| dpm | hi mhall119, I was just reading comment #19 on http://developer.ubuntu.com/2012/04/how-to-create-a-wikipedia-unity-lens-for-ubuntu/ - do you think there is any step we should add to the tutorial to improve the lens' installation? | 13:56 |
|---|---|---|
| mhall119 | dpm: there seems to be a misunderstanding about what the tutorial is meant to produce | 13:58 |
| mhall119 | maybe we can add some wording that it sets things up for local development only, not installing it for everyday use | 13:59 |
| mhall119 | and also a bit about using Quickly to turn it into an installable package than *is* appropriate for everyday use | 13:59 |
| mhall119 | I was afraid of this, "quickly install" is being confused with "make install" | 13:59 |
| mhall119 | but I'm not sure of a better wording | 14:00 |
| mhall119 | maybe "addlens" and "removelens"? | 14:01 |
| mhall119 | that'll require a change to quickly though | 14:01 |
| dpm | mhall119, yeah, I think I'll add a paragraph with the comment on it being for local development | 14:16 |
| dpm | in terms of quickly changes, I think adding the new commands to the templates might be a good idea. But since we cannot add them for 12.04, I wonder if I should just mention 'quickly package' - will the packaging work with the lens template? | 14:17 |
| mhall119 | I believe so | 14:19 |
| dpm | cool | 14:19 |
| mhall119 | dpm: what are your thoughts on adding Geany to the list of IDEs on the developer portal? | 14:28 |
| mhall119 | I know we brought up the fact that it isn't in Main, but then again neither is Eclipse, MonoDevelop or even QTCreator | 14:30 |
| dpm | mhall119, as discussed, I'd be for keeping the site simple for now. While choice is an asset in Ubuntu, it can also be too daunting if we present too many choices. We went through a lot of discussion as to which IDEs we would present on so http://developer.ubuntu.com/get-started/, and we reached consensus on those. Note that we didn't add Anjuta, either. Re: universe, good point, I hadn't realised myself that qtcreator was in universe, but my main c | 14:35 |
| dpm | oncern is not to clutter the site with all available options. One thing we could conceibably do is to add a note under the resources site (IIRC we've got an IDE section), but I'd prefer not to add it to the get-started page | 14:35 |
| mhall119 | ok | 14:36 |
