=== Burgundavia notes how we don't often discussion documentation here
MadpilotBurgundavia, the recordings from etree? I've got several JJ concert recordings, they're all at least 600Mb08:19
BurgundaviaMadpilot: can yer burn me a copy?08:19
Madpilotsure08:20
MadpilotI could even dump it onto the ubuntu.ca server, assuming that HD is big enough08:20
Burgundaviait is, but would rather not saturate that link08:20
MadpilotOK08:20
MadpilotBaobab tells me I have 2.7Gb of Jack Johnson music08:21
Madpilot... the largest of which is actually only 517Mb08:22
Madpilotdo you want audio CDs, or just data CDs w/ .flac files on them?08:22
jsgotangcothis mono thread has gone waaayyy ot08:23
jsgotangcoits all about "I" "Me" "My experience" "What I think"08:23

carthikHi, Is there a way to upload a text file to the wiki?08:39
carthikIt is basically a chat log - that I have to rewrite as a tutorial of sorts - I don't want it uglifying a wiki page.08:40
Burgundaviacarthik: hmm, there are tags for that08:41
robitaillecarthik,  what I usually do is a cut and paste of the text file, put within  a {{{   }}} pair08:41
Burgundaviaright, that is it08:41
carthikrobitaille, nice, but since this is 400+ lines long, I was hesitant to do that. Burgundavia I scanned almost all the help pages - would you please let me know if you find it?08:42
dsascarthik: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PageName?action=AttachFile to attach files.08:42
robitaillecarthik,  for the meeting logs, I did some very long one that way.  Just use select-all in gedit :)08:42
carthikrobitaille, let me try that.08:43
carthikthanks dsas08:43

Burgundaviano, I am CoreyBurger209:29
mdkeCoreyBurger is in the list.09:29

BurgundaviaCoreyBurger is my wikiname from the old wiki, pre-LP auth09:30
Burgundaviayes, I am that old09:30

BurgundaviaI would rather not play with it until I get confirmation from somebody on the LP team it will not screw up09:32
carthikBurgundavia, alright - maybe I just popped in without context. excuse me :)09:33
=== Burgundavia banishes carthik :)
Burgundaviait is possible the wiki still contains information about a CoreyBurger and will not realize that this CoreyBurger2 is actaully the same person09:33

BurgundaviaThe Ubuntu WikiName CoreyBurger is already registered by Corey Burger.10:30

mdkempt: have you tried edgy yet? Wondered what you thought about the new yelp table of contents11:36
=== bimberi [n=bimberi@ubuntu/member/pdpc.active.bimberi] has joined #ubuntu-doc
mptmdke, I don't have the skillz to fix LP development problems on Edgy, but I've seen the screenshot from GimpNet/#docs of the new ToC11:40
mptIt's a minor improvement, but I still think there shouldn't be a table of contents at all :-)11:40
mdkeI don't think it will sit well with our docs11:41
mdkethe left hand side does not really tie in well with our docs11:41
mdkehttp://www.donscorgie.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/yelp-new-toc.png11:41
mdkehowever, if we depart from it, we have the challenge of trying to ensure that all those categories of documents are available somehow11:42
mdkewe could do it by integrating those categories in the desktop guide, I suppose, it would be a fair bit of work11:43
mptThat's one of the reasons for having a custom front page, isn't it?11:43
mdkeI don't follow11:44
mptso as not to have a table of contents on the front page11:46
mdkeyes, but I was pointing out that if we avoid the table of contents, we will need to integrate all those pages that appear on the left hand side somewhere within our documents, such as in the desktop guide11:47
mdkeotherwise they won't appear at all11:49
mdkeit might be a tough task11:51

mdkeah, I'll avoid that01:41
mdkelloyd: did you see anything above?01:42
lloydinhono. Not at all.01:42
mdkeabout the support page01:42
lloydinhoI think I'll have to switch to another IRC client soon.01:42
lloydinhoyes?01:42
mdkeproposal 1 doesn't differ from the current one, right?01:42
mdkeI find proposal 2 painful to look at, but I replied on-list now01:43
lloydinhoNot much, it just adds a link to the local languages support page.01:43
mdkeright, that link should definitely be there, well spotted01:44
lloydinhothanks. About the aggressive colours on the buttons, you're probably right.01:46
mdkewhat's the rationale behind buttons in the first place? it's not something used on other pages, afaik01:47
lloydinhoWell, to make it easy to access the relevant support options.01:48
lloydinhoJust one click on the button, and you're on #ubuntu-users..01:48
mdkeare those irc links supported on Ubuntu? I thought they weren;t01:49
mdkebut if so, we could have those links without buttons01:49
mdkeperhaps it is their size that bothers me01:49
lloydinhoHmm. Well, I couldn't get them to work properly, so maybe they aren't. But it would be a neat thing to have.01:50
mdkeI'm not 100% sure that moin even supports linking on an image tbh01:50
lloydinhoWell, the ones that the art team came up with initially were even bigger.01:50
lloydinhoreally?01:50
lloydinhoI thought it did. I'll have to check again.01:50
lloydinhoThe size of the buttons are mostly in order to contain the text as well.01:51
lloydinhoanyway, the problem I sought to solve was, when you access the Community Support page, it isn't immediately obvious where you should click to get support.01:52
lloydinhoWith the big buttons there, it should be self-evident.01:52
mdkecan we improve that by better headings (i.e. use the headings you have used in the buttons) and adding icons?01:53
lloydinhoquite possibly.01:54
mdkelet's try the heading change now01:54
lloydinhookay. will you do it or should I?01:55
mdkeI'll do it directly on the website01:56
mdkeit's a minor change really01:56
lloydinhookay. Cool.01:56
mdkewhat about removing "bug tracker" and "the ubuntu website" sections, they don't really have support at all.01:57
lloydinhoyes, I did remove that in my mockup.01:57
lloydinhoI think maybe we'll add a section on "Community Tools" to introduce Malone, Rosetta etc. in the Contribute doc.01:59
mdkecool01:59
mdkeok, I've done the change, waiting for it to appear on the live website01:59
mdkeok, it's there01:59
lloydinhois this the support/free page?02:01
lloydinhoI don't see any changes at all.02:01
mdkereload?02:01
mdkehttp://www.ubuntu.com/support/free?action=diff&rev2=8&rev1=4 are my changes02:02
lloydinhookay, now I got them. Strange..02:03
=== jsgotangco [n=jsg123@ubuntu/member/jsgotangco] has joined #ubuntu-doc
lloydinholooks better, I think. Maybe it would help if the headers were directly clickable..?02:04
lloydinhoA bigger target would be easier to hit.02:05
mdkeyou can't link headings in moin02:05
mdkewe could make them normal (bold) text with links, I suppose02:06
mdkeor do some css trickery, maybe02:06
