starcraftkk, well read up, if ya got questions just ask away.18:17
starcraftplenty of sections to help, wiki, system docs, or translation.18:17
directsaurabhi am not able to figure out how can i earn here or it is just free service here for learning18:18
directsaurabhi write articles online on pay18:18
directsaurabhbut i can write as free service also18:19
directsaurabhi think i go for help18:19
starcraftnot sure I follow. Your not gonna be paid if that's what your asking, these are free contributions to the community.18:20
directsaurabhok18:20
directsaurabhwait 2 min'18:20
directsaurabhhi i m back18:38
directsaurabhplz tell me how does it work here18:38
directsaurabhis any assignment or something18:38
directsaurabh?18:38
starcraftdirectsaurabh: mostly people just choose what they want to work on and do so. Its a bit laissez faire I guess.18:39
directsaurabhok18:39
starcraftdirectsaurabh: first pick an area like wiki, then read relevant sections, then once ya up to speed on how the section works try and find something that interests (like a particular wiki page to update).18:40
directsaurabhbut how does work goes here?18:40
directsaurabhok18:41
directsaurabhi think it would take around a week to understand all that18:41
starcraftdirectsaurabh: the documentation team pages? Not a quick thing no getting up to speed, but once done easy to get started.18:42
directsaurabhanyways who is admin here?18:42
directsaurabhlast two are bots i guess18:43
starcraftdirectsaurabh: if ya mean lead (i.e. in charge of team) that's mdke. I'm a wiki admin if ya meant that.18:43
directsaurabhmeans who control this room kicking out or something?18:44
directsaurabhmdke?18:44
directsaurabhor you18:44
starcraftwell it ain't me. Never needed an op. I guess it would be mdke, I don't know.18:45
directsaurabhokay18:46
directsaurabhi checked my mail  i get mails from ubuntu-art is it different then here doc team?18:51
starcraftthat would be art team no? Not related project, we write, they make art.18:52
starcraftyou signed up separately I assume, it's not tied to the doc lists.18:54
directsaurabhok i have subsribed to this team few minutes before18:55
directsaurabhthanks for info18:57
directsaurabhi think i need to claim the page before editing is that like work happen here?19:38
starcraftdirectsaurabh: depends, claiming pages is more for long term updating a wiki page.19:41
starcraftIf its just a days worth of edits go ahead without.19:41
directsaurabhok19:41
Rocket2DMnIt's an open wiki, so you can't really claim pages19:45
Rocket2DMnyou can however let others know that you are working on it19:45
