EleafWhat's up doc?04:50
EleafRespond doccers.04:52
LaserJocknot much04:52
EleafThis is vast LaserJock04:53
EleafHow can I make documentation?04:59
EleafWould a tutorial be considered documentation?05:00
LaserJockcould be05:00
LaserJockare you familiar with the Ubuntu help wiki?05:00
LaserJockhttp://help.ubuntu.com/community05:00
EleafI am familiar with the wiki05:00
LaserJockyou can add to that, that's a good way to help with documentation05:00
Eleafis there a difference with putting stuff just in the normal ubuntu wiki vs. documentation wiki?05:01
LaserJockyou could also help with the documentation that is shipped with Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu/Edubuntu05:01
LaserJockyes there is05:01
Eleafwhat is that?05:01
LaserJockthe normal wiki (wiki.ubuntu.com) is for development coordination05:02
LaserJockspecifications, team todo lists, etc.05:02
EleafI usually see more tutorials on the wiki.ubuntu one.05:02
LaserJockthey shouldn't be05:02
EleafLike how to do things05:02
LaserJockall "help" type documentation should be on help.ubuntu.com05:02
Eleaflike mp3 support, etc.05:02
LaserJocknah, that's been moved to the help wiki05:03
LaserJockit *used* to be on wiki.u.c05:03
LaserJockbut it was moved and redirects put up05:03
Eleafoh I guess so.05:03
EleafI see, redirect.05:03
EleafWhat should I write something on?05:04
LaserJockwhatever you like05:04
EleafI know but I need suggestions now.05:04
LaserJockok05:04
LaserJockI think https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CategoryCleanup is the current list of wiki pages that need work done on them05:05
EleafLaserJock, is it okay if I make my own art for the pages?05:06
LaserJockwell, you could05:06
LaserJockbut you probably want to be careful not to do too much05:06
LaserJockyou might want to ask the doc team mailing list05:07
LaserJockabout how to best do it05:07
Eleafmy own icons ;)05:07
Eleafor have a waterfall with ponies all over!05:08
LaserJockhmm, well those might not be very appropriate for the help wiki05:09
Eleafit could be.05:10
EleafLaserJock, it says I'm not logged in, but when I log in, it says I'm already logged in.05:12
Eleafnow it's working..05:12
LaserJockyeah, so you need to go back to the page you were at before you logged in05:12
EleafI know but even then it wouldn't work.05:13
Eleafgrr, the ubuntu wiki is so slow..05:13
Eleafespecially when saving preferences...  Takes about 1 minute to respond..05:13
LaserJockit can be yes05:13
LaserJocklots of people use it05:14
Eleafstill..05:16
Eleafxchat annoys me with chanserv, the chanserv output always goes into a random tab I'm not using..05:17
Eleafrandom channel.05:17
