FireRabbithey there, what should be done when there are two pages with the same name on wiki.ubuntu.com and help.ubuntu.com/community, with different information?01:28
LaserJockouch01:29
BurgworkFireRabbit, which pages?01:29
FireRabbithttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/HelpingWithBugs https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HelpingWithBugs01:29
Burgworklet me see01:29
FireRabbiti dont really understand wiki.ubuntu.com's purpose anymore01:29
Burgworkit has development stuff and team stuff01:30
Burgworkanything that is not help01:30
FireRabbitokay01:30
FireRabbitso is this considered help?01:30
Burgworkokay, so in this case, I am going to redirect the help wiki one back to the main wiki01:30
FireRabbitokay01:30
FireRabbithttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs in that case, this page should not link to the help one01:31
FireRabbitin fact, why is this page on help.ubuntu.com at all?01:31
Burgworkreporting bugs is a help page01:31
Burgworkhelping with bugs is for developing ubuntu01:31
FireRabbitokay, fair enough01:31
FireRabbitwould you like me to fix the link on there then?01:32
Burgworkalready done01:32
FireRabbitah, great01:32
Burgworklet the redirect catch it01:32
FireRabbitoh, ok, why not.01:32
FireRabbitthanks for taking care of that, i wasnt clear on the policy01:34
Burgworkno worries01:35

Burgworkin general, if it is help, it should be on help01:35
FireRabbitokay01:35
Burgworkif it isn't, it shoudl be on wiki01:35
FireRabbithttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/ApacheRailsFCGI so this page should be moved01:35
JoseStefanwhat does "Trivial Change" mean on the wiki? is there a wiki guide?01:35
FireRabbitJoseStefan: I believe that's used to mark the difference between a lot of new content on the page, vs. simple spelling mistakes, etc.01:37
LaserJockJoseStefan: in a practical sense, it just means people aren't going to get email that you made the change01:37
JoseStefanthanks01:37
BurgworkFireRabbit, yes, move it and put a refresh in place01:38
FireRabbitokay01:38
FireRabbitis there some way to move it to the other website, rather than copying/pasting the markup?01:38
=== JoseStefan [i=Stealth@171sdl30m49.codetel.net.do] has left #ubuntu-doc []
BurgworkFireRabbit, copy paste is currently the way01:40
FireRabbitok. sucks that you loose the revision history.01:41
Burgworksort of01:41
Burgworkthe revision history is saved on the old page01:41
FireRabbitright01:41
FireRabbituh, whats the markup to do a redirect?01:44

jsgotangcojjesse: im *sure* you are comming to mountain view ;)03:47
Donkyes, but i haven't seen anything03:47
jjesseyou can either create new bugs in launchpad, or email the ubuntu-doc team (ubuntu-doc@lists.ubuntu.com) with the bugs03:48
Donkcan i send a copy of the html page with the correction?03:49
jsgotangcoDonk: well its in xml source, the HTML you see online is an automated published copy03:50
jsgotangcoit would be better to send a bug report or a patch to the xml (if you know how to do it) so we could just let it publish itself03:51
jsgotangcoa bug report would be better since it'll be noticed for sure, if not no today but in the coming days as well03:51
Donkwhat is the best way to indicate where are the mistake in the page03:52
jsgotangcojust tell what section the mistake is located since the source is structured enough it can be spotted for sure03:53
Donkok, i make a bug report03:55

LaserJockI'm a little uncertain of what's all going on with docs06:45
LaserJockand I'd like a doc freeze exception of a couple days for the packaging guide06:46
LaserJockI'm almost done cleaning it up06:46
trappistwe're frozen?06:46
LaserJockI think so06:46

LaserJockwell, that's the thing06:47
LaserJockwith mdke gone it seems we are a bit chaotic :-)06:47
LaserJockyeah string freeze was the 14th06:47
=== trappist :q!'s
LaserJockwere you working on stuff?06:51
trappistyeah, but it may not be relevant to the string freeze (shouldn't affect translators).  Basically typo fixes and such.06:51
LaserJockwell, this is the thing06:53
LaserJockI'm not sure when we are going to start translation06:53
LaserJockI wonder if we should ask mdz about moving the doc freeze until mdke is back06:53
trappistafaik there's not much point in a string freeze until we're ready to start translation06:54

