pleia2https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Documentation needs some love, I don't really know how our docs work but it links to http://doc.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/ which is more than a little out of date00:01

knomeand00:01
knomehttp://xubuntu.org/contribute/marketing/00:02
knomethe other subpages are going to need love too00:02
pleia2ah, hadn't seen updated qa/ yet, I shall look00:02
knomethose are pretty much "merges" of the website stuff + stuff on the wiki00:02
knometo be able to drop unnecessary duplicated info on the wiki00:02
knomeeg. the Bugs subpage is probably unnecessary now00:03
pleia2based on feedback I got from charlie, /Testing on the wiki is more clear and should be accurate now00:03
knomeaha00:03
knomesince when?00:03
pleia2I made edits when I wrote the blog post00:03
knomemm-hmm00:04
knomethat's not too bad00:04
pleia2we probably want to revisit it at the beginning of the next cycle though, once we trick someone into becoming the new testing lead :)00:04
knomeand some of that should definitely stay there00:04
knomeincluding the testers page and the testcases00:04
knomebut the "how to start testing" stuff should mostly be in x.org, i think...00:04
knomeas the same stuff for other teams00:04
pleia2yeah00:05
knomethat way we have one place where we can point all new contributors00:05
knomeand the wiki is for those who want to get started already00:05
knomeprobably "how to contribute" could be removed once we make sure all of it is in x.org00:05
* pleia2 nods00:06
knome"projects" too, just link to the release schedule somewhere in the page :)00:06
=== knome changed the topic of #xubuntu-devel to: Xubuntu Development | It's 1st of April | Support at #xubuntu | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule | Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu | Bugs List: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Bugs/PrecisePangolin | Daily Testing results: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/204/builds
pleia2knome: when we consider a replacement application, I'm assuming we just do a casual discussion on -devel rather than the more formal /ApplicationComparisonTemplate?00:10
knomewell, it's good to have something formal to point to00:11
knomealso, i think wiki is a good tool to compare applications and gather opinions00:11
pleia2that one's the first one listed on Old00:11
knomei know00:12
knomehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Toolbox/SpecificationTemplate00:12
knomethat's a bit less formal and scary template00:12
pleia2ah, good :)00:13
knomei tried to condense the stuff found on the other templates to that00:13
knomeeverybody can use common sense in deciding what should be covered00:13
knomebtw, if you are okay with deleting the pages under XubuntuOld, feel free to do it right away :)00:13
pleia2seems to me the BugWatch stuff is much better being tracked on LP with bug importance and stuff (but I don't know the history there)00:14
knomeyes, i agree with that00:14
knomethat's why i wondered that we still did that for precise00:14
knometbh, i didn't even know that page existed, so that's it for the watching part :)00:15
* knome is still lurking00:23
knomehttps://twitter.com/#!/rreyes1979/status/18624652851453952000:23
pleia2I wonder if we should keep just one of these around https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/XubuntuOld/DocumentationHardyAssignments00:35
pleia2but again, I don't know about docs or how useful such a thing is00:35
knomewell, i'm trying to get our whole documentation rewritten in Q00:35
pleia2I think we can delete everything else though00:36
knomewell00:36
knomehmm00:36
knomethe latest is from intrepid00:36
knomeand that's just a really quick listing00:36
pleia2yeah, hardy is the one with stuff in it00:37
knomehardy... that doesn't look too extensive too00:37
knome*either00:37
pleia2whatever you think, I just think it may be useful for when we revive docs00:37
pleia2one of them anyway00:37
knomebut those are all just sections in the offline docs?00:37
knomefile:///usr/share/xubuntu-docs/index.html00:38
pleia2I think so, but the page has a framework for easy viewing of who is doing what00:39
pleia2which I think may have value00:39
knomeif we want to assign things, that's fine00:39
knomei was thinking of a more collaborative approach with etherpad00:39
knome -> paste the doc section to a pad00:39
knome -> let people edit00:39
knomewith some sprints, that should work pretty well00:39
pleia2ok :)00:39
knomeand if we really need a table, we can just recreate00:40
* pleia2 nods00:40
knomethat's what i was thinking00:40
pleia2ok, delete 'em all!00:40
knomeyay!00:40
knomewiki lags :D00:41
knomeok, done :)00:42
knomenow we must only rewrite the pages00:42
knomehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Cleanup00:43
knomepleia2, do you have an insight on the testers-page table?00:44
=== gridcube_ is now known as GridCube
pleia2knome: not at the moment, I'll think00:55
knomethanks :)00:55
knomepleia2, btw, you might want to subscribe to Xubuntu/* at least temporarily as i go and change things here and there :)00:58

