jsgotangcojjesse: the kubuntu laptop testing makes sense though, the problem is who will be focusing on things that won't work. KDE does some funky stuff that GNOME does differently and currently, most function keys fixed in Ubuntu only work with GNOME04:14
jsgotangcobut some work like in toshiba sets, while KDE does things differently with Thinkpads and VAIOs04:14
jsgotangcowould be interesting to see the difference though04:14
jjessejsgotangco: i agree, i don't know who would be heading it, i'm just trying to bring attention to it04:16
jsgotangcoits worth pursuing though04:17
jjessei'm glad you think so04:17
jsgotangcobut we can't expect mjg59 supporting it04:17
jjessehe heads up the laptop team?04:17
jsgotangcoyeah04:18
jsgotangcoits a gnome ballgame at the moment04:18
jjesseagreed04:18
jjessethough i thought i heard some discussion in regards to splitting up the release schedule?04:18
jsgotangcobut it has been wildly successful04:19
jsgotangcoubuntu/kubuntu?04:19
jsgotangcodunno04:19
jjesseyeah splitting kubuntu into a seperate release schedule04:19
jsgotangcobetter ask Riddell, most of the kubuntu BOFs werent even published on the BoFicator of LP04:19
jsgotangcowasn't able to attend one even04:19
jjessei will, i did notice that, i wonder if there wasn't enough intrest?04:20
jsgotangcono that's not it, i dunno, KDE had a lot of people in the summit04:20
jsgotangcowe even had to loan ellen on some BoFs because she's the usability expert04:21
jjessei noticed that, which is great, i'm big fan of adept usability04:22

nixternali wouldn't...that seems to be part of some UK team that just started recently05:38
robotgeekwhy is it on help.ubuntu.com? its not documentation :)05:38
nixternaltrue..did they created that after the move?05:38
nixternalno...that was created 7 days ago..it hasn't been that long already has it?05:39
nixternalno..that was just created 7 days ago...05:39
robotgeeknope, maybe move it to wiki.ubuntu.com ?05:39
nixternali don't know why it is CatDoc though05:40
robotgeekmaybe it got moved by mistake05:40
nixternalthats what I would do, unless someone stepped forward and said no05:40
nixternalactually..i think it was created right there after the move from the look sof it05:40
nixternalif you create a CatDoc on w.u.c it doesn't automatically get moved over correct?05:41
nixternalthere is a redirect on w.u.c for that page too05:41
robotgeekanyways, i think i'll maintain a pagelist, and we can nuke them later on05:41
Madpilotnixternal, no, stuff added to CatDoc on wiki.u.c doesn't get moved automagically - that was a one-time deal05:42

jendaWhat is wrong with ubuntuguide.org, doc.gwos.org, easylinux.info?09:41
jendaI don't recommend them, but I need good arguments to back me up within my LoCo :)09:41
jendaHello Madpilot.09:41
Madpilotubuntuguide.org is grossly out of date, or was last time I bothered looking at it09:41
jendaWell, it's written for Dapper.09:41
Madpilotdoc.gwos.org has some good stuff, but it's not really complete09:41
Madpilotthat easylinux one looks a bit like an updated ubuntuguide09:42
jendait is.09:42
Madpilotit's got the same problem ug.org does - no explanations, it's all just cookbook stuff09:42
robubuntuguide.org is responsible for breaking many systems, its up there with automatix IMO09:43
jendato me, it looks as if every single one was a huge waste of manpower.09:43
jendarob: that bad?09:43
robyep09:43
Madpilotjenda, yeah, that too09:43
robthe desktop guide was actually originally based on it, but turned into something a heck more reliablel09:43
robslip of the finger there :)09:44
jendaOK09:44
robfor Breezy at least on help.ubuntu.com there was a one page version of the desktop guide (which would be similar in format at least), not sure if that was kept for Dapper09:45
Madpilotdon't think it was09:45
jendaNope - but I'd like to see it again. IT's great for Ctrl+F in firefox.09:47
robyep09:47
Madpilotbug mdke at some point - a one-long-file version of the HTML could probably be generated09:47
robyeah, pretty easily09:47
jendayes, I will bug him.09:47
MadpilotI helped write the Ubuntu Desktop Guide, but I leave the actual generation/creation up to Matt :)09:48

jendaHowever, if the line saying Ubuntu Desktop Guide html pdf etc. also said 'other languages' and linked to an index of those - that's effective and simple, IMO02:59
