[01:59] <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
[02:00] <Atamira> normally you introduce yourself via the mailing list
[02:00] <Atamira> but its all good
[02:02] <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 ?
[02:09] <Alan_M> hey guys, thinking of joining this team, i signed up for the mentorship :)
[02:10] <Old_Soldier> new blood coming in from the beginner and unanswered posts teams for you folks
[02:11] <Alan_M> im not an unanswered Old_Soldier  :P
[02:12] <Old_Soldier> lol easily fixed :) just post before anyone answers
[02:12] <Alan_M> lol
[02:13] <Alan_M> trying to do that is harder than it sounds
[02:24] <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
[02:26] <Old_Soldier> that is where i had planned on starting out nickellery  it sounded like the best way to ease into the team
[02:27] <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.
[02:28] <nickellery> It would also be good to subscribe to the mailing list:  http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-doc
[02:29] <nickellery> Ping Old_Soldier Alan_M
[02:29] <Alan_M> im here :)
[02:29] <Alan_M> im doing what you were telling us
[02:30] <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
[02:31] <Alan_M> sure
[02:31] <Old_Soldier> i'm assuming i need to install bzr and do the work inside my intrepid vm?
[02:32] <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
[02:33] <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
[02:34] <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
[02:35] <Alan_M> creating things i suck at, editing work, im good with (if you could believe that)
[02:36] <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!
[02:37] <Alan_M> sure thing nickellery :D
[02:37] <Alan_M> thank you!
[02:38] <Old_Soldier> thanks! have a good one :)
[05:17] <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.
[05:33] <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?
[06:15] <nickellery> Old_Soldier, they are generally under the same name
[06:16] <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!
[06:17] <nickellery> Old_Soldier, yes, I was about to mention that that page had both the codenames and the public ones
[09:45] <Flannel> Anyone else having problems editing/creating wiki pages?  on both h.u.c/community and w.u.c?
[10:12] <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?
[14:20] <l3on> mdke: are u there?
