| AndrewTheArt | Hey guys, I'd love to join the documentation team - how do I start? | 02:16 |
| kgoetz | AndrewTheArt: hang around, its quit posable no ones around atm | 02:18 |
| AndrewTheArt | OK, I'll hang here | 02:18 |
| AndrewTheArt | thanks | 02:19 |
| kgoetz | np. welcome in :) | 02:19 |
| AndrewTheArt | brb actually | 02:22 |
| AndrewTheArt | nvm | 02:22 |
| sommer | AndrewTheArt: the best place to start with the Doc Team wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam | 02:25 |
| sommer | hey kgoetz | 02:25 |
| AndrewTheArt | which in turn tells me to go here | 02:26 |
| AndrewTheArt | I probably misread it | 02:26 |
| sommer | heh, there's also the doc mailing list | 02:26 |
| kgoetz | sommer: hey mate | 02:27 |
| kgoetz | this channel varies quite a lot in livelyness depending on the time of day | 02:27 |
| sommer | join the mentoring program, also the Getting Started Page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/GettingStarted | 02:27 |
| sommer | heh, ya my experience is that's it's usually pretty quite | 02:28 |
| ubotu | New bug: #213711 in ubuntu-doc "Typo in 8.04 Beta release notes" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/213711 | 02:50 |

| sommer | hey all, has there been any thought of the doc team doing a session at open week? | 18:00 |
| LaserJock | sommer: we did one I remember for the first open week, not sure about last time | 18:34 |
| sommer | ah, I don't remember seeing one last time. | 18:43 |
| sommer | just wondering since it seems there a lot of new mentees lately :-) | 18:43 |
| LaserJock | yeah, but we have to have somebody to run it | 18:43 |
| LaserJock | and really if we have mentees maybe we don't need open week so much? | 18:44 |
| sommer | heh, that has some logic to it | 18:44 |
| LaserJock | I doubt anybody in the doc team would object to a session, but I'm not sure if we really need it as bad as other teams | 18:47 |
| awen_ | anyone know if it is too late for adding a new translational string? ... just came across a string that wasn't marked for translation | 22:56 |
| crimsun | mdke: ^ | 22:57 |
| crimsun | awen_: I don't think it's too late, since you're referring to a KDE app, yes? | 22:58 |
| awen_ | crimsun: kde-app, yes. guidance-power-manager to be exact | 22:59 |
| crimsun | awen_: I'd hang around for either mdke or LaserJock. (See also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationStringFreeze and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NonLanguagePackTranslationDeadline) | 23:00 |
| LaserJock | I'm not really sure either | 23:01 |
| crimsun | I don't think NonLanguagePackTranslationDeadline is applicable here, since we're not speaking of a menu entry | 23:01 |
| LaserJock | what's the specific thing we're talking about? | 23:02 |
| crimsun | 17:52 awen_ > ScottK: any reason why we are translating (i18n) "charging" but not "discharging" in g-p-m ... to late to fix that? | 23:02 |
| awen_ | crimsun: but it wouldn't be a regression ... if it isn't translated it will appear in english (as in the code) right? | 23:02 |
| awen_ | LaserJock: ^^ | 23:02 |
| LaserJock | so that's in the g-p-m package right? | 23:02 |
| crimsun | awen_: correct | 23:03 |
| crimsun | LaserJock: correct | 23:03 |
| LaserJock | seems like that would be a low-risk bug fix | 23:03 |
| LaserJock | I wouldn't think there would be a freeze on that right now | 23:05 |
| LaserJock | you aren't changing the documentation | 23:05 |
| awen_ | i don't really know how the black magic works ... from using the i18n-function in python to the translation file | 23:05 |
| LaserJock | just making it available for translation | 23:05 |
| awen_ | LaserJock: not in any way ... just adding i18n around a string | 23:05 |
| crimsun | (I guess technically it's the kde-guidance source) | 23:05 |
| awen_ | crimsun: yeah | 23:05 |
| LaserJock | I certainly don't see anything wrong with fixing that | 23:06 |
| LaserJock | and you might want to email the ubuntu-translators list once the .pot has been imported to help get that string as well translated as possible | 23:07 |
| awen_ | LaserJock: okay... i'll go ahead then | 23:07 |
| LaserJock | I think the relavent freeze here is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LanguagePackTranslationDeadline | 23:07 |
| LaserJock | crimsun: would you agree? | 23:07 |
| LaserJock | which is the 17th | 23:08 |
| crimsun | LaserJock: that's what I would think | 23:08 |
| awen_ | okay ... so no the translation teem should be aware of last minute changes like this, eg. no need to email them? | 23:09 |
| LaserJock | I would email them just to make sure | 23:10 |
| LaserJock | doesn't hurt to give them a "heads up" | 23:10 |
| awen_ | LaserJock: okay ... ubuntu-translation@l.u.c ? | 23:10 |
| LaserJock | awen_: I think it's ubuntu-translators | 23:25 |
| LaserJock | but you can check lists.ubuntu.com to make sure | 23:25 |
| awen_ | LaserJock: you were correct ... thanks for taking your time | 23:27 |
| LaserJock | no problem, thanks for looking into the issue | 23:29 |
