bkerensagodbyk-feynman: so on help.ubuntu.com the footer says23:45
bkerensa"To report a problem, visit the bug page for Ubuntu Documentation"23:45
bkerensaI think thats to vague.... Do you agree?23:45
bkerensaI have noticed a significant amount of people filing bugs on ubuntu-docs that has nothing to do with docs23:45
bkerensaI think they are being mislead by the footer23:46
bkerensaand I think we can improve the verbiage23:46
godbykAgreed.23:46
godbykWe could say, "To report errors in this documentation, file a bug on Launchpad." or similar.23:46
bkerensaor perhaps just File a bug?23:47
bkerensaand hyperlink that?23:47
bkerensa"To report errors in this documentation, file a bug"23:47
godbykThat works. And yeah, hyperlink 'file a bug'.23:47
bkerensa"To report errors in the Ubuntu Documentation, file a bug23:47
bkerensaeven23:47
bkerensa?23:47
bkerensaif so I can make this change23:48
bkerensapleia2: any feedback on that?23:48
bkerensamhall119: thoughts?23:49
pleia2godbyk: +123:49
godbykbkerensa: Looks like you need to modify html/ubuntu.xsl to adjust that text.23:49
bkerensaindeed23:49
bkerensagodbyk: lets hope this code is hacky ;)23:50
mhall119bkerensa: thoughts on what?23:50
bkerensagodbyk: I need to setup a cron to pull down the branches once a day23:50
bkerensamhall119: changing verbiage of the report bug at help.ubuntu.com23:50
bkerensalots of people are filing bugs on ubuntu-docs that are not related... I think they go to help.ubuntu.com seeking help and then they fail at finding it and are clicking the report link23:51
bkerensaand filing bugs on ubuntu-docs generically23:51
bkerensadue to the verbiage not being clear enough23:51
mhall119bkerensa: if you have a lot of people filing code bugs against ubuntu-docs, it's probably a good idea to offer 2 links, one for ubuntu and one for ubuntu-docs, with context explaining which to use for each purpose23:52
godbykbkerensa: It'd also be nice to be able to add a short feedback form to the bottom of the docs pages so we can discover which pages are unhelpful, confusing, etc.23:53
pleia2mhall119: I don't know, people don't really read things once they get beyond 5 words ;)23:53
bkerensa:D23:53
pleia2I'd give just a link to documentation bugs, and have them just figure out how to submit a proper bug for anything else (it's not that hard to figure out)23:53
bkerensaindeed23:54
bkerensaand technically bug squad should be triaging23:54
bkerensakinda23:54
pleia2heh, they need more volunteers too23:55
bkerensagodbyk: should be help.ubuntu.com/index.html no?23:56
godbykbkerensa: Where is that dir/file?23:56
bkerensahttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-doc/ubuntu-docs/help.ubuntu.com/view/head:/index.html23:56
bkerensaoh..... someone is being fancy and dropping links to third party sites with adds in community doc are they23:58
godbykbkerensa: Ah, I think those are generated files.23:58
bkerensa=/23:58
bkerensagodbyk: where is this .xsl file?23:58
godbykbkerensa: In ubuntu-docs, raring branch.23:58
bkerensakk23:58
* godbyk has a feeling that it'll take us a while to sort out how all this stuff works. :-/23:59
bkerensapleia2: also it seems jbicha is gone gone gone23:59
bkerensaI have not seen him for a good week or so23:59
bkerensamaybe longer then that23:59
pleia2bkerensa: do you have a decent handle on things?23:59
