Ahmuck-Srwhat is edubuntu using for photomanagment?16:32
alkisgThe same as Ubuntu, f-spot I believe.16:33
* Ahmuck-Sr is moving to showfoto i believe16:35
Ahmuck-Srk, nm16:44
Ahmuck-Srlooks nice but functions bad16:44
sbalneavAhmuck-Sr: I use both f-spot and gthumb16:50
sbalneavf-spot's quite nice, but It's a bit of a pain to keep two different f-spot installations in sync, owing to the "photos vs. metadata database" dichotomy16:51
sbalneavgthumb's nice in that it ONLY looks at the photos, unfortunately, if you want to tag a photo with a comment, it stores the comment as a .xml file in the directory with the photo, rather than embedding the comment in the photo the way f-spot does.16:52
Ahmuck-Sri need picasa's photo editing (simple and works) without all thier privacy issues16:53
Ahmuck-Sroops17:12

sbalneavIt's looking more and more like I won't get to the handbook in time for release.  But I'm thinking of taking the handbook wikifi-ing it, and I'll get some stuff together at about release time.19:55
sbalneavDoes that seem okidokie with peoples19:55
sbalneav?19:55
mhall119|workhandbook for what?19:55
Lnssbalneav: a wiki would be the best bet imho...so easy for people to contribute compared to other methods19:55
highvoltagesbalneav: +1, wiki seems nice for that19:56
mhall119|workdid we ever determine if we could go from moin->docbook in an automated way?19:56
alkisgI think some converters exist, but they haven't been updated recently, so they'd need some maintaining19:58
sbalneavmhall119|work: Nothing "automated", I figure lets get the wiki thing started, and we'll burn the other bridge when we come to it.19:58
sbalneavI've been doing that alot lately, apparently ;)19:59
