[17:50] <cache_surplus> hello, i was wondering, if i have a launchpad account, am i able to modify the docs that may be outdated or need clean up?
[17:55] <cjohnston> cache_surplus: are you talking about help.ubuntu.com or something else?
[17:55] <cache_surplus> ubuntu help
[17:55] <cjohnston> you would have to check out the package and edit them that way
[17:55] <cache_surplus> actually any and all documentation
[17:56] <cjohnston> the wiki you can edit from the wiki... everything else, afaik, has to be edited in the source package
[17:56] <cache_surplus> on ubuntu.com you do a search, and then results pop up. i'd like to be able to edit those
[17:56] <cache_surplus> ic
[17:56] <cache_surplus> so like cvs the package, modify then check back in
[17:56] <cache_surplus> correct
[17:56] <cjohnston> ya.. bzr
[17:56] <cache_surplus> or does someone review it first prior to check in
[17:56] <cjohnston> and then someone would review and merge it back in
[17:56] <cache_surplus> bzr?
[17:56] <cjohnston> you would do a merge proposal
[17:57] <cache_surplus> ic
[17:57] <cjohnston> that is the cvs used
[17:57] <cache_surplus> k
[17:57] <cache_surplus> ic

[17:57] <cache_surplus> i was wondering, usually 3 letters is a cvs type prog
[17:57] <cjohnston> ya.. its actually bazaar, but the commands are bzr
[17:57] <cache_surplus> got it
[17:57] <cache_surplus> doubt it was buzzer lol
[17:58] <cjohnston> if you look at the links in the topic, that would help you alot
[17:58] <cjohnston> i dont actually work with the docs team.. i just happened to have joined the other day and never left
[17:58] <cjohnston> lol

[17:58] <cache_surplus> nothing wrong with that
[17:59] <cjohnston> that one, and looks like the get involved link is a good omne tooo
[17:59] <cache_surplus> yah i just noticed somethings are a little old info wise, and after a year or so of noticing these things i figured i could do something about it, when i ran across them
[17:59] <cjohnston> yup.. and you can also file bugs against stuff too
[18:00] <cache_surplus> yah, i found only one last year, maybe two
[18:01] <cache_surplus> the gnome task bar and windows are moving rather than staying put.. such as the clock/calendar and stock ticker
[18:01] <cache_surplus> nothing major, but annoying
[18:01] <cache_surplus> also wicd
[18:02] <cache_surplus> i also found the best way to stop/start NetworkManager for wireless issues...
[18:02] <cache_surplus> anyfoo, little things, that make life simplier
[18:58] <cache_surplus> where can i find more info about the @SIG@  macro for the wiki in general all the macros or special wiki chars. thanks links?
