mdke112 since we removed the possibility to download pdfs from there.10:21
mdketotal of 1327 if you include the whole period we've had them up (which include lots of downloaded pdfs)10:22
mptthe period does, or the 1327 does?10:22
mptI mean, does the 1327 = sales + downloads, or just sales?10:23
mdkesales and downloads10:23
mdkeit doesn't distinguish. But since we removed the possibility of downloading there have been 112 sales10:23

mpt(not to suggest that any of these fine people are pigeons, of course)10:28
Madpilotanyone here speak enough French to answer a grammar question for me?10:30
MadpilotShould "projet de documentation d'Ubuntu" have a capital D in documentation, or not?10:30
mptIf projet doesn't, why should documentation?10:30
=== mpt is inclined to guess that they both should
Madpilotlikewise10:31
mdkeboh10:32
Madpilotmdke, you've got the Portugese translation listed twice on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MatthewEast/CompleteBookTranslations - there's already a cover for it10:35

rob(and that person used to be a Fedora nut)10:41
Madpilotthink they got converted? ;)10:41
robI'm thinking so, hopefully he might get involved with the doc team10:42

Madpilotgah, why don't the Kubuntu Desktop Guide translations include the .omf file that the UDG translations do?10:43
mdkeheh10:44
mdkethe omf files are for the evil scrollkeeper10:44
mdkewhich Kubuntu, fortunately, doesn't use10:44
Madpilotthey're the easiest place to get the translations for my covers, too10:44

mptmdke, stuff on help.ubuntu.com doesn't need CategoryDocumentation any more, does it?10:53

Madpilotcool11:15
Madpilotare the translations selling too, or is everyone buying the English originals?11:15
mdkenot sure11:15
mdkeMadpilot: by the way, there might be a job that Corey is interested in on the Ubuntu website - the marketing one. Tell him to check it out11:16

Madpilotwhich toc?01:19

mptin WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported01:19
=== mpt wonders if there's a macro to print a table of links<->URLs at the end of a wiki page
mptit appears not01:22
Madpilotthat tablestyle stuff is pretty standard all over our wikis - it's pretty crude HTML/CSS markup, but it works01:23
mptThat page could be narrower and easier to read if some of the link URLs were hidden, but that wouldn't be nice if you were printing it out, unless you were printing it with Internet Explorer's "Print table of links" option01:24
=== mpt wishes Firefox would hurry up and gain that feature
Madpilothmm, on anything but 1280x1024 that table slops over the edge of the screen :|01:26

crimsun_in Feature of the Week, that would be "perform" not "perforom"11:03
crimsun_and "pattern" not "patter"11:04
crimsun_the final sentence should use a singular "rule" instead of the plural for number consistency11:05
crimsun_it would also be good to use consistent capitalisation for Edgy.11:05
crimsun_(cf. Coming Next Week)11:05
jendaheh :) I missed those. Should prolly go to bed.11:06
crimsun_same section, ..."and hear" not "and here"11:06
crimsun_otherwise it looks fine11:06
crimsun_.oO( "and hear" implies audio -- is that intentional? perhaps "and read" is more precise? )11:08
mgalvincrimsun_: thanks, i fix those now11:14
