Mallard isn't currently part of our tools and may not be something appropriate for potential new contributors to the team. I'm wondering whether introducing them to two document formats might be a bit off-putting at the stage that we are talking about. It's not something currently necessary to contribute to the docteam so would it be relevant? It occurred to me that a talk on Mallard might be something more useful for existing contributors to the docteam, so that we can think more about whether/when to switch and can prepare for doing so if we decide to. I'm not totally against it but would like to explore these points a bit further. Let me know what you think. -- Matthew East <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mdke.org">http://www.mdke.org</a> gnupg pub 1024D/0E6B06FF -- ubuntu-doc mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:ubuntu-doc@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-doc@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-doc">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-doc</a> </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap="">Would switching the Ubuntu docs to mallard be something that the group would want to consider for the 10.04 release? Or, given that there is more of an emphasis on stability for this release . . . do you think we'll just wait for 10.10? ( . . . I am just realizing... 10.10... perfect 10!) ;-) If it is the former, then giving a talk on mallard would be most appropriate. If not . . . staying with docbook in the Open Week talk would make sense. This is certainly something that we need to discuss, though. </pre> </blockquote> +1 Jim - is there any timeline for the GNOME switchover to Mallard? or have they already started implementing? I think it's also definitely worth some talk and blueprints for UDS as well. If the toolchain is going to shift, a transition plan would be worthwhile. cheers, Dinda <blockquote cite="mid:cc5454020909252047k5fc7298emd3ffe556a8fc3d98@mail.gmail.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Jim </pre> </blockquote> <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">Training Project Manager Canonical <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:belinda.lopez@canonical.com">belinda.lopez@canonical.com</a> Mobile Phone: 832-741-6745 Home Office: 409-497-4346 IRC: dinda Office: Galveston, Texas -- Ubuntu - Linux for Human Beings <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ubuntu.com">http://www.ubuntu.com</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.canonical.com">http://www.canonical.com</a> ------------------- </pre> </body> </html>
