| <AlinuxOS> hello | |
| <AlinuxOS> I've recived a message for ubuntu-ge Georgian mailing list setup howto | |
| <AlinuxOS> in benvenue message I've wrote message in unicode ქართული (with georgian letters) | |
| <AlinuxOS> but members recieve messages in: | |
| <AlinuxOS> კეთილი იყოს თქვენი მობრძანება უბუნტუს ქართველ მომხ | |
| <AlinuxOS> in this format. | |
| <AlinuxOS> what can I do to fix that ? | |
| <Seveas> Burgundavia, pong | |
| <AlinuxOS> somone who can help me with mailing list ? | |
| <AlinuxOS> someone | |
| <Yann2> ping jono | |
| <Seveas> Burgwork, poke | |
| <Burgwork> Seveas: pong | |
| <Seveas> you pinged me earlier today | |
| <Seveas> 'sup? | |
| <Burgwork> right | |
| <Burgwork> that was before I slept, so I am having a hard time remembering | |
| <Seveas> hehe | |
| <mdke> Burgwork: it was about the automatix wiki page, we hoped Seveas could add some information about where/why using automatix might cause problems | |
| <Seveas> no | |
| <mdke> Seveas: can you recommend someone else who is maybe more familiar with the problems automatix might cause? | |
| <jenda> I'd recommend nalioth | |
| <jenda> I'm not sure if his info is up-to-date, though. | |
| <mdke> it doesn't have to be extremely technical, just something that informs the user reading the guide, since whoever wrote the guide has not included anything like that | |
| <jenda> mdke: I think nalioth is one of the most flaming critics of aut'x, or was a few months ago. | |
| <mdke> flaming criticism doesn't sound appropriate. More just some examples of problems that might be caused. | |
| <mdke> but thanks, jenda | |
| <jenda> that's not really what I meant, hehe | |
| <JanC> fro mwhat I hear (but didn't test it) automatix2 is a bit less insane than automatix ;) | |
| <Burgwork> JanC: the issue is that is still duplicates a huge amount from add/remove | |
| <JanC> of course | |
| <JanC> it just seems like people want those "common cases" grouped in one window or something... | |
| <JanC> maybe add/remove should grow something like that? | |
| <JanC> some sort of a "wizard"? ;-) | |
| <Burgwork> JanC: umm.... | |
| <Burgwork> what is simpler than open and type into the search bar? | |
| <JanC> Burgwork: without knowing what to search for, what use is a search bar? ;-) | |
| <JanC> and yes, *I* know that all this is explained in the manual, but "nobody" reads it... | |
| <Burgwork> actually, the search is pretty easy | |
| <JanC> it's easy, but just doesn't work for what people search for :) | |
| <mdke> you should file a bug if you find a search term that doesn't work | |
| <JanC> I just tried 10 search terms and none worked ;) | |
| <mdke> you should file a bug if you find a search term that doesn't work | |
| <JanC> I'm not going to file 100s of bugs... | |
| <mdke> how about filing one bug? | |
| <JanC> I rather think something is wrong/missing | |
| <mdke> that's what bugs are for | |
| <mdke> right? | |
| <JanC> so if I file a bug it won't be about missing keywords (there are tens of thousands of them) | |
| <JanC> and they aren't translated either | |
| <mdke> well, it will. At any rate, I'd be impressed if you find tens of thousands of keywords | |
| <mdke> (obviously, the keyword needs to be in a package description to be capable of being found) | |
| <JanC> package descriptions are an overview of what the package does | |
| <JanC> not a description of all possible use cases | |
| * mdke gives up | |
| <JanC> mdke: to give you one example, have you any idea how many file formats, codecs and variations & synonyms thereof the ffmpeg library supports? | |
| <JanC> you don't want to list them all in the package description, or it would become 5 pages long or something like that | |
| <JanC> and you would have to include that list for every package that includes or links to it | |
| <JanC> thats insane | |
| <jenda> The Czech LoCo Team has it's first meeting on Wednesday! :) | |
| <jenda> (After about a year of existence in cyberspace) | |
| <JanC> bravo! | |
| <JanC> I think you mean IRL meeting? :) | |
| <mhz> Hi all | |
| <mhz> is Marilieze still the person to request the letter for loco-Customs? | |
| <mruiz> hi mhz | |
| <mhz> mruiz: :) | |
| <mdke> mhz: have a look at the faq, it should be in there | |
| <mhz> mdke: duh!, yeah, sorry...forgot about faq's and instead I used Google :) | |
| <mdke> not a fan of faq's myself | |
| <mhz> hehhe | |
| <mhz> and BTW...the faq link is almost lost on the footer | |
| <mhz> it is pretty sure more people will miss it | |
| <mdke> shipit footer? | |
| <mhz> yeah, page footer | |
| <mdke> you could file a bug: shipit has a product in launchpad for bugs, if it's a general website thing, use ubuntu-website | |
| <mhz> okidokis | |
| * mhz always considers bugs are not same as 'suggestions' |
