[01:23] <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?
[02:11] <jbicha> rickspencer3: hi
[02:11] <rickspencer3> hi jbicha
[02:13] <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 ;)
[02:14] <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?
[02:15] <rickspencer3> whatever will hlep out
[02:16] <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
[02:17] <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
[02:18] <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*
[02:19] <rickspencer3> jbicha, I'll check this out tomorrow, but I'll probably stop back in before I start actually working on anything
[14:07]  * 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.
[18:02] <rickspencer3> jbicha, hi
[18:02] <rickspencer3> looking at the branch yesterday, it appeared that if I wrote something along the lines of:
[18:03] <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?
[23:48] <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?
[23:49] <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
[23:50] <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
[23:51] <jbicha> yes, that would be a big help as we're especially lacking on the Unity-specific overview topics
[23:55] <rickspencer3> ok
[23:56] <rickspencer3> I'll go for it this weekend and ping you all back when I'm done
[23:56] <rickspencer3> thanks jbicha
