DarkwingDuckvalorie, take a few moments to look at this. https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Documentation18:18
DarkwingDuckI'm hoping it will help with the docs.18:18
valorieI'm not sure what you mean by "Change Kubuntu.Documentation to your LP name" - where?18:18
DarkwingDuckHere18:19

DarkwingDuckScroll down18:19
DarkwingDuckIn the whiteboard.18:19
valorieI'm not seeing the whiteboard18:20
valorieDependency Tree, with the diagram18:20
valoriethen Nearby18:20
valorieand I am logged in18:21
DarkwingDuckUp from the dependency18:21
valorieok, see it18:21
valoriealrighty, there are a load of kubuntu.documentation items in the todo18:23
valoriepick one?18:23
DarkwingDuckWhat ever one you want to do yes.18:24
valorieok, the liveCD is on top, so I'll do that18:26
jjesseyay for merges :)18:27
valorieso in Kate, I open that bit?18:28
valoriehmmm, that topic I don't see in /docs18:30
DarkwingDuckIt's not, I'll take that one. :)18:30
valorieok18:30
DarkwingDuckIt's changeing the live CD... Sorry.18:30
valorieI'll do about, then18:31
valorieso, work on C, or po ?18:32
jjesseC18:32
jjessepo is the translation portion18:32
DarkwingDuckThis is why I need more then one monitor...18:32
* DarkwingDuck explains it to the wife. :P18:32
BarkingFishAfternoodles everyone.  I'm looking to get some docs done for Subtitle Editor, it doesn't appear that there is any, and the prog needs some explanation.  I just need something easier to write the docs in, and some advice on how to actually get them to work :)18:35
DarkwingDuckBarkingFish, Just general how to docs?18:36
BarkingFishsort of, yes18:37
BarkingFishI started making one for Subtitle Editor, but it was so long winded, and when I tried to get it to work, it moaned about an index being missing or something18:37
valorieso DarkwingDuck, can I change something like "utilize" to "use"?18:39
valoriebecause utilize is one fugly word18:39
DarkwingDuckYup.18:40
DarkwingDuckany changes like that to make things flow better is good.18:41
DarkwingDuckIt also makes translations simplier.18:44
DarkwingDuckvalorie, What one are you working on?18:44
valorieabout18:47
valorieshould anything be added about unity?18:47
DarkwingDuckNo, Unity doesn't effect Kubuntu/KDE at all.18:47
valorieI'm near the end of the doc and have made a couple of small changes18:47
valorieTo install &kubuntu;'s Plasma Desktop, the18:48
valorie<application>kubuntu-desktop</application> package must be installed. To install18:48
valorie&ubuntu;&apos;s &gnome; desktop, the <application>ubuntu-desktop</application>18:48
valoriepackage is required.18:48
valorieis that still true then?18:48
valoriethat one can still install Gnome18:48
valorienot Unity by default?18:48
DarkwingDuckYes.18:49
valoriebecause this is sounding a bit dated to me18:49
valorieno mention of Unity at all18:49
DarkwingDuckYou can add that.18:49
valoriehmmm, I will have to think, then18:49
valorie!18:49
valoriemoar coffee needed18:50
DarkwingDuckvalorie, add your name to the whiteboard on all the topics you want to take. jjesse you as well.18:54
valorielet's see how this one goes18:55
DarkwingDuck:)18:55
valoriefirst....18:55
DarkwingDuckvalorie, any questions?18:58
valorieI'm just wondering how much mention of Unity is wise18:59
valoriebut I'm pretty sure it needs to be mentioned at least once19:00
valoriein particular, that sentence I put above is factually wrong19:00
valorieubuntu-desktop does not install Gnome19:01
valorieanymore19:01
* DarkwingDuck nods19:04
DarkwingDuckNot too much, but make it the truth19:05
valorieoh, and will they still call it GDM?19:10
DarkwingDuckvalorie, That I am not sure of.19:11
valorieso, question, DarkwingDuck: &gnome; should be changed to Unity, or &unity;19:12
DarkwingDuckHave not used the main ubuntu since Intrepid19:12
DarkwingDuckI would say yes.19:12
valorieI've only used it briefly, in frustration19:12
valorieyes which?19:12
DarkwingDuckDo Unity19:12
valorieok19:13
DarkwingDuckBRB, update reboot. :)19:14
DarkwingDuckvalorie, I know that this is a dumb question but, you are bouncing everything you are doing off of Oneiric right?19:17
