[01:43] <ibeardslee> so I seem to have a myspell-en-nz working .. and a little bit away from the myspell-mi-nz
[01:44] <ibeardslee> will aim to get them up here .. https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-nz
[01:45] <ibeardslee> after they are tidied up etc
[01:48] <snail> ibeardslee: nice
[01:48] <snail> how much work was it?
[01:49] <snail> i keep meaning to do one for sm
[01:50] <ibeardslee> not a lot .. fixing an existing myspell-en-nz .. update-openoffice-dicts doesn't exist on recent Ubuntu or Debian
[01:52] <ibeardslee> and there are mi_NZ.aff mi_NZ.dic from the OOo extension that I can perk for the mi_NZ one
[01:54] <ajmitch> how complete are they?
[01:56] <ibeardslee> from 2008
[01:57] <ibeardslee> could probably do with some updates etc
[02:34] <ibeardslee> well they seem to work
[02:35] <ajmitch> but are they correct? :)
[02:42] <ibeardslee> well māori is treated differently using english nz and māori
[02:44]  * ajmitch is tempted to upgrade to quantal but knows that X will probably die horribly with fglrx
[02:44] <ajmitch> I guess I'll wait for new laptop with slightly less awful drivers
[04:34] <ibeardslee> ajmitch: so what would be the sanest process for getting these dictionaries into Ubuntu (and Debian)?
[04:34] <ibeardslee> neither seem to exist in Debian
[04:35] <ajmitch> beg someone who knows about dictionaries? :)
[04:35] <ajmitch> probably a better chance of getting them into ubuntu, though feature freeze is in just over a week
[04:36] <ibeardslee> .. hmm was thinking of dumping them into the (it hasn't been created yet) ubuntu-nz PPA
[04:36] <ajmitch> while I can upload, I'm unfamiliar with dictionaries, so would need to check out the others
[04:36] <ajmitch> just remember that any team member can upload to the PPA, and it's an open team
[04:37] <ibeardslee> my head is spinning with the inconsistencies around the en-* dictionaries
[04:37] <ajmitch> that doesn't surprise me :)
[04:37] <ibeardslee> trying to find something somewhere that says this is how it should be done
[04:38] <ibeardslee> or at least looking through various/random dictionaries to find common/sane threads of consistency
[04:38] <ajmitch> or it might be that everyone does it their own way
[04:39] <ibeardslee> if I get the two dictionaries into the PPA and then create a bug report to get them included .. would that work?
[04:40] <ajmitch> once the packages are ready, you'd want to subscribe ~ubuntu-sponsors to the bug
[04:46] <ibeardslee> just http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-nz/ppa or http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-nz/localisation
[04:48] <ajmitch> preferably not under the ~ubuntu-nz team at all, just because anyone could upload
[04:51] <ibeardslee> bugger .. that would make a lot of sense of we could manage it that way .. can't be restricted to specific members of the team?
[04:51] <ajmitch> no, you'd set up a separate team for that
[04:52] <ibeardslee> Ubuntu NZ Dictionary team ?
[04:53] <ajmitch> whatever you want to call it :)
[04:53] <lifeless> can't be restricted within the team no, that would be hell to admin.
[04:54] <lifeless> if you want separate rules, use separate teams.
[20:03] <chilts> morning
[20:20] <ibeardslee> morning
[20:30] <Atamira> morning all
[20:35] <ajmitch> morning
[20:49]  * ibeardslee wonders if he should bring chilts back down to earth ;)
[20:50] <ajmitch> what's he done now?
[20:51] <ibeardslee> he's had people saying nice things to him
[20:51] <ajmitch> always a mistake
[20:51] <ajmitch> not a good way to start the day :)
[21:08] <chilts> ibeardslee: heh, please don't
[21:08] <chilts> it's nice being high (lawfully)
[21:08] <ajmitch> hah
[21:36] <Atamira> yeah give him his day
[21:36] <Atamira> we all deserve one now and then
[21:49] <chilts> thanks, someone else can be tomorrow :)
[21:49] <chilts> who wants it?
[22:53] <chilts> so another high for today, the new site launched by the founders of Twitter are using AwsSum (a library I wrote in Node.js) : https://twitter.com/andychilton/status/235501828878520321
[22:53] <chilts> it keeps getting better :)
[22:55] <ajmitch> that's pretty cool
