godbykHmm.. let's take a look.00:00
godbykhttp://kevin.godby.org/private/ubuntu-manual/main.pdf00:03
humphreybcwhat do you think?'00:11
godbykHmm..00:14
godbykI like the subsection names -- they're more in line with answering the 'how do I...?' questions.00:15
godbykI need to reformat the TOC sometime, but I do like the added level of headings.00:16
humphreybcyeah00:16
humphreybcokay cool00:16
humphreybcwell when you're ready push through the changes. don't forget to pull my latest revision tho!00:16
godbyk(I think they'll be more useful to people than the more generic section headings)00:16
godbykwill do.00:16
godbykgah.. merging sucks.00:19
godbykokay, should be pushed now.00:19
godbykhope I didn't hork anyone else's stuff in the merge.00:19
humphreybchaha00:23
humphreybcnope it looks okay00:23
humphreybcwow00:23
humphreybc70 pages now00:23
humphreybcI won't be surprised if the final publication is 150 pages00:23
godbykkeep in mind we haven't included any screenshots at all yet.00:28
godbykthey'll take up a lot of space.00:28
humphreybcyup i know00:32
humphreybcso maybe even 200 pages00:32
humphreybceek00:32
humphreybcso much for 50!00:32
vishgodbyk: use olive , rather than the terminal , merging is fun with that ;)06:30
godbykheh06:31
godbyknothing is labeled in olve..06:31
godbykthe toolbar buttons all look the same, no labels, no tooltips.06:31
godbykI gave up. :-)06:31
vishgodbyk: yeah , initially it seems a bit weird , but for me it was easier than typing commands in the terminal ;p06:32
vishgodbyk: but now it does have labels , or maybe because i use text below labels option06:32
vishtext below icons*06:33
godbykah, I don't use that option.06:33
godbykand when I hovered the mouse over the toolbar buttons, there were no tool tips.06:33
vishyeah , thats bad... :/06:34
IlyaHaykinson_ianto: ping06:43
humphreybcthorwil: ping10:18
thorwilhumphreybc: pong10:19
humphreybchow's it going?10:19
humphreybcI just wanted to let you know that the "Artwork" page of the wiki is now the design team's sandpit. Also, have you been working on a revised title page with the new name?10:20
thorwilhumphreybc: i asked vish to put the new title on his design. it might already be in place10:21
humphreybccool10:21
humphreybcyou could probably clean up the artwork page somewhat10:21
humphreybcperhaps move all of the previous submissions to a subpage10:21
thorwilhumphreybc: what's the reasoning behind "Version 0.1 development-release January 2010"11:04
thorwil?11:04
humphreybcit's the release of our manual11:04
humphreybc0.3 is the alpha release11:05
humphreybc0.6 is beta, 0.9 is RC and 1.0 is final11:05
thorwilhumphreybc: it's long and unnecessarily technical11:05
humphreybcwe could drop the development release part11:05
thorwilhumphreybc: at least the "development release" should go11:05
thorwilheh11:05
humphreybcthere we go :)11:05
thorwilour audience is unlikely to know about the 1.0 scheme, but it is nice to have something that marks pre 1.0 as incomplete11:07
humphreybcyeah it's not really for them11:07
humphreybcit's for us :)11:08
humphreybcthat's why it should be small, and it probably doesn't even need to be on the cover11:08
thorwilhumphreybc: if there will be something like a 1.1, it needs to be indicated on the cover11:09
humphreybci guess we'll just see how we go11:09
humphreybcthere shouldn't be a 1.111:09
humphreybcin theory11:09
thorwilhumphreybc: i propose: nothing on the 1.0 cover. a "2nd edition" on a 1.1, if the need arises. and so on11:10
humphreybcsounds like a plan11:10
thorwilgood. i'll put that on my design specification11:10
thorwilwhy does the wiki have to be so  s l o w13:32
thorwilvish: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-manual/Artwork13:53
vishthorwil: neat.. I'll read it fully soonish14:08

dutchienot my change22:26
dutchiebut I will fix22:26
godbykthough if it's a url, you should put it in \url{http://...}22:26
godbykyeah, I've had to fix some things to get it to compile, too.  we should have people run 'make' before committing.22:27
godbykjust to make sure everything works first.22:27
dutchieI can't even see what file it's in22:27
