[22:21] <ahoneybun> pleia2: its clear its not a over night thing true but I don;t think the benefits could be over looked
[22:21] <pleia2> context: ahoneybun proposing that all documentation teams move to RST
[22:21] <pleia2> ahoneybun: I definitely see benefits :)
[22:22] <pleia2> it's just a lot of work
[22:22] <ahoneybun> plus I;m maining talking about online docs not deskop atm
[22:22] <ahoneybun> *mainly
[22:22] <ahoneybun> *desktop
[22:22] <pleia2> the desktop documents are online
[22:23] <pleia2> just like xubuntu docs, ubuntu desktop docs are built and the output is published online
[22:23] <ahoneybun> I see
[22:23] <pleia2> the help.ubuntu.com/community/ wiki is supplimental to that
[22:23] <ahoneybun> 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] <ahoneybun> I saw that
[22:24] <pleia2> not really, I assume the RST files would still reside in bzr?
[22:25] <pleia2> 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] <ahoneybun> you should be able to host them on LP
[22:25] <ahoneybun> the core things really
[22:25] <ahoneybun> pleia2: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6zAAODZFwQ2SGJCQ1YxRE1IaUU/view?usp=sharing
[22:25] <pleia2> the core things are already in the desktop documentation
[22:27] <pleia2> 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] <ahoneybun> yes of course
[22:28] <ahoneybun> I'll come to that meeting if I can

[22:29] <ahoneybun> also http://imgur.com/QbyFBVZ
[22:29] <ahoneybun> and I'll let you go lol
[23:09] <pmatulis> 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] <ahoneybun> pmatulis: maybe if one project does and the others see the benefits
[23:10] <ahoneybun> it could convice them
[23:11] <pmatulis> 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] <ahoneybun> yea you would have to redo it all within the language
[23:12] <pmatulis> 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] <ahoneybun> pmatulis: I started moving the kubuntu docs by hand and it looks pretty darn nice in RST
[23:13] <ahoneybun> but gsliva makes a point that having one language would stop others to help since they might use another language like TeX
[23:16] <pmatulis> 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] <pmatulis> ahoneybun: and this is what i did a while ago: https://github.com/petermatulis/serverguide
[23:17] <ahoneybun> see that look so pretty to me
[23:17] <ahoneybun> that is RTS though
[23:18] <ahoneybun> so the next meeting is June 2nd pmatulis?
