04
jeffschyeah, embedding extra info into existing moin tags will probably work, but then you stop making moin and start making docbook, or something just as complicated :) :)06:05
mvirkkiljeffsch: You're probably most interested in steps 3-> 06:05
jeffschok. reading it now06:05
mvirkkiljeffsch: Well, emedding it in to macros would work nicely for simple stuff. 06:08
mvirkkiljeffsch: BTW, Sean Wheller (froud) asked me to say Hi from him, when I talk to you :) He pointed me to your xslt:s.06:11
jeffschmvirkkil: thanks, say hi back to him for me06:12
mvirkkiljeffsch: Any thoughts or suggestions re the project?06:12
jsgotangcohmm is this for your fedora SoC?06:14
jeffschyes, but I'd like to think about it a bit before commenting. Is there a place on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MoinDocBookProject for comments?06:15
mvirkkiljsgotangco: Yup06:15
jsgotangcocool congrats too btw06:15
mvirkkiljeffsch: Unfortunately not :/06:15
mvirkkiljeffsch: You can send mail, or comment on irc.06:16
jeffschok. is this there an irc channel for the project?06:16
mvirkkilWell, moin-dev might be appropriate.06:17
mvirkkiljeffsch: afaic they log the conversations there06:18
mvirkkilwhich could be handy06:18
jeffschmvirkkil: i will change the license on a2m.xslt and commit it sometime today06:32
enricoWhat would you people think of this as a t-shirt desing? http://moon.bme.ym.edu.tw/photo/displayimage.php?album=26&pos=106:32
mvirkkiljeffsch: What's your timezone?06:33
jeffschpacific - west coast canada, ahmmm... -0700 i think06:34
mvirkkiljeffsch: so it's 7:30am?06:36
jeffsch9:3006:38
LaserJockjeffsch: you're on the west coast?06:38
mvirkkiljeffsch: Argh. Yeah..06:39
=== mvirkkil can't count
enricowrt http://moon.bme.ym.edu.tw/photo/displayimage.php?album=26&pos=1 as a t-shirt design, I'm asking your opinion because the original idea was to make something with the Ubuntu and Debian logos inside.  I think the result is cute, but I don't know if it's easily decoded06:42
mvirkkilenrico: For what is it? Not sure how the deamon fits in to the equation?06:46
jeffschmvirkkil: have you seen https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Ideas/ArticleToMoinDesc06:51
jeffschit was generated from a2m-desc.xml in teamstuff in the repos06:52
enricomvirkkil: The daemon should be something of a Debian GNU/FreeBSD06:52
mvirkkiljeffsch: Was that the same document as the xml in the repo?06:53
jeffschyes... it is moin generated from the xml using a2m.xslt06:54
jeffschenrico: I see linux, bsd, debian, and ubuntu, but it takes a long time to figure out06:56
enricojeffsch: thanks06:56

enricoIt looks cute to me because I know the idea behind, but it's quite hard to decode06:57
jeffschand i don't know what the person in the lower left is for; only to make three? or is it for some other system?06:57
enricoa t-shirt should probably not be hard to decode :)06:57
