crimsunmdke: out of curiosity, is your blog regarding open week & getting involved in -doc linked from [any site in]  the topic?01:07
crimsun(it saves me having to pull down that url each time someone asks)01:07
mdkecrimsun: I don't think so01:07
crimsunit's a great perspective and intro, and it's worth displaying somewhere01:08
mdkeI don't remember if the topic is locked or not01:08
crimsundoesn't appear to be.01:09

ryanakcawich copies them from TLDP02:35
theCorehmm02:35
theCorewouldn't better to work directly with the SGML version?02:35
theCorewouldn't be*02:35
theCoreas I remember the HTML version isn't the easiest thing to work with...02:36
theCoreand your changes would need to be updated when they regenerate the docs02:37
theCoreoh, I think they converting some of their docs to DocBook02:39
theCorethat is neat02:39
theCoreI wonder whether Yelp support SGML ...02:43
mdkei would think it probably does02:44
theCorenah... SGML documents are no longer supported. Please ask the author of the document to convert to XML.02:44
theCorehmm... SGML seems quite similar to DocBook02:46
theCoreI don't think it would be hard to convert all the docs02:47
theCorejust extremely painful to do manually02:47

nixternalmight be the about-kubuntu.xml as well08:01
nixternali will have to look at it again08:01
nixternalbut that will eventually be absorbed into the ubiquity slideshow so i am sure it will change08:01

mdkehi linuxphotogeek, all well with your svn access?02:29
linuxphotogeekmdke: no. Haven't  heard a word02:35
linuxphotogeekassume they will email me?02:35
mdkelinuxphotogeek: I'm told they did02:36
linuxphotogeekchecking spam02:36
mdkethis is you, right? https://launchpad.net/people/linux.photo.geek02:36
mdkeit was likely from james.troup@(ubuntu|canonical).com02:37
linuxphotogeekfound it in the spam02:38
linuxphotogeekbad spam filter02:38
mdkeheh02:38
mdkeyou're going to have to merge your changes with those made by bdmurray yesterday02:38
mdke(to the same file)02:39
linuxphotogeekwhat do that mean? is there a simple way to do that without re editing the file in my tree?02:40
linuxphotogeekStill learning svn02:40
mdkeI don't know of one. I think what you need to do is to delete the file, svn up it from the server, then try and apply your patch to the new file02:40
mdkeif that makes sense02:40
mdkeprobably there is a clever way to merge em, but I never read up02:41
linuxphotogeekthanks - the changes are trivial so no problem.02:42
linuxphotogeekI'm looking at scanner doc and question how to structure printing.xml02:43
mdkegreat.02:43
mdkeI'm happy to have two new people on board :)02:44
linuxphotogeekRight now printing is an <article> should I change it to a <chapter>?02:44
linuxphotogeekand add scanning as a <section>02:44
mdkeit can't be a chapter, because there is nothing for it to be a chapter of :) as a top level topic, it has to either be an <article> or a <book>02:45
mdkelet's leave it as an <article> and add scanning as a new section02:45
linuxphotogeekthere is no sections in the article now so this will be the first02:46
mdkeeh?02:47
mdkethere should be three, iirc02:47
linuxphotogeekI'm taking https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo massaging it02:47
mdkethere are three sections in printing.xml02:48
linuxphotogeekopps! your right02:48
linuxphotogeekI don't see how scanning will fit as a forth section after local, network and testing a printer02:49
linuxphotogeekagain seem so unrelated02:50
mdkewe might have to restructure a bit. Maybe have three sections, Printers, Faxing, Scanning or something, then have subsections of those02:50
linuxphotogeekah! more like what I was thinking02:50
linuxphotogeekdoes this become a chapter then?02:51
mdkeno, still an article :)02:51
mdkewell, actually, it doesn't really make any difference02:51
linuxphotogeekdon't know02:52
mdkefor now, let's keep it an article02:52
linuxphotogeekLet's leave as article and02:52
linuxphotogeekrestructure into three sections like above02:53
linuxphotogeekok?02:53
mdkeyeah, sure thing02:53
