etchian_How many people are part of your documentation team, overall?11:23
nixternaletchian_: quite a few, only a handful really active right now though11:25
etchian_is that 10, 100 or 1000?11:28
dsasetchian_: there's probably less than 10 active.11:29
nixternal20 at the most, less than.......what dsas just said11:29
etchian_So who writes the doc then?  Canonical?11:30
nixternaletchian_: nope, hopeless people like us11:30
nixternalwell at least I am hopeless, I would rather not speak on everyone's behalf11:30
etchian_So you mean you have a team of about 10 people to write the whole stuff.  Wow.11:31
etchian_Ever thought of changing your documentation team approach in the wiki?11:31
LaserJockheh11:32
LaserJockwe do what we can11:32
LaserJockif you have a better idea we're all ears :-)11:33
etchian_just a sec11:33
=== nixternal is listening while trying to study
LaserJocknixternal: did you catch the doc stuff from the Edubuntu meeting11:34
nixternalkind of. I can't figure out what LTSP docs he is talking about11:35
nixternalthat would be bad if people are writing docs and not sharing here11:35
LaserJocknixternal: that stuff sbalneav wrote11:35
LaserJocknixternal: ogra said it's not there11:35
nixternalit is there, everything that he wrote and put on HedgeMage's server is in our docs11:36
nixternalunless he has been writing behind the scenes11:36
etchian_What I am trying to understand, nixternal, is how can one help without having to deal with all these "ja buts" on the wiki about the documentation.11:36
nixternalja buts? that is a new one to me11:37
nixternalhehe11:37
etchian_It leaves the impression that unless you really are wiz-guru crack and a very good writer you better abstain.11:37
nixternaletchian_: that would be the furthest from the truth, take me for example11:37
LaserJocketchian_: where do you get that impression?11:38
nixternalthere is no doubt our wiki docs need to be updated (2yr+ in age)11:38
etchian_I read the wiki documentation - learn the style, learn to communicate, learn to be concise, know the other pages so you don't repeat.11:38
etchian_Join a team (and how is somewhat evasive), fill those in progress, done, flag, "in approbation" (that was another term, but I forgot).11:39
etchian_In the end, I just figured it would be simpler to make my own blog.11:39
etchian_How many people react like me.  Looks like a lot, from the doc member numbers you are giving me here.11:40
LaserJockhmm11:41
LaserJockI just got an account and started editing11:41
LaserJocknot much to it11:41
dsasmaybe we should just have "it'd be nice if you read this stuff, but if you can't be bothered just start writing"11:41
etchian_That's what I usually do.  Then I get noticed because I tend to be consistent, then... and the whole process develops.11:41
LaserJockwell, I personally don't want people to working on the wiki if they aren't going to write anything decent11:42
LaserJockbecause then we have to go fix it11:42
etchian_And I acknowledge that it is a very difficult job you are doing.11:42
LaserJockit's mostly just time consuming11:42
LaserJockbecause, as you said, we don't have a lot of people11:42
etchian_We're back to :  better be sure you make a good job before doing anything.  It's a circular thing.11:43
etchian_OK.  Fair enough. I was just curious.11:43
LaserJockwell, I'm just saying we need to "try" to have some sort of quality threshold11:43
LaserJockbut maybe the docs aren't very clear that it's a pretty low bar11:44
LaserJockwe certainly don't want to scare people off11:44

etchian_Well, if you are difficult to approach you will continue seeing good documentation being developed outside the Ubuntu mother-ship.11:46
LaserJockare we difficult to approach?11:47
etchian_Yes.11:47
LaserJockI think of the doc team as being very approachable11:47
LaserJockthe wiki is open to all11:47
LaserJockwe have open communications11:47
LaserJockwe encourage contributions11:47
LaserJockI'm not quite sure why we'd be unapproachable :(11:48
