[02:57] <jjesse> hey nixternal nice job on the documents and getting kudos from riddell :)
[02:57] <jjesse> hopefully for gibbon i can be more active in the docs :)
[03:21] <nixternal> gibbon docs are all yours ;)
[04:12] <ryanakca> anybody have the power to update https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes ?
[04:12] <nixternal> huh
[04:12] <nixternal> more than likely not
[04:12] <nixternal> I don't have power to do anything
[04:12] <ryanakca> kk, thanks anywais
[04:13] <ryanakca> no?
[04:13] <nixternal> I am checking
[04:13] <nixternal> immutable page
[04:13] <ryanakca> well, you write all the documentation, don't you?
[04:13] <nixternal> that is why I leave that stupid wiki alone
[04:13] <ryanakca> shucks... must be a canonical only page
[04:13] <nixternal> not all, but some
[04:13] <nixternal> I need ice cream
[04:14] <ryanakca> you could just say "To restart your computer, go `rm -fr /`"... that's powerful enough, isn't it?
[04:14] <ryanakca> and a good chunk of people would be gullible enough to believe it
[04:15] <ryanakca> DISCLAIMER: `rm -fr /` does not restart your computer. It irreversibly erases all data under / . You are solely responsible if you execute that command.
[04:16] <nixternal> mmm
[04:16] <nixternal> lol
[04:17] <ryanakca> :)
[09:29] <kwah> hi all
[09:35] <kwah> ops
[09:35] <kwah> hi, feisty release and upgrade notes
[09:36] <kwah> I guess they were initially in the wiki
[09:36] <kwah> but now those pages are just redirects
[09:37] <kwah> how can I get the final wiki page with layout etc, I want to translate it
[09:37] <kwah> ???
[09:40] <mpt> kwah, what was the address that redirected?
[09:42] <mpt> I can find BreezyReleaseNotes, DapperReleaseNotes, EdgyReleaseNotes, but no FeistyReleaseNotes
[09:43] <kwah> I actually more interested in Upgrade notes? just a moment
[09:44] <kwah> mpt, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyUpgrades?highlight=%28Feisty%29
[09:44] <kwah> oops, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyUpgrades :)
[09:44] <mpt> ok
[09:45] <mpt> Why do you want to translate that page instead of the one on the official Web site?
[09:45] <mpt> ok, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyUpgrades never contained anything except a redirect to help.ubuntu.com
[09:46] <kwah> I just lazy :) I want to have the final layout of the page with all tags and stuff.
[09:46] <kwah> and translate it in place
[09:47] <kwah> I mean, just take as a source last version of FeistyUpgrades, copy it to say FeistyUpgradesRu
[09:47] <kwah> in this way more then one person can do that, incrimentally
[09:50] <mpt> Ah, so you're wanting to put it on another wiki
[09:50] <mpt> kwah, here's the last version before people started trying to replace it with a redirect
[09:50] <mpt> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades?action=recall&rev=43
[09:51] <mpt> If you want to copy the wiki markup, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades?action=raw&rev=43
[09:51] <kwah> in fact in the same wiki, but translated. Thanks.
[09:53] <mpt> In future, when you want to look at previous versions of a page that's been turned into a redirect, add "?action=info" to the end of the URL.
[09:54] <kwah> Ok. Thanks mpt!
[09:55] <mpt> you're welcome :-)
[09:58] <kwah> by the way, was there any ideas on organizing translations etc.?
[09:58] <kwah> *were
[09:59] <kwah> I mean, currently, if I translate some page, I just create a new page like SomePage -> SomePageRU
[10:01] <kwah> I was thinking about some automatic mechanism, that will indicate on the original wiki pages, about the available translations
[10:02] <kwah> May be there are tools about which I just do not know? %)
[11:06] <mpt> kwah, I know of no organized translation plan yet
[11:06] <mpt> Though the Ubuntu Documentation Team have discussed it in the past
[11:27] <kwah> ok. thanks.
[11:28] <kwah> although, it is not really ok :(
[02:46] <_voila> hello guys
[02:47] <_voila> is there a document somewhere that details how to install and configure DNS on Edgy ?
[02:50] <popey> a dns server?
[02:50] <_voila> yes
[02:50] <popey> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto
[02:53] <_voila> thank you
[03:23] <bodhi_zazen> Anyone here willing to take a suggestion for the upgrade to feisty wiki page ?
[03:24] <bodhi_zazen> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades
[03:25] <popey> fire away
[03:29] <bodhi_zazen> OK I wanted to give advice on how to do a fresh install an maintain all your currently installed applications
[03:29] <bodhi_zazen> like in this thread : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?&p=2473864#post2473864
[03:30] <bodhi_zazen> I am thinking of adding some advice here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgradesFreshInstall
[03:30] <bodhi_zazen> but I can not create a new page
[03:43] <ubotu> New bug: #108083 in ubuntu-docs (main) "The default firefox start page doesn't link to ubuntu.com" [Undecided,Unconfirmed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/108083
[04:01] <bodhi_zazen> OK I made a page here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgradesFreshInstall#preview
[04:02] <bodhi_zazen> any thoughts to improvements or linking it here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades
[09:20] <mdke> nixternal: yes, I'm not sure what to do about help.ubuntu.com. No one really replied to the thread I started asking for ideas, and I haven't had any
[09:34] <shwag> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook?action=info
[09:34] <shwag> how do I contact a editor with a question ?
[09:36] <mdke> shwag: if you can find their email address, then email them
[09:36] <shwag> that part is rather obvious.
[09:37] <shwag> where is their email though ?
[09:37] <mdke> in theory, you click on their name and get it from their homepage. None of those editors have homepages though, so you could try searching https://launchpad.net/people
[09:43] <nixternal> hiya mdke, fancy seeing you here :)
[09:44] <mdke> I leave the country for 5 days and already I get the sneaky comments eh
[09:44] <nixternal> hehe
[09:45] <nixternal> vacation?
[09:46] <mdke> sort of
[09:46] <mdke> I went to Italy to do some wedding organising
[09:46] <mdke> I wasn't working anyway
[09:46] <nixternal> cool
[09:47] <nixternal> how far away is wedding time?
[09:47] <mdke> couple of months
[09:47] <nixternal> wow, getting close
[09:47] <nixternal> just to be clear, that would be your wedding correct?
[09:47] <mdke> yes :)
[09:48] <nixternal> OK, I kind of figured that, just wanted to make sure first
[09:48] <nixternal> are the nerves kicking in at all yet?
[09:48] <Burgwork> mdke: you getting married?
[09:48] <nixternal> 14:47:57 [      mdke]  yes :)
[09:48] <nixternal> hahahha
[09:48] <Burgwork> by nice if I could scrape up the funds
[09:49] <nixternal> haha, have an Ubuntu DocTeam section ;)
[09:49] <nixternal> it has been more than 10 years since I was last in Italy. I would love to go again for sure
[09:50] <nixternal> to bad I am 1) broke, 2) in school, and 3) broke ;)
[10:23] <mdke> nixternal: nope, no nerves
[10:27] <mdke> maybe later
[10:27] <mdke> biggest problem with weddings is the guests :)
[10:31] <nixternal> very true
