| mdke | j1mc: around? | 08:32 |
|---|---|---|
| j1mc | mdke: hey | 08:32 |
| mdke | heya! | 08:32 |
| mdke | how's the jetlag? | 08:32 |
| j1mc | i'm loving it. it doesn't help that i slept for a good part of the afternoon today. | 08:33 |
| mdke | hah | 08:33 |
| mdke | I just wanted to catch up on where we are with natty docs | 08:33 |
| j1mc | sure | 08:33 |
| j1mc | start with natty docs, i guess | 08:34 |
| mdke | I think we said that we would have a hard freeze around 15 May | 08:34 |
| mdke | are we at the stage where we can do that? | 08:34 |
| j1mc | i can give a read through, but i think we went through bug reports pretty quickly. | 08:35 |
| mdke | There are still a few stubs and such around | 08:35 |
| j1mc | i would think that we could have a hard freeze. there are some bugs in my 'bugs' folder, but i think some of them are kubuntu-related | 08:35 |
| mdke | perhaps we should move them to stub pages and then have the freeze | 08:35 |
| j1mc | i haven't had a chance to go through them, but can do so in a day or so | 08:35 |
| mdke | do you think it is worth having a bit more time on those? | 08:36 |
| mdke | We can be relaxed about when we freeze | 08:36 |
| j1mc | i'll have to take a look and see what kind of topics they are. are they page.stub files? | 08:36 |
| mdke | no | 08:37 |
| mdke | net-email.page | 08:37 |
| mdke | net-problem.page | 08:37 |
| mdke | net-security.page | 08:37 |
| mdke | net-wired.page | 08:37 |
| mdke | unity-launcher.page | 08:37 |
| j1mc | or just listed as "stub' for their status? | 08:37 |
| mdke | yeah | 08:37 |
| mdke | I think I marked the net ones as stubs | 08:37 |
| j1mc | ok - we can review those. perhaps then freeze? | 08:37 |
| mdke | that sounds good to me. | 08:37 |
| j1mc | me, too. | 08:38 |
| mdke | the spanish translators finished everything! | 08:38 |
| mdke | quite impressive... | 08:38 |
| j1mc | that is amazing | 08:38 |
| j1mc | they were really quick on translating the gnome docs, too. | 08:38 |
| j1mc | always lots of updates from them | 08:38 |
| mdke | yeah, they had that head start | 08:39 |
| mdke | about half the strings or so came from upstream in the end I think | 08:39 |
| j1mc | nice! | 08:39 |
| mdke | ok, I'll send an email along those lines, thanks | 08:39 |
| mdke | UDS was fun? | 08:39 |
| j1mc | yeah - do you have an extra minute or two? | 08:39 |
| mdke | yep | 08:40 |
| j1mc | the strategy session was helpful, and i'm putting together a strategy document. | 08:40 |
| j1mc | i'll have a draft ready within the week (i think) for the team to review | 08:40 |
| j1mc | and for 11.10... people gave us some good input there, too. but we can narrow our focus some to see what we can really get done for this cycle. | 08:41 |
| j1mc | be reasonable with ourselves. | 08:41 |
| mdke | yes, I agree completely | 08:41 |
| j1mc | i'm not sure what to do about that docs platform. it seems neat, but there wouldn't be much support from upstream. | 08:41 |
| j1mc | (neither kde or gnome) | 08:42 |
| j1mc | i would like to evaluate it, if only as a way of being considerate to the people who came out to demo it. | 08:42 |
| j1mc | it is open source stuff, so ... just helping out another open source docs team | 08:42 |
| j1mc | i'm going to see if i can get accounts for people. does that seem reasonable? | 08:43 |
| mdke | yes, I think that's the right approach | 08:43 |
| mdke | it's difficult for us if there is no upstream buy-in, because arguably it's not for us to drive new technologies, but perhaps if it was spectacularly useful it might be something we should look at | 08:43 |
| j1mc | ok - thanks for at least that support. i feel/felt like i was going out on a bit of a limb, but it was worth looking at given what i knew about it. | 08:44 |
| j1mc | so... i'll be getting that stuff out soon, too. | 08:44 |
| mdke | it's definitely worth looking at these things I think | 08:44 |
| mdke | so just call a meeting whenever you're ready with the strategy document, I guess | 08:45 |
| j1mc | and i want to start a team blog! :) did you know there was an 'ubuntu tour' project that had translations?? | 08:45 |
| j1mc | i had no idea. | 08:45 |
| mdke | I've seen some irc posts about it | 08:45 |
| j1mc | cool... i will (re: the team meeting) | 08:45 |
| mdke | is ubuntu tour good? | 08:46 |
| j1mc | i'm not sure. it has some good ideas, i guess, but i think it was started before we worked on our new docs. before we had our own tour in the intro sections. | 08:46 |
| j1mc | so hopefully raising our profile a little bit will help to get a bit more attention and encourage people to work with us rather than starting new docs-related projects. | 08:47 |
| j1mc | it isn't just writers doing more work, but also translators. | 08:47 |
| j1mc | anyway, that's all for now... | 08:48 |
| j1mc | i suppose you're off to work? | 08:48 |
| mdke | shortly yeah | 08:48 |
| mdke | I'm a bit behind today :) | 08:48 |
| j1mc | ah, ok. | 08:48 |
| j1mc | i was drafting a uds-related blog post that will cover a few more things | 08:48 |
| j1mc | but that's most of it | 08:48 |
| j1mc | thanks for saying 'hey' | 08:49 |
| mdke | sounds like it was worthwhile | 08:49 |
| mdke | did you get any input from the design people about unity terminology? | 08:49 |
| j1mc | a bit... i actually need to follow-up with them a bit. i didn't get quite as much input from design folks as i had hoped, but some were helpful. | 08:50 |
| j1mc | pippa from the design team used to be a technical writer, so i think she'll be a good resource from their group | 08:50 |
| mdke | oh cool | 08:50 |
| j1mc | and she pointed me to rober (or john?) lee, too, but i didn't get to talk to him. | 08:51 |
| mdke | ok | 08:52 |
| mdke | well it sounds like you got a lot done anyway | 08:52 |
| j1mc | i tried. :) | 08:52 |
| mdke | it was really good to have some docs sessions at uds for a change :) | 08:52 |
| j1mc | :) | 08:52 |
| mdke | that in itself raises the profile | 08:52 |
| mdke | and the team blog idea is a good one | 08:53 |
| mdke | I have a dreamhost account which has a "one click" wordpress setup if you need it | 08:53 |
| j1mc | cool | 08:53 |
| j1mc | well, i think i'm going to try and catch a few Zzz's | 08:53 |
| mdke | alright, sleep well | 08:53 |
| j1mc | thanks. later, mdke | 08:54 |
| UndiFineD | mdke, did you catch barrydrake 's guide to natty ? | 09:34 |
| mdke | UndiFineD: no | 20:54 |
| UndiFineD | good morning :) | 20:55 |
| UndiFineD | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuAdverts/Research?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=simple_guide_natty_unity.pdf | 20:56 |
| UndiFineD | mdke, also poke alanbell about an accessibility chapter he wrote | 20:56 |
| mdke | UndiFineD: that's helpful, we are a bit short on accessibility material | 21:16 |
