wastreli am making a wiki howto04:40
tonyyarussoSomething like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide?04:43
wastrelno, i mean i'm making a howto on the wiki.  the subject is not actually wiki04:44
wastrelit seems the english language has failed us again.04:44
=== wastrel curses ambiguous modifiers.
tonyyarussoaaah04:44
tonyyarussoSweet, what on?04:44
wastrelpalm pilot sync04:45
tonyyarussoNever owned one, but would be useful if I did.04:45
wastreli am putting up an outline and will begin to flesh it out 04:47
Madpilotwastrel, have you had a look on help.ubuntu.com/community for existing PalmPilot stuff?04:48
wastrelyes i found 4 howtos, but none high-level general ones like i'm going to do04:49
Madpilotany chance of convincing you to edit one (or more) of the existing ones into something better? We're trying hard not to have piles of overlapping howtos on the wiki04:53
wastreloverlapping eh04:53
wastreli can edit but i don't like the titles 04:53
Madpilotcreate a new page w/ a good title, take the best of the existing ones, then redirect the older ones to the new combined page04:54
wastrelthat i can do04:54
wastrelIs there a convention for titles  FooHowto or  FooHowTo  ?05:00
Madpilotideally, leave the HowTo out - just FooSomething. It's on the help wiki, it's safe to assume it's a Howto of sorts05:08

nixternalTheRealEasyUbuntu <- that is my next one Im working on05:23
tonyyarussoSimpler than EasyMac!05:26
tonyyarusso...I just realized that could refer to the computers as well as the food (my original intention)05:26
nixternali will put the entire command on one line05:26
nixternalthe worlds largest single line hack05:26
tonyyarussoThen alias it by default to "gimmeallthegoodstuff"05:28
nixternalyup05:35
nixternaland my way will guarantee that you will not bork your upgrades like this so called 3rd party applications..which they aren't, they are mearly poorly written ready to break scripts ;)05:35
nixternali know there is an easy ubuntu person in here too..i can't wait for them to read ^^05:36

PenguinistaKCSilly newbie question: I would like to edit the SSHHowto in the Community Wiki to add instructions for using X over SSH and for using ssh_add when starting a KDE session. Do I need to send an e-mail to the docteam list when that is completed?05:54
PenguinistaKCThe page is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto.05:55
tonyyarussoPenguinistaKC: When you edit a wiki page certain people will be e-mailed automatically.  (In fact, you can subscribe to any page you like as well)05:56
PenguinistaKCCool, thanks.05:57
tonyyarussoNow I wonder who the insane people are who are subscribed to the whole wiki05:59
wastrelhi06:00
Madpilottonyyarusso, well, they're insane, for starters ;)06:00
tonyyarussoNot like anyone we know I'm sure..06:01
