mdkehi popey08:52
mdkepopey: i noticed i'm still an admin of the lp screencasts team... i should remove myself since I'm not contributing, do you want to add someone else?09:02
CIA-18Ubuntu Documentation: mdke * r4325 debian/changelog: Daniel's changes09:04
popeyyes good idea09:14
popey(adding someone else)09:14
popeyhowever I don't mind you staying as admin, it's not a problem09:14
mdkeit's not really fair09:15
mdkeI'll stay a member because I'm still interested in the team :)09:15
popey:)09:16
mdkepopey: how's it going? I've seen several new screencasts, are you doing them all?09:17
popeyno, myself and Andrew Gee have split them roughly 50/5009:17
popeyI put up a list that needed making, and he picked the ones he wanted to do09:17
popeythere should be 30 new ones by the end of the month09:18
mdkethat's awesome. Are they feisty based?09:18
popeymostly gutsy09:18
popeysome feisty specific09:18
mdkerocking09:18
mdkeok if you have any links we can include in the documentation for gutsy, tell us asap (string freeze around the corner)09:18
popeyi managed to get UDS sponsorship from Canonical as a result, which is nice for raising the profile09:18
mdkebut we can break a freeze to add screencast urls09:19
popeywhen is string freeze?09:19
mdke13th or something (argh)09:19
mdkeyeah09:19
popeywe have had someone join the team and transcribe the screencasts!09:19
popeyso we now have subtitles in English which can be (and need to be) translated09:19
mdkegreat news09:19
popeyand have had offers to translate to French and Spanish09:20
mdkeI'll poke the italian team about that09:20
popeythat would be very helpful09:20
mdkewhat's the url?09:20
popeyI'll send a mail to the loco contacts list later - are you on that list?09:20
popeyif so then you can forward to the -it team?09:20
mdkesure, I'm the -it contact09:20
popeyok, then look out for that mail :)09:21
mdkegood09:21
mdkeyou might want to try ubuntu-translators too, that's the proper list for translators09:21
popeyooo, good call09:21
mdkeall translation teams should be on it09:21
mdkebah, I should get moving, another busy day ahead09:22
=== mdke curses busy days
popeyttfn, have a good one09:22

sommermorning all03:20
sommerwhen documenting commands should they be always prefixed by sudo?03:20
sommerthat is if they need to have root privs.03:21
sommerI'm working on an addition to the Postfix guide and was wondering about all the postconf -e commands that don't have sudo.03:23
nixternalsommer: if they need root privs, then yes, use sudo, as long as the command is a command line command, if it is a gui then use the gksu/gksudo, whatever it is03:25
sommernixternal: thanks I assume they mean command line.03:26
=== froud_ [n=sean@dsl-242-191-75.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #ubuntu-doc
sommeris there a standard way for documenting paths that vary?04:04
sommerspecifically /home/$user/..04:04
sommerI'm leaning toward /home/<emphasis role="italic">username</emphasis>/04:05
=== kylewilliams [n=kinus@wllkyl004-3.stu.uct.ac.za] has joined #ubuntu-doc
kylewilliamshey nixternal, when's the string freeze for kubuntu gutsy taking place exactly?04:50
nixternal12th or the 13th04:51
kylewilliamsah ok, so there's still a couple of days04:51
sommeranyone know if some one is working on creating-a-self-signed-certificate?04:52
sommerthere's a xref in generic/server/C/mail.xml and it won't validate I assume because the link doesn't exist.04:53
sommerwait I think I found it in the web-servers.xml file04:56
seisenSo when does the documentation start for Hardy Heron?05:03
nixternalafter we do our freeze, and we branch the current trunk into a new trunk, and rename the previous to gutsy05:04
=== shriphani [n=shriphan@219.91.188.167] has joined #ubuntu-doc
nixternalalthough, we typically wait a couple of months so we can see how much different the documentation is going to be05:05
nixternaltypically the documentation doesn't change much, so it is safe to begin documenting right from the get go05:05
shriphanihello, I am looking forward to contributing, where do I find the current working project.05:05
shriphanioh dear.... the purojects being wokred on ^05:05
seisenI was wondering because I though about helping with the documentation this time around05:06
nixternalshriphani: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Repository05:07
nixternalseisen: just remember, no matter the size of the contrib, it is a huge help to us05:07
seisenI know, I figure I can try to help with some of the misc things that are simple to do so I can learn how to use docbook  and then with more experience move on to bigger things05:09
nixternalrock on...pretty much how everyone got their start05:10
nixternalOK, time for school...bbiab05:10
seisensee ya05:10
kylewilliamseish...time for me to write a statistics test :/05:12
kylewilliamswill probably send you something by sunday nixternal05:13
kylewilliamsoh, and in terms of screenshots...if most things are command line based ,such as using apt-get ,is there any need for screenshots05:13
kylewilliams?05:13
kylewilliamsk, i gotta go...nixternal, just lemme know in an email or something when you see this05:15
