[00:21] <knome> people around?
[00:24] <knome> cprofitt, ping :)
[00:30] <dsmythies> I'm here.
[00:30] <knome> that works ;)
[00:30] <knome> no empty wall to talk to
[00:31] <knome> so i'd like to get the teams feedback on a particular thing:
[00:31] <knome> (this will take some time, wait patiently...)
[00:32] <knome> some days ago, i made an edit to the PAE page on the community wiki to make the landing page for that clearer
[00:32] <knome> the page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PAE
[00:32] <knome> after the changed i made: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PAE?action=recall&rev=43
[00:32] <knome> the page got reverted soon back to what it was (see ~the current format) shortly after
[00:32] <dsmythies> looking at first link now.
[00:33] <knome> i've been in touch with the person who apparently created and worked on that page for the longest time
[00:33] <knome> but we haven't reached any kind of agreement and i haven't got many arguments why we should keep the "original" formatting
[00:34] <knome> note: 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)
[00:35] <knome> since the documentation team oversees the community wiki, what do people think about the two different approaches?
[00:35] <knome> i guess i'd especially would like feedback from the wiki admins (other than me)
[00:35] <knome> but any feedback would be appreciated
[00:36] <knome> i'm feel like i'm kind of disqualified to drop any final decision on the issue as a participant in the argument...
[00:36] <dsmythies> I need some time (and am not a wiki admin). You might also want to ask on the e-mail list.
[00:37] <knome> for completeness, the PentiumM page as it would appear on "my revision": https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PAE/PentiumM?action=recall&rev=10
[00:37] <knome> dsmythies, ack, i know you aren't, that's why i pinged those admins:)
[00:38] <knome> and fwiw, i'm not in a hurry by any means, take your time
[00:38] <knome> i'm an irc person (and not subbed to the list right now...), so i thought i'd check this one first
[00:39] <knome> to see what the general opinion was and if there was any kind of consensus
[00:42] <dsmythies> knome: 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.
[00:43] <knome> heh, different people prefer different kind of communication methods :)
[00:44] <knome> tbf, 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 :)
[00:45] <knome> and i'm not exaggerating when i say that connecting on IRC was one of my first actions ever when we got our first broadband
[00:45] <knome> after that, it's always just felt the natural choice for me
[01:01] <dsmythies> knome: 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] <knome> heh.
[01:01] <knome> probably.
[01:01] <knome> i'm open to suggestions in merging those two as well
[01:02] <knome> i mean... doing some kind of compromise.
[01:08] <knome> the feedback and thought is very appreciated btw, it's too easy to get biased... i should've asked this earlier.
[06:42] <dsmythies> knome: Are you aware of the dicussion thread over on Ubuntu forums? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2263647
[13:22] <knome> dsmythies, nope.
[21:04] <dsmythies> imnichol: 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.
[21:08] <imnichol> dsmythies, appreciated!
