| liw | I'd like to upload a new system-cleaner to fix #271234 and #271390, but they change the UI (command line and GTK both); is the doc team mentioning system-cleaner anywhere and would a new upload be problematic for you? | 10:36 |
|---|---|---|
| mdke | liw: no, I don't think so. it's not installed by default. Being in universe it is unlikely to have translations either, afaik, but you shoudl notify both lists anyway as a matter of protocol | 20:02 |
| liw | mdke, thanks | 20:08 |
| little | Hey there, anybody active in here? | 20:23 |
| perlluver | I am active | 20:24 |
| little | Are you part of the documentation team? | 20:25 |
| perlluver | I am not sure, I have done some editing, so I think maybe | 20:25 |
| little | Ah, I was looking to speak to someone who's in charge of it, or in some way part of the decision-making process. | 20:26 |
| perlluver | ah ok, not me, sorry | 20:26 |
| little | Ah well, at least you're active. (: | 20:26 |
| little | The web pages are kind of a jumble of information, and it's tough to tell what's needed most - documentation that's part of the operating systems or wiki documentation. I'm open for either. | 20:28 |
| perlluver | both the same, they are both equally importnat | 20:29 |
| little | I guess I'll just go onto the wikis and see what needs to be written up, then. | 20:30 |
| perlluver | hang on | 20:30 |
| perlluver | there is a list | 20:30 |
| perlluver | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CategoryCleanup | 20:31 |
| perlluver | there you go | 20:31 |
| little | Thanks! Looking... | 20:31 |
| little | That looks like a great starting place, thanks! | 20:35 |
| perlluver | your welcome | 20:35 |
| perlluver | have fun | 20:35 |
| little | Will do. I write HOWTO guides and I'm out of material to write right now, so I'm looking for something to do. (: | 20:36 |
| perlluver | indeed, I have enjoyed it, hope you do too | 20:36 |
| little | I guess I'm off to change a few things - hopefully for the better. Good luck to you, too! (: | 20:37 |
| omegamormegil | Is there a help document anywhere that a newbie could read to learn best practice type of stuff? I'm thinking of things like what to do with a feature request (use brainstorm or report a bug on launchpad), and how to avoid stepping on people's toes. I know there's lots of information like this scattered around, but perhaps there should be a wiki page providing links to all of it? | 22:15 |
| charlie-tca | There is a wiki for developers at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Home and a wiki for users at | 22:23 |
| charlie-tca | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ | 22:23 |
| charlie-tca | Perhaps a search on one of them would give you answers? I think you could use either brainstorm or bug, your choice | 22:24 |
| omegamormegil | Thanks for the response, but I'm not seeking answers for myself. I was just thinking that a page on the wiki that consolidated this kind of information for new users could be useful. I remember when I first started using Ubuntu that I didn't understand how anything worked, and I didn't really know what launchpad was for, and I didn't know if I should be editing the wiki, etc. I'm talking about a primer. Along the lin | 22:49 |
| omegamormegil | es of the Glossary at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Glossary, but more readable. I don't expect people to sit down and read the glossary. | 22:49 |
| omegamormegil | I was thinking of considering working on something like this, but I didn't know if it already existed, and I wasn't sure if I should just jump in and start typing. | 22:50 |
| mdke | omegamormegil: help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions? | 22:55 |
| mdke | omegamormegil: or, if you are talking about contributing to Ubuntu, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributingToUbuntu | 22:56 |
| * mdke goes to bed | 22:58 | |
