BiosElementWelcome back doctormo02:52
doctormoThanks BiosElement02:52
doctormoany news?02:53
BiosElementWell docbook seems to be the way to go though the syntax is overly complex + it doesn't have an awesome built in ajax powered search >.>02:53
BiosElementBe nice if we could get a final decision though. I still feel docbook is several times harder to edit but if we're looking at designing a GUI it'd be easier to work with.03:01
doctormoBiosElement: Sometimes I wish I could just design the apps and have somone else program them ;-)03:14
BiosElementhaha, I never said we would. but if we have any intention of doing so docbook might be somewhat easier. Then again sphinx is in python so really it's a tossup.03:15
doctormoWell there is the project stuff to do first, not only for UCLP but also because it'd be useful to the wider community too.03:20
BiosElementdoctormo, Not sure I'm following you. Project stuff?03:21
BiosElementdoctormo, This is the same bit of the System Admin's Course that I converted to Sphinx only it's in DocBook. http://pastebin.com/d7bea2e3904:25
BiosElementIt took me about 18 minutes to do that.04:25
BiosElementdoctormo, Let me know when you're back and have a sec05:24
BiosElementWell, I think we have consensus. DocBook or at the very least an XML based format is best. I've just asked three non-techy people what they thought was easier to read and all three said the DocBook format.06:38
doctormoBiosElement: back for a second09:23
