[15:45] <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
[15:46] <Pendulum> heh. any specifics beyond that? (i know of at least 3 style guides for punctuation and grammar for en-us)
[15:47] <Pendulum> (it was suggested to me that as someone who works in publishing, I might be able to be useful by proofreading documentation)
[15:48] <popey> I would ask mdke when he's about Pendulum
[15:48] <popey> he is clueful about these things
[15:49] <Pendulum> popey: okay, thanks :)
[17:25] <FFEMTcJ> I found a problem in some documentation.. Would someone be willing to walk me through reporting it/getting it fixed?
[17:33] <FFEMTcJ> Everyone busy in the classroom?
[17:33] <FFEMTcJ> heh
[18:10] <trijntje> FFEMTcJ, what problem did you find?
[18:13] <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
[18:14] <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 also, there isnt a 'sessions' in 9.10, so its out of date
[18:24] <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 :)
[18:25] <FFEMTcJ> trijntje: i know i can edit.. just dont know if there is a proper proceedre
[18:30] <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
[18:32] <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
[18:36] <mdke> Pendulum: this is what we have - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/StyleGuide/SpellingPunctuationGrammar
[18:38] <Pendulum> mdke: thanks :)
