<Rocket2DMn> OK guys, BT Wiki Focus Group meeting time, being held here, since we are really part of the doc team
<Rocket2DMn> Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/FocusGroups/Wiki
<Rocket2DMn> I'm gonna keep this really short
<Rocket2DMn> Now that Jaunty has been released and schedules are starting to open up, we will start the Summer of Documentation
<Rocket2DMn> Last year we focused specifically on the wiki, but this year we will expand into all documentaiton, including system docs
<Rocket2DMn> you can see last year's notes here - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/FocusGroups/Wiki/SoD2008
<Rocket2DMn> For the wiki, we will focus on getting docs updated for Jaunty
<Rocket2DMn> we will also work on implementing and using the Tag system
<Rocket2DMn> also see here for the doc team's list of tasks - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Wiki/Tasks
<Rocket2DMn> The doc team recently reorganized their structure, so the open team is now here - https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-doc-contributors
<Rocket2DMn> we dont use DocuMENTORS anymore
<Rocket2DMn> that team there is for anybody contributing to documentation, so if you're not on it, you should join it
<Rocket2DMn> any questions so far?
<Rocket2DMn> nothing?
<Rocket2DMn> has everybody here used the wiki?
<Rocket2DMn> I feel like I'm talking to myself
<ds305> We're listening.
<Rocket2DMn> Ok, anybody who currently isn't should join the doc-team mailing list - https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-doc
<TuxPurple> lagging
<Rocket2DMn> Even just listening in on it will give you a good idea about what is going on the with the doc team, this is esp. useful to those interested in system docs
<Rocket2DMn> btw, the docteam homepage is here - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam
<Rocket2DMn> it is being restructured a little bit right now, but it is mostly complete
<Rocket2DMn> Does anybody have any questions about using the wiki? or how exactly to get involved with the docs?
<ds305> I have a procedural question.
<Rocket2DMn> go for it ds305
<ds305> I had to upload about 10 graphics for updating a wiki. Each I assume generated a message to somebody.
<ds305> Is there a way to upload multiples?
<Rocket2DMn> afaik, you need to upload them one at a time. If uploading attachments mails anybody, it is really limited
<Rocket2DMn> I wouldn't worry about it
* ds305 Will not worry.
<Rocket2DMn> However, if you are updating a wiki page, please use the PREVIEW button, not SUBMIT until you are finished with your changes. that is good wiki etiquitte
<Rocket2DMn> Please, ask any questions that you have, now is the best time
<Rocket2DMn> Ok...
<ds305> Is there an approved method for getting old graphics deleted?
<ds305> Sorry for the lag.
<ds305> Normal users don't have access to the delete function.
<nhandler> Rocket2DMn: Since I'll be eating dinner, I just wanted to let you know that I will be participating in the SOD, mainly with the system documentation
<Rocket2DMn> That is correct ds, you need to talk to somebody on this team - https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-doc-wiki-admins

<Rocket2DMn> Any other questions?

<Rocket2DMn> If there are no other questions, we are pretty much done
