mdkenixternal: not sure about the firefox page. For everything else, you just wait12:29
etchian_Tx, bodhi_zazen12:41
bodhi_zazenLOL, I should be thanking you for bringing that wiki page to my attention :)12:41
LaserJockhi mdke12:43
LaserJockare you really up? it's gotta be really late or really early12:43
etchian_Well, I was reading the wiki...12:44
mdkeLaserJock: going to bed now01:10
LaserJockmdke: do you still need a list of Edubuntu topics for yelp?01:11
mdkeLaserJock: yep please, with scrollkeeper ids if possible01:11
LaserJockmdke: ok, I'll get that cleared up and email you01:12
mdkethanks01:12
mdkeI thought there would just be one01:12
mdkehow many are there?01:12
LaserJockwell, About Edubuntu and the Edubuntu Handbook for sure01:14
LaserJockwe also have a short sort of advocacy/marketing type doc in the repo01:14
LaserJockas well as Release Notes which we are going to remove01:15
LaserJockthe advocacy doc would be similar to the About Edubuntu I suppose01:15
mdkewe haven't got about ubuntu in the list for Ubuntu, on the basis that it isn't Help01:15
mdkeyou could maybe think about something similar, just have it in the menu...01:15
mdkeanyhow, shoot me an email01:15
LaserJockin the gnome menu?01:15
mdkeyes01:16
LaserJockahh, not sure how hard that'd be01:16
LaserJockI'll ask ogra and get back to you01:16
mdkeI assumed it was there already01:16
LaserJockno01:16
mdkeok01:16
LaserJockso far Edubuntu menus and help have been entirely Ubuntu01:16
mdkeI'll wait for your email, no immediate rush anyhow, it's not a string break01:16
mdkegood night01:16
LaserJockthis is the first release that'll have any sort of Edubuntu branding for docs01:16

CIA-10Ubuntu Documentation: mdke feisty * r3980 / (19 files in 19 dirs): updating pot templates, some new strings09:24
CIA-10Ubuntu Documentation: mdke feisty * r3981 /debian/changelog: changelog entry09:26
mdkecrap, ubuntu/windows/C/windows.xml isn't working very well09:41
mdkempt: about that. At the moment we've simply imported wholesale a few of the chapters from the "Switching from Windows" guide, but it isn't working09:42
mdkempt: for a start, the chapter on migrating cross refers heavily to the chapter on "preparing", which we've omitted09:42
mdkempt: your ideas about how to solve that are appreciated!!! :)09:42
mdkeand anyone else's too09:42
mptmdke, has anyone translated it yet?09:54
CIA-10Ubuntu Documentation: mdke feisty * r3982 / (4 files in 4 dirs):09:56
CIA-10Ubuntu Documentation: * fixing invalidity in administrative.xml - string freeze09:56
CIA-10Ubuntu Documentation: exception, sorry but it's unavoidable09:56
CIA-10Ubuntu Documentation: * removing pot template for switching to windows - this is not to be09:56
CIA-10Ubuntu Documentation: translated09:56
mdkempt: no09:56
mptmdke, so are there any administrative problems with breaking string freeze in that case?09:56
mdkempt: no, it's bad enough that if we do it quickly it should be no problem09:57
mdkewhat are you thinking?09:57
mptaltering it to remove the references09:57
mdkeI was thinking that the "preparing" and "migrating" chapters are kinda interdependent09:58
mdkenot sure that one can sit ok without the other09:58
=== mpt updates to read the chapter in question
mdkemaybe we should include the preparing chapter, after all people who've installed a dual boot system can go back to windows and do that stuff10:00
mptoh, "and have followed the instructions in the chapter"10:00
mpt___ chapter10:00
mpthrmmm10:00
mptI see10:01
mptmdke, I concur10:01
mptIncluding the chapter would be better10:01
mdkeok, we'll do that10:02
mdkei'll raise it on the ML10:04
mdkethanks mpt10:04

Knightlustnixternal: yeah, im here, its pretty minor, its just that i dont think it's only Kubuntu who has it. i think all the other distro has it and accdg. to the copyright, it was last updated 2002 and we just need to add a feature05:04
Knightlustwell, will be documenting this and i'll pm you before i send my draft.05:04
Knightlustor do i file this as bug?05:05
nixternalwhat doc are we talking about?05:18
Knightlustnixternal, the kooka doc05:18
nixternalhave you checked websvn.kde.org to see if the kooka doc is the same there as it is in Kubuntu?05:19
nixternalactually, Knightlust this would 99.9% of the time be a KDE issue05:19
Knightlustthat's what i thought, that's why i asked in #kde-docs. well, im checking on the process05:20
Knightlustand thanks for your help nixternal05:20
nixternalKnightlust: no problem. just to note, this issue hasn't been reported in bugs.kde.org so you would be fine adding that as a bug, and then note in it that you are working on it05:22

LaserJocknixternal: well, I was digging around to figure out what to do with About Edubuntu07:02
nixternalthe newest one I created?07:02
LaserJockAbout Ubuntu is done via a .desktop file shipped with gnome-panel-data07:02
LaserJockso it appears in the System menu07:03
nixternalcreate an aboutedubuntu.desktop07:03
LaserJockI think we could ship an About Edubuntu in edubuntu-docs07:03
LaserJockand I think it should add to the menu07:03
LaserJockthen the only think we'll add to the yelp frontpage is the Handbook07:03

LaserJockmdke: do you know off hand how the About Ubuntu item gets there?09:02
mdkedsas: most of it09:02
LaserJockdsas: well, certain parts are GPL, scripts and stuff09:02
mdkeLaserJock: it's in gnome-panel I guess09:03
dsasLaserJock: the one in the menus comes from gnome-panel-data09:03
LaserJockif it only looks for GPL in the copyright it will find GPL09:03
LaserJockI know *where* it comes from09:03
LaserJockI'm trying to figure out how  it gets in the menu09:03
mdkenixternal: for translations - no need to do any uploads as long as the pot templates are in the package in the archive, I've asked carlos to handle everything else09:03
LaserJockI'm thinking it's got to be hard coded somewhere09:03
mdkenixternal: as for firefox, no idea - we do it manually09:03
mdkeLaserJock: ask seb I guess09:04
LaserJockmdke: that's not my favorite answer, but oh well09:04
mdkeit's the only one I guess09:05
LaserJockmdke: is relation seriesid="ca0556e4-b4db-11db-866f-a1b2f0a0b745" what you are looking for the yelp frontpage?09:05
mdkeLaserJock: that sort of thing yeah09:05
LaserJockmdke: what more do you need? we decided the Edubuntu Handbook would be all we'll put in09:06
LaserJockso that's the seriesid in the .omf09:06
mdkeLaserJock: that's enough then09:06
mdkecan you mail it too, I'm a bit frantic atm09:07

LaserJockwell, yeah09:09
LaserJockthat's where it is installed09:09
LaserJockI need to figure out how it gets in the menu09:09
LaserJockI copied the about-ubuntu.desktop to about-edubuntu.desktop and changed the names09:09

LaserJockbut it doesn't seem to show up09:09
