JoseeAntonioRI'll start translating in a few hours03:20
pleia2not ready for that yet03:21
JoseeAntonioRwhen reviewing is done :P03:21
pleia2we had a lot of new folks this week so I'll need to do a fair amount of editorial review tomorrow morning before I move to the wiki03:21
pleia2but I should be able to get the email off to editors by 20:00 UTC or so03:21
JoseeAntonioRgreat, just tell me when it's the moment to03:21
pleia2will do :)03:22
JoseeAntonioRpleia2: Still with the idea of #u-learning?04:01
philipballew_welcome back cuz!!!04:39
pleia2JoseeAntonioR: yeah, I've been lurking on the idea for years :) won't let go so easy05:27
JoseeAntonioRpleia2: I'll start taking some screenshots for the installation manual :)05:28
pleia2JoseeAntonioR: could you update this while you're at it? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall06:00
JoseeAntonioRpleia2: of course!06:00
pleia2I figure that will be the data sheet we use for the class anyway06:01
JoseeAntonioRok - I'll finish with the installation screenshots and then I'll go for it06:02
pleia2I don't actually know how these edits are coordinated, it looks like this page is done for 10.04, so maybe they update it for LTS releases06:04
JoseeAntonioRthen, it's time to edit it06:04
* pleia2 fires off a quick email to confirm protocol for edits06:05
pleia2I mean, it's a wiki, I just want to make sure we don't step on toes :)06:05
JoseeAntonioRexactly - just tell me when you get an answer06:05
JoseeAntonioRpleia2: I've changed some things as the download link, and added an MD5SUM and burn as slowly as possible to the steps06:11
JoseeAntonioRpeople are always complaining about them06:11
* pleia2 nods06:12
pleia2ok, email off06:14
JoseeAntonioR:)06:14

Silverlionhey folks19:35
JoseeAntonioRHi, Silverlion!19:36
pleia2ok, that took longer than I thought :)20:15
pleia2MrChrisDruif: can you have a peek at the email from phill when you have a chance? if it's all correct just a thumbs up is fine :)21:08
MrChrisDruifI've seen it, been working21:09
pleia2JoseeAntonioR: all stats and security stuff is in and I've sent a note off to editors so hopefully they'll be popping in soon to do review21:09
* nlsthzn got a bonus two extra nights to work... so sorry...21:10
MrChrisDruifI've been discussing something about it in a thread over @ the docs-mailing list about this subject21:10
MrChrisDruifI made a suggestion, but no confirmation afair21:10
pleia2MrChrisDruif: the holistic approach thread?21:11
MrChrisDruifYes21:11
pleia2yeah, I thought that was about changing approach, so I was just hoping for whatever are "current best practices"21:11
pleia2we can adjust later as needed, it's just currently a bit unclear how to help21:13
MrChrisDruifI think making pages holistic *is what we should do*, but then again information about how stuff used be done might get lost in the transition21:14
MrChrisDruifI think if you move stuff release specific down on the page and make it as holistic as possible is a good way to go for now21:14
pleia2makes pages like the one for the installer huge and take a while to load due to all the images21:15
MrChrisDruifGot a link?21:16
pleia2anyway, I guess this isn't the place for that discussion, I just need some kind of answer at some point so we can help contribute back instead of rewriting everything in a vaccuum (we don't want to be another ubuntu manual)21:16
pleia2the one in the email, let me grab it21:16
pleia2https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall21:16
pleia2phill said to copy it to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall_10.04 and update it for 12.0421:17
MrChrisDruifYeah, but in the discussion it was suggested to move them to /<release>/<pagename> so that would make it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidLynx/GraphicalInstall21:21
MrChrisDruifI'm acquiring in #ubuntu-doc about this right now21:22
pleia2sorry, I read the thread, I was just trying to figure out what we do *now*, not what proposals are happening21:23
pleia2we can wait to help until things are decided if it'll be soon21:23
MrChrisDruifHere's my latest suggestion, but no one has picked it up: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-doc/2012-April/016589.html21:24
pleia2I know, as I've said, I've read it21:24
pleia2so should we just wait to contribute until a decision is made?21:25
MrChrisDruifI'm hesitant to call this one on my one (I've only just become member of the docs team)21:28
MrChrisDruifown*21:29
pleia2ok21:29
pleia2bkerensa: ^^ for reference, this is why everyone complains about trying to contribute to -docs21:30
MrChrisDruifO_O21:30
pleia2MrChrisDruif: nothing against you of course :) it's just like this every time I try to help21:30
pleia2I worked with jim campbell one UDS to try to help with the "getting involved" docs, but it never went anywhere21:31
MrChrisDruifIf it was just me, I'd say "group them all under one happy release page and make the new one holistic"21:31
pleia2everyone complains that people contribute to ubuntu-manual, but contributing to ubuntu-docs is hard :(21:31
pleia2I dunno, since the official help.ubuntu.com docs are split between versions that does make a fair amount of sense, but I get that some stuff doesn't change between releases21:32
pleia2anyway, I don't want to actually get involved in docs policy :) I'm just an end user contributor who wants to help and doesn't know how21:33
JoseeAntonioRpleia2: great, moving on22:52
