| michaelramm | QUESTION: Does working on your team wiki (AlabamaTeam US) count as the wiki experience that the doc team is looking for? | 14:27 |
| jjesse | michaelramm: i would vote that it does | 14:28 |
| michaelramm | cool, I would like to start with something like proofreading, but move up to WikiTeam eventually | 14:29 |

| konputer | Greetings | 17:55 |
| konputer | I've written some of the meat of a tutorial on how to move from ms exchange to a free mailserver using Maildirs and it happened to be under ubuntu. Do you think that this should be under ubuntu's docs or standalone faq/tutorial? | 17:57 |
| jjesse | konputer: on the help.ubuntu.com/community wiki would be a great place to start | 17:59 |
| jjesse | konputer: let me kow when you get it done, would love to read it :P | 17:59 |
| konputer | Well I'm as of yet not sure where to start | 17:59 |
| konputer | I have much of the process written down | 17:59 |
| konputer | but I'm not sure as to whether to write it as qmaiL-specific or just for any mail server that uses maildirs and can authenticate against pam | 18:00 |
| konputer | the key points that I haven't seen covered online anywhere are how to synch up the exchange tree with users' Maildirs | 18:00 |
| konputer | and how to get the linux mail server to authenticate against windows domain. | 18:01 |
| jjesse | who was the last person that worked on the serverguide? | 20:17 |
| jjesse | ok in a talk here, do you have to have differnt access to post on help.ubuntu.com/community? | 20:27 |
| sommer | jjesse: I've been submitting patches and from what I can tell an LP account gets you access. | 20:28 |
| jjesse | nixternal or mdke you there? | 20:28 |
| nixternal | jjesse: yo yo | 21:08 |
| jjesse | nixternal: is there a difference in acces between posting soemting to h.u.com/communit instead of w.u.c | 21:09 |
| nixternal | jjesse: I don't believe there is, I know with h.u.com though, not everyone can delete a page | 21:11 |
| ardchoille | I'd like to join the documentation team but I use Kubuntu. Will that be a problem? | 21:34 |
| nixternal | ardchoille: HECK NO! | 21:44 |
| nixternal | hehe | 21:44 |
| nixternal | you are just the poor sould I need | 21:44 |
| nixternal | I mean, great contributor I need :) | 21:44 |
| nixternal | to bad I write Kubuntu documentation and can't spell worth a damn | 21:44 |
| nixternal | s/sould/soul | 21:45 |
| ardchoille | hehe | 21:45 |
| ardchoille | Well, I'll introduce myself. | 21:45 |
| ardchoille | My name is Ian MacGregor, but I go by my online nick: ardchoille | 21:45 |
| ardchoille | I worked for a time for Mandrake Linux as their chief editor for their newsletter, and I also edited their website. | 21:46 |
| ardchoille | I took a lot of journalism in college and I like to write. | 21:46 |
| nixternal | well well well, you sound like the Mandrake version of me :) | 21:46 |
| nixternal | how are your docbook skills? | 21:47 |
| ardchoille | I joined the ubuntu-docs list so I should be hearing something from that soon. | 21:47 |
| ardchoille | I know nothing about Docbook XML but an really wanting to learn. | 21:47 |
| ardchoille | Is there an IDE for Docbook? | 21:47 |
| nixternal | oh man | 21:47 |
| nixternal | no IDE for it | 21:47 |
| nixternal | just Kate | 21:47 |
| ardchoille | I love Kate | 21:48 |
| nixternal | actually, as long as you can read and write english, you are da man! | 21:48 |
| ardchoille | :) | 21:48 |
| nixternal | if you can do html, then docbook/xml will come easy | 21:48 |
| ardchoille | I'm Scottish, but don't hold that against me :) | 21:48 |
| nixternal | hey, our leader of Kubuntu is Scottish, and we haven't held it against him yet | 21:48 |
| ardchoille | heh, I still write my webpages in html instead of using an IDE | 21:48 |
| nixternal | brb | 21:49 |
| nixternal | alrighty, back | 21:51 |

| ardchoille | The docs team hasn't had a meeting since July? | 21:59 |
| nixternal | probably not....we are a rather busy group and the people who contribute usually know what is going on ahead of time...most of us have been doing this since Ubuntu started | 21:59 |
| ardchoille | ok | 21:59 |
| nixternal | the mailing list is usually where a lot of our work with people who aren't so versed usually takes place | 22:00 |
| nixternal | we try to have a meeting though when we are about to do something big...other than that, our goal is just to document the OS, so following development is one of the biggest things | 22:00 |
| ardchoille | Ah, ok | 22:01 |
| mdke | welcome aboard ardchoille | 22:10 |
| ardchoille | mdke: Thank you | 22:11 |
| * mdke goes through and merges / deletes a few team wiki pages | 22:43 | |
| mdke | we have too much stuff around, best to keep things as simple as poss | 22:44 |
| ardchoille | Can I createmy own team wiki page? Or must I be an official team member first? | 22:46 |
| mdke | members of the team don't have wiki pages. You can create a personal page, sure - any user of the wiki should | 22:46 |
| ardchoille | ok | 22:47 |
| mdke | i mean, members of the team have wiki pages, but it's nothing to do with being a member of the team :) | 22:47 |
| mdke | clear as mud eh | 22:47 |
| ardchoille | hehe | 22:47 |
| nixternal | wasabi mr. matt! | 22:48 |
| mdke | hello | 22:48 |
| mdke | hmm, help.u.c still hasn't been updated | 22:49 |
| nixternal | ya, anything *.com has been a little slow around here | 22:50 |
| mdke | I mean, the 7.10 help hasn't been uploaded | 22:51 |
| nixternal | I thought you had access to that | 22:51 |
| mdke | no, you don't get access to some servers unless you are a canonical employee | 22:52 |
| nixternal | sue um! | 22:53 |
| nixternal | ;) | 22:53 |
| mdke | I have enough suing to do | 22:53 |
| mdke | it's nice to take a break from suing when I get home | 22:54 |
| nixternal | hhahaa | 22:54 |
| somerville32 | mdke: You sue people for a living? lol | 23:02 |
