[03:13] hello! [03:14] guys I want to write some documentation & need help, if anybody can [03:15] hi nixternal good you are around [03:15] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs [03:15] this 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. [03:16] yup, that would bdmurray's baby there. when it has to do with bug reporting he is DA MAN! [03:16] that looks like it would be a good addition truthfully [03:16] nixternal: it would be great if he was around, unfortunately he is not, so I just wanna know for e.g. what the correct title & stuff [03:16] what tool are you referring to? [03:16] reportbug [03:17] & the newer reportbug-ng [03:17] it's the tool used by debian to do stuff [03:17] to report bugs [03:17] hrmm, I thought there was a reportbug doc somewhere..but I might be thinking of Debian [03:18] I don't use reportbug anymore, I have a couple of Debian templates now in KMail that I use, much quicker [03:18] nixternal: there is no doc. atleast in the community space with the name reportbug [03:18] also, the reportbug in Ubuntu sends to Ubuntu and not Debian I believe [03:18] with the title reportbug [03:19] nixternal: the one in gutsy sends to debian using ubuntu as SMTP server, maybe drop a copy there. [03:19] meaning a copy would go upstream and one would go to ubuntu, so I believe [03:20] shirish: I would create a reportbug page, and then add a link to the "ReportingBugs" page maybe [03:20] ahh, the one in Feisty sent it to Ubuntu I believe [03:21] nixternal: 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 documentation [03:21] perhaps I put the question on ubuntu-devel & they can have some correct answers. [03:21] there or ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com [03:22] definitely 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 pages [03:24] nixternal: I could join ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com but don't think I can give much help there besides this one thing [03:25] shirish: 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 list [03:25] ah, that would be nice [03:25] then again, everyone on -motu is also on -devel-discuss as well [03:25] -bugsquad is another list as well :) [03:28] that's true, I just signed up for bugsquad today so that should also be not an issue [03:29] signed up as in the mailing list [03:29] :) === Gwaihir [n=Gwaihir@ubuntu/member/gwaihir] has joined #ubuntu-doc === silwol [n=silwol@teacheradsl241.eduhi.at] has joined #ubuntu-doc [04:15] nixternal: I have started on the doc, atleast till I know, the rest can follow later === guglielf [n=guglielf@unaffiliated/guglielf] has joined #ubuntu-doc === shirish [n=shirish@59.95.35.245] has left #ubuntu-doc [] === glatzor [n=sebi@p54965999.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc === jjesse [n=jjesse@ppp-70-226-90-224.dsl.klmzmi.ameritech.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc === bluekuja_ [n=andrea@host206-168-dynamic.56-82-r.retail.telecomitalia.it] has joined #ubuntu-doc === bodhi_zazen [n=bodhizaz@stpete.helmednet.org] has joined #ubuntu-doc === jjesse [n=jjesse@64.186.55.234] has joined #ubuntu-doc === ssam [n=ssam@87.127.117.246] has joined #ubuntu-doc [08:09] i'd like to clean up the powerpc information on the wiki. what is the best way to organise it? should i have a PowerPC page that links to things like PowerPC/FAQ PowerPC/Downloads PowerPC/Installation etc? === Burgundavia [n=corey@ubuntu/member/burgundavia] has joined #ubuntu-doc === shirish [n=shirish@59.95.35.245] has joined #ubuntu-doc [09:29] nixternal: you up m8? === glatzor [n=sebi@p57AEFBD9.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc === nothlit [n=nothlit@fluxbuntu/developer/nothlit] has joined #ubuntu-doc === shirish [n=shirish@59.95.35.245] has left #ubuntu-doc [] === jjesse [n=jjesse@ppp-70-226-90-224.dsl.klmzmi.ameritech.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc === GoRedhat [n=GoRedhat@240-248.1-85.cust.bluewin.ch] has joined #ubuntu-doc [10:35] hi [11:15] hi === guglielf [n=guglielf@unaffiliated/guglielf] has joined #ubuntu-doc
