| jo-erlend | mhall119, strangely enough :) | 00:59 |
| mhall119 | jo-erlend: http://www.kryogenix.org/days/2011/01/16/working-with-the-ubuntu-messaging-menu has some python examples for setting an item with a count in the message menu | 01:00 |
| mhall119 | I'm not sure if it's still accurate or not | 01:00 |
| mhall119 | (this is one of the things I've been working to discover) | 01:00 |
| jo-erlend | mhall119, ah. Interesting. Thanks… | 01:01 |

| dpm | good morning all | 08:22 |
| jalcine | Anyone here fancy Docbook? | 08:58 |
| jalcine | If so, is it recommended for package documentation of apps? | 08:58 |
| * ajmitch hasn't really had the joy of using it | 09:00 | |
| jalcine | KDE uses it in conjunction with KHelpCenter to generate documentation; works like a charm. | 09:00 |
| jalcine | But I was wondering how I could do the same for GNOME Help Center. | 09:00 |
| jalcine | Wow, think I figured it out. | 09:05 |
| jalcine | Going to write a blog-post about it because that was NOT easy. | 09:05 |
| jalcine | However, the need to provide documentation with an application can prove that your program's not intuitive enough that user X can look at it and figure out how to use it. | 09:06 |
| jalcine | Hm, okay, got a variable (X-GNOME-DocPath) | 09:08 |
| jalcine | Now to expand that on a KDE system, lol. | 09:08 |
| jalcine | Oh wait, that just goes into the desktop file. | 09:09 |
| jalcine | Sweet. | 09:09 |
| jalcine | Drat, I don't know if it should be a full path or relative path, and if the latter to where... | 09:10 |
| dpm | jalcine, if your app is GTK-based, the recommended format for documentation is Mallard | 09:13 |
| dpm | you can see how it works creating a quickly test project: | 09:13 |
| * dpm runs it | 09:13 | |
| dpm | argh, quickly throws an error | 09:15 |
| dpm | filing a bug... | 09:15 |
| jalcine | I'll look into that. | 09:16 |
| dpm | try running 'quickly create ubuntu-application testdoc' | 09:16 |
| jalcine | Gotta pull in quickly, hold on. | 09:19 |
| jalcine | http://playingwithsid.blogspot.com/2009/10/getting-started-with-mallard-help.html << makes it look quite easy. | 09:20 |
| jalcine | Got an error saying there's no 'create' command | 09:21 |
| jalcine | I'm confused :$ | 09:24 |
| jalcine | Lol, wow, I forgot to install quickly-ubuntu-template. | 09:24 |
| jalcine | Hmm, I'm debating whether or not if I should have a debdiff to my package to make tests run after build-time of the core app. | 12:06 |
