[02:14] <AndrewTheArt> Hey guys, I'd love to join the documentation team - how do I start? [02:16] <AndrewTheArt> Hey guys, I'd love to join the documentation team - how do I start? [02:18] <kgoetz> AndrewTheArt: hang around, its quit posable no ones around atm [02:18] <AndrewTheArt> OK, I'll hang here [02:19] <AndrewTheArt> thanks [02:19] <kgoetz> np. welcome in :) [02:22] <AndrewTheArt> brb actually [02:22] <AndrewTheArt> nvm [02:25] <sommer> AndrewTheArt: the best place to start with the Doc Team wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam [02:25] <sommer> hey kgoetz [02:26] <AndrewTheArt> which in turn tells me to go here [02:26] <AndrewTheArt> I probably misread it [02:26] <sommer> heh, there's also the doc mailing list [02:27] <kgoetz> sommer: hey mate [02:27] <kgoetz> this channel varies quite a lot in livelyness depending on the time of day [02:27] <sommer> join the mentoring program, also the Getting Started Page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/GettingStarted [02:28] <sommer> heh, ya my experience is that's it's usually pretty quite [02:50] <ubotu> New bug: #213711 in ubuntu-doc "Typo in 8.04 Beta release notes" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/213711 [12:25] <ubotu> New bug: #213889 in ubuntu-docs (main) "Missing laptop_mode documentation" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/213889 [18:00] <sommer> hey all, has there been any thought of the doc team doing a session at open week? [18:34] <LaserJock> sommer: we did one I remember for the first open week, not sure about last time [18:43] <sommer> ah, I don't remember seeing one last time. [18:43] <sommer> just wondering since it seems there a lot of new mentees lately :-) [18:43] <LaserJock> yeah, but we have to have somebody to run it [18:44] <LaserJock> and really if we have mentees maybe we don't need open week so much? [18:44] <sommer> heh, that has some logic to it [18:47] <LaserJock> I doubt anybody in the doc team would object to a session, but I'm not sure if we really need it as bad as other teams [22:56] <awen_> anyone know if it is too late for adding a new translational string? ... just came across a string that wasn't marked for translation [22:57] <crimsun> mdke: ^ [22:58] <crimsun> awen_: I don't think it's too late, since you're referring to a KDE app, yes? [22:59] <awen_> crimsun: kde-app, yes. guidance-power-manager to be exact [23:00] <crimsun> awen_: I'd hang around for either mdke or LaserJock. (See also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationStringFreeze and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NonLanguagePackTranslationDeadline) [23:01] <LaserJock> I'm not really sure either [23:01] <crimsun> I don't think NonLanguagePackTranslationDeadline is applicable here, since we're not speaking of a menu entry [23:02] <LaserJock> what's the specific thing we're talking about? [23:02] <crimsun> 17:52 awen_ > ScottK: any reason why we are translating (i18n) "charging" but not "discharging" in g-p-m ... to late to fix that? [23:02] <awen_> crimsun: but it wouldn't be a regression ... if it isn't translated it will appear in english (as in the code) right? [23:02] <awen_> LaserJock: ^^ [23:02] <LaserJock> so that's in the g-p-m package right? [23:03] <crimsun> awen_: correct [23:03] <crimsun> LaserJock: correct [23:03] <LaserJock> seems like that would be a low-risk bug fix [23:05] <LaserJock> I wouldn't think there would be a freeze on that right now [23:05] <LaserJock> you aren't changing the documentation [23:05] <awen_> i don't really know how the black magic works ... from using the i18n-function in python to the translation file [23:05] <LaserJock> just making it available for translation [23:05] <awen_> LaserJock: not in any way ... just adding i18n around a string [23:05] <crimsun> (I guess technically it's the kde-guidance source) [23:05] <awen_> crimsun: yeah [23:06] <LaserJock> I certainly don't see anything wrong with fixing that [23:07] <LaserJock> and you might want to email the ubuntu-translators list once the .pot has been imported to help get that string as well translated as possible [23:07] <awen_> LaserJock: okay... i'll go ahead then [23:07] <LaserJock> I think the relavent freeze here is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LanguagePackTranslationDeadline [23:07] <LaserJock> crimsun: would you agree? [23:08] <LaserJock> which is the 17th [23:08] <crimsun> LaserJock: that's what I would think [23:09] <awen_> okay ... so no the translation teem should be aware of last minute changes like this, eg. no need to email them? [23:10] <LaserJock> I would email them just to make sure [23:10] <LaserJock> doesn't hurt to give them a "heads up" [23:10] <awen_> LaserJock: okay ... ubuntu-translation@l.u.c ? [23:25] <LaserJock> awen_: I think it's ubuntu-translators [23:25] <LaserJock> but you can check lists.ubuntu.com to make sure [23:27] <awen_> LaserJock: you were correct ... thanks for taking your time [23:29] <LaserJock> no problem, thanks for looking into the issue |
