| Pendulum | hi, I was wondering if there was a guideline that gets used for grammar/spelling/punctuation for documentation? (eng-gb vs. eng-us) | 15:45 |
|---|---|---|
| popey | there is | 15:45 |
| popey | sadly I believe it's en-us | 15:45 |
| Pendulum | heh. any specifics beyond that? (i know of at least 3 style guides for punctuation and grammar for en-us) | 15:46 |
| Pendulum | (it was suggested to me that as someone who works in publishing, I might be able to be useful by proofreading documentation) | 15:47 |
| popey | I would ask mdke when he's about Pendulum | 15:48 |
| popey | he is clueful about these things | 15:48 |
| Pendulum | popey: okay, thanks :) | 15:49 |
| FFEMTcJ | I found a problem in some documentation.. Would someone be willing to walk me through reporting it/getting it fixed? | 17:25 |
| FFEMTcJ | Everyone busy in the classroom? | 17:33 |
| FFEMTcJ | heh | 17:33 |
| trijntje | FFEMTcJ, what problem did you find? | 18:10 |
| FFEMTcJ | trijntje: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynergyHowto - under server configuration.. it says to create .synergy.conf - then under running synergy, it shows synergys -f --config synergy.conf, and then shows to mv synergy.conf to .synergy.conf.. | 18:13 |
| FFEMTcJ | then later on it shows adding it to 'sessions' as synergy.conf | 18:13 |
| FFEMTcJ | can I just go through and edit the page to fix it or is there a proper way to do this? | 18:14 |
| FFEMTcJ | also, there isnt a 'sessions' in 9.10, so its out of date | 18:14 |
| trijntje | FFEMTcJ, i'm no expert on this, but its in /community so you should be able to edit it. Maybe you should hang around here for a while until someon from the wiki docs teams sees your question :) | 18:24 |
| FFEMTcJ | trijntje: i know i can edit.. just dont know if there is a proper proceedre | 18:25 |
| trijntje | FFEMTcJ, I dont think theres a procedure for fixing minor things. If they don't like it they can alway's set it back to the original, and the maintainers should get a notification someting changed | 18:30 |
| trijntje | FFEMTcJ, so i would go ahead and edit it, and see what happens ;) | 18:30 |
| FFEMTcJ | ok.. wasnt sure if your supposed to report it first.. since i see that there is a "bugs" thing for ubuntu-docs or not | 18:30 |
| trijntje | FFEMTcJ, i'm not on a wiki team myself, but they say this on their introduction page: The Documentation Wiki is a sub-project of the DocumentationTeam. It is a community-driven and open area of the Ubuntu documentation website which anyone can edit. | 18:32 |
| FFEMTcJ | sounds good | 18:32 |
| FFEMTcJ | thanks | 18:32 |
| trijntje | i would guess a bug is to say 'something is wrong', and just edit it if you are willing to fix it | 18:32 |
| mdke | Pendulum: this is what we have - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/StyleGuide/SpellingPunctuationGrammar | 18:36 |
| Pendulum | mdke: thanks :) | 18:38 |
