[10:19] <Madpilot> hi mdke 
[10:19] <mpt> wow
=== mpt admires the Ubuntu listings on lulu.com
[10:19] <mpt> that's pretty cool
[10:19] <mpt> are they selling at all?
[10:20] <mdke> mpt: yeah, lemme see
[10:21] <Madpilot> which reminds me: new covers for translations... /me goes to poke Inkscape to life...
[10:21] <mdke> 112 since we removed the possibility to download pdfs from there.
[10:22] <mdke> total of 1327 if you include the whole period we've had them up (which include lots of downloaded pdfs)
[10:22] <mpt> the period does, or the 1327 does?
[10:23] <mpt> I mean, does the 1327 = sales + downloads, or just sales?
[10:23] <mdke> sales and downloads
[10:23] <mdke> it doesn't distinguish. But since we removed the possibility of downloading there have been 112 sales
[10:24] <mpt> hmm
[10:24] <mpt> get the Ubuntu Marketing Team on the case :-)
=== klepas_ [n=klepas@203-213-31-142.static.tpgi.com.au]  has joined #ubuntu-doc
[10:25] <rob> people can actually purchase PDFs on the web site, we just charge $0 for them
[10:25] <mdke> rob: no, we removed that a while ago
[10:25] <rob> yeah I know, I meant in general
[10:25] <mdke> mpt: :)
[10:25] <mdke> rob: so by "we" you mean "lulu"?
[10:26] <rob> s/charge/charged
[10:26] <mdke> ah
[10:26] <rob> I should mention I have had a splitting headache all day :)
[10:27] <rob> (and still pumped out some fixes to a package)
=== mpt throws another cat amongst the pigeons in ubuntu-doc@
[10:28] <mpt> (not to suggest that any of these fine people are pigeons, of course)
[10:30] <Madpilot> anyone here speak enough French to answer a grammar question for me?
[10:30] <Madpilot> Should "projet de documentation d'Ubuntu" have a capital D in documentation, or not?
[10:30] <mpt> If projet doesn't, why should documentation?
=== mpt is inclined to guess that they both should
[10:31] <Madpilot> likewise
[10:32] <mdke> boh
[10:35] <Madpilot> mdke, you've got the Portugese translation listed twice on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MatthewEast/CompleteBookTranslations - there's already a cover for it
[10:35] <mdke> how odd
[10:35] <mdke> sorry
[10:36] <Madpilot> np
[10:37] <Madpilot> Czech, French & Thai UDG covers done, uploading in a moment

=== rob notes that the last person who edited RestrictedFormats on the wiki has the exact same name and live in the same country and state of that country as a person who used to write professionaly for PC Authority (a PC mag over here);
[10:41] <rob> s/live/lives
[10:41] <rob> (and that person used to be a Fedora nut)
[10:41] <Madpilot> think they got converted? ;)
[10:42] <rob> I'm thinking so, hopefully he might get involved with the doc team
[10:43] <rob> also wrote https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleRemoteDesktop
[10:43] <Madpilot> gah, why don't the Kubuntu Desktop Guide translations include the .omf file that the UDG translations do?
[10:44] <mdke> heh
[10:44] <mdke> the omf files are for the evil scrollkeeper
[10:44] <mdke> which Kubuntu, fortunately, doesn't use
[10:44] <Madpilot> they're the easiest place to get the translations for my covers, too
[10:44] <Madpilot> robotgeek's little script hunts thru them to help me :)
[10:46] <mdke> yeah
[10:53] <mpt> mdke, stuff on help.ubuntu.com doesn't need CategoryDocumentation any more, does it?
[10:54] <mdke> mpt: no, we can remove it and start trying to add useful categories

[11:13] <Madpilot> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MatthewEast/CompleteBookTranslations updated too
[11:14] <mdke> Madpilot: thanks muchly. Am uploading now
[11:15] <Madpilot> cool
[11:15] <Madpilot> are the translations selling too, or is everyone buying the English originals?
[11:15] <mdke> not sure
[11:16] <mdke> Madpilot: 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 out
[11:16] <Madpilot> will do
[11:17] <Madpilot> interesting, they're looking for a full time "Community Manager"

[12:57] <jenda> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[12:58] <jenda> that page has asterisks marking a few entries... but nothing to explain what they mean.
[12:59] <Madpilot> no idea

=== jd_ [n=jd@wikipedia/Meanos]  has joined #ubuntu-doc
[01:19] <mpt> hmmmmmmmm
[01:19] <mpt> Why does the table of contents have lots of inline CSS?
[01:19] <Madpilot> which toc?
[01:19] <mpt> Should the help.ubuntu.com style sheet be doing that automatically?
[01:19] <mpt> in WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
=== mpt wonders if there's a macro to print a table of links<->URLs at the end of a wiki page
[01:22] <mpt> it appears not
[01:23] <Madpilot> that tablestyle stuff is pretty standard all over our wikis - it's pretty crude HTML/CSS markup, but it works
[01:24] <mpt> That 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" option
=== mpt wishes Firefox would hurry up and gain that feature
[01:26] <Madpilot> hmm, on anything but 1280x1024 that table slops over the edge of the screen :|
[01:27] <Madpilot> need sleep - suddenly it's almost 0430...
[01:49] <mpt> boom

[10:43] <jenda> hey there mgalvin
[10:43] <mgalvin> hey jenda
[10:44] <mgalvin> i was just wondering if anyone had a spare moment to review UWN Issue 4
[10:44] <mgalvin> i would like to mail it out soon
[10:49] <crimsun_> sure, link?
[10:58] <mgalvin> crimsun_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue4
[10:58] <mgalvin> thanks
[11:00] <jjesse> mgalvin; looked good to me
[11:01] <mgalvin> jjesse: thanks
[11:01] <jjesse> no problem
=== mpt_ [n=mpt@203-173-178-53.bliink.ihug.co.nz]  has joined #ubuntu-doc
[11:03] <jenda> mgalvin: looks good ;)
[11:03] <crimsun_> in Feature of the Week, that would be "perform" not "perforom"
[11:04] <crimsun_> and "pattern" not "patter"
[11:05] <crimsun_> the final sentence should use a singular "rule" instead of the plural for number consistency
[11:05] <crimsun_> it would also be good to use consistent capitalisation for Edgy.
[11:05] <crimsun_> (cf. Coming Next Week)
[11:06] <jenda> heh :) I missed those. Should prolly go to bed.
[11:06] <crimsun_> same section, ..."and hear" not "and here"
[11:06] <crimsun_> otherwise it looks fine
[11:08] <crimsun_> .oO( "and hear" implies audio -- is that intentional? perhaps "and read" is more precise? )
[11:14] <mgalvin> crimsun_: thanks, i fix those now
[11:14] <crimsun_> np
[11:17] <nixternal> jjesse: you got mail
[11:18] <nixternal> i have in front of me a copy of the rules for ms...i called and my buddy said refer to it. it is linked in the email i just sent out
