| wildmanne39 | Does anyone know exactly how to get a word to show in a different color in a wiki? I have tried the format that is given in the guide but it has not worked so far | 01:20 |
|---|---|---|
| cortman | I know wildmanne39 neither work. I asked bodhizazen about it and he didn't know why they didn't work either | 01:41 |
| cortman | He suggested contacting the doc team. I sent an email to the mailing list but no reply yet. | 01:41 |
| wildmanne39 | cortman, that is good, I am about to eat bbl | 01:42 |
| cortman | k | 01:43 |
| hannie | hi hobgoblin cortman JoseeAntonioR | 14:58 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Hello, hannie. | 14:59 |
| cortman | hi hannie | 15:04 |
| cortman | Are you connected to the official doc team at all hannie ? | 15:04 |
| hannie | no, I am not | 15:04 |
| hannie | I only translated the ubuntu docs | 15:05 |
| cortman | Oh ok | 15:05 |
| cortman | I'm trying to track down someone official to fix the community wiki | 15:05 |
| hannie | matthew East is the one | 15:05 |
| hannie | do you want his email address? | 15:05 |
| cortman | Sure that'd be great! | 15:06 |
| hannie | one moment | 15:06 |
| hannie | mdke@ubuntu.com | 15:06 |
| cortman | Thanks a lot hannie | 15:06 |
| hannie | He is from the doc team. If he can't help you, he can tell you who can | 15:07 |
| hannie | welcome | 15:07 |
| cortman | Great | 15:07 |
| hobgoblin | hi hannie - nice to see you - was it manic :) | 15:15 |
| hannie | hey hobgoblin nice to be back :) | 15:15 |
| hannie | I was very, very busy (like all you guys) | 15:16 |
| hobgoblin | well I've not been too busy with this - but I've been doing a fair lot of daily iso testing lately | 15:16 |
| hannie | Now I am catching up with translations and hopefully the forums2wiki tasks | 15:16 |
| hannie | iso testing for quantal? | 15:17 |
| hobgoblin | yea | 15:17 |
| hannie | do you think it will be very different from Precise? | 15:18 |
| hobgoblin | well in the one I use xfce is upgraded to 4.10 and does some tiling and the panels have a deskbar option | 15:19 |
| hannie | nice | 15:19 |
| hobgoblin | yep :) | 15:19 |
| hannie | hobgoblin, do you want me to start with a special task or shall I just continue reading forum tutorials and judging them? | 15:20 |
| hobgoblin | hannie: this has all been ticking over nicely though - cortman and wildmanne have been doing lots | 15:20 |
| hannie | ok, I haven't seen the list for a while. Time to have a look at it | 15:21 |
| hobgoblin | hannie: yea do that - I think we more or less have the basics under control now and it's just about getting stuff to move | 15:21 |
| hobgoblin | not sure what the others who appear to idle in here are doing mind you ;) | 15:21 |
| hannie | well, what people do should be on the list | 15:22 |
| hobgoblin | hannie: list? | 15:23 |
| hannie | import list | 15:23 |
| hobgoblin | what we need I guess is people looking at threads and linking them to the imprt page | 15:23 |
| hobgoblin | aah yes indeed:) | 15:23 |
| hobgoblin | hannie: at some point I'd like to talk about the manual thing as well | 15:30 |
| hannie | ok, we are now in the final stage of proofreading | 15:30 |
| hannie | Perhaps when we start with Quantal, we can count on you? | 15:31 |
| hobgoblin | yep | 15:31 |
| hannie | That will start in about two weeks | 15:31 |
| hobgoblin | ok | 15:31 |
| hannie | I will let you know | 15:31 |
| hobgoblin | I'm slated to be helping with xubuntu documentation as well | 15:31 |
| hobgoblin | got a lot of time at the moment :) | 15:32 |
| hannie | writing or reviewing? | 15:32 |
| hobgoblin | I can't remember lol | 15:32 |
| hannie | lol | 15:32 |
| hannie | When the Precise version of the manual is out, I have a new task translating it | 15:33 |
| hannie | But this time I will do it together with my team mates | 15:34 |
| hobgoblin | that sounds like fun ... | 15:34 |
| hannie | Eveyone can do one or two chapters, thus the work will be done in a jiffy | 15:35 |
| hobgoblin | relatively speaking ;) | 15:35 |
| hannie | yes, because some chapters are very big | 15:35 |
| hobgoblin | I think I got as far as getting latex or whatver it's called and trying to get the thing from bzr | 15:36 |
| hannie | Did you get the branch to your computer (Projects/ubuntu-manual-precise)? | 15:36 |
| hobgoblin | yea | 15:37 |
| hobgoblin | but it's not been updated since I grabbed it | 15:37 |
| hannie | that's great. Once you have installed Latex Live you can generate the pdf file from the .tex files | 15:37 |
