[01:32] <XiXaQ> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba <-- This page recommends that a user uses ftp for sharing files between linux computers.. It should recommend ssh instead.
[02:31] <Flannel> XiXaQ: sftp you mean, I imagine (well, scp would work too).  Go ahead and change it.
[02:34] <XiXaQ> I can't change that?
[02:37] <XiXaQ> Flannel, can I? How do I do so?
[02:37] <Flannel> XiXaQ: Do you have a launchpad ID?
[02:38] <XiXaQ> yes.
[02:38] <XiXaQ> I know how to modify pages on the wiki, but I thought the help.ubuntu.com was restricted?
[02:39] <Flannel> XiXaQ: help.ubuntu.com is, the community section isn't, no.
[02:39] <XiXaQ> oh, ok.
[02:50] <XiXaQ> Flannel, how do I make a url? I'm linking to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto, but I'd like it to say "See SSHHowto" instead of the complete url.
[02:53] <XiXaQ> well. It's not very important. Only cosmetic :)
[02:54] <Flannel> XiXaQ: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HelpOnLinking  see the bottom-ish for examples
[02:54] <XiXaQ> well. I tried using the wikiname, but that wouldn't work?
[02:55] <XiXaQ> that is, I used SSHHowto.
[10:39] <mdke> XiXaQ: you use: "See [[SSHHowto]]"
[10:40] <mdke> XiXaQ: you should definitely read the page which Flannel showed you about how to link, it's very useful
[12:28] <mdke> cody-somerville: I'd like to remove the firefox-homepage and firefox-homepage-locales alternatives. Since 8.04 firefox has no longer used them (using ubufox instead for getting the startpage address). I don't think kubuntu uses them. Does xubuntu use them at all?
[12:29] <mdke> cody-somerville: assuming xubuntu uses firefox, I think the answer must be "no" but I wanted to check
[12:39] <mdke> cody-somerville: I've posted more detail to -devel, let me know if it affects xubuntu at all
[13:56] <Syntux> shall we translate "<application>Yelp Help Browser</application>" in user-guide ? or keep it as it is
[14:49] <mdke> Syntux: yes, you can translate anything which is inside a tag, you just shouldn't translate the tag itself
[14:52] <Syntux> lovely.
[14:52] <mdke> Syntux: have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Translation for some more detailed guidance
[14:53] <Syntux> Thanks
[15:17] <mdke> Syntux: oh, one other thing - if you are translating the user-guide, try and contribute your translations upstream too, Ubuntu receives those translations along with other distributions
[15:18] <Syntux> mdke, by exporting and uploading to .po to upstream ?
[15:28] <mdke> Syntux: sure, or by just doing the translation directly with the upstream po file
[15:28] <mdke> and then uploading that to Launchpad, if necessary
[15:29] <Syntux> mdke, hmm so the nice rosseta isn't usable here :-)
[15:32] <mdke> Syntux: that's true. You can work in Rosetta and send the po file exported from that to upstream, they can merge it
[15:32] <Syntux> there should be a way to automate this, only then using Rosetta can be meaningful :-)
[15:34] <mdke> yes, I'm sure the Rosetta developers are very aware of that
[15:38] <Syntux> I'll see if I can contribute something in that arena, Thank you mdke  :-)
[15:39] <mdke> np
[18:06] <cody-somerville> mdke, we do
[20:05] <emet> hey
[20:05] <cody-somerville> Hello
[20:07] <emet> is the system documentation on launchpad?
[20:08] <emet> I want to make a OOBE branch
[20:09] <emet> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-doc
[20:09] <emet> :P
[21:06] <emet> so there is an OOBE ish thing
[21:11] <emet> okay
[21:11] <emet> it needs to be prettier
[21:22] <emet> anyone here?
[22:53] <mdke> cody-somerville: in what way is it used? firefox can't use it, I don't think
[22:53] <cody-somerville> I think it is going to the Ubuntu page now
[22:53] <cody-somerville> I need to see how it is working now
[22:56] <mdke> cody-somerville: does xubuntu use firefox?
[22:56] <cody-somerville> yes
[22:57] <mdke> cody-somerville: the same firefox as ubuntu, not a customised version?
[22:57] <cody-somerville> I believe so.
[22:57] <mdke> ok, in that case it's not using the alternatives
[22:57] <mdke> firefox gets its startpage from the ubufox package
[22:58] <mdke> so you'd need an xubufox in order to customise the homepage
[23:12] <cody-somerville> Yes
[23:13] <cody-somerville> I don't really remember being alerted to that change, fyi
[23:13] <mdke> cody-somerville: I made a similar point to asac during the last release cycle when he implemented it; but he said that he had raised it on a mailing list. I can't remember exactly the details
[23:14] <mdke> I guess it was specced out at a conference
[23:14] <mdke> anyhow, let me know if you have any issues about removing the alternatives
[23:15] <mdke> but I think as long as you are using firefox, they don't make a difference
[23:15] <mdke> I was just making sure there isn't some browser out there using them
[23:15] <cody-somerville> Okay, sounds good.
[23:15] <mdke> feel free to approach asac about creating an xubufox, I suspect he would be happy to help
[23:25] <emet> okay
[23:25] <emet> where can I find the XML file that defines the "home page" of the help system
[23:25] <emet> I want to use it as a base from my OOBE idea
[23:54] <_MMA_> Would my assumption be correct in thinking that people on the doc team and in this channel are responsible for this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat#Channels ?
[23:55] <_MMA_> I'd like #ubuntustudio-devel added to the "Team channels" section.
[23:56] <_MMA_> With "luisbg" as the "Contact person".
