[08:11] if it isn't, I don't know what it is [08:12] it's 'night' if my clock is correct === jjesse_ is now known as jjesse [14:27] QUESTION: Does working on your team wiki (AlabamaTeam US) count as the wiki experience that the doc team is looking for? [14:28] michaelramm: i would vote that it does [14:29] cool, I would like to start with something like proofreading, but move up to WikiTeam eventually === jjesse_ is now known as jjesse === Gwaihir_ is now known as Gwaihir [17:55] Greetings [17:57] 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? [17:59] konputer: on the help.ubuntu.com/community wiki would be a great place to start [17:59] konputer: let me kow when you get it done, would love to read it :P [17:59] Well I'm as of yet not sure where to start [17:59] I have much of the process written down [18:00] 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] the key points that I haven't seen covered online anywhere are how to synch up the exchange tree with users' Maildirs [18:01] and how to get the linux mail server to authenticate against windows domain. [20:17] who was the last person that worked on the serverguide? [20:27] ok in a talk here, do you have to have differnt access to post on help.ubuntu.com/community? [20:28] jjesse: I've been submitting patches and from what I can tell an LP account gets you access. [20:28] nixternal or mdke you there? [21:08] jjesse: yo yo [21:09] nixternal: is there a difference in acces between posting soemting to h.u.com/communit instead of w.u.c [21:11] jjesse: I don't believe there is, I know with h.u.com though, not everyone can delete a page [21:34] I'd like to join the documentation team but I use Kubuntu. Will that be a problem? [21:44] ardchoille: HECK NO! [21:44] hehe [21:44] you are just the poor sould I need [21:44] I mean, great contributor I need :) [21:44] to bad I write Kubuntu documentation and can't spell worth a damn [21:45] s/sould/soul [21:45] hehe [21:45] Well, I'll introduce myself. [21:45] My name is Ian MacGregor, but I go by my online nick: ardchoille [21:46] I worked for a time for Mandrake Linux as their chief editor for their newsletter, and I also edited their website. [21:46] I took a lot of journalism in college and I like to write. [21:46] well well well, you sound like the Mandrake version of me :) [21:47] how are your docbook skills? [21:47] I joined the ubuntu-docs list so I should be hearing something from that soon. [21:47] I know nothing about Docbook XML but an really wanting to learn. [21:47] Is there an IDE for Docbook? [21:47] oh man [21:47] no IDE for it [21:47] just Kate [21:48] I love Kate [21:48] actually, as long as you can read and write english, you are da man! [21:48] :) [21:48] if you can do html, then docbook/xml will come easy [21:48] I'm Scottish, but don't hold that against me :) [21:48] hey, our leader of Kubuntu is Scottish, and we haven't held it against him yet [21:48] heh, I still write my webpages in html instead of using an IDE [21:49] brb [21:51] alrighty, back === oldmanstan2 is now known as oldmanstan [21:59] The docs team hasn't had a meeting since July? [21:59] 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] ok [22:00] the mailing list is usually where a lot of our work with people who aren't so versed usually takes place [22:00] 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 [22:01] Ah, ok [22:10] welcome aboard ardchoille [22:11] mdke: Thank you [22:43] * mdke goes through and merges / deletes a few team wiki pages [22:44] we have too much stuff around, best to keep things as simple as poss [22:46] Can I createmy own team wiki page? Or must I be an official team member first? [22:46] members of the team don't have wiki pages. You can create a personal page, sure - any user of the wiki should [22:47] ok [22:47] i mean, members of the team have wiki pages, but it's nothing to do with being a member of the team :) [22:47] clear as mud eh [22:47] hehe [22:48] wasabi mr. matt! [22:48] hello [22:49] hmm, help.u.c still hasn't been updated [22:50] ya, anything *.com has been a little slow around here [22:51] I mean, the 7.10 help hasn't been uploaded [22:51] I thought you had access to that [22:52] no, you don't get access to some servers unless you are a canonical employee [22:53] sue um! [22:53] ;) [22:53] I have enough suing to do [22:54] it's nice to take a break from suing when I get home [22:54] hhahaa [23:02] mdke: You sue people for a living? lol
