I have familiarized myself a bit with svn and Docbook does not really pose a problem, it's very similar to XHTML. However, I figured it would be better for me to work on Feisty documentation when I actually *have* Feisty :P I plan to upgrade as soon as I can burn it onto a CD, which will probably be tomorrow-evening. This weekend I'll be at my father's place, so there won't be much I can do then, but hopefully after the weekend. If I'm not too busy with the other 3 projects I've got running at the moment... <div>On 28/02/07, Luzius Thöny <<a href="mailto:lucius.antonius@gmail.com">lucius.antonius@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> On 2/28/07, Jim Campbell <<a href="mailto:jwcampbell@gmail.com">jwcampbell@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > During the last Xubuntu IRC meeting, I chatted with Cody Somerville some > about Xubuntu docs.  We had thought that it would be a good idea for me to > file a bunch of bug reports, and then to get a big group of people together > for a doc-sprint where we would make all of the corrections, write > additional documentation, etc.  We said that we'd do this when he was out of > the hospital. > > Unfortunately, I think Cody is still unavailable.  I hope he's ok.  However, > we still need to make sure that Xubuntu docs are still on track for the > Feisty release. > > I'm not sure what all needs to be done, but I thought I would bring up this > topic here.  Is there anyone else besides Cody who has SVN commit rights? > Is there anyone else who's good with docbook xml?  Why does it still say > "Welcome to Xubuntu 6.06" when you load up Firefox in one of the recent > Xubuntu nightlies?  :-) > > I can help write documentation, but do not know docbook xml at this time. > (maybe for 7.10 . . . ).  Is there anyone else who might be available to > help out? > thanks for bringing it up. i have commit rights, and i know docbook, but as said before, i don't have the time to actually do doc work at the moment. the reason it still says "welcome to 6.06" ist because no current snapshot of the documentation has been uploaded yet to feisty. none was uploaded to edgy, either. jani, meant to do it for edgy, i think, but then we were too late. there *has* been some work done on the documentation since dapper, though, and you can always check out the 'nightly build' of the documentation here: <a href="http://doc.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/"> http://doc.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/</a> so if you have any bugs to report, please report against the version at the above URL, not the version currently shipped with feisty. a doc-sprint sounds like a good idea, so please go ahead and send any patches you come up with to the ubuntu-doc ML, or start a wiki page where you list the changes / issues. @Adam: drafting ideas out in the wiki is a good idea. in fact, much stuff in the ubuntu / xubuntu guides started out in the wiki. however, you should keep in mind that there is no way to make the wiki>docbook conversion automatically - it's all done manually, which is neither very efficient nor very much fun :( > Jim > luzi -- xubuntu-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com">xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel </a> </blockquote></div> -- Vincent
