| phillw | gsilva: the couple of people I know on here are benonsoftware cprofitt eagles0513875_ pleia2 and pmatulis But, you should really introduce your self and what your plans are. | 00:12 |
|---|---|---|
| gsilva | sure phillw, I'll ask around to see a possible method for me to implement | 00:13 |

| phillw | pmatulis: there is a young manual doc person from lubuntu with the the nick gislva I ask that you and the others give this young man ever assistance. | 20:59 |
| pmatulis | phillw: a manual doc person? | 21:00 |
| phillw | pmatulis: yup for lubuntu manual, but has to work with ubuntu manual | 21:00 |
| pmatulis | phillw: i didn't know there was a lubuntu manual. i also thought the ubuntu manual was defunct. anywhoo, i'll keep my eye out for gislva | 21:01 |
| phillw | it was a bit of a bolt of the blue | 21:02 |
| phillw | ubuntu manual is for each LTS | 21:02 |
| phillw | but, gs wants to overhaul the lubuntu docs system, which is fine by me. | 21:03 |
| pleia2 | phillw: knome was helping them yesterday, did they need more? | 22:34 |
| pleia2 | (before you joined) | 22:34 |
| pleia2 | wb gsilva | 22:34 |
| knome | i believe a lot more is needed, though i think it would need some team-internal research on what they want first | 22:35 |
| pleia2 | yeah, the links you gave them will be useful | 22:35 |
| gsilva | hi, pleia2 | 22:35 |
| gsilva | thank you | 22:35 |
| pleia2 | if they really want a manual rather than documentation, they should ask the ubuntu manual folks though, they are in #ubuntu-manual and have a launchpad.net mailing list that's different from the doc team | 22:36 |
| phillw | pleia2: knome I believe he has got his head around the basics of pulling in the manual | 22:36 |
| knome | i have very little knowledge on the ubuntu manual | 22:36 |
| gsilva | Yes, thank you though. I had to bash my head around what I could do | 22:36 |
| knome | there are several ways to achieve a similar thing | 22:36 |
| phillw | gsilva: ah, thanks for hanging on in.. .the people here will answer and help you. | 22:36 |
| gsilva | so, I managed to learn the basics of Git, but apparently it's better for both - including Ubuntu - if I do that in Bazaar | 22:36 |
| pleia2 | gsilva: yeah, we use bzr | 22:37 |
| gsilva | So... No worries :) I have a plan, although I'm not sure if that will work. Hopefully it will. | 22:37 |
| gsilva | I'm just not sure how you guys are compiling the final file, but I have an idea | 22:37 |
| knome | bzr/git are very similar | 22:37 |
| gsilva | I never used tex before, so I'll have to learn another thing | 22:37 |
| pleia2 | bzr and git are pretty similar, they are both distributed RCSs | 22:37 |
| pleia2 | tex is only used by the ubuntu manual team, which again, is not us :) | 22:37 |
| gsilva | right | 22:38 |
| pleia2 | xubuntu and the server guide uses docbook, ubuntu docs use mallard | 22:38 |
| gsilva | No worries, I got my head around things. Hopefully I'll manage to do something | 22:38 |
| phillw | pleia2: and knome thanks for your help, he's getting there | 23:10 |
| gsilva | oh yes, of course I appreciate your help | 23:14 |
