| Old_Soldier | hello :) this is a really quiet channel! | 01:59 |
|---|---|---|
| Old_Soldier | I'm interested in helping the documentation team so i thought i would drop by and introduce myself | 01:59 |
| Atamira | normally you introduce yourself via the mailing list | 02:00 |
| Atamira | but its all good | 02:00 |
| Old_Soldier | I did last night :) at least unless i sent it to the wrong address I think I did lol | 02:02 |
| Old_Soldier | ubuntu-doc@lists.ubuntu.com ? | 02:02 |
| Alan_M | hey guys, thinking of joining this team, i signed up for the mentorship :) | 02:09 |
| Old_Soldier | new blood coming in from the beginner and unanswered posts teams for you folks | 02:10 |
| Alan_M | im not an unanswered Old_Soldier :P | 02:11 |
| Old_Soldier | lol easily fixed :) just post before anyone answers | 02:12 |
| Alan_M | lol | 02:12 |
| Alan_M | trying to do that is harder than it sounds | 02:13 |
| nickellery | Hi all, have a look here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam to see where you would like to work on the Documentation | 02:24 |
| nickellery | Technical Reviewing is often the place where beginners start out: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/TechReview | 02:24 |
| Old_Soldier | that is where i had planned on starting out nickellery it sounded like the best way to ease into the team | 02:26 |
| nickellery | You can get started anytime; Get a hold of the repository using these instructions https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Repository | 02:27 |
| nickellery | if you have any questions, feel free to ask | 02:27 |
| Alan_M | tech review sounds great to me too. | 02:27 |
| nickellery | It would also be good to subscribe to the mailing list: http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-doc | 02:28 |
| nickellery | Ping Old_Soldier Alan_M | 02:29 |
| Alan_M | im here :) | 02:29 |
| Alan_M | im doing what you were telling us | 02:29 |
| Old_Soldier | ive already subbed to the mailing list | 02:30 |
| nickellery | alright | 02:30 |
| nickellery | getting used to the repository and bzr takes time | 02:30 |
| Alan_M | and i just did, i just gotta click my linkage in email | 02:30 |
| nickellery | so feel free to ask any questions | 02:30 |
| Alan_M | sure | 02:31 |
| Old_Soldier | i'm assuming i need to install bzr and do the work inside my intrepid vm? | 02:31 |
| nickellery | you will need to get a hold of the repository via Ubuntu, but the pages are all in .xml text files, so they can be imported to any operating system | 02:32 |
| nickellery | and if you just proofreading for mistakes, you generally dont need to using the latest development release | 02:33 |
| nickellery | the current documentation most likely doesn't have any technical errors. It will generally be grammatical, spelling, etc.. errors | 02:33 |
| Alan_M | yeah, thats what im doing, grammar and stuff nickellery | 02:34 |
| Old_Soldier | ah thats good to know , my intrepid isn't very usuable yet im happy enough starting on the stable stuff | 02:34 |
| Alan_M | creating things i suck at, editing work, im good with (if you could believe that) | 02:35 |
| nickellery | Alright guys, If you'll excuse me, I must be off. If you have any future questions, please direct them to the mailing list, or here on the IRC | 02:36 |
| nickellery | Good luck! | 02:36 |
| Alan_M | sure thing nickellery :D | 02:37 |
| Alan_M | thank you! | 02:37 |
| Old_Soldier | thanks! have a good one :) | 02:38 |
| owh | I'm needing to implement a google search for a team mailing list on the team wiki page, but I'm unsure how best to achieve that in such a way that I get an input box and a search button, rather than a link to a google page. | 05:17 |
| Old_Soldier | i'm totally confused :/ is there a document somewhere that correlates a xml files in the repos to its position in the yelp browser? | 05:33 |
| nickellery | Old_Soldier, they are generally under the same name | 06:15 |
| nickellery | for example, Music, Videos and Photos, is in the musicvideosphotos folder in the repo | 06:16 |
| Old_Soldier | thanks nickellery I plodded along and figured out the problem, I was in the wrong branch i found the tech review status page | 06:16 |
| Old_Soldier | and downloaded the proper branch. doh! | 06:16 |
| nickellery | Old_Soldier, yes, I was about to mention that that page had both the codenames and the public ones | 06:17 |
| Flannel | Anyone else having problems editing/creating wiki pages? on both h.u.c/community and w.u.c? | 09:45 |
| Old_Soldier | I have a quick question I just finished my first technical review and the wiki says to send the diff to the mailing list. Is this still the proper thing to do? | 10:12 |
| l3on | mdke: are u there? | 14:20 |
