Seems like you need to be sparks or stickster to do that 23:08:07 Neither of whom is available 23:08:26 sparks is buried with work stuff and stickster is onna plane 23:08:48 stickster is a snake?! 23:09:05 Evidently, he's threatening to leave us 23:09:28 OK, I'll follow up with something 23:09:40 Anything else on release notes? 23:10:12 #action jjmcd to track down next actions on beta rpm and someone who can do them 23:10:32 #topic Guide Status 23:10:38 OK Guides 23:10:47 Emad78, you had some progress today? 23:11:13 Yes I did. Got the long email of gripes done on the user-guide 23:11:32 Yay emad78! 23:11:37 Very cool. Did you leave laubersm anything to do? 23:11:56 Nope 23:12:01 cool beans 23:12:25 But there were a couple things I don't know about yet that we can figure out later. Nothing major. Like I said in the email. 23:12:45 Yes, perhaps we can chat in the channel after the meeting 23:12:52 Yes 23:13:08 Does anyone else have anything with guides? 23:13:33 Yeah 23:13:49 We need to start looking towards freezing for L10N ASAP 23:14:12 Good thinking. Isn't User Guide #1 on that list? 23:14:13 On Monday, L10N will have six weeks to translate the entire documentation suite 23:14:27 Install guide :) 23:14:32 ahhhhh 23:14:38 I've been talking to Noriko 23:15:00 * jjmcd has to blog on L10N's awseomeness on the release notes 23:15:09 And said we would try to start branching stuff during the course of next week 23:15:32 yeah -- one of the upshots of the teams who've finished the RN is that they're now waiting on content from us... 23:15:56 #info We will start branching guides for L10N next week, some teams already done with RN so looking for work 23:16:05 So.... UG will be high on that list too 23:16:37 So there's no lack of things to do the next few weeks 23:17:08 One other thing... is there someone here who would like to take the helm of the "live images" doc? 23:17:15 On that subject, does someone want to raise their hand to shepherd the Live Images guide? 23:17:21 snap! :) 23:17:48 It needs an owner, and it is a relatively simple guide, so a great opportunity for a new contributor looking to have his name on something 23:18:26 bcotton already has the rpm guide. nathant ?? 23:18:51 I could try it out. I'm willing to give it a shot. Maybe?? 23:19:07 i've just had a quick look, looks like something i could handle! 23:19:11 Thanks emad78 :) 23:19:21 Oops, slow typing 23:19:23 nathant might want it also. 23:19:28 :-) 23:19:30 Fight! 23:19:45 are there any open bugs on it 23:19:46 Well, I picked on him because you just did a buncha work on the UG 23:20:00 Is the current UG state F12 or F13? 23:20:04 err... emad78 has also done a bunch of work on the UG.... 23:20:05 nathant can give it a go. I was going to go for it since I didn't see someone respond. 23:20:20 Yeah maybe nathant can have that one. 23:20:20 OK -- nathant -- let's talk after the meeting 23:20:33 ok - thanks Emad78 :) 23:20:40 Good deal, we'll get his name in lights and on the commit list 23:20:52 #action nathant to take the Live Images guide 23:21:33 We have a number of other guides that probably need owners but I've been waiting for sparks to contact the current owners 23:21:46 Some of those folks have gone missing 23:21:55 Don't know how temporary that is 23:22:10 Anything else on guides? 23:22:12 Yeah; at least we need people to steer them through the F13 portal 23:22:21 jjmcd -- one more Q on RN 23:22:26 yo 23:22:27 (sorry, out of sequence) 23:22:57 How are we going on those couple of beats that didn't make it into the first batch that we dropped to L10N? 23:23:22 Haven't looked at them, that was the next thing after the rpm 23:23:36 Cool :) I'll get back in line :) 23:23:54 OK, anything else on guides? 23:24:17 #topic Outstanding BZ tickets 23:24:29 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&classification=Fedora&product=Fedora%20Documentation&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED 23:24:46 Anyone have any issues with outstanding tickets? 