| hannie | you can update it daily by giving the command bzr pull | 15:38 |
| hobgoblin | I stopped for some reason - can;t remember now | 15:38 |
| hannie | It is fun to see how the pdf file grows. Most screenshots are added now | 15:38 |
| hobgoblin | oh yea - it's grabbing it now | 15:39 |
| hobgoblin | done | 15:39 |
| hannie | good. Then you can give the command "make" | 15:39 |
| hannie | in the /Projects/ubuntu-manual-precise directory | 15:40 |
| hobgoblin | that failed | 15:40 |
| hobgoblin | /bin/bash: xelatex: command not found | 15:40 |
| hannie | Have you installed Latex Live? | 15:40 |
| hobgoblin | I obviously didn't get the latex thing then | 15:40 |
| hobgoblin | I should look at the screen before typing | 15:40 |
| hannie | no, and it can take up to 3 hours :( | 15:40 |
| hobgoblin | oh - well I'll let that cook overnight then | 15:41 |
| hannie | good. If the instructions are not clear enough, ping me | 15:41 |
| hobgoblin | I will :) | 15:41 |
| hobgoblin | I remember what happened now - I had a bunch of issues with bzr that I had to sort out - then didn't get any further | 15:42 |
| hannie | ok, but now bzr is ok I guess | 15:44 |
| hobgoblin | yep | 15:44 |
| hobgoblin | well I started latex live off now | 15:44 |
| hannie | so the last thing to do is get latex live. Tomorrow you can let me know if it is installed | 15:45 |
| hobgoblin | yep :) | 15:45 |
| hannie | I'll be gone in a minute. See you all guys | 15:45 |
| hobgoblin | cya - good to see you hannie :) | 15:45 |
| hannie | :) | 15:46 |
| wildmanne39 | hey hobgoblin | 17:55 |
| hobgoblin | evening :) | 19:15 |
| cortman | g'dye hobgoblin | 19:16 |
| * hobgoblin installed texlive | 19:17 | |
| hobgoblin | removed it - reinstall it somewhere else - id it wrong I guess as it was almost 4Gb :p | 19:17 |
| cortman | Yep | 19:18 |
| cortman | I did the same thing once | 19:18 |
| cortman | lol it is enormous | 19:18 |
| hobgoblin | smaller this time - fiddled with it - 520Mb | 19:22 |
| cortman | It's the language packs I think | 20:21 |
| hobgoblin | possibly | 20:23 |
| cortman | What are you planning to use tex for? | 20:24 |
| hobgoblin | I'm looking at helping with ubuntu manual | 20:24 |
| hobgoblin | unless xubuntu docs takes an enormous amount of my time | 20:24 |
| cortman | Terrific- not letting grass grow under your feet it appears :) | 20:29 |
| wildmanne39 | did anyone figure out how to get color text to work in a wiki? | 20:29 |
| hobgoblin | cortman asked in -docs | 20:30 |
| wildmanne39 | okay I am stuck on converting a thread until we get it figured out because italic's do not work either | 20:32 |
| cortman | Yes- hannie gave me an email address of a doc team head honcho | 20:32 |
| cortman | I'm going to email him and see what he says | 20:32 |
| wildmanne39 | sounds good | 20:33 |
| wildmanne39 | I thought may be the color text was just me | 20:33 |
| cortman | Nope | 20:33 |
| cortman | There's a couple launchpad bugs to the effect, re the italics and a few other things | 20:34 |
| cortman | but they get no attention | 20:34 |
| wildmanne39 | I tried italic's in December of last you and could not get them to work but it was my first attempt | 20:35 |
| cortman | Yep. We'll get it figured out. | 20:41 |
| hobgoblin | I suspect it has been broken for a long time | 20:41 |
| hobgoblin | and if the move to sumo actually gains speed they'll likely ignore it | 20:42 |
| cortman | Probably | 20:42 |
| cortman | sumo? | 20:43 |
| hobgoblin | quote from in -docs a while ago " All I knew was mhall119 wanted help going to Sumo? I personally would love to see wiki running something other than moin moin its being the bain of my existence due to its limited markup" | 20:45 |
| cortman | haha | 20:45 |
| cortman | moinmoin is definitely closer to bane than blessing IMHO, but no experience with sumo. | 20:45 |
| hobgoblin | apparently it is what mozilla use | 20:45 |
| hobgoblin | or something like that :) | 20:45 |
| cortman | Oh ok. | 20:46 |
| hobgoblin | SUMO is a django app that runs support.mozilla.org | 20:46 |
| hobgoblin | apparently | 20:46 |
| hobgoblin | but it's not something we need to worry about - or so we were told | 20:47 |
| cortman | That's what "they" want us to think | 20:47 |
| hobgoblin | lol | 20:47 |
| hobgoblin | I haz logz | 20:47 |
| cortman | Whoa | 20:48 |
| cortman | Expect a visit from "them" sometime in the dead of night. | 20:48 |
| cortman | hobgoblin has the tapes | 20:48 |
| cortman | :) | 20:48 |
| hobgoblin | :p | 20:49 |
