| little | Hi again, Dougie. (: | 01:34 |
|---|---|---|
| DougieRichardson | hi! | 01:43 |
| DougieRichardson | can't sleep - worried I'll forget clocks go back | 01:44 |
| little | LOL. Why not just set them back? | 01:45 |
| little | They don't go back until November 4! | 01:50 |
| little | So you can sleep. (: | 01:50 |
| DougieRichardson | they go back tonight - in the UK | 01:51 |
| little | Ah, I didn't realize you did them on different days. Learn something new every day. (: | 01:52 |
| DougieRichardson | in 5 minutes time... 0200 on the last Sunday in October. | 01:54 |
| DougieRichardson | I'm sure someone asked that hardware list to come on board a while back. | 01:55 |
| little | Will you be allowed to go to sleep once they do? | 01:55 |
| DougieRichardson | LoL | 01:55 |
| little | Those hardware pages need some love. If that page is well structured, then those guys would be a great addition. (: | 01:56 |
| DougieRichardson | Never really got into the wiki to be honest. | 01:56 |
| little | I started to, but it's overwhelmingly huge, and it seems that any change is just tiny when compared to all the attention it needs. | 01:57 |
| little | I will continue working on it, but I won't delude myself that I can make any kind of significant change in it. (: | 01:57 |
| DougieRichardson | I like the idea of community documentation but worry that there seems to be a drive to turn it into a comprehensive help system - which is kind of the system helps job. The community wiki is for things like "howto turn Ubuntu into a toast printing machine" | 01:00 |
| DougieRichardson | Atleast it was, that kind of stuff you don't see so much now. | 01:00 |
| little | LOL - have you seen the page at TLDP on how to run a coffee maker with Linux? | 01:02 |
| little | This is where it takes a keen eye to spot pages that duplicate system pages and then link to those instead, I guess. | 01:03 |
| DougieRichardson | I guess so. Well its after 0200 sorry 0100 now so I'm off. TTFN | 01:05 |
| bustacap | hello - are there any ubuntu-doc team members alive in here atm? | 03:56 |
| bustacap | OK, I am announcing that I am cleaning up the poo-fight that the EncryptedFilesystem series of pages is in at the moment on the help.ubuntu.com/community wiki - if you guys don't like what I end up doing to it, drop me an email and change it back :) | 03:59 |
| bustacap | also, a heads-up now to show that I have identified myself as well with the NickServ :) | 04:04 |
| bustacap | /msg ubottu naamanc | 04:07 |
| bustacap | /msg ubottu member | 04:07 |
| technomensch | I had no idea the open source community could be so brutal and defensive | 19:05 |
| jjesse | technomensch: what are you talking about? | 19:34 |
| technomensch | my most recent email thread regarding the wiki team home page | 19:37 |
| Rocket2DMn | people are defensive in the real world, too, it's not just the open source community | 19:41 |
| Rocket2DMn | its very easy to step on people's toes | 19:42 |
| technomensch | ::nod:: which is why this is good experience :) | 19:42 |
| Rocket2DMn | indeed | 19:42 |
| Atamira | to what technomensch ? | 19:42 |
| Atamira | to see how many ppl you can piss off before xmas? | 19:42 |
| Rocket2DMn | Just apologize, mention that it wasn't your intention, and be done with it. You dragged that email out for way too long. | 19:43 |
| technomensch | understood. | 19:43 |
| technomensch | now, moving on :) | 19:43 |
| Rocket2DMn | either my imap server sucks, or some other people's smtp servers suck, b/c ive been getting some emails delayed by as much as a day or more | 19:45 |
| technomensch | seriously? | 19:45 |
| Rocket2DMn | yeah, like Scott's email just came in with in the last few hours, and its dated yesterday evening | 19:45 |
| jjesse | i just saw scots email as well via gmail for some reason | 19:46 |
| technomensch | did you get the one I sent out maybe an hour ago where I did include my apology? | 19:46 |
| Rocket2DMn | yeah | 19:46 |
| technomensch | oodd | 19:48 |
| Rocket2DMn | yeah, its entirely possible its my aol imap, but ive never really had problems with it, it happens with bug updates sometimes, too i think | 19:49 |
| Rocket2DMn | spam filter grabs some legit bug updates, too. bummer | 19:49 |
| technomensch | wait..you're using aol imap? | 19:50 |
| Rocket2DMn | lol yes, its a very old email address which i send all my web traffic stuff to (which is what Ubuntu started with, then just grew...) | 19:50 |
| DougieRichardson | me too - scott's email arrived today, weird and confusing | 19:54 |
| Rocket2DMn | ah so its not just me, good | 19:57 |
| DougieRichardson | its been weird, i had no idea what the fuss was. | 19:57 |
| technomensch | which fuss? | 19:58 |
| DougieRichardson | well not fuss, but what scott had said. I only saw what you replied. | 19:59 |
| technomensch | I decided to just give up. I spoke with littlegirl, who to my knowledge, has become the kubuntu go-to person, about it | 20:01 |
| DougieRichardson | people get really touchy about colour. its interesting from a psychological point of view as to why | 20:02 |
| technomensch | ::nod:: | 20:02 |
| DougieRichardson | i often wondered if the choice of a colour scheme, chosen to represent "earth" and ubuntu's origin was sensible | 20:04 |
| DougieRichardson | esp when its common for people to install blubuntu | 20:04 |
| technomensch | is that what you call kubuntu? | 20:05 |
| technomensch | anyway, I have to be going. | 20:05 |
| technomensch | later all | 20:05 |
| DougieRichardson | no, blubuntu is a package for ubuntu giving a blue theme | 20:06 |
| nellery | it's a nice theme ;) I'm using it now | 20:26 |
| DougieRichardson | lol | 20:34 |
