jenkinshello nisshh I have made a start on the quickly chapter, with some help from didrocks blog. He said i could use it as a base (I asked), it was so well written I am adjusting it to fit our use. I am writing any missing bits as well.20:06
jenkinsAre we using the same latex commands as the ubuntu manual?20:06
jenkinsI have not just coppied and pasted his blog :P20:06
nisshhjenkins: hey20:12
nisshhwasnt looking at IRC for a minute there20:12
jenkinsno worries20:13
nisshhjenkins: yea, just use the same stuff as in the ubuntu-manual20:13
jenkinscool, some of didrocks blog covered what we want very well and I did not see the point in me rewriting it20:13
nisshhjenkins: but, i was talking to godbyk the other day, and he told me not to use the /code command for code, he said to use the /terminal command instead20:13
jenkinscool, glad you told me I was about to look that one up20:14
nisshhjenkins: thats cool, as long as it fits with the sample app and the other chapters20:14
nisshhjenkins: yea, according to rick i have foresight20:14
nisshh:)20:15
jenkinsyea we still need to work out the whole sample app thing, quickly create ubuntu-aplication <name of sample app> is all that needs to be covered for this chapter20:15
nisshhyea20:18
nisshhjenkins: there is some stuff about releasing the sample app using quickly, its one of the last chapters20:18

jenkinsfrom #ubuntu "(22:21:25) elitexray: Oh I just wanted to tell them great job on Ubuntu's manual -- it's a very good read" I said I would pass it on22:23
askhl_Hi.  The default ubuntu-manual offered for translation is the lucid-e2 one.  Has this recently changed?  I'm asking because for some reason we have more translated strings (*and* more suggestions) for lucid-e1.22:31
askhl_Also, even the maverick edition has more translations and suggestions.  Surely something has gone wrong, no?22:31
godbykaskhl_: The default translation should still be lucid-e1, afaik.  If that's changed recently, it's probably in error.  (Or I'm just out of the loop.)22:36
godbykLaunchpad will notice the same strings in lucid-e1, e2, and maverick, and copy the translations from other branches and projects.22:37
godbykBut most of those strings will be changing a bit from one edition to the next.22:37
godbykThe e2 translation template hasn't been uploaded yet (again, as far as I know), so those strings will be old and out-dated.22:37
dutchiei keep getting worrying emails that the e2 pot is getting uploaded22:38
jenkinsI changed the default to lucid-e1 about 9 days ago who changed it back to lucid-e2?22:40
dutchienot me22:40
jenkinsben changed it to lucid-e2 in the first place but we can't update it as po4 is being anoying so i put it back to lucid-e1. and we are still working on editon 222:41
jenkinsits not frozen22:41
* jenkins sets it back22:42
jenkinsI have just had a chat to wgrant in #launchpad, I think it might be an idea to make up an ubuntu-manual-admins groups and make them the owner of the project, currently we have 448 members who can change https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual/+settings , as long as we set the branches to ubuntu-manual owned everyone in the ubuntu-manual-team will be able to contribute still but not able to change setti23:05
jenkinsthey can also change other setting pages23:05
dutchiejenkins: sounds good to me23:06
dutchiedo you have enough rights to do that all yourself?23:06
jenkinsI can indeed should i run it past ben first?23:06
dutchieprobably23:07
godbykmeh.. I vote for doing it. :)23:07
dutchienot that he's around or anything23:07
godbykEspecially since those notice emails don't give us enough info to know who made the change or why.23:07
jenkinshe has not responeded to my last e-mail, is he away?23:08
* godbyk votes for doing it before humpreybc comes back! ;-)23:08
godbykHe was on last night.23:08
jenkinsyea i just checked the info on his nick23:08
jenkinsI think I will tell him first as I don't want it to be changed back23:09
jenkinsI think I will change the ppa to be owend by the new team if we do it, that way less people can upload to it.23:13
jenkinsgodbyk: did you get any where with why my indexes had Japanese letters?23:13
godbykjenkins: good idea.23:14
godbykjenkins: no, I haven't.23:14
jenkinsit will break the latex ppa but that has that bug in it at the moment so I am not too worried.23:14
godbykbut they're going to be releasing TeX Live 2010 in the next month or so.  Just a heads-up.23:14
jenkinsI am thinking ubuntu-manual-maintainers for the team. I better look at packaging that, it will be fun uploading it all to launchpad at home23:15
godbykno doubt.23:16
jenkinsit will take days :/23:16
godbykjust pop into campus and upload from there.23:19
godbykthat's what I always do.23:19
jenkinsI can't I will not be there for nearly a year :( as I am no placement23:19
jenkins*on23:21
jenkinse-mail sent23:24
godbykso you have a full year of nothing but ubuntu manual project to keep you busy?  nice!  ;-)23:29
jenkinsI wish that was the case I now have loads of scout stuff, and living at home has its distractions :( . I still have a ton of quickshot stuff to do23:30
jenkinsI am commuting 90mins a day23:30
jenkinsI will be doing my best to help though23:31
askhl_godbyk, thank you for the answer, and sorry for running away so suddenly23:32
askhl_also, will you do a new build of the manual soon? :)23:34
godbykaskhl_: oh, sure.  I'll download the translations a bit later this evening and upload new PDFs.23:37
godbykjenkins: scout stuff?23:37
jenkinsyea, I am a scout leader here http://www.scouts.org.uk/ my home group needs alot of help /work to keep it going23:38
godbykah, cool.23:40
askhl_godbyk, great, thanks23:40
askhl_Say, if you don't mind the endless questions, how many languages has the manual been released in?  Only Greek doesn't have a checkmark next to it on the builds page, while a few others are at 100%.  Some of them also have warnings etc.23:42
godbykOnly Greek and German have been released.23:42
jenkinsgerman and english thats all so far23:42
godbykI haven't heard from the other translation editors yet.  I assume they're still editing/proofreading, but I don't know.23:42
askhl_Okay, but they could expect you to release the manuals.  That's how things normally are with programs23:43
godbykaskhl_: Yeah. I'm going to email the list later this week or this weekend to ask for status reports from the translation editors.23:44
askhl_All right.  Is it the launchpad mailing list?  I'd better join23:44
askhl_The thing is, since I haven't joined, it can't be assumed that they have either :)23:44
godbykYeah, the mailing list hosted on Launchpad.23:44
godbykIt's certainly possible that they haven't.23:44
