| sommer | this channel is usally pretty slow | 15:53 |
| jabone | haha its kind of looking like it :P | 15:54 |
| sommer | usually evenings in north america and europe are more liveley | 15:54 |
| jabone | yeah i kind of figured that | 15:56 |
| jabone | i'm in canada so its a holiday here =) | 15:56 |
| jabone | i was looking to start writing some documentation, but i think i found everything i needed on the website =) | 15:56 |
| sommer | party! | 15:56 |
| jabone | where are you at? | 16:00 |
| sommer | north carolina :) | 16:01 |
| jabone | oh nice...i have a few friends who live there... | 16:01 |
| sommer | it's pretty cool, at least where I am in Winston-Salem, heh | 16:02 |
| jabone | yeah ive heard its pretty nice | 16:03 |
| wallan | jabone: what are you going to work on? | 16:10 |
| wallan | just being nosey! i've only just started myself | 16:11 |
| jabone | hrmm not too sure yet | 16:17 |
| jabone | i'll volunteer...see what needs to be done most and do it! | 16:18 |
| jabone | i'm here half to learn some new things and to help out =) | 16:18 |
| wallan | fair enough! | 16:20 |
| wallan | have you looked here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiToDo | 16:21 |
| jabone | no i havent | 16:24 |
| jabone | but now that i've checked it out | 16:24 |
| jabone | looks like a great place to start! | 16:24 |
| wallan | yeah, there's a few things on there | 16:25 |
| charlie-tca | Has anyone figured out how to make the floating menu appear correctly using the modern theme in the help wiki after it was upgraded to Moin 1.6? | 20:51 |
| charlie-tca | The TableOfContents is what I meant to say. It appears a little wrong at the present time. | 20:53 |
| wallan | i have a question! | 21:51 |
| wallan | does anyone have an opinion on the use of the word 'application', as opposed to 'software' or 'program'? | 21:52 |
| wallan | 'software' and 'application' seem to get used fairly interchangeably on the wiki, yet their meanings are a bit different | 21:52 |
| jabone | i look at an application as being a piece of software that perform a certain task... | 22:27 |
| jabone | software can be used for anything that runs in addition to the os | 22:27 |
| wallan | that's kind of what i thought - 'software' is a broader term | 22:29 |
| wallan | 'applications' is used on the gnome main menu, of course, so users may recognise it from there | 22:30 |
| wallan | i just started a RecommendedApplications page on the wiki | 22:30 |
| jabone | good idea | 22:30 |
| wallan | i had been wondering whether to call it RecommendedSoftware | 22:31 |
| jabone | a firewall would be a good suggestion for most users :) | 22:31 |
| jabone | i would go with software | 22:31 |
| jabone | but thats my own personal opinion | 22:31 |
| wallan | gah! too late! | 22:31 |
| wallan | :) | 22:31 |
| jabone | haha :) | 22:31 |
| wallan | here's the new page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecommendedApplications | 22:32 |
| wallan | it's still a little basic, but it's a start | 22:32 |
| jabone | opera would be good under the internet section | 22:42 |
| jabone | its my fave browser | 22:42 |
| jabone | and firestarter | 22:42 |
| wallan | add away! :) | 22:42 |
| wallan | i'm fairly sure that i've seen some threads in the forums devoted to recommendations. it would be good to get some of that content onto the page | 22:43 |
| wallan | can someone tell me how to get rid of the extra 'contents' text in the contents menu of this page?: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecommendedApplications | 23:17 |
