      Ouch, it’s the massive updates that put me off testing Lucid. Hope your bandwidth is up to it :-)

    I’m sure we have a word or two to say about localised versions of some packages and ZA-language spell checkers, etc. :)

  • Alastair Otter posted on the forum topic Installation guides in the group How To:   4 months, 4 weeks ago · View

    I think there should definitely be a section on setting up local-infrastructure connections. Most of the content could be generic and then add in sections for SA-specific things. Perhaps a small section from Translate.org.za? :-)

    Are you planning to keep it as general as possible, or would there be some focus on South Africa? If there is a South African focus I would suggest adding instructions for common setup tasks such as internet via Vodacom/MTN/whatever 3G.

    @morgan and @zerlgi have suggested creating distribution specific installation guides to help new users get up and running. The one suggestion has been that the guides should have two parts: a) initial install and b) addons like flash, mp3, etc. Makes sense to me. Any other ideas?

    There is a problem with the blogs. Since the switchover to the new software they are now showing up. I apologise for that and I am looking into it. If you want to post in the main OpenZA blog in the interim please feel free and let me know if you need help.

    @morgan I’m keen to put up guides on the OpenZA site. I don’t have a lot of time to do it all myself but if you’re keen to collaborate I’m in. Anyone else?

    Apple sues HTC over patents: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-10462116-94.html?tag=nl.e703
    Sounds like Apple might be getting a little nervous of Android’s success.

    Morgan,

    So far this week it seems to be working relatively well. Last week it was barely usable. It’s a pain and until it’s reliable I am going to have to stick with Dropbox. Much as I would like to use UbuntuOne.
