mgalvinthats exactly the types of things we need04:05
Madpilotwhat do you think of screenshots in UWN? I'd like to write a blurb on baobab, and it's just so much easier to explain with a single screenshot...04:05
mgalvini should actually write up some guidelines so that people to stray to much off point04:05
Madpilothttp://www.warbard.ca/temp/baobab_screenshot.png in this case04:05
=== mgalvin looks
mptMadpilot, pong04:06
Madpilotmpt, see above about screenshots in UWN & baobab04:06
mgalvinhmm, since it gets mailed to ubuntu-news right now i am not sure if its the best idea, but it would be nice to be able to use screenshots... if we get to have an rss feed on the fridge soon which would allow us to direct everyone to view UWN on the wiki it would certainly work04:10
mgalvini would like to see screenshots, i think we can, we just need to figure out a good way to deal with them on ubuntu-news04:10
Madpilotyeah04:11
mgalvinwe could just say something like.... to see images, etc... view UWN on the wiki, and be done with it04:11
mgalvinthat screenshot isn't loading... baobab is that file system usage graphing thing right?04:12
mptMadpilot, what is the output format and target market of UWN? To be honest I haven't seen it yet04:15
Madpilothmm... output format is the wiki, plus various text-only forms (email, etc)04:17
mptwhich wiki?04:19
mgalvinmpt: the target is a mix of canonical management, developers and community04:19
mgalvinwiki.ubuntu.com04:19
mptok04:19
mgalvinhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter04:19
mptAs long as it's something people look for on the understanding it's a newsletter, I don't see a problem04:20
mptThe problem comes when people look for help about something in the help viewer, they get shown a screenshot, and think that the screenshot is the window they're supposed to be using04:21
