| humphreybc | hi everyone, I've just created a new channel for the ubuntu-manual project and I'd appreciate it if you could take a look. Channel is simply #ubuntu-manual | 03:04 |
|---|---|---|
| starcraftman | humphreybc: lo, what's ubuntu-manual? | 03:06 |
| humphreybc | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-manual | 03:06 |
| humphreybc | https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual | 03:06 |
| humphreybc | Before I forget, I need to talk to someone about licensing of said manual | 03:13 |
| humphreybc | we sort of came to the conclusion in our meeting yesterday that CC would be appropriate, but what version of CC was the main problem - could anyone shed some light on this? | 03:13 |
| Rocket2DMn | we are down to 50 unassigned open bugs for ubuntu-docs | 03:33 |
| starcraftman | Rocket2DMn: woot, nice job you machine man you. | 03:42 |
| starcraftman | I been answering bit of programming questions from my new paddy :) | 03:42 |
| humphreybc | Hi, perhaps someone could quickly tell me how to create a wiki page header like on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lernid ? | 11:08 |
| humphreybc | I had a look at the source text and all it has is: <<Include(Lernid/Header)>> | 11:09 |
| humphreybc | anyone? | 11:27 |

| humphreybc | :( | 11:53 |
| Pendulum | humphreybc: go to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lernid/Header and you'll see what Lernid/Header is | 11:57 |
| humphreybc | oh thanks! | 11:58 |
| Pendulum | so what you do essentially is create one wikipage just for the header and then link it into the main page you want it on | 11:58 |
| humphreybc | yup I worked that bit out, I just didn't realise that <<Include(Lernid/Header)>> was actually a link - I was thinking it was some sort of custom generated header from a site map or something | 12:07 |
| Pendulum | I only found out because it came up in another channel a couple days ago when someone was asking about editing a header for a wiki page | 12:08 |
| humphreybc | yeah i searched all over the internet for the last 20 minutes and couldn't find anything | 12:10 |
| humphreybc | maybe it should be noted in the wiki Help /SubPages documentation | 12:11 |
| humphreybc | oh does anyone know where some generic icons are that I can use in the menu bar? | 12:13 |
| humphreybc | If you take a look at Jono's site header https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lernid/Header | 12:14 |
| humphreybc | I could pinch his, but I'd rather find some different ones | 12:14 |
| humphreybc | nevermind | 12:23 |
| Pendulum | humphreybc: are you the person to contact for more information about the Ubuntu Manual project? | 12:24 |
| humphreybc | sure am | 12:25 |
| Pendulum | I sadly didn't find out about it until the meeting was pretty much over yesterday, but I'm definitely interested in helping out :) | 12:25 |
| humphreybc | Oh awesome, that's great. Well, we've got our own channel now - #ubuntu-manual | 12:26 |
| humphreybc | The team page is launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual | 12:26 |
| humphreybc | and the wiki is http://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-manual | 12:26 |
| humphreybc | What would you be interested in doing? | 12:26 |
| Pendulum | umm... just about anything? i'm not hugely technical, but my day job is actually in publishing | 12:27 |
| humphreybc | oh that's awesome! | 12:27 |
| humphreybc | Well, we always need writers, I believe there are one or two unclaimed chapters. If you go to the blueprints page here https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual | 12:27 |
| humphreybc | You'll see some stuff that's still not assigned to anyone | 12:28 |
| humphreybc | I'm just writing up the full specifications for all the blueprints at the moment on the blueprint wiki page | 12:28 |
| humphreybc | Formatting has no one assigned, Editing is being taken care of by two people at the moment | 12:28 |
| Pendulum | *nods* i'll look around (i've also just joined the IRC channel) | 12:29 |
| humphreybc | Pretty much everything you need to know should be on the wiki, and if you keep an eye on the IRC channel you'll see a lot going on in the next couple of weeks as we try to get alpha sorted :) | 12:29 |
| humphreybc | also we've just changed to LaTeX - so if you know anything about that, there will be a lot of people with questions (including me!) | 12:30 |
| humphreybc | and if you know who to contact to get our shiny new channel logged, then that's something else to be done :) | 12:30 |
| humphreybc | Oh and might pay to have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-manual/Meetings | 12:34 |
