[03:50] <j1mc> hi all.  would it be a good idea to upload the current xubuntu hardy branch to launchpad under the xubuntu doc team, so that we could allow xubunteros to submit their own patches w/o needing committer rights?
[03:50] <j1mc> (committer rights to the core docs, that is . . . )
[04:28] <Kr0ntab> greets folks..
[04:29] <Madpilot> mrh?
[04:29] <Kr0ntab> ?
[04:39] <Kr0ntab> added https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SinglePacketAuthorization today...
[04:39] <Kr0ntab> first doc..  w00t!
[13:07] <ubotu> New bug: #163188 in ubuntu-docs (main) "spelling and information issues " [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/163188
[15:52] <j1mc> hi all - i posted here last night about uploading the xubuntu docs to launchpad in a manner that would allow regular contributors (w/o commit access to the core docs) to still upload their changes.
[15:52] <j1mc> does that sound like a good idea?
[15:52] <j1mc> if so, .... um, how would i do it?  :)
[15:57] <nixternal> j1mc: did you get your commit rights yet?
[15:57] <j1mc> nixternal: no
[15:57] <nixternal> hrmm
[15:57] <j1mc> even if i do, though . . . does what i mentioned above sound like a good idea?
[15:57] <j1mc> i'm not sure if the extra layer of stuff is necessary, but maybe i don't see the advantages of it.
[15:58] <nixternal> j1mc: no...let those people create a branch of their own, and then you could merge their changes
[15:58] <nixternal> so they could work locally and still upload, but it wouldn't touch the main xubuntu-docs unless one of you merged it
[15:58] <j1mc> understood.
[15:59] <nixternal> unless of course, you trust the person and they are writing good code and validating it
[15:59] <j1mc> so i would just upload my own branch of xubuntu docs to my own launchpad page?  that kind of thing
[15:59] <j1mc> and then (for example) get them merged into the actual branch...
[15:59] <j1mc> (i'm at a coffee shop, and someone's bagel smells so good) hehe
[15:59] <nixternal> you can upload to the xubuntu-docs project, it would just be your own branch
[16:00] <nixternal> haha
[16:00] <nixternal> mm, bagel does sound good
[16:00] <j1mc> ok.  i think it'd be better to talk about this at a chi-ubuntu meeting.
[16:00] <j1mc> or maybe i should make it out to COD tomorrow.  (maybe)
[16:00] <nixternal> I have CDs :)
[16:01] <nixternal> the real ones this time
[16:01] <j1mc> haha.  i saw.
[16:01] <j1mc> cool.
[16:01] <j1mc> ok.  i'm going to submit another patch to the list in a few minutes.  need to validate it.
[16:02] <j1mc> paxola.
[16:02] <nixternal> hehe
[23:21] <j1mc> is anyone on here a moderator for the ubuntu-doc mailing list?  if so, i submitted a patch that was a little too big for the ML message size limits.  (~50kb)  it will need to be approved by a mod to go through.
[23:30] <nixternal> j1mc: got it
[23:30] <j1mc> thanks.
