knomepeople around?00:21
knomecprofitt, ping :)00:24
dsmythiesI'm here.00:30
knomethat works ;)00:30
knomeno empty wall to talk to00:30
knomeso i'd like to get the teams feedback on a particular thing:00:31
knome(this will take some time, wait patiently...)00:31
knomesome days ago, i made an edit to the PAE page on the community wiki to make the landing page for that clearer00:32
knomethe page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PAE00:32
knomeafter the changed i made: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PAE?action=recall&rev=4300:32
knomethe page got reverted soon back to what it was (see ~the current format) shortly after00:32
dsmythieslooking at first link now.00:32
knomei've been in touch with the person who apparently created and worked on that page for the longest time00:33
knomebut we haven't reached any kind of agreement and i haven't got many arguments why we should keep the "original" formatting00:33
knomenote: in my version, the instructions itself would be under PentiumM, which i also slightly edited (that's partly different from my edit now as wel)00:34
knomesince the documentation team oversees the community wiki, what do people think about the two different approaches?00:35
knomei guess i'd especially would like feedback from the wiki admins (other than me)00:35
knomebut any feedback would be appreciated00:35
knomei'm feel like i'm kind of disqualified to drop any final decision on the issue as a participant in the argument...00:36
dsmythiesI need some time (and am not a wiki admin). You might also want to ask on the e-mail list.00:36
knomefor completeness, the PentiumM page as it would appear on "my revision": https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PAE/PentiumM?action=recall&rev=1000:37
knomedsmythies, ack, i know you aren't, that's why i pinged those admins:)00:37
knomeand fwiw, i'm not in a hurry by any means, take your time00:38
knomei'm an irc person (and not subbed to the list right now...), so i thought i'd check this one first00:38
knometo see what the general opinion was and if there was any kind of consensus00:39
dsmythiesknome: I didn't know you are not subbed to the list. In general I'm not an IRC person, I just didn't get off yet after the meeting earlier. I actually don't understand why IRC is so popluar, but accpet that it is.00:42
knomeheh, different people prefer different kind of communication methods :)00:43
knometbf, email is ok is the signal to noise ratio is good. on the docs list, it wasn't considering all the other noise i also have incoming :)00:44
knomeand i'm not exaggerating when i say that connecting on IRC was one of my first actions ever when we got our first broadband00:45
knomeafter that, it's always just felt the natural choice for me00:45
dsmythiesknome: I'm finding this a little difficult, as I observe good stuff in both approaches. I'm going to ponder, while I do something else that is pressing, then read them again. (I should'a kept quite earlier (just joking))01:01
knomeheh.01:01
knomeprobably.01:01
knomei'm open to suggestions in merging those two as well01:01
knomei mean... doing some kind of compromise.01:02
knomethe feedback and thought is very appreciated btw, it's too easy to get biased... i should've asked this earlier.01:08
dsmythiesknome: Are you aware of the dicussion thread over on Ubuntu forums? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=226364706:42
knomedsmythies, nope.13:22
dsmythiesimnichol: I haven't forgotten about your issue, but have run into a bit of time crunch. What you want to do is trivial with GIT. I defer to what pmatulis said for BZR.21:04
imnicholdsmythies, appreciated!21:08
