| fagan | Rocket2DMn: So are you guys going to remove the GRUB stuff from karmic? Its kinda redundant keeping it there if its not the default. | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| Rocket2DMn | fagan, we'll keep Grub for Karmic since it is only default on fresh installs | 00:16 |
| fagan | Oh ok then | 00:16 |
| Rocket2DMn | besides we dont have any grub2 documentation in Karmic, we dropped the ball on that one | 00:16 |
| Rocket2DMn | We'll have to check out the planned changes for Lucid, with any luck it will be all Grub2 so we don't need to maintain the docs for Grub | 00:17 |
| fagan | we should make a bug to keep track of it | 00:17 |
| fagan | Ill write one up and assign it to myself for the moment | 00:20 |
| fagan | Ah ill just keep track of it using the old bug no use making a new one | 00:22 |
| fagan | night night guys | 00:23 |

| Rocket2DMn | mdke, do we have any sort of recurring task list that we use to make sure we don't miss anything for a release? | 14:22 |
| Rocket2DMn | brb | 14:37 |
| mdke | Rocket2DMn: no but it might be a good idea - do you have something specific in mind? | 17:19 |

| Rocket2DMn | mdke, something straightforward would suffice, like a checklist on the wiki | 17:26 |
| Rocket2DMn | ya know, to make sure we don't miss silly things, like have happened before | 17:26 |
| Rocket2DMn | for instance, we left the DRAFT watermark on the h.u.c pages once, i think another time we forgot the change the version variable in the system docs | 17:27 |
| Rocket2DMn | if you wanted a LP bug as a reminder, you could do that too, and just open it for each dev cycle | 17:28 |
| Rocket2DMn | with a wiki page you could mark each task as complete as you go, then have a bug that links to it, and close the task for a release whent he checklist is complete | 17:28 |
| Rocket2DMn | it's just an idea, but I do think we need something so it's not just all in our heads | 17:28 |
| Saj0577 | Hey guys does that latest email mean we can now edit the ubuntu-doc 's again? | 17:37 |
| Rocket2DMn | Saj0577, yeah, depending on how you setup your local copy of the branch, you can get the latest | 17:45 |
| Rocket2DMn | if you are bound to lp:ubuntu-docs then you are pulling from the dev (lucid) branch | 17:45 |
| Saj0577 | Rocket2DMn: okay and that is the wrong one yeah? | 17:45 |
| Rocket2DMn | Saj0577, most work goes into the dev branch | 17:46 |
| Saj0577 | so which branch do i want then to make sure i am being productive? | 17:46 |
| Rocket2DMn | the main ubuntu-docs branch | 17:47 |
| Rocket2DMn | Saj0577, see https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-doc/ubuntu-docs | 17:47 |
| Saj0577 | argh right cos im currently using lp:ubuntu-doc so i got the right one | 17:48 |
| mdke | Rocket2DMn: there is one for the regular distribution I think, but not for doc specific. I think it's a good idea to use a wiki page | 18:08 |
| mdke | bbiab | 18:08 |
| * Saj0577 hate snetsplits | 18:09 | |
| Rocket2DMn | mdke, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Rocket2DMn/Sandbox/DocumentationTeam/SystemDocumentation/Checklist | 18:48 |
| mdke | Rocket2DMn: looks good. I'm making a few tweaks... | 21:24 |
| mdke | Rocket2DMn: I think it will be a very useful page, thanks for working on that | 21:26 |
| Rocket2DMn | no problem mdke , i dont know the full process, so it's all yours to deal with | 21:28 |
| Rocket2DMn | you can import it to the team wiki area when you're ready | 21:28 |
| dutchie | anybody mind merging https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~jshholland/xubuntu-docs/fix-363365? | 21:32 |
| mdke | dutchie: we're in string freeze at the moment, but it can be merged to the lucid branch when that is created for xubuntu | 21:34 |
| dutchie | even for one letter? | 21:35 |
| mdke | dutchie: yep, afraid so - changing one letter leads to the whole string needing retranslation in every language | 21:35 |
| mdke | and it's unfair to the translators for us to change that so late - we might consider it for a critical bug but not just for a typo | 21:35 |
| dutchie | surely any translators will have noticed that it's spelt wrong and worked accordingly | 21:35 |
| mdke | yes, but that's not how translations work, unfortunately. Once the english string changes, any translations of the previous string will be lost | 21:36 |
| dutchie | that's a pain then | 21:36 |
| mdke | the new string needs to be retranslated | 21:36 |
| mdke | yeah, it's a pain | 21:37 |
| mdke | dutchie: thanks for the work though, we'll merge it when possible | 21:37 |
| dutchie | well, it's not really work, but you're welcom | 21:38 |
| dutchie | e | 21:38 |
| mdke | it all counts :) | 21:38 |
| mdke | Rocket2DMn: see what you think of the latest changes. i'd like to add later some intermediate stages for testing and such like, as discussed recently on the ML | 21:52 |
| Rocket2DMn | mdke, that looks better. Are there more tasks that should be on the list? | 22:19 |
| Rocket2DMn | other than what you just said | 22:19 |
| mdke | Rocket2DMn: can't think of any off the top of my head. I think we'll add them as we think of them | 22:20 |
| mdke | Rocket2DMn: ok, moved into the main wiki section, thanks again | 22:22 |
| Rocket2DMn | sure thing | 22:23 |
| Rocket2DMn | i keep getting all these new email now, i'm trying to figure out how to organize my mailbox | 22:24 |
| Rocket2DMn | sort of adapting as they come | 22:24 |
| mdke | commit notifications? | 22:25 |
| Rocket2DMn | yeah and other admin-type emails, like users joining and applying and whatnot | 22:25 |
| mdke | ah yeah | 22:26 |
| mdke | I filter bzr notifications with subject:(Branch ~ubuntu-core-doc/ubuntu-docs) | 22:26 |
| mdke | the team membership emails are a real pita | 22:27 |
| mdke | I use from:(noreply@launchpad.net) "has been added as a member of" | 22:27 |
| mdke | but that's horrendously ugly | 22:27 |
| Rocket2DMn | for branch notifications i added: from:(noreply@launchpad.net) subject:([Branch *) "Your team Ubuntu Documentation Committers is subscribed to branch" has:attachment | 22:28 |
| mdke | sounds fine | 22:29 |
| Rocket2DMn | bug emails (for those i'm not directly subscribed to): ubject:(* [Bug *) (ubuntu-docs OR kubuntu-docs OR xubuntu-docs OR gnome-user-docs) | 22:29 |
| mdke | gmail sucks for filtering | 22:29 |
| Rocket2DMn | yeah, but if it gets the job down, it's free and has a lot of space | 22:30 |
| mdke | yeah, I love it anyway :) | 22:31 |
| Rocket2DMn | yeah, i created an account just for ubuntu stuff | 22:31 |
| mdke | ah, I use mine for everything | 22:32 |
| Rocket2DMn | ok, i'm gonna delete the draft for that page from my sandbox | 22:33 |
| Rocket2DMn | got everything you need? | 22:33 |
| mdke | Rocket2DMn: I just moved the page | 23:13 |
| Rocket2DMn | oh, ok | 23:14 |
