| DougieRichardson | Shane_Fagan: Looks good, thanks I've committed it. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| DougieRichardson | OK, gotta run - see you all soon | 00:00 |
| Rocket2DMn | OK guys, BT Wiki Focus Group meeting time, being held here, since we are really part of the doc team | 01:04 |
| Rocket2DMn | Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/FocusGroups/Wiki | 01:04 |
| Rocket2DMn | I'm gonna keep this really short | 01:04 |
| Rocket2DMn | Now that Jaunty has been released and schedules are starting to open up, we will start the Summer of Documentation | 01:05 |
| Rocket2DMn | Last year we focused specifically on the wiki, but this year we will expand into all documentaiton, including system docs | 01:05 |
| Rocket2DMn | you can see last year's notes here - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/FocusGroups/Wiki/SoD2008 | 01:05 |
| Rocket2DMn | For the wiki, we will focus on getting docs updated for Jaunty | 01:06 |
| Rocket2DMn | we will also work on implementing and using the Tag system | 01:06 |
| Rocket2DMn | also see here for the doc team's list of tasks - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Wiki/Tasks | 01:06 |
| Rocket2DMn | The doc team recently reorganized their structure, so the open team is now here - https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-doc-contributors | 01:07 |
| Rocket2DMn | we dont use DocuMENTORS anymore | 01:07 |
| Rocket2DMn | that team there is for anybody contributing to documentation, so if you're not on it, you should join it | 01:07 |
| Rocket2DMn | any questions so far? | 01:08 |
| Rocket2DMn | nothing? | 01:08 |
| Rocket2DMn | has everybody here used the wiki? | 01:08 |
| Rocket2DMn | I feel like I'm talking to myself | 01:09 |
| ds305 | We're listening. | 01:09 |
| Rocket2DMn | Ok, anybody who currently isn't should join the doc-team mailing list - https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-doc | 01:10 |
| TuxPurple | lagging | 01:10 |
| Rocket2DMn | Even just listening in on it will give you a good idea about what is going on the with the doc team, this is esp. useful to those interested in system docs | 01:10 |
| Rocket2DMn | btw, the docteam homepage is here - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam | 01:10 |
| Rocket2DMn | it is being restructured a little bit right now, but it is mostly complete | 01:11 |
| Rocket2DMn | Does anybody have any questions about using the wiki? or how exactly to get involved with the docs? | 01:11 |
| ds305 | I have a procedural question. | 01:11 |
| Rocket2DMn | go for it ds305 | 01:12 |
| ds305 | I had to upload about 10 graphics for updating a wiki. Each I assume generated a message to somebody. | 01:12 |
| ds305 | Is there a way to upload multiples? | 01:12 |
| Rocket2DMn | afaik, you need to upload them one at a time. If uploading attachments mails anybody, it is really limited | 01:12 |
| Rocket2DMn | I wouldn't worry about it | 01:12 |
| * ds305 Will not worry. | 01:12 | |
| Rocket2DMn | However, if you are updating a wiki page, please use the PREVIEW button, not SUBMIT until you are finished with your changes. that is good wiki etiquitte | 01:13 |
| Rocket2DMn | Please, ask any questions that you have, now is the best time | 01:13 |
| Rocket2DMn | Ok... | 01:14 |
| ds305 | Is there an approved method for getting old graphics deleted? | 01:14 |
| ds305 | Sorry for the lag. | 01:14 |
| ds305 | Normal users don't have access to the delete function. | 01:15 |
| nhandler | Rocket2DMn: Since I'll be eating dinner, I just wanted to let you know that I will be participating in the SOD, mainly with the system documentation | 01:15 |
| Rocket2DMn | That is correct ds, you need to talk to somebody on this team - https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-doc-wiki-admins | 01:15 |
| ds305 | TY | 01:15 |
| Rocket2DMn | thanks nhandler | 01:15 |
