| [08:56] <duncan-nz> anyone watching? | |
| [08:57] <coolbhavi> yes | |
| [08:58] <duncan-nz> could you review a wiki page a bit for me? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundVideoDefault | |
| [08:58] <duncan-nz> just some feedback. | |
| [09:00] <coolbhavi> You can add a link to restricted formats in case of extra codecs installation I think | |
| [09:01] <coolbhavi> for newbies it ll be more comprehensive also I think | |
| [09:02] <duncan-nz> You don't think that Hardy handles this without needing explanation? I suppose we could add a link under 'see also'. Do you have a link handy? Preferably from the official docs. | |
| [09:03] <coolbhavi> yes but a lot of questions are there in LP in hardy multimedia | |
| [09:03] <duncan-nz> LP? | |
| [09:03] <coolbhavi> launchpad | |
| [09:04] <duncan-nz> I suppose many people are just not used to dealing with codecs. Do you have a link? | |
| [09:04] <coolbhavi> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats | |
| [09:08] <duncan-nz> I think I'd go for the two official pages linked from there. https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/musicvideophotos/C/codecs.html and https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/musicvideophotos/C/video.html#video-badformats ok? | |
| [09:08] <duncan-nz> Do you feel like adding those links, I'm dashing around the wiki like a madman just now. | |
| [09:08] <duncan-nz> ? | |
| [09:12] <coolbhavi> yes just edit the totem part and add https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html#video-badformats as playing proprietary formats | |
| [09:13] <duncan-nz> ok | |
| [09:13] <duncan-nz> thanks | |
| [09:14] <coolbhavi> and dont forget to edit rythmbox and sound recorder mate...:) Nice work...:) | |
| [09:17] <duncan-nz> .. don't have time, I'm just trying to set the layout so that when there is time people will do it consistently. | |
| [09:17] <duncan-nz> What do you think of the whole 'Applications Guide' from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Applications | |
| [09:17] <duncan-nz> ? | |
| [09:22] <coolbhavi> Looks fine to me | |
| [09:23] <coolbhavi> recommended apps need updating | |
| [09:33] <coolbhavi> like for mp3 podcats and ipod mounting amarok is the favourite of many I think | |
| [09:51] <duncan-nz> lots of things need updating, that's not what I'm tring to achieve. I'm trying to establish a structure so people can find things in the same (hopefully logical) way that the Main Menu works. Of course you're right though. | |
| [10:23] <duncan-nz> anyone watching? | |
| [10:23] <duncan-nz> wiki question comming | |
| [19:44] <Hellow> hello | |
| [19:45] <Hellow> I wish to create a page in the troubleshooting area on how to get help when none of the other pages work | |
| [19:46] <Hellow> unless that has already been done | |
| [19:47] <Hellow> how should i go about doing it? | |
| [19:52] <Flannel> Hellow: what do you mean? | |
| [19:53] <Hellow> Old_Soldier is helping me | |
| [19:54] <Old_Soldier> Flannel he's talking about wiki pages , i'll walk him through making sure he doesn't duplicate effort | |
| [19:55] <Flannel> Old_Soldier: No, I know. Just wasn't sure what sort of "how do I do it" help he was asking (creating the page, creating the content, something else, etc) | |
| [19:56] <Hellow> i found a page on my topic, and i added onto it | |
| [19:56] <duncan-nz> I'm not working on it at the moment but since some people are watching I'd like to draw attention to a project I'm trying to start on the wiki. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Applications/ProjectHome | |
| [19:57] <Alan_M> Flannel I got confused myself, we were trying to make a team effort on it and i was just like stumped :) | |
| [19:57] <duncan-nz> Hellow, but are there useful links to it in useful places? | |
| [19:58] <Hellow> i was suggesting making a "How to get additional help" sort of page in troubleshooting in the community docs, but i found a very similar page on the front page, so i added how to get help via irc | |
| [19:59] <Hellow> front page of the community docs | |
| [19:59] <Hellow> nice idea duncan-nz, and i would like to help | |
| [20:00] <duncan-nz> great, just add a link to your userpage and subscribe to the page and say what you think. | |
| [20:03] <Hellow> hmm, i have not created a userpage on the docs yet, can i just link to my wiki? | |
| [20:03] <Hellow> my wiki is the most descriptive page about me | |
| [20:05] <duncan-nz> but you have a user name, use that | |
| [20:06] <duncan-nz> if it's not a wikiWord put it in square brackets | |
| [20:06] <Hellow> right now i am working on going through the pages and cleaning up a few mistakes i found | |
| [20:07] <duncan-nz> um, okay, cool | |
| [20:07] <Hellow> like Tee Wars is not teewars anymore, the name was copyrighted by someone else, so they are Teeworlds now | |
| [20:07] <duncan-nz> ok | |
| [20:08] <Hellow> how do i make my name a link? | |
| [20:12] <Hellow> o, and i am adding a ToC to the front page | |
| [20:25] <Hellow> how do i add a new page to the community docs? | |
| [20:25] <Hellow> i want to do it for duncan | |
| [20:26] <duncan-nz> a new page where, on the wiki? | |
| [20:27] <Hellow> yea | |
| [20:27] <Hellow> for discussion | |
| [20:27] <duncan-nz> Just type a WikiWord and then follow that link. But if you're quite new to the wiki it might be best if you stick to editing existing pages for a while. It's easy to accidentally duplicate effort. | |
| [20:29] <duncan-nz> in this case you might type OpenDiscussion, preview the page, if it's right then save. Then follow the link. | |
