I'm working on the Empathy Help to take into account the recent UI changes. (Milo already committed quite a few corrections. Thanks!) I want to give a heads-up about a few things I've come across:
* I'm adding an "Accounts Window" guide page, so there's something to point that Help button at. * From the "Accounts Window" page, I started doing details pages. For instance, there's a "Jabber Account Details" page, which is strictly for crazy advanced