| BiosElement | pleia2, If you're around I need your opinion | 03:43 |
|---|---|---|
| pleia2 | BiosElement: I'm working on a migration, but things are rsyncing so I have a few minutes :) | 03:43 |
| pleia2 | what's up? | 03:44 |
| BiosElement | Aight. Do you think having a folder called "book" with all the chapter files for a doc in the same folder as a file called "book.txt" is going to cause a ton of confusion? | 03:44 |
| pleia2 | nah | 03:45 |
| BiosElement | See I've figured out how to split chapters into parts ^_^ | 03:45 |
| pleia2 | cool | 03:45 |
| BiosElement | Yep. Just testing to see how images work with it and I may finally be done | 03:45 |
| pleia2 | :) | 03:45 |
| BiosElement | Another good thing I just noticed is that if you test things in html, they look the same in DocBook. So you can ignore the DocBook specific nags of things like article titles to test things that wouldn't even load in docbook | 03:46 |
| BiosElement | Oh, and the files will be book/ch01.txt, book/ch02.txt and so forth | 03:50 |
| pleia2 | seems reasonable | 03:50 |
| BiosElement | One catch is that images HAVE to be kept in the root folder. | 03:50 |
| BiosElement | Unless you want to type book/images/image.png all the time | 03:50 |
| BiosElement | I think I'll leave putting images in sub-folders of the images folder up to the course creators. Some courses may not have a ton of images. | 03:51 |
| BiosElement | But if they do it'd be ideal to have a folder for the images of each chapter. | 03:51 |
| BiosElement | pleia2, Think this covers the basics of getting started? http://paste.ubuntu.com/276736/ | 04:16 |
| pleia2 | BiosElement: looks good! | 04:17 |
| BiosElement | Great. I'm just trying to write enough to get others started >.> | 04:17 |
| BiosElement | I must honestly say, AsciiDoc is frankly 'fun' to work with. | 04:31 |
| pleia2 | \o/ | 04:40 |
| BiosElement | pleia2, http://bioselement.com/uclp/book.html So far. | 05:01 |
| BiosElement | Note that I didn't run spellcheck so it's probably pretty horrible. | 05:02 |
| BiosElement | >.> | 05:02 |
| pleia2 | broken image, but wow, that looks great! | 05:02 |
| pleia2 | html generated from asciidoc? | 05:02 |
| BiosElement | Yes, the image is broken because I didn't want to upload them to the server. It looks fine local. | 05:03 |
| BiosElement | And yes, all asciidoc | 05:03 |
| pleia2 | cool :) | 05:03 |
| BiosElement | Obviously it's not done. I'm focusing on the organization of things first to run things past everyone else. | 05:05 |
| * pleia2 nods | 05:06 | |
| pleia2 | looks great so far :) | 05:06 |
| * pleia2 hugs BiosElement | 05:07 | |
| BiosElement | Aight, great. I'm going to head off in a few but I wanted to get that much done at least. | 05:07 |
| BiosElement | haha, thanks. ^_^ | 05:07 |
| pleia2 | ok, take care | 05:07 |
| BiosElement | Will do. Lemme know if you have any other comments later. I'll mail doctormo and let him know about it too | 05:08 |

| pleia2 | doctormo: congrats re: http://blogs.zdnet.com/perlow/?p=11167 | 16:39 |
| doctormo | pleia2: Having my blog post misreported? :-D | 16:40 |
| pleia2 | well | 16:41 |
| pleia2 | you got quoted and stuff, that's neat! | 16:41 |
| pleia2 | they did link to it at least, so people can read for themselves | 16:41 |
| doctormo | True, and I did re-edit my blog to clear up abeguity :-) | 16:45 |
| pleia2 | that's good | 16:45 |
| doctormo | BiosElement: Nice work on the how to page | 16:51 |
| txwikinger_work | why are people always so inflamatory? | 17:11 |
| pleia2 | it gets attention | 17:22 |
| txwikinger_work | or turns them off | 17:50 |
| doctormo | txwikinger_work: It wasn't even one of my inflamitory blog posts, that's what's annoying to me. | 18:44 |
| txwikinger_work | I didn't mean you.. I meant this Jason P... guy | 18:45 |
| BiosElement | doctormo, Are you about? | 22:20 |
| doctormo | BiosElement: not for much longer | 22:23 |
| doctormo | BiosElement: Is it quick? | 22:23 |
| BiosElement | Aye, Just thought I might mention that LaTeX has a new-ishly released GUI Editor if it matters. | 22:24 |
| doctormo | BiosElement: Your thoughts as always are appricated. Is it very good for this kind of editing? | 22:25 |
| BiosElement | Well I don't think LaTeX is a good format myself but lots of people mentioned it. Honestly I think it'd be harder in the end. | 22:25 |
| doctormo | BiosElement: That's my fear here, LaTeX was my original thought for a replacement for odf, but to be honest, it's not that easy | 22:26 |
| BiosElement | doctormo, My thoughts exactly. I think AsciiDoc is our final choice. | 22:27 |
| doctormo | BiosElement: Yep, when I get down to editing my sys admin course, I'll be putting it into asciidoc | 22:28 |
| BiosElement | doctormo, I've got some of the early chapter transfered over already for samples. Feel free to check it out. I'm nearly done with organizing things | 22:28 |
| doctormo | BiosElement: Cool, when if you have that branch updated, I can merge it in. | 22:29 |
| BiosElement | Currently my AsciiDoc branch is as updated as I have it. I do need some review of the organization system and further thoughts whenever people get a chance. | 22:30 |
| doctormo | BiosElement: Put it in a merge proposal and email the UCLP mailing list | 22:31 |
| BiosElement | doctormo, Ok. But as I said it's not yet a final draft FYI. | 22:31 |
| doctormo | BiosElement: As you wish | 22:32 |
| BiosElement | Anyway, I know you're busy so I'll let ya get back to things. Should have more work done on it tonight. | 22:32 |
| doctormo | BiosElement: Wonderful *hugs* | 22:33 |
| * pleia2 hugs BiosElement too | 22:33 | |
| pleia2 | good job :) | 22:33 |
| pleia2 | maybe I'll just go ahead and put my course into asciidoc too, since it's not done yet | 22:34 |
| pleia2 | I always say I'll do things like this when I'm on the plane, but then I just sleep instead | 22:34 |
| BiosElement | pleia2, It shouldn't be hard. I recommend you check my branch. I've got a template folder which should get you started | 22:35 |
| pleia2 | ok :) | 22:35 |
| * pleia2 skips out to plug meeting | 22:35 | |
| pleia2 | later | 22:35 |
| BiosElement | Later | 22:35 |
