[22:21] pleia2: its clear its not a over night thing true but I don;t think the benefits could be over looked [22:21] context: ahoneybun proposing that all documentation teams move to RST [22:21] ahoneybun: I definitely see benefits :) [22:22] it's just a lot of work [22:22] plus I;m maining talking about online docs not deskop atm [22:22] *mainly [22:22] *desktop [22:22] the desktop documents are online [22:23] just like xubuntu docs, ubuntu desktop docs are built and the output is published online [22:23] I see [22:23] the help.ubuntu.com/community/ wiki is supplimental to that [22:23] then the way I'm talking about would reverse - online -> desktop [22:23] * pleia2 needs to publish the xubuntu docs for 15.04 soon :\ [22:24] I saw that [22:24] not really, I assume the RST files would still reside in bzr? [22:25] and we don't want all the ubuntu wiki put into the official docs, that's a huge maintenance burden and ruins the whole point of an easy to contribute to wiki [22:25] you should be able to host them on LP [22:25] the core things really [22:25] pleia2: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6zAAODZFwQ2SGJCQ1YxRE1IaUU/view?usp=sharing [22:25] the core things are already in the desktop documentation [22:27] anyway, just some thoughts, I'm happy to make time to discuss further (maybe a doc team agenda item?) or answer questions about what we use later [22:27] * pleia2 needs to go do Sunday things now :) [22:28] yes of course [22:28] I'll come to that meeting if I can [22:28] pleia2: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6zAAODZFwQ2SGJCQ1YxRE1IaUU/view?usp=sharing [22:28] opps [22:28] pleia2: http://imgur.com/PNm0oRX [22:29] also http://imgur.com/QbyFBVZ [22:29] and I'll let you go lol [23:09] ahoneybun: i already proposed we move the ubuntu server guide to RST (or some variation like Git RST/markdown) but no one wants to help so it's not going to get done. and just the server guide is quite a task, even with using a conversion tool (such as pandoc) [23:10] pmatulis: maybe if one project does and the others see the benefits [23:10] it could convice them [23:11] ahoneybun: i did some tests and all links, in all documents break, in addition to the fancy docbook references to internal pages/sections of the guide [23:11] yea you would have to redo it all within the language [23:12] ahoneybun: hint, start with the server guide, it's a more compact project and it does not have the constraints of the desktop docs (it's not a package) [23:12] pmatulis: I started moving the kubuntu docs by hand and it looks pretty darn nice in RST [23:13] but gsliva makes a point that having one language would stop others to help since they might use another language like TeX [23:16] ahoneybun: if you *really* want to help convert the server guide to non-XML (Git Markdown; my preference) then join the doc team (if not already) and come to our next meeting (first tuesday of every month) [23:16] ahoneybun: and this is what i did a while ago: https://github.com/petermatulis/serverguide [23:17] see that look so pretty to me [23:17] that is RTS though [23:18] so the next meeting is June 2nd pmatulis?
