[02:52] <BiosElement> Welcome back doctormo
[02:52] <doctormo> Thanks BiosElement
[02:53] <doctormo> any news?
[02:53] <BiosElement> Well 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 >.>
[03:01] <BiosElement> Be 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.
[03:14] <doctormo> BiosElement: Sometimes I wish I could just design the apps and have somone else program them ;-)
[03:15] <BiosElement> haha, 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.
[03:20] <doctormo> Well there is the project stuff to do first, not only for UCLP but also because it'd be useful to the wider community too.
[03:21] <BiosElement> doctormo, Not sure I'm following you. Project stuff?
[04:25] <BiosElement> doctormo, This is the same bit of the System Admin's Course that I converted to Sphinx only it's in DocBook. http://pastebin.com/d7bea2e39
[04:25] <BiosElement> It took me about 18 minutes to do that.
[05:24] <BiosElement> doctormo, Let me know when you're back and have a sec
[06:38] <BiosElement> Well, 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.
[09:23] <doctormo> BiosElement: back for a second
[20:20] <BiosElement> doctormo, Are you around?
[20:27] <pleia2> oh hey, a board member should reply to dinda's email
[20:27] <pleia2> I won't be around Monday
[20:27] <pleia2> maybe I'll just speak for everyone
[20:27] <BiosElement> Oh great

[23:17] <stlsaint> lo all
[23:17] <jfluhmann> dinda, I can install and set it up all day long, but that's as far as I go ;-)  (never tried to setup a course)
[23:17] <dinda> jfluhmann: two guys from the SW washington school district offered to help
[23:17] <dinda> one has tons of experience training teachers to use Moodle
[23:18] <jfluhmann> dinda, nice!
[23:19] <dinda> and today this guy emailed me as well:  http://k12opensourcehelp.com/about-me
[23:20] <jfluhmann> dinda, at some point I'd like to get involved with training, so I may ping you some time down the road
[23:20] <dinda> jfluhmann: that would be great
[23:20] <dinda> jfluhmann: do by any chance know Ken Trask from the TCEA Moodle project?
[23:21] <jfluhmann> yep, Ken Task is a member of our Strategic Open Source SIG under TCEA (I'm the current President)
[23:21] <dinda> jfluhmann: really!  you're the Pres?  I'm so out of date
[23:22] <dinda> jfluhmann: do you guys have any regular meetings or events?  or just TCEA convention?
[23:22] <jfluhmann> dinda, I'm the Pres of the SOS-SIG (however, I haven't been involved with the TCEA Moodle project yet)
[23:23] <jfluhmann> dinda, we have quarterly meetings, one of which is at the TCEA convention
[23:24] <dinda> jfluhmann: great - I'm trying to get back involved in all things TCEA
[23:25] <jfluhmann> dinda, great!  Are you going to the convention in Feb?
[23:25] <jfluhmann> the meeting at the convention is when we do the officer change-over
[23:26] <dinda> jfluhmann: not sure yet as my technically my job/work is in training and not education. . .for the moment anyways