knomepleia2, WOW!01:01
knomepleia2, we have that too?01:01
knome:)01:01
knomegah, the wiki is really slow01:03
knomepleia2, you there? quick question...01:04
knomepleia2, do we want to keep the meeting agenda archive?01:05
knomepleia2, i mean, they have *some* documentative value, but on the other hand, you will know what the agenda was when you look at the meeting minutes...01:06
knomepleia2, there is one agenda in 2010, two in 2009, and three in 2008, rest are older01:07
pleia2yeah, keep the archive01:07
knomereally?01:07
pleia2yes, everyone does01:07
knomei'm not deleting the *minutes* archive01:07
knomei'm talking about *agenda* archive01:07
knomewhich we haven't updated in over a year01:07
* pleia2 shrugs01:07
pleia2I guess that's ok then :)01:08
knomeok, good01:08
knomethe wiki is lagging again :(01:10
pleia2it does that01:10
knomeokay, agenda archive deleted01:10
knomenow i could fix the archive frontpage and go to sleep :)01:10
pleia2:)01:11
knomeeverything under Xubuntu/Archive/Minutes/ could now be moved directly under Xubuntu/Archive/ :)01:22
knomehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Meetings/Archive is updated01:25
knomeand i'm off to bed01:25
pleia2good night!01:25

knomegood day+night to you too :)01:25
Unit193Adios.01:26
pleia2the wiki fails at subscribing me to more than a single page at once01:43
Unit193I think the first three words said it all.01:44
pleia2:P01:45
knomepleia2, hmm?07:17
knomepleia2, "Xubuntu/.*"07:17
knomepleia2, without quotes, add that to your subscription box07:17
pleia2knome: I know how to add it :) I'm saying it doesn't work07:18
knome:o07:18
knomei didn't know the . -trick07:19
knomeuntil recently07:19
knomeweird then07:19

astraljavaSoo... how do I make the window borders easier to grab? They're way, way too thin at the moment.13:58
PjotrHello, I have a question about the Abiword package for Xubuntu Precise.14:01
PjotrUpstream, some overdue translations have been commmitted for Abiword 2.9.x: http://www.abisource.com/contribute/translate/14:01
PjotrWill they make it into Xubuntu Precise?14:01
astraljavaI guess an FFe bug could be filed against it, it could be possible, but I'm not an expert WRT translations.14:04
astraljavaPjotr: Give me 2 hours, I'm in the middle of a hockey game. :)14:05
Pjotrastraljava: OK, thanks in advance.... good luck with the hockey!  :-)14:06
astraljavaPjotr: No worries, would be good to get it in for an LTS. Thanks, neither of them are 'my teams', but then... it's hockey, after all. :)14:07
knomeafaik the translations deadline didn't pass yet14:58
astraljavaknome: Oh, cool. So just a debdiff for mr_pouit or micahg would suffice, no?15:01
knomei suppose, but ask -release first ;)15:06
astraljavaWell, it's no biggie. I will have to create the debdiff anyhoo, so filing an FFe bug is just one more step.15:27
pleia2quite the extensive april foolery on G+ (I didn't post it, but I let my co-maintainer in on the joke and he wrote a whole intro for knome's post15:31
pleia2knome: btw, you can click on the timestamps in the logs to get more precise links15:32

pleia2oh my, the DPL retweeted15:34
astraljavaochosi: knome: No idea about the window border thingie? My google-fu seems to suggest it's theme-related, but I have virtually no knowledge about them.15:37
knomepleia2, didn't know that :)17:09
knomeaaaanyway, https://twitter.com/#!/XubuntuLinux/status/18650146077370777617:13

astraljavaThanks!18:09
knomenp18:09
knomeastraljava, maybe you SHOULD be following @XubuntuLinux, that tip was posted there18:10
astraljavaBut that's _SOCIAL_, I don't do that.18:10
knomei don't do that personally either. i lurk behind the @XubuntuLinux-account.18:10
astraljavaWhee. ssh transfer between a Studio precise box and a Xubuntu precise box was interrupted due to a corrupt packet. *facepalm*20:34
