mdkeMadpilot: thanks09:02
Madpilotnp09:02
Madpilotany more translations come in?09:02
mdkewell, more have been done, but we haven't imported them into the repo yet09:02
klepashey folks09:04
nixternalthis is the most action i have seen in here today ;)09:05
bhuvanmdke: when a user reports a bug in any of documents and if we confirm it we can commit the fix in trunk. do we have to commit the fix in branch as well ?09:09
mdkebhuvan: no, edgy work should be in trunk. Make sure any changes that were made in the branch recently have been applied to the trunk too09:16
bhuvanmdke: ok. yeah, we must ensure trunk contains latest changes. my question, do we have to make these changes in branch (branches/dapper?)09:17
mdkebhuvan: my answer, no, edgy work should be in trunk09:17
bhuvanmdke: ok! so, aren't we providing patches for dapper users ?09:18
mdkenot that I know about09:18
bhuvanok. if so, i guess, we should do these changes in branch as well and get the patch out of it (may be)09:18
jsgotangcomdke: i thought  you would or would it only be limited to ltranslations>09:19
mdkebhuvan: no, don't change anything in branch please09:19
mdkejsgotangco: mm?09:19
bhuvanmdke: ok, np. i'll not touch branch. infact i haven't checkout. after you said, i'll not checkout branch!09:19
jsgotangcomdke: have you started uploading translations?09:20
jsgotangcoi guess not09:20
mdkebhuvan: ok, I'll try and make sure any of the changes to the serverguide we've done there can be applied to trunk09:22
mdkejsgotangco: no, not yet09:22
bhuvanmdke: ok09:22
mdkebhuvan: don't make any changes to trunk until that is done09:23
bhuvanmdke: oh. i just did commit a fix for 49675. it is trivial though09:24
mdkebhuvan: that may mean it will get undone when I manually merge branch back.09:25
mdkeso remember what change you made :)09:25
bhuvanyeah sure09:25

matthewrevellHey guys - just out of interest, do you have any plans to move over to Bazaar, rathr than SVN?03:44
BenBI am having trouble logging my laptop test on the Ubintu wiki.  Anyone here able to help?03:44
=== mdke nods and shakes his head at the same time at matthewrevell
mdkeBenB: yes03:45
matthewrevellmdke: :)03:45
mdkematthewrevell: we've thought about it, and so far haven't found any persuasive reason to do so03:45
mdkeat least, that's my interpretation of the situation03:45
matthewrevellmdke: As there's already a working solution in place, that's understandable.03:46
BenBGreat.  When I create the page with the template, I just get a #REDIRECT line (to the laptop testing template) and I don't know what to do then!03:46
mdkeBenB: yeah, that is an error by us, hang on03:46
matthewrevellbzr seems to have a lower learning curve than other solutions, so for new projects I'd say it's pretty cool.03:46
BenBmdke: OK.  Hang on short term, or long term?03:47
mdkeBenB: I'll sort it in a bit. For now, just create your page, then use the table here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/Template03:47
BenBmdke:  OK, but I think I may have created a page with the REDIRECT so it may need to be deleted:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/SonyVaioVGN-S4XP03:49
mdkeBenB: no, just use that page03:50
mdkeI'll do it for you, hang on03:50
BenBmdke: OK.  Thanks.03:50
mdkeBenB: done, now just fill in the blanks :)03:51
BenBmdke:  Ah,  great,  Thanks.03:52
mdkematthewrevell: i'm conscious I may not have answered any of the questions _you_ had about where to start contributing yesterday...03:52
matthewrevellmdke: I was half asleep last night, so I'm not sure I fully remember :)03:53
mdkematthewrevell: well, I'm much better at explaining things when I'm not being recorded, so feel free to ask :)03:54
matthewrevell:)03:54
matthewrevellmdke: I felt as though we'd covered pretty much everything. We had a chat, afterwards, about the whole toolchain side of things, which threw up some interesting ideas. The main conclusion we reached, though, was that it's more important to have people writing docs, than thinking about tools.03:55
matthewrevellMy own questions relate more to how to get a feel for the community, etc, and who is doing what.03:56
mdkeright03:57
matthewrevellThe styleguide is a good place to start, but I think you mentiones that it's in flux. 03:57
mdkeit occurred to me that I didn't mention the wiki->docbook tools that are evolving03:57
mdkethat was stupid of me03:57
matthewrevellOh. Perhaps I could mention them in the following show, if you give me details.03:57
mdkesure03:58
dsasThat's just reminded me, I was humming the LR theme earlier and couldn't remember where it was from.03:58
matthewrevelldsas: Ah, Dean Sas.03:58
mdkehttp://www.mdke.org/blog/Wiki2Docbook.html03:58
matthewrevell:)03:58
matthewrevellmdke: Thanks. 03:59
dsasmatthewrevell: Hello.03:59
matthewrevellmdke: Are the "Work in Progress" links on the right-hand side of doc.ubuntu.com the current priorities? I ask because the main page content says they're in development for release with Dapper, but obviously that's been released.04:05
mdkematthewrevell: yeah, that hasn't been updated since Dapper. We still have to make plans for edgy about what projects to focus on.04:05
jsgotangcomatthewrevell: bzr doesn't bode well for structured data like xml and the current social structure of the docteam doesn't fit well in a distributed revision control system04:06
jsgotangcounless each derivative begins to have their own teams working separately i guess04:06
=== tuxmaniac [n=aanjhan@60.254.67.17] has joined #ubuntu-doc
jsgotangcoits possible to make bzr work like an svn server with a PQM bot, but then, why bother04:06
=== jsgotangco thinks just upgrading the current svn would probably work too
matthewrevelljsgotangco: Oh really? Okeydoke. I haven't used it enough to have come across its limitations with documentation etc.04:07
mdkeI dunno...04:07
jsgotangcoits a neat system04:07
mdkeit should be able to work with documentation04:07
dsasI wasn't sure how the xml limitations were any different to any other rcs xml limitations04:08
matthewrevellmdke: How do you guys make plans, then? Do you have irc meetings to bash it all out?04:08
dsasi.e. it's easy to make the document not validate.04:08
mdkematthewrevell: that's the idea yeah. There is one tomorrow, I believe04:08
jsgotangcoits not so much on the xml limitation per se, but its more on the social structure of a distributed rcs compared to a centralised one04:08
jjesseat noon est 04:08
jjessewhatever time that is gmt 04:08
jsgotangcoie; reverting changes than having all merge to the reverts04:08
matthewrevelljjesse: 17:00 I think04:08
