| dsmythies | opps... | 17:33 |
| dsmythies | it is in #ubuntu-meeting-2 | 17:33 |
| dsmythies | For those that attnded the Doc team meeting: Thanks. | 18:32 |
| dsmythies | GunnarHj: did you notcie new format on askubuntu.com? It is not as obvious to me now, just by glancing, when a question has no answer. | 18:37 |
| GunnarHj | dsmythies: I'm still in another meeting. Can we talk in a few minutes? | 18:37 |
| dsmythies | GunnarHj: I forgot you mentioned another meeting. It doesn't matter. I'll probably be off-line when you become free. | 18:52 |
| GunnarHj | dsmythies: We are done soon. I didn't quite understand what you mean. "When a question has no answer"? | 18:56 |
| pmatulis | the meeting time has been change in the wiki and the fridge calendar | 18:57 |
| dsmythies | pmatulis: I am so dense. For me it will be 9:00 in summer and 8:00 in winter. Not 8:00 and 7:00, as I was saying in the meeting. | 19:12 |
| pmatulis | dsmythies: alright, better! | 19:22 |
| GunnarHj | dsmythies: Now I'm ready to talk about Ask Ubuntu, if you like. | 19:24 |
| GunnarHj | dsmythies: To me it looks as if the second column states the number of answers, so 0 (zero) means that there is no answer yet. | 19:27 |
| pmatulis | guys, who maintains the installation guide? | 19:27 |
| dsmythies | pmatulis: Nobody maintains the installation guide. After much work, I had someone interested but they became overwhelmed and bailed. I've done some things, so that I could at least build it. | 20:11 |
| dsmythies | GannarHj: askubuntu.com used to be obvious as to unanswered via colour, that changed. The columns are the same as before, as far as I recall. | 20:12 |
| pmatulis | dsmythies: ok, we (the team) should try to improve the situation | 20:21 |
| GunnarHj | dsmythies: Right, the colored circle when unanswered is gone. But the zero is still pretty obvious, isn't it? | 20:21 |
| phillw | exit | 22:48 |
| gsilva | Hello all. Can someone give me a help in regard to LP + Bazaar + Git + stuff related? | 22:49 |
| knome | gsilva, ask your question and we'll see | 22:50 |
| gsilva | Well, as TL of wiki & docs of Lubuntu, I am trying to (finally) create the Lubuntu manual. To do this effectively, I think it is best to use the "code" tab in Launchpad | 22:51 |
| gsilva | However, I've never worked with these type of tools in my life and I'm not a power user | 22:51 |
| knome | setting up a repository isn't hard, but you have to set up a lot more than that | 22:52 |
| knome | eg. what markup are you using? | 22:52 |
| knome | how do you expect to ship the documentation? | 22:53 |
| gsilva | Exactly, I have no idea what you're talking about | 22:53 |
| gsilva | lol | 22:53 |
| knome | then maybe you should consider those questions before you start setting the tools up | 22:54 |
| gsilva | Well, I want to keep things as simple as possible | 22:55 |
| gsilva | I'm not a power user, so I have no idea what markups do I have available nor the possibilities to ship information | 22:55 |
| knome | well the other question is non-technical... | 22:56 |
| knome | do you want a package that is shipped with lubuntu, or will the documentation exist online? or both? | 22:56 |
| gsilva | exist online | 22:57 |
| knome | if it's a package, how do you want it to appear? readable by a web browser or something else? | 22:57 |
| knome | then more non-technical level questions: is there a reason why you wouldn't use a wiki? | 22:57 |
| knome | do you want to enforce the formatting, or can it be more free-formatted? | 22:58 |
| knome | who would contribute to the documentation: anybody (including users) or only team members? | 22:58 |
| gsilva | Because a manual looks way much prettier and decent. | 22:59 |
| gsilva | Enforce formatting | 22:59 |
| gsilva | Team members | 22:59 |
| knome | practically there is no reason why a wiki couldn't look pretty and decent too, though.. | 23:00 |
| knome | anyway, looks like you want a markup language that can be converted to html with stylesheets | 23:00 |
| gsilva | I see | 23:03 |
| gsilva | thanks for helping | 23:04 |
| gsilva | I'll try and see the best way | 23:04 |
| knome | you might want to see how xubuntu does it, using docbook | 23:04 |
| knome | we produce both a package (with files readable from a browser) and upload them online | 23:05 |
| knome | https://launchpad.net/xubuntu-docs for the source project | 23:05 |
| knome | http://docs.xubuntu.org/1410/ for what the output looks | 23:05 |
| gsilva | thanks | 23:06 |
| knome | np | 23:06 |
