| [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 | |

| [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 | |
