Hello All,
I sent a note to Cody on the Xubuntu team a couple days ago regarding the
Xubuntu Docs situation / Lead position. I'm waiting on his initial thoughts.
Matt, Phil, Benjamin,
If you guys would like to discuss Xub docs further, let me know, as in the QA
team we're doing allot of work on Test-Cases, which integrates well with XUB
docs over all. There's allot of work to do on XUB docs, Wiki's, ubuntu-manual,
test-cases, all sorts. So no better time than the present as they say :-)

Sounds good to me. Would this be based on the existing ubuntu-docs, or
would it be a clean break? Also, someone else will have to take the lead
on this, I'm too busy with the GNOME docs I'm afraid :D
I don't have much of an idea about the sorts of topics netbook users are
likely to be interested in either. To get this off the ground, it might
be a good idea to have a topic brainstorming session on IRC.
Thanks,
Phil

Sorry for not using lp:xubuntu-docs. Attached the patch that I have
applied in the uploaded version. You might consider using
lp:ubuntu/xubuntu-docs / lp:ubuntu/series/xubuntu-docs instead of
lp:xubuntu-docs to avoid running in the same issue again.

I am not interesting in maintaining/contributing to this package. I did
the upload to get it off the ubuntu-sponsors list and fixed some low
hanging fruits.

Hi guys,
A few weeks ago I promised to run a session on the basics of XML and
writing Mallard documents. I'd forgotten that I ran such a session last
year, during an Open Week. You can find a full transcript here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Philbull/MallardIntro
There are a few examples and exercises that you can go through too
(linked from that page).
If you're interested in this, please let me know how you get on with it.
I can answer follow-up questions on IRC at some point if there's any
demand; just let me know and I'll arrange a convenient time.
Thanks,
Phil

I think it's probably best to report this as a bug and to attach your
fix to the bug report. That way, the problem can be fixed in future
versions of Ubuntu. You can report bugs here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug
If there's already a bug report for this, we can write a wiki page which
explains your script. Linking to your script from the bug is also a good
idea too.
Let me know if you need help with any of this.
Thanks,
Phil

We have started a wiki for independent sites and social networks, to avoid
common issues and help to deliver some consistency in all the sites. It's
in a very early stage so it needs everyone's contribution.

Dear all,
We haven't yet released any update to the Lucid documentation, which
was discussed on this thread earlier in the year.
I've now got around to uploading new pot templates to Launchpad with
the fixes to the bugs that we'd like to fix.
I'd like to invite the translators to go ahead and translate the new
strings. The changes are in two pot files:
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/ubuntu-docs/+pots/ubuntu-docs-musicvideophotos
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/ubuntu-docs/+pots/ubuntu-docs-serverguide
It looks like there are 10 new strings in musicvideophotos and 22 new
strings in serverguide. I'd suggest that we leave 4 weeks or so for
translations to be updated. That would mean aiming for a translation
export on or around 13 September 2010 and an upload to lucid-proposed
shortly after that. The updated translations would then be available
in the next language pack update thereafter.
Let me know if you envisage any problems with this. If a shorter time
can be achieved for translations, please let me know.
Of course translators can also add any other translations which they
would like to any ubuntu-docs templates: i.e. if a particular template
is incomplete in your language, please go ahead and complete it and
the new translations will also be imported.

Welcome! As far as I'm aware, nothing has been proofread yet this
release cycle, so thanks for volunteering! The two highest-priority
sections are "Music, Video and Photos" and "Internet and Networks" (as
seen in System -> Help and Support). Do you fancy having a go at either
one of those?
Please let me know if I can help you to get started in any way.
Thanks,
Phil
