[04:40] <wastrel> hi
[04:40] <wastrel> i am making a wiki howto
[04:43] <tonyyarusso> Something like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide?
[04:44] <wastrel> no, i mean i'm making a howto on the wiki.  the subject is not actually wiki
[04:44] <wastrel> it seems the english language has failed us again.
[04:44] <tonyyarusso> aaah
[04:44] <tonyyarusso> Sweet, what on?
[04:45] <wastrel> palm pilot sync
[04:45] <tonyyarusso> Never owned one, but would be useful if I did.
[04:47] <wastrel> i am putting up an outline and will begin to flesh it out 
[04:48] <Madpilot> wastrel, have you had a look on help.ubuntu.com/community for existing PalmPilot stuff?
[04:49] <wastrel> yes i found 4 howtos, but none high-level general ones like i'm going to do
[04:53] <Madpilot> any 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 wiki
[04:53] <wastrel> overlapping eh
[04:53] <wastrel> i can edit but i don't like the titles 
[04:54] <Madpilot> create a new page w/ a good title, take the best of the existing ones, then redirect the older ones to the new combined page
[04:54] <wastrel> that i can do
[05:00] <wastrel> Is there a convention for titles  FooHowto or  FooHowTo  ?
[05:08] <Madpilot> ideally, leave the HowTo out - just FooSomething. It's on the help wiki, it's safe to assume it's a Howto of sorts
[05:12] <wastrel> ok
[05:23] <nixternal> TheRealEasyUbuntu <- that is my next one Im working on
[05:26] <tonyyarusso> Simpler than EasyMac!
[05:26] <tonyyarusso> ...I just realized that could refer to the computers as well as the food (my original intention)
[05:26] <nixternal> i will put the entire command on one line
[05:26] <nixternal> the worlds largest single line hack
[05:28] <tonyyarusso> Then alias it by default to "gimmeallthegoodstuff"
[05:35] <nixternal> yup
[05:35] <nixternal> and 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 ;)
[05:36] <nixternal> i know there is an easy ubuntu person in here too..i can't wait for them to read ^^
[05:54] <PenguinistaKC> Silly 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?
[05:55] <PenguinistaKC> The page is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto.
[05:56] <tonyyarusso> PenguinistaKC: 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)
[05:57] <PenguinistaKC> Cool, thanks.
[05:59] <tonyyarusso> Now I wonder who the insane people are who are subscribed to the whole wiki
[06:00] <wastrel> hi
[06:00] <Madpilot> tonyyarusso, well, they're insane, for starters ;)
[06:01] <tonyyarusso> Not like anyone we know I'm sure..
[05:29] <CarlF1> what is the right way to create a link on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CarlKarsten to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpdatingADeb
[05:31] <CarlF1> used to be just UpdatingADeb but that broke when half of wiki became help 
[07:01] <Burgwork> CarlFK: just link it
[07:48] <nixternal> Seveas: you are sick dude, chicken coke smoothie...that is a great way to start the morning ! ;)
[07:51] <Seveas> nixternal, :D
[07:52] <nixternal> im heeding the warning on that one...just doesn't even look right
[11:54] <LaserJock> Burgwork:  hmm, interesting little convo over in -devel
[11:54] <Burgwork> LaserJock: yay! ubuntuguide!
[11:58] <LaserJock> not that the wiki is a ton better
[11:58] <LaserJock> but it's got more eyes
[11:58] <LaserJock> looking over it
[12:07] <Burgwork> yes, much more
