[02:14] <AndrewTheArt> Hey guys, I'd love to join the documentation team - how do I start?
[02:16] <AndrewTheArt> Hey guys, I'd love to join the documentation team - how do I start?
[02:18] <kgoetz> AndrewTheArt: hang around, its quit posable no ones around atm
[02:18] <AndrewTheArt> OK, I'll hang here
[02:19] <AndrewTheArt> thanks
[02:19] <kgoetz> np. welcome in :)
[02:22] <AndrewTheArt> brb actually
[02:22] <AndrewTheArt> nvm
[02:25] <sommer> AndrewTheArt: the best place to start with the Doc Team wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam
[02:25] <sommer> hey kgoetz
[02:26] <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
[02:27] <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
[02:28] <sommer> heh, ya my experience is that's it's usually pretty quite

[18:00] <sommer> hey all, has there been any thought of the doc team doing a session at open week?
[18:34] <LaserJock> sommer: we did one I remember for the first open week, not sure about last time
[18:43] <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
[18:44] <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
[18:47] <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
[22:56] <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
[22:57] <crimsun> mdke: ^
[22:58] <crimsun> awen_: I don't think it's too late, since you're referring to a KDE app, yes?
[22:59] <awen_> crimsun: kde-app, yes. guidance-power-manager to be exact
[23:00] <crimsun> awen_: I'd hang around for either mdke or LaserJock.  (See also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationStringFreeze and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NonLanguagePackTranslationDeadline)
[23:01] <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
[23:02] <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?
[23:03] <crimsun> awen_: correct
[23:03] <crimsun> LaserJock: correct
[23:03] <LaserJock> seems like that would be a low-risk bug fix
[23:05] <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
[23:06] <LaserJock> I certainly don't see anything wrong with fixing that
[23:07] <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?
[23:08] <LaserJock> which is the 17th
[23:08] <crimsun> LaserJock: that's what I would think
[23:09] <awen_> okay ... so no the translation teem should be aware of last minute changes like this, eg. no need to email them?
[23:10] <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 ?
[23:25] <LaserJock> awen_: I think it's ubuntu-translators
[23:25] <LaserJock> but you can check lists.ubuntu.com to make sure
[23:27] <awen_> LaserJock: you were correct ... thanks for taking your time
[23:29] <LaserJock> no problem, thanks for looking into the issue