| Rocket2DMn | Any other questions? | 01:16 |
| Rocket2DMn | The docteam did some sessions during Ubuntu's OpenWeek last week, check out Tuesday's events if you want to see the topics and logs - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek | 01:16 |
| Rocket2DMn | If there are no other questions, we are pretty much done | 01:17 |
| ds305 | You have 42 minutes remaining.... | 01:18 |
| Rocket2DMn | You can feel free to contact me at any time that you have questions. You can also email the docteam mailing list, which I mentioned earlier. | 01:18 |
| Rocket2DMn | ds305, i said i was keeping it short :) | 01:18 |
| ds305 | ;-) | 01:18 |
| Rocket2DMn | last call for questions? Going once... | 01:19 |

| Rocket2DMn | thanks for participating :) | 01:20 |
| duanedes1gn | Rocket2DMn: I am working on the Best of Ubntu Community Forum Tutorials. Someone mentioned there might be interest in having some of these on the wiki. | 01:22 |
| duanedes1gn | What do you think? | 01:23 |
| Rocket2DMn | hmmm | 01:23 |
| Rocket2DMn | those would be best on wiki.ubuntu.com for now i think | 01:23 |
| Rocket2DMn | duanedes1gn, do you have a list of guides you are planning to work with? | 01:24 |
| duanedes1gn | I have been keeping a list of how tos from the forums | 01:25 |
| duanedes1gn | as I get to them I decide"on the fly" if they should be included | 01:25 |
| Rocket2DMn | you should contact the original authors to get their permissions to use them. I don't recall the forum's license, I think it shoud be OK if you dont, but it is nice if you do | 01:26 |
| * cprofitt nods | 01:26 | |
| duanedes1gn | I did write a letter and have been sending it | 01:26 |
| Rocket2DMn | are you planning on converting them to wiki format, or just have a main page that lists links? | 01:26 |
| duanedes1gn | its in DocBook | 01:26 |
| Rocket2DMn | ah right, in docbook | 01:26 |
| duanedes1gn | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/boucft/team/gettingpermission | 01:27 |
| duanedes1gn | thats the letter I have been using | 01:28 |
| Rocket2DMn | cool | 01:29 |
| Rocket2DMn | have you gotten responses? | 01:29 |
| duanedes1gn | So far just bodhi and I think cprofitt | 01:29 |
| Rocket2DMn | btw, you really should have most of that stuff on the team wiki | 01:30 |
| Rocket2DMn | we can deal with that later though | 01:30 |
| duanedes1gn | ahh. I am working on the project and enjoying it. I just wanted to get it out there that the project is being picked up again | 01:31 |
| duanedes1gn | Let me know how it could be usefukk | 01:31 |
| duanedes1gn | usefull to the community:) | 01:31 |
| duanedes1gn | other than as a package for Yelp. If there is another use for it. | 01:32 |
| Rocket2DMn | hm, im not terribly familiar with docbook, but i'm learning | 01:32 |
| Rocket2DMn | if youve been working with it, you probably know more than i do now | 01:33 |
| duanedes1gn | its....neat | 01:33 |
| duanedes1gn | I read moin moin will output to DocBook | 01:33 |
| duanedes1gn | http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/ | 01:34 |
| Rocket2DMn | yeah, not sure how good of a job it does, i think there has been discussion on the mailing list about it | 01:34 |
| Rocket2DMn | have you been following, or was it you writing it? | 01:34 |
| duanedes1gn | XML Mind is a good WYSIWYG program for DocBook XML | 01:34 |
| duanedes1gn | I think that is where I saw it:) | 01:35 |
| jimboe1337 | why is there wiki.ubuntu.com and also help.ubuntu.com???? | 03:05 |
| nhandler | jimboe1337: help.ubuntu.com is the official documentation. That comes from the system documentation. wiki.ubuntu.com is used mainly for teams and personal wiki pages | 03:32 |
| jimboe1337 | nhandler: yeah but what about help.ubuntu.com/community? does that refer to the wiki? | 03:33 |
| jimboe1337 | wait no it doesn't. | 03:33 |
| === nhandler_ is now known as nhandler | ||
