| Junowat | hi all | 02:29 |
|---|---|---|
| Junowat | is there a moderator for this channel? | 02:29 |
| Rocket2DMn | Junowat, what you need to talk to mdke | 02:31 |
| Rocket2DMn | is something wrong? | 02:31 |
| Junowat | well I had a question | 02:31 |
| Junowat | I had a problem with one of the ubuntu wiki pages (something was unclear) | 02:32 |
| Rocket2DMn | which page? | 02:32 |
| Junowat | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto | 02:32 |
| Junowat | so I went to the page to create a new revision | 02:33 |
| Rocket2DMn | ok, wiki.ubuntu.com isn't really our domain but we can help you with editing | 02:33 |
| Rocket2DMn | (we primary do official docs and community docs on help.ubuntu.com) | 02:33 |
| Rocket2DMn | so you went to edit, then what? | 02:34 |
| Junowat | well do you know who that domain belongs to? | 02:34 |
| Junowat | yes so I edited the page the way I liked | 02:34 |
| Junowat | then I hit preview to see what my edits looked like | 02:34 |
| Junowat | then I hit submit/change (I forget the name of the button) | 02:34 |
| Junowat | but instead of going through some approval process, the page changed automatically | 02:35 |
| Junowat | which surprised me because I didn't know I had full access to do that. | 02:35 |
| Junowat | I just want to make sure I didn't do anything wrong | 02:35 |
| Junowat | in the worst case scenario, the admin can simply revert the page to the previous version | 02:35 |
| Rocket2DMn | when you Preview it doesnt update the page yet, but after you click submit it does | 02:36 |
| Rocket2DMn | there is no approval process | 02:36 |
| Junowat | oh I see. | 02:36 |
| Rocket2DMn | if somebody were to royally mess up a page, it can be rolled back to an older revision | 02:36 |
| Junowat | oh okay | 02:36 |
| Junowat | so then "anyone" can edit the wiki.ubuntu.com pages? | 02:36 |
| Junowat | I was looking to join that particular team. | 02:36 |
| Rocket2DMn | the same is true on the (more official) community docs at help.ubuntu.com/community/ | 02:36 |
| Junowat | speaking of which, how do I join the docs team? | 02:37 |
| Junowat | I do a lot of documentation in my career | 02:37 |
| Rocket2DMn | the actual official system docs are at help.ubuntu.com , and to edit those you need to commit changes to the ubuntu-docs bzr branch. for that you need training and to have permissions | 02:37 |
| Junowat | oh I see | 02:37 |
| Junowat | okay | 02:37 |
| Junowat | fair enough | 02:37 |
| Junowat | well then I have no problems | 02:38 |
| Rocket2DMn | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/WikiTeam | 02:38 |
| Rocket2DMn | that is the team for working on the community docs, you dont have to be on it, but if you do like to contribute, its nice to be there. | 02:38 |
| Rocket2DMn | https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wiki | 02:39 |
| Rocket2DMn | its a subteam of ubuntu-doc | 02:39 |
| Rocket2DMn | if you want to be on the doc-team, then you apply for https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-doc-students | 02:39 |
| Junowat | I see that now. | 02:39 |
| Junowat | well that's great | 02:40 |
| Junowat | is there any rule of thumb for what I need to do to join this team? | 02:41 |
| Rocket2DMn | you should have a smal portfolio of pages that youve worked on that you can show the team admins | 02:41 |
| Rocket2DMn | there is a section on the WikiTeam wiki page | 02:41 |
| Rocket2DMn | Applying to the WikiTeam | 02:42 |
| Rocket2DMn | you should also get on the mailing list | 02:42 |
| Rocket2DMn | there is a pretty in depth set of pages on the team wiki for the doc-team and its subteams - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam | 02:42 |
| Junowat | I got it all now | 02:43 |
| Junowat | thanks for your help | 02:44 |
| Junowat | there is so much info there | 02:44 |
| Junowat | It is sometimes hard to find it all | 02:44 |
| Junowat | <tree search> | 02:44 |
| Rocket2DMn | no problem, i understand | 02:44 |
| Junowat | thanks a bunch Rocket2DMn | 02:44 |
| Junowat | Is that a "honeymooners" reference? | 02:45 |
| Rocket2DMn | no | 02:45 |
| Rocket2DMn | its not a reference to anything, its just an old name that stuck | 02:46 |
| Junowat | ha okay (gave it a shot) | 02:46 |
| Junowat | thanks again | 02:46 |
| Rocket2DMn | no problem man | 02:46 |

| icheyne | I tried to add some tags to the wiki, but they won't load when I refresh the wiki page | 21:21 |
| icheyne | have they been disabled or something? | 21:21 |
