Good day! I took about three hours today and made a first pass through the Ubuntu Desktop chapter of precise-e2.
*What command do I use to push these changes to the e2 branch without interfering with the main, 12.10 branch.* I used Kevin's feedback from Matt Thomas at Canonical as the "key" for the names of the desktop elements. Of course...questions have arisen: 1. *"Dash" or "the Dash"? * 2. *"Launcher" or "the Launcher"? * I also recommend we add "titlebar" to the style guide (similar to what was done for "toolbar"). Finally, this chapter describes the Nautilus file manager, but most of the commands and features have changed in 12.04, and what is contained in this chapter regarding Nautilus is not correct. When I use Dash to search for 'nautilus', the home folder and files folder appear (so it seems like the Nautilus engine is there) and when I click on either icon, I get a dramatically different interface than was I've seen with Nautilus in previous Ubuntu releases. So I think that while the functionality is still there, the UI for what we are calling "Nautilus" has dramatically changed. Does this make sense? If so, about a 100 lines will need to be rewritten in this chapter...UGH! I can't get to it until next week (unless someone else wants to take it on!) *Does the "Nautilus" section need a rewrite? Should we use the term "Nautilus" at all? Does a rewrite even make sense--can't the Nautilus section just be deleted?* Thanks. --Jim
