[02:29] <Junowat> hi all
[02:29] <Junowat> is there a moderator for this channel?
[02:31] <Rocket2DMn> Junowat, what you need to talk to mdke
[02:31] <Rocket2DMn> is something wrong?
[02:31] <Junowat> well I had a question
[02:32] <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
[02:33] <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)
[02:34] <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)
[02:35] <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
[02:36] <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/
[02:37] <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
[02:38] <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.
[02:39] <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.
[02:40] <Junowat> well that's great
[02:41] <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
[02:42] <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
[02:43] <Junowat> I got it all now
[02:44] <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
[02:45] <Junowat> Is that a "honeymooners" reference?
[02:45] <Rocket2DMn> no
[02:46] <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
[21:21] <icheyne> hi all
[21:21] <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?
