| oldmanstan | somerville32: that was a pretty humorous help request and response above ^ | 02:54 |
| somerville32 | lol | 02:55 |
| oldmanstan | somerville32: i like the idea of a xubuntu help browser, so long as it doesn't take a crazy amount of time/effort, which i don't think it will | 02:59 |
| oldmanstan | let me know if you guys need any help on it | 02:59 |
| somerville32 | Awesome :) | 03:01 |
| posingaspopular | hey all | 04:33 |
| posingaspopular | im trying to start writing the basic commands for xubuntu hardy. so far, i have 'man' 'sudo' 'ls' 'pwd' 'cd' and 'ifconfig'/'dhclient | 04:38 |
| posingaspopular | anything else? | 04:38 |
| somerville32 | posingaspopular, We're have a basic commands section? | 04:43 |
| posingaspopular | i could have sworn.... | 04:44 |
| posingaspopular | or else i was mapping out docs in my head all day for no reason | 04:44 |
| somerville32 | As long as we aren't expecting anyone to use them :P | 04:45 |
| posingaspopular | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Documentation/HardyAssignments | 04:47 |
| posingaspopular | basic commands | 04:47 |
| somerville32 | It should be nothing more than an appendix at best. | 04:47 |
| posingaspopular | ummm.... okay.... | 04:48 |
| somerville32 | We should strive to make it so that users don't even have to touch the cli | 04:48 |
| posingaspopular | somerville32: im really bad at this docs thing by the way | 04:48 |
| somerville32 | posingaspopular, No you're not :P | 04:48 |
| oldmanstan | somerville32: the ubuntu docs have a CLI section, we just duplicated it | 04:57 |
| somerville32 | oldmanstan, Okay. Are we trying to maintain a minimum delta or is there no point to that now? | 04:57 |
| oldmanstan | yeah, imho we should try to change as little as possible, at least in areas where that's feasible | 04:58 |
| oldmanstan | i mean, obviously there are significant software packages that xubuntu doesn't ship by default that k/ubuntu do, so in those areas we should probably just forget about trying to stay parallel | 04:59 |
| somerville32 | oldmanstan, So why do we need to write our own basic commands now? | 05:00 |
| somerville32 | Can't we mirror what ubuntu has? | 05:00 |
| somerville32 | And is it a full chapter in Ubuntu? | 05:00 |
| oldmanstan | yeah, when i made that table i basically just copied the old one, but for certain things we can probably specify that the goal for a section is just to keep up with the ubuntu changes (and fix them where they don't work for us) | 05:01 |
| oldmanstan | it's a full chapter yeah, i was a bit surprised myself when i saw it, amazingly it was also had quite a few bugs, haha, you'd think a bunch of nerds could write a command line guide | 05:02 |
| somerville32 | lol | 05:05 |
| somerville32 | It wouldn't require much hacking to make it an appendix instead | 05:05 |
| posingaspopular | oldmanstan: the level 400 classes in communication for web design teach HTML and then go into DTD. | 05:05 |
