rickfosbI'll figure it out;  *rickfosb is 120 kph 70 mph... thank goodness for data cards19:03

c7pi guess we should start the meeting soon, it's past 19:00 UTC already19:07
Hanniegodbyk is not present yet19:07

c7psure Hannie19:14
rickfosbagreed19:14
HannieI have a few questions:19:14
Hannielatex code: will this be checked by someone?19:14
c7phm19:14
c7pthe latex code if isn't correct syntacticly raises errors during manual compilation (latex => pdf)19:15
c7pso yes they are checked19:15
rickfosbc7p: based on your outline, and hannie's emails,  I could start getting the screenshots toghether while you guys work on the text if that would help19:16
Hanniefor instance: what should launcher and dash be preceded by?19:16
rickfosbyes on latex: we'll see that during the build and final edits19:16
Hannie\application{Dash}?19:16
c7pHannie: i use the \menu for launcher and  \application for dash, i think we should advice kevin for this19:16
HannieI try to follow kevin's style-guide, but not everything is clear to me19:17
Hanniec7p, you are right. Kevin knows the answers to this19:17
c7prickfosb: do you want as to send you the screenshots together with our sections ?19:18
c7pus*19:18
rickfosbI'm ok with that, yes;19:19
rickfosbI can then include them in the test build and push19:19
c7pcool19:19
c7prickfosb: have you any feedback from the other co-authors ?19:20
Hannierickfosb, since I do not have the English version of Natty, could I ask you to check a few things for me19:20
