godbykHey, thorwil.  Do you think you'll stick to the same title page for the Maverick edition or design something new?12:17
thorwilgodbyk: same design, unless i stumble over a magically hidden time slot and can then design something better :)12:21
godbykthorwil: Duly noted. :)12:23
godbykI'll change the title text on the one in the maverick repository and regenerate the PDFs then.  (Unless you'd prefer to do it yourself.)12:24
thorwilgodbyk: i do that myself sometime later12:24
godbykthorwil: Okay, cool. Thanks!12:25
godbyk(I only ask because I know that somebody will inevitably freak if they see a 10.04 title page on the maverick draft PDF.)12:25
thorwilgodbyk: so the branch is ready, cleaned up and the templates are all there?12:26
godbykthorwil: yeah, I wiped the maverick branch and created a brand new one.12:26
godbykthen I copied over the .tex files and svgs from the lucid-e2 branch.12:26
nisshhoh that reminds me...12:28
nisshhgodbyk: we are going to need a title page for the dev manual soon12:29
godbyknisshh: thorwil's your man! :-)12:29
godbyk(you can thank me later, thorwil!)12:29
nisshhhahaha12:29
nisshhthorwil: are you willing to create a title page for the dev manual?12:29
thorwilnisshh: rather not12:32
nisshhthorwil: <puppy eyes> please? </puppy eyes>12:33
* godbyk suspects thorwil has suddenly become more of a cat person.12:34
nisshhhehe12:34
thorwillol. i have always been more of a cat person :)12:34
* nisshh hands thorwil a cat over irc12:35
nisshhhow about now?12:35
* thorwil sees the operation fail as the cat claws nisshh 12:35
nisshhyour so cruel thorwil :)12:36
nisshhthorwil: ok, so you wont do it?12:36
thorwilnisshh: do you see a way how the same icon approach could work?12:38
nisshhthorwil: your suggesting using the title page already created for the dev manual as well?12:38
thorwilnisshh: it's worth a thought. what's the title?12:39
nisshhthorwil: Ubuntu Developer Manual12:40
nisshhthorwil: the icons would look kind of out of place, i was planning on using some more appropriate ones12:41
thorwilnisshh: of course. that would be the idea12:41
nisshhyea12:41
godbykthere's a cricket in my room that won't SHUT UP!12:41
nisshhhehe12:41
godbykfinally.. he's quiet now.  wonder how long it'll last.12:42
nisshhgodbyk: i know how you feel, my motherboard has a habit of making my computer case rattle REALLY LOUDLY12:43
nisshhall the time12:43
nisshhgodbyk: i estimate about 40 seconds12:43
godbykI think I've startled it into silence for a bit.12:44
godbykOh, great. Apparently, there's now a debate on the text justification issue.  thorwil, make it all go away!  :)12:44
nisshhgodbyk: it probably saw you and thought "oh shit, he is looking at me weird"12:45
godbykfrak.. the cricket's chirping again.12:45
godbykSo the answer is: 3 minutes.12:45
nisshhlucky i didnt bet anything12:46
godbykThis may be a more irksome version of The Tell-Tale Heart.12:47
nisshhthorwil: sorry to bother you (again) but you didnt actually tell me if you were going to do it or not :)12:48
thorwilnisshh: my "rather not" still stands12:50
nisshhthorwil: ok, ill either find someone more willing, or ill try it myself, thanks anyway dude :)12:51
thorwilnisshh: in any case, you could go through the same thought process that got as the getting started title page. think of possible motives, be it a new set of icons, or something else12:51
thorwilnisshh: if you can present something i can build on, it will become much more likely taht i do the rest12:52
nisshhthorwil: good idea12:53
nisshhok12:53
* nisshh starts thinking12:53
nisshhthorwil: so if i get all the required stuff like title, other text, icons, etc you MIGHT be happy to just blend it together for me?12:54
thorwilyeah12:54
nisshhok12:56
godbykthorwil: I'll let them duke out the icons stuff. I'm headed to bed. :)13:45
thorwilgodbyk: icons stuff?13:46
godbykthorwil: in #ubuntu-meeting.13:46
thorwilgodbyk: you want to leave such a productive discussion? ;)  have a nice dream13:47
godbykthorwil: It's pretty hard to tear myself away. ;-)13:50

thorwilgodbyk: we had it easy with font selection: http://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/archives/type_is_in_the_details.php19:38
jenkinsflan: have you contacted sampath ?19:39
flanI have.19:39
flanNo response.19:39
jenkinsk thanks we shall wait and see19:41
flanCan you remind me which ways a user will have to choose a project?19:42
flanThere's loading a .qsproj file, entering a project URL directly...19:42
flanWas there anything else? Aside from accessing a recently opened project, which is just a special case of entering a URL directly./19:43
jenkinsI have not done loading yet. I thought the main server was going to act as a list as well19:49
flanThat's just a special case of qsproj, once we've got it working.19:49
flanI'm just wondering for my purposes, for the interface module I'll need to hand to you very soon.19:49
flanBasically, I'll just have you call "load_qsproj(path_to_file/url)" or "load_url(url)".19:50
flanAnd have it return a session object or raise an exception.19:51
flanOther arguments, like username and working language and stuff, will be needed, of course.19:51
jenkinssounds good to me :)19:53
flanYay.19:54
flanI'm still on track to have that for you by sometime on your Saturday.19:54
jenkinswow thats great I will get learning19:54
flanWith all server functionality on Sunday.19:54
flanSo I can help you next week.19:54
flanI've got someone who can help tweak the UI, appearance-wise, while we make the internals function, if we need him.19:55
jenkinsand I am off all next week so lots of time19:55
jenkinsthat also sounds good19:55
jenkinsbe back later20:16
flanIt's safe to assume anyone authoring documentation in the F/OSS world has something than can handle CSV, right?21:48
flan(I have Quickshot generating a list of people who've uploaded screenshots as a CSV file)21:48
=== mrjazzcat-afk is now known as mrjazzcat
flanjenkins, CSV seems like it should be a universally viable format for transporting simple tabular report-data, right?22:09
jenkinsyep makes sense to me just read wikipedia22:10
flanI'm lazy. tl;dr me.22:10
flanI implemented contributor reports using CSV and just wanted to make sure nobody'd object.22:11
flanBut the channel is silent.22:11
flanKinda strange, considering how near the writing freeze happens to be.22:11
jenkinsyep it is strange but unfortunatly most of us have jobs :(]22:12
flanYou people and your gainful employment.22:12
jenkinsI am enjoying my job but it does make me tired. I will get use to it. When I get back to uni I will have some time22:14
flanMine needs less-legacy.22:14
flanWhy can't programmers program? D:22:15
flanYay. Just two more variables to define and then stuff to compile-test and then I can convince myself that there's no way I could do anything productive in the remaining thirty minutes and write another QS client-interface component.22:17
