=== mpt is impressed that the Ubuntu 7.04 release announcement didn't use the word "feisty" at all
Burgundaviapart of the plan07:55
tonyyarussoDid we get our non-tech-press release that covers from the ground up what this all is?07:59

Madpilothmm?08:06
tonyyarussoerm, I've forgotten how to put links in the wiki08:09
tonyyarussoLike, to make "Ubuntu" link to http://www.ubuntu.com/, I thought it was [Ubuntu http://www.ubuntu.com/] 08:09
tonyyarussoFor things that are either external, non-camelcase, or otherwise non-standard08:10
Madpilotisn't it? There's a HelpOnFormating link at the top of every Edit screen08:10
tonyyarussoHOF doesn't cover it08:12
MadpilotHelpOnLinks?08:13
tonyyarussoWait, found it08:13
tonyyarussoURL first, then word08:13
=== tonyyarusso checked his user page
poningruso I wanted to bounce an idea in here08:21
poningruthere isnt really a server 'book' for ubuntu08:21
poningruif I were to take the debian reference manual and make it ubuntufied08:22
tonyyarussoVery true08:22
poningruhow useful would that be?08:22
tonyyarussoI have the server manual (from Lulu), but wish there was a verbose version.08:22
poningruoh the official one?08:23
tonyyarussoyeah08:24
poningruthe only trouble is ubuntu dev moves waay too fast for that08:24
poningrui.e upstart etc08:24
tonyyarussoalso true08:24
poningruso should I start work on that?08:27
poningruobviously base stuff has been done08:27
tonyyarussoGive it a shot and see what happens anyway08:27
MadpilotI don't know if the server book has been updated since Dapper, either.08:28
poningrui.e explanation of distribution and how releases happen08:28
Madpilotponingru, just mind the license on whatever source material you use - doc licenses are messy things.08:28
poningruyeah08:28
poningruthis seems to be...08:29

poningruwhy would they use GPL?08:29
poningrudebian legal killed my inner child :(08:30
Madpilotdebian legal does that, from what I've seen ;)08:41
MadpilotHmm, 3 of SABDFL's 5 nominees for CC are from DocTeam... revenge of the writers?08:59

mdkeso, what are we going to do about the website? Do we want to try and do a 7.04 tab like we did with the other releases, or can we get around the hideous task of doing that in some other way?09:01
Burgundaviafunny, that jerome, myself and mdke were the doc team for quite some time09:01
poningrurofl09:02
Burgundaviawell, we can drop the 5.10 tab09:02
mdketrue09:14
mdkebut actually making a coherent website with our topic based system is going to be really difficult09:15
mdkebecause a lot of the links break and need to be corrected, and a lot of the gnome user guide is incorporated09:15
