11:25.13 sofat starseeker, hello
11:26.54 sofat I am working on brlcad release notes doc(doc/html/releasenotes/). My question is, which format I will use for these docs means its article or book.
11:30.05 starseeker sofat: you don't want to convert those to docbook
11:30.14 starseeker those are just historical records
11:30.51 starseeker sofat: I'd suggest working on any of the *.tr files in doc
11:31.33 starseeker sofat: other good candidates are the burst docs in doc/burst and the tex document in doc/mged
11:33.23 starseeker for the html in the doc folder, you want to look at the stuff in html/manuals
11:33.33 sofat ok
11:33.59 starseeker don't worry about the .txt files either - most of those are quick notes of one sort or another rather than all-up documents
11:34.55 sofat okay, and please tell the updates regarding libbu and libdm and librt docs
11:34.56 starseeker a lot of them will most likely migrate somewhere else eventually, or in a copule of cases are deliberately text in order to serve as "lowest common denominator" points of entry
11:35.21 sofat okay
11:35.47 starseeker sofat: I'm not immediately sure what to do about the libbu/libdm/librt docs - they need to be turned into "proper" man pages, but that's most likely going to involve a virtual rewrite
11:37.01 sofat okay so no problem i will start the work on tex, burst, tr docs
11:37.30 starseeker sofat: sounds good! Remember, try to work in a current trunk checkout, and use svn diff to make your patch files
11:38.02 sofat oka, i have one question
11:38.06 sofat okay
11:39.01 starseeker what was your question?
11:39.49 sofat when i make patch first time and submitted it. and second when i make new patch then they patch hold the old + new updates means they hold the old information of first patch and second patch new information. so i want to make new patch without including the old patch data.
11:40.40 starseeker sofat: once you get a couple of "clean" patches, you'll be able to get commit access and that problem will go away
11:40.41 sofat how i do this?
11:41.02 sofat okay
11:41.15 starseeker sofat: so try to make each submitted patch as "clean" as possible - I'll try to review them each night
11:41.31 sofat okay thanks
11:41.53 starseeker sofat: it's not necessary to have a fully converted document on a per-patch basis - a partial conversion that is a valid docbook document is fine
11:42.12 starseeker it should apply and build cleanly, but it can be a "work in progress" as far as converting the content itself
11:42.39 sofat okay
11:44.22 starseeker sofat: remember the GSoC checklist #18 for BRL-CAD: http://brlcad.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code/Checklist
11:45.18 starseeker the measure of merit at this stage is not how much documentation was converted, but the quality of the patch
11:45.29 starseeker ok, gotta run
11:46.29 sofat one question more
11:46.58 starseeker ok
11:47.03 sofat in burst which docs needs to convert .
11:47.04 sofat .mm or .tbl
11:47.17 starseeker uh... context?
11:48.00 starseeker are you talking about the burst docs?
11:48.33 sofat hmm
11:48.48 starseeker sofat: you might try the run_doclifter.sh script
11:49.00 starseeker that could give you a reasonable starting point
11:49.18 starseeker (you'll need to install doclifter)
11:50.39 starseeker sofat: I'm not terribly familiar with the burst setup - you'll need to explore it a bit
11:50.45 starseeker that's part of the job
11:51.15 starseeker spends a lot of his time learning existing systems/code - it's an important skill in computing today
11:53.39 teepee-- agrees very much :)
11:54.12 teepee-- somehow it seems with all languages, one starts with reading it. except for computer languages where everybody only is interrested in writing
