dhillon-v10Rocket2DMn, hi :D long time no see21:58
Rocket2DMnhey dhillon-v10 , i was on vacation22:00
dhillon-v10Rocket2DMn, how was Christmas22:00
Rocket2DMnit was good, got to see some family and go skiing22:01
Rocket2DMnwas yours fun?22:01
dhillon-v10Rocket2DMn, yup, I slept a lot :)22:02
Rocket2DMnoutstanding22:03
dhillon-v10Rocket2DMn, hey I submitted a little patch for this papercut do you know who can push it: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs/+bug/38165022:03
ubot4Launchpad bug 381650 in ubuntu-docs "help.ubuntu.com does not tell you how to determine which version you have" [Wishlist,In progress]22:03
Rocket2DMnah, that one....22:04
Rocket2DMnHmm, it seems to work, though I'm not sure that is something they would put on the home page, it comes off as a little rought around the edges22:05
dhillon-v10Rocket2DMn, yah it was a really basic script, I can put some more functionality in it, like for time when the user isn't using Ubuntu it will tell him that he's not on Ubuntu22:05
dhillon-v10Rocket2DMn, they can do something like a link22:05
dhillon-v10Rocket2DMn, something like this: Your Ubuntu version: something here22:05
dhillon-v10it doesn't have to be the button, that was just proof of concept22:06
Rocket2DMnI think it would be nicer to have it show up on the actual page.  Also, if somebody isn't using Ubuntu when they go there, it will show something else22:06
Rocket2DMnI think I can push to the h.u.c. homepage, but I don't think I would or should22:07
Rocket2DMnI would leave that to mdke or an ubuntu website person22:07
dhillon-v10Rocket2DMn, what's h.u.c22:07
Rocket2DMnhelp.ubuntu.com22:07
dhillon-v10Rocket2DMn, I am adding some functionality to it, so later on it would be something like: Your ubuntu version: and here it will put the version itself without the button like regular text22:08
dhillon-v10Rocket2DMn, oh and another question, don't you need to be in some website team to be able to push to that page22:08
Rocket2DMnCool22:08
Rocket2DMnI think I can push to the bzr branch for h.u.c., but I can't actually put it online22:09
dhillon-v10Rocket2DMn, I am working on some other bugs that regard the website, where can I get the source so I can make a patch22:09
Rocket2DMnhttps://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-doc/ubuntu-docs22:10
Rocket2DMnsecond from the top22:10
Rocket2DMnhowever, some of the bugs are quirks i think, b/c all the material there is auto generated from the system docs: docbook->html22:11
Rocket2DMnafaik, only the front page is modified directly22:11
dhillon-v10Rocket2DMn, ahh, alright I'll just get the branch, make and submit the patch and then leave the rest for them :D22:11
Rocket2DMnsounds good dhillon-v10 , we'll have to get mdke in on that, but he's been really busy lately22:12
dhillon-v10Rocket2DMn, yah same here, thanks to nixternal I am writing a big part of kubuntu system docs. and he says I have improved a lot22:13
Rocket2DMnsweet, we could use help on the ubuntu-docs too when you get time22:14
Rocket2DMnthere are a lot of outstanding bug reports, most of them arent too difficult22:14
dhillon-v10Rocket2DMn, :) alright I'll get done with the basic ones today since I have some time22:14
dhillon-v10Rocket2DMn, wow i never knew that docs. had that many bugs22:15
dhillon-v10130 open bugs22:15
Rocket2DMnthey really piled up at as we approached the karmic release22:17
Rocket2DMn20 or 30 have been fixed in bzr, some are old crash reports, some are wishlist items, and a good number are already assigned22:18
dhillon-v10Rocket2DMn, sorry to bother you, have a look at this bug: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs/+bug/384148 since grub 2 is going to replace grub legacy should that one be marked fix released or leave that one alone23:05
ubot4Launchpad bug 384148 in ubuntu-docs "Major bug in Console Security help page (affects all version)" [High,New]23:05
Rocket2DMndhillon-v10, I would leave the bug open so we make sure we get the correct info when we switch the docs to grub223:20
dhillon-v10Rocket2DMn, alright I am taking like 5 more bugs, will get done by th end of this week23:25
dhillon-v10*the23:26
Rocket2DMnsounds good23:27