23:25:27 #topic All other business 23:25:44 Let me make a couple of comments, DHS mixed in with RN 23:26:00 The F13 beta RNs use html instead of yelp 23:26:34 The F13 beta does have conditional code for non-javascript browsers, which hasn't previously seen the light of day 23:26:44 HOWEVER 23:27:15 Yelp 3.0 is having it's library footprint greatly reduced in order to be more acceptible to other desktops like KDE 23:27:45 Furthermore, shaunm is looking at including the KDE help directories in places where yelp searches 23:28:19 And even cooler, the KDE developers seem amenable to using yelp (3.0 is quite different) in place of khelpcenter 23:28:36 Evidently, khelpcenter is in need of maintenance 23:28:47 So some good things came out of last weekend 23:29:51 Since yelp 3.0 will be released with GNOME 3.0, and "point oh means something", it isn't clear yelp 3.0 will be in F14 23:30:05 Any questions RN or DHS? 23:30:34 jjmcd -- so if we're using HTML, we can probably consolidate the two Revision Histories :) 23:30:44 yes 23:30:53 I totally missed that detail, thanks rudi 23:30:56 Cool; I'll make it happen :) 23:31:27 You know, I saw that othe revision history and wondered why it was there -- totally forgot! 23:31:38 Yeah ;) 23:32:06 rudi, the F13 beta had Jeff Fearne's javascript (fixed), and a rather ugly but working noscript 23:32:52 OK, anything else to come before this august body? 23:33:16 quaid made a suggestion on the list about task tracking 23:33:37 As I recall a lot of the newbies were in favour :) 23:33:50 Oh yeah, I scanned that but was in the middle of beats and getting ready for DHS so didn't really digest it 23:34:31 We do have poelcat's project plan, but no indication there who is lined up to do the work or how hard it is 23:34:45 quaid, any comments? 23:35:21 And also poelcat's plan is pretty general - as this is my first release cycle, I found it hard to understand 23:35:40 nathant -- yeah, we've got a way to go with that 23:35:46 Still refining 23:35:49 nathant, this is like my fourth or fifth and I worked on the plan and I found it hard to understand 23:36:01 jjmcd: :) 23:36:36 I finally put the key items on a calendar on my desk and just do it :-) 23:37:27 jjmcd: that's fine if you have a clue what the task is and what you need to do! 23:37:39 * jjmcd needs to read that thread in a little more relaxed atmosphere than standing in the snow reading my cell phone 23:37:43 YEs 23:37:49 +1 23:38:03 I think understanding what needs done is hard any time, but especially when you are just starting 23:38:08 Yeah, this is definitely soemthing we can do better at 23:38:11 Speaking of which ...... 23:38:23 We need to start building guides regularly 23:38:40 I promised ke4qqq I'd put up some instructions for doing that 23:39:03 But I need a few minutes with ricky to discuss some of the setup details 23:39:08 jjmcd -- which will be fine... as soon as we have some guides to build ;) 23:39:13 Yah 23:39:30 jjmcd -- can we also talk about getting some space other than yours and mine Fedorapeople pages? 23:39:44 But I tell you what, without the merges and with publican 1.0, 6 hours went down to 20 minutes 23:39:53 Yes, ricky has set something up already 23:39:58 Oh really? Aweseom 23:40:04 I just need to get the details from him 23:40:24 I like I said on docs-list, I'm also keen to see if we can use the new Publican web-publishing feature for this 23:40:33 #info The infrastructure guys are awesome too 23:40:44 Oh yeah, that would be cool 23:41:09 Yeah, from build --> web in a couple of commands... 23:41:12 I'm still waiting for the repo for the tech guide tho 23:41:53 OK, anything else? 23:42:46 And besides that, anything else? 23:43:15 OK guys, thanks for coming 23:43:35 Thanks for taking the helm! 23:43:36 Emad78, grab a cup of coffee so I have time to grab the logs and we'll meet in docs 23:43:46 Have a great week everyone 23:43:53 Ok 23:43:55 nathant -- will you be around for a few minutes now? 23:44:00 yup 23:44:11 #endmeeting