valorieexactly19:18
DarkwingDuck:)19:18
valorielooking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/TechnicalOverview/Beta119:18
valorieand we decided NOT to do lightDM, correct?19:18
DarkwingDuckAre you running Oneiric in a VM or on your machine?19:19
valorieno19:20
valorieI haven't run a VM for a long time19:20
DarkwingDuckYou are going to want to as you go deeper in the documentation.19:20
DarkwingDuckesp path to19:20
valorieby "bouncing off of" you mean "write in light of"19:20
valorieI assume19:20
valorieDarkwingDuck: I'm willing to do that in the future, even tomorrow19:21
valoriebut not today19:21
valoriei came back early from the cabin for this meeting19:21
valorieand will go back up this afternoon19:21
DarkwingDuck:D19:22
DarkwingDuckThe doc freeze is the 15th19:23
DarkwingDuckI was hoping for more people today.19:23
frankboothDarkwingDuck if there's anything I can help out with, without having access to a machine with Oneiric, please let me know19:25
DarkwingDuckfrankbooth, valorie pretty much grabbed the one that is a general overview... The rest is ensuring that the information is correct for Oneiric.19:27
jjessei'b made notes19:30

DarkwingDuckawesome. Thanks mdke20:08
mdkelooks like some good stuff going on!20:08
DarkwingDuckWe will knock it out.20:09
DarkwingDuckmdke, who handles the server doc stuff?20:09
mdkeDarkwingDuck: no one specific at the moment - currently whoever is willing to review patches. Connor and Jeremy have both been doing some reviewing20:10
mdkehopefully someone will step up from the serverteam as a maintainer20:10
jjessesure20:10
DarkwingDuckmdke, Okay, Is that still docbook or, is that mallard?20:10
mdkedocbook20:12
mdkeMallard isn't really suited to a long book style document like the serverguide20:12
DarkwingDuckOkay, I'll take a look. I use Ubuntu Server here at home on my local server.20:13
DarkwingDuckPlus, ScottK and I work together with Kubuntu and working together with server docs would be simple20:13
mdkecool20:14
DarkwingDuckmdke, will talk later.. .have to run!20:14
mdkeokay, cya20:18
mdkeanyone using Ubuntu Oneiric around?20:18
j1mcmdke: i'll be putting it in a vm shortly.20:21
jjessei have a Kubuntu Oneric vm and a my netbook is running oneric natively20:23
mdkeI'm looking at this bug but struggling as I can't find the application referred to?20:24
mdkehttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-user-docs/+bug/84090520:25
ubot2`Ubuntu bug 840905 in gnome-user-docs "color-whyimportant missing" [Undecided,Confirmed]20:25
mdkeis my version so outdated that it is missing this application?20:25
j1mci think that is new to oneiric20:26
j1mci need to step away. bbiab.20:26
mdkeI'm using a live usb from Friday, maybe I should get a newer one, but seems strange they would introduce a new application since then20:27
* mdke zsyncs20:27
jjesseDarkwingDuck changed the copyright, it was on the TODO/Workitems and i don't have access to edit the blueprint20:38
jjesseDarkwingDuck also made some other minor changes20:38
jjesseDarkwingDuck: also on the whiteboard it says change OpenOffice to LibreOffice which I took care awhile back.  I reviewed and thought I caught all of them.  I also changed the menus-ent to reference LibreOffice20:40
jjesseDarkwingDuck please confirm i made all of the change20:40
jjesseDarkwingDuck also the netbook folder was empty so removed it from the branch20:42
jjesseDarkwingDuck let me knwo if removing breaks anything :)20:42
mdkehey jbicha21:27
valorieok, proposed merge for the CLI section21:33
valoriedo we have some style guide that means we have to use "e-mail"?21:35
valoriethat looks antiquated to me21:35
valoriein Contact21:36
* valorie changes21:36
valoriehmmm, there is a problem, because no one has reviewed my previous proposed merge, I guess21:55
valorienot sure what to do about that, and I'm sort of out of time21:56
valorieI'll be back home later tonight or tomorrow morning at the latest21:56
mdkevalorie: if you commit to the same branch and continue to propose the merge, it should work22:01
