[03:32] <Madpilot> hi all
[03:41] <Madpilot> mpt, ping
[04:04] <mgalvin> Madpilot: nice one about gLabels, i'll put it in #5
[04:05] <Madpilot> mgalvin, thanks
[04:05] <mgalvin> thats exactly the types of things we need
[04:05] <Madpilot> what 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] <mgalvin> i should actually write up some guidelines so that people to stray to much off point
[04:05] <Madpilot> http://www.warbard.ca/temp/baobab_screenshot.png in this case
[04:06] <mpt> Madpilot, pong
[04:06] <Madpilot> mpt, see above about screenshots in UWN & baobab
[04:10] <mgalvin> hmm, 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 work
[04:10] <mgalvin> i would like to see screenshots, i think we can, we just need to figure out a good way to deal with them on ubuntu-news
[04:11] <Madpilot> yeah
[04:11] <mgalvin> we could just say something like.... to see images, etc... view UWN on the wiki, and be done with it
[04:12] <mgalvin> that screenshot isn't loading... baobab is that file system usage graphing thing right?
[04:15] <mpt> Madpilot, what is the output format and target market of UWN? To be honest I haven't seen it yet
[04:17] <Madpilot> hmm... output format is the wiki, plus various text-only forms (email, etc)
[04:19] <mpt> which wiki?
[04:19] <mgalvin> mpt: the target is a mix of canonical management, developers and community
[04:19] <mgalvin> wiki.ubuntu.com
[04:19] <mpt> ok
[04:19] <mgalvin> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter
[04:20] <mpt> As long as it's something people look for on the understanding it's a newsletter, I don't see a problem
[04:21] <mpt> The 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 using
[07:21] <nixternal> anybody looked over that Ubuntu Hacks book that recently came out?
[11:19] <mpt> hi ho
[11:59] <mpt_> Does anyone know where that list is of the most commonly asked questions in #ubuntu?
[01:09] <jsgotangco> hey
[01:37] <mdke> mpt_: CommonQuestions
[01:37] <mdke> morning jsgotangco 
[01:41] <jsgotangco> mdke: hi!
[02:55] <mpt_> mdke, thanks
[03:04] <mpt_> So the ones relevant to on-screen help are
[03:04] <mpt_> * Where's the root password?
[03:04] <mpt_> * Why won't MP3/Divx/DVDs/Quicktime/Realmedia/Flash/Java work?
[03:04] <mpt_> * the various hardware questions
[03:05] <mpt_> * the various software installation questions
[03:07] <mpt_> those are all depressing in different ways :-)
[03:11] <mdke> mpt_: yeah :)
[04:04] <mpt_> http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/default.mspx
[04:04] <mpt_> that's interesting
[04:09] <sladen> that is interesting
[04:09] <sladen> it's beta too, which means it's fairly recent
[04:10] <sladen> information "for IT Pros"
