shirishhi all, anybody around?03:05
nixternalhello!03:13
shirishguys I want to write some documentation & need help, if anybody can03:14
shirishhi nixternal good you are around03:15
shirishhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs03:15
shirishthis is the document I'm in the process of editing, I wanna add the bit about reporting bugs upstream & one of the tools for it.03:15
nixternalyup, that would bdmurray's baby there. when it has to do with bug reporting he is DA MAN!03:16
nixternalthat looks like it would be a good addition truthfully03:16
shirishnixternal: it would be great if he was around, unfortunately he is not, so I just wanna know for e.g. what the correct title & stuff03:16
nixternalwhat tool are you referring to?03:16
shirishreportbug03:16
shirish& the newer reportbug-ng03:17
shirishit's the tool used by debian to do stuff03:17
shirishto report bugs03:17
nixternalhrmm, I thought there was a reportbug doc somewhere..but I might be thinking of Debian03:17
nixternalI don't use reportbug anymore, I have a couple of Debian templates now in KMail that I use, much quicker03:18
shirishnixternal: there is no doc. atleast in the community space with the name reportbug03:18
nixternalalso, the reportbug in Ubuntu sends to Ubuntu and not Debian I believe03:18
shirishwith the title reportbug03:18
shirishnixternal: the one in gutsy sends to debian using ubuntu as SMTP server, maybe drop a copy there.03:19
shirishmeaning a copy would go upstream and one would go to ubuntu, so I believe03:19
nixternalshirish: I would create a reportbug page, and then add a link to the "ReportingBugs" page maybe03:20
nixternalahh, the one in Feisty sent it to Ubuntu I believe03:20
shirishnixternal: that would be the best way I guess, but I need to know how it really works, we wouldn't want people to have wrong documentation03:21
shirishperhaps I put the question on ubuntu-devel & they can have some correct answers.03:21
nixternalthere or ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com03:21
nixternaldefinitely would be a great doc to have...I would also look at creating a page on wiki.ubuntu.com maybe that would refresh to help.ubuntu.com...but that doesn't have to be done now...MOTU can link to it in one of their pages03:22
shirishnixternal: I could join ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com but don't think I can give much help there besides this one thing03:24
nixternalshirish: you should be able to send an email to the list, and at the bottom ask them to CC you since you aren't a member on that list03:25
shirishah, that would be nice03:25
nixternalthen again, everyone on -motu is also on -devel-discuss as well03:25
nixternal-bugsquad is another list as well :)03:25
shirishthat's true, I just signed up for bugsquad today so that should also be not an issue03:28
shirishsigned up as in the mailing list03:29
