jjesseshirish: sorry you couldn't find any04:52

Burgundaviathis has existed since hoary days07:42
Burgundaviaearlier, really07:43
robertjRecap: Some wiki pages are getting very cluttered with out-dated information that will be useful to some people, particularly LTS users07:43
Burgundaviaare there specific pages you mean?07:43
robertjhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Server for instance07:44
Burgundaviain general if the differences are slight, seperate sections the same page are ok07:44
Burgundaviaif changes are large, make a subpage07:44
Burgundaviabasically, we need better methods of communication around the help wiki07:45
robertjBurgundavia: I was thinking perhaps a MoinMoin plugin to redirect based on browser version might be helpful07:46
Burgundaviathat would require seperate pages for everything07:47
robertjBurgundavia: Yes, or some worse kind of markup07:47
Burgundaviahmm07:47
BurgundaviaI haven't seen anything that requires such a technical measure07:48
BurgundaviaI would rather work on the communication side07:48
robertjBurgundavia: suggestions?07:51
Burgundaviahelp communicate with existing editors on the help wiki on the existing standards07:52
Burgundaviafix up those standards07:52
robertjare there any written standards?07:52
Burgundaviahttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide07:54
Burgundaviathose need work07:54
Burgundaviaplease add/change/disuss as you need07:54
robertjBurgundavia: btw, I just installed moin locally to poke at a few things to see what might be possible and noticed the GUI editor is actually pretty nice, is that new or is it disabled on w.u.o?07:57
BurgundaviaI think we need a newer version of moin07:57
Burgundaviathere is an issue with that, something to do with launchpad auth07:57

ryanakcanixternal: since you seemed to be subscribed to it, mind looking at the changes (17 to 18) I made on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwarePackagingFormats ? Good, bad, what do I change, etc10:39
Burgundaviaryanakca: good except for the debian/ubuntu change10:40
Burgundaviaderivative is a very explicit word that implies understanding about how distros derive off each other10:40
