| rickspencer3 | hi all | 01:23 |
|---|---|---|
| rickspencer3 | if I had some time this weekend to do a bit of writing, would there be anything useful that I could write for 11.04 desktop documentation? | 01:23 |
| jbicha | rickspencer3: hi | 02:11 |
| rickspencer3 | hi jbicha | 02:11 |
| jbicha | rickspencer3: We still need more content written to explain how to use Unity, have you used Mallard before? | 02:13 |
| rickspencer3 | jbicha, yeah, I've written in that format, if that's what you mean | 02:13 |
| rickspencer3 | for Quickly docs | 02:13 |
| rickspencer3 | I just write the XML tags in Gedit | 02:13 |
| rickspencer3 | pretty crude, but that's how I do it ;) | 02:13 |
| jbicha | oh ok, I think most of us use Gedit | 02:14 |
| rickspencer3 | :) | 02:14 |
| rickspencer3 | jbicha, is there like a list of topics where i can pick a couple to work on? | 02:14 |
| rickspencer3 | whatever will hlep out | 02:15 |
| jbicha | j1mc who has been leading this sprint posted this: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-doc/2011-April/015535.html | 02:16 |
| * rickspencer3 looks | 02:16 | |
| jbicha | or you could check out our latest source from https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-doc/gnome-user-docs/natty and convert some of the Gnome Shell stuff over to Unity | 02:17 |
| rickspencer3 | jbicha, cool stuff | 02:17 |
| rickspencer3 | ok, I'll check it out tomorrow and see if there's somewhere I can help out | 02:18 |
| jbicha | so either writing new pages from scratch or tweaking the existing stuff would be a big help | 02:18 |
| jbicha | rickspencer3: thanks for stopping by! | 02:18 |
| rickspencer3 | jbicha, thank *you* | 02:18 |
| rickspencer3 | jbicha, I'll check this out tomorrow, but I'll probably stop back in before I start actually working on anything | 02:19 |
| * issyl0 just committed some changes to https://code.launchpad.net/~issyl0/ubuntu-docs/issyl0 - I thought that was the easiest way of doing things (i.e. finding my feet in the project), as I don't have commit access to the main branch. | 14:07 | |
| rickspencer3 | jbicha, hi | 18:02 |
| rickspencer3 | looking at the branch yesterday, it appeared that if I wrote something along the lines of: | 18:02 |
| rickspencer3 | 1. this is the dash, this is how it works | 18:03 |
| rickspencer3 | 2. this is the launcher, this is how it works | 18:03 |
| rickspencer3 | etc... | 18:03 |
| rickspencer3 | that would be helpful | 18:03 |
| rickspencer3 | however, I'm not 100% certain this hasn't been done, I suspect maybe I just didn't see it? | 18:03 |
| jbicha | rickspencer3: hi, are you still there? I was offline for a few hours | 23:48 |
| rickspencer3 | hi jbicha | 23:48 |
| rickspencer3 | I was just about to leave, actually | 23:48 |
| rickspencer3 | :) | 23:48 |
| rickspencer3 | so, shall I writet an overview? | 23:48 |
| rickspencer3 | I could probably knock that out tomorrow | 23:49 |
| jbicha | yes, unity-introduction is what we have so far but I don't believe anyone is working on it atm | 23:49 |
| rickspencer3 | jbicha, ok, I'll write an overview of the places, launcher, and multiple desktops | 23:50 |
| rickspencer3 | what you do with them, and how you do it | 23:50 |
| rickspencer3 | if nothing else, it could be fodder that could be carved up for other topics if I do it wrong | 23:50 |
| jbicha | yes, that would be a big help as we're especially lacking on the Unity-specific overview topics | 23:51 |
| rickspencer3 | ok | 23:55 |
| rickspencer3 | I'll go for it this weekend and ping you all back when I'm done | 23:56 |
| rickspencer3 | thanks jbicha | 23:56 |