LaserJock argg06:56
nixternalLaserJock: +1 on the moving it until mdke is back ;)07:04
LaserJockI just don't know what we're going to do07:04
nixternalim really not happy with the current "status" of some of the docs...as i think there needs to be some proofing done, as well as some changes/additions07:04
nixternalespecially to anything dealing with "support"07:04
nixternalas that has totally changed from dapper > edgy07:05
LaserJockyeah, we haven't done much of any proofreading yet07:05
LaserJockBurgwork: ping?07:06
LaserJockI'm not sure how to procced07:06
BurgworkLaserJock, pong07:06
trappistI *know* it's not necessary to reboot for a hostname change.  I just know it.  any of you guys know how to make it stick, so I can fix this here doc?07:06
LaserJockBurgwork: do you think it would be possible to move the doc freeze until after matthew gets back?07:07
Burgworkneed to ask the distro team, meaning matt07:07
Burgworkmdz, rather07:07
LaserJockk07:07
LaserJockBurgwork: would you be opposed?07:07
Burgworknope07:08
trappistwe should probably ask the translators07:08
trappistfor all I know they're already hard at work07:08
LaserJocktranslation hasn't started yet thoug07:08
LaserJockI don't think07:08
nixternalno translation yet..they are waiting though07:08
LaserJockI don't know that anybody has put up .pots07:08
nixternallike a bunch of sharks in a feeding frenzy they are ;)07:08
nixternalno .pots yet07:08
LaserJockI don't even know who can07:08
LaserJockoh stink, it does look like some of the translators are antsy07:16
LaserJockanybody know when Matthew gets back?07:21
Burgworkone week or so?07:30
LaserJockok, just got the ok from mdz for the 21st07:30
LaserJockthat's beta freeze07:30

jjessenixternal: have you gotten Riddell to review the release ntoes?07:43

trappisthey, how is 'xubuntu' pronounced?  that is, is it 'a xubuntu system' or 'an xubuntu system'07:55
LaserJockat Paris I heard it as zubuntu07:56
LaserJockso I say "a xubuntu system"07:56
trappistcool07:59
trappistI've been saying exubuntu07:59
osgI thought it was "exubuntu".08:15
nixternali have heard it pronounced every which way imaginable08:15
osgWhat does the x stand for?08:16
nixternal /zoo-BOON-too/ is correct08:16
nixternalXfce08:16
osgIt just seems really really that an x is pronounced as a z.08:18
osgodd, that is.08:18
osgBut, it is not an English word, I presume.08:19
jjessedoes it mean anything?08:19

nixternalXerox08:20
osg"XForms Common Environment"08:20
osgGood example!08:20
osg:)08:20
nixternalhehe08:21
osgSo, is that said "Zforms Common Environment"?08:21
nixternalChicago == Xerox Capital ;)08:21
osgheh08:21
jjesseno does xubuntu mean anything/08:21
nixternaloh..not that i know of08:21
nixternallike kubuntu means towards humanit08:21
nixternaland what not08:21
osghttps://help.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/introduction-chap.html08:22
osgThe name Xubuntu indicates the combination of the Xfce Desktop Environment with Ubuntu. Xfce used to stand for "XForms Common Environment", but since it's not based on XForms anymore, does not mean anything today. Ubuntu means approximately "humanity towards others" in the languages of Zulu and Xhosa. Combined, it does not really mean anything.08:22
osgMaybe it would be good to add a pronunciation like (zoo-BOON-too) to the docs.  :)08:23
jjessegood idea08:24
osgThe the correct article is a non-issue.  :)08:24
jjesseii'm bored at work :(08:25
osgI think that I will get more involved with docs after this deadline occurs so that I can come up to speed on how its all done.08:25
osgHas it become easier to map the source files with the output files?08:26
nixternalosg, i will be awaiting your "pronunciation" patch ;)08:26
osgFor example, 123.xml --> 123.xml08:26
nixternalactually...someone has been doing a lot of xubuntu commits recently08:27
osgnixternal, I would like to make changes, but I need a little more time figuring out where all the source files are that relate to the output files.08:27
nixternalmaybe talk to them08:27
nixternalya08:27
nixternalwith kubuntu/kde it is easy to figure out the source files with khelpcenter08:27
nixternaloh wait08:27
nixternalif you look at the top of each page, you will see the source package name08:27
nixternalit is usually <centered>08:28
nixternalbrb..showah powah time08:28
osgIf I can really easily see blah.html needs a correction and go to blah.xml, I can work at blazing speed.08:28
osgIf not, I tend to be an impatient person.  :)08:29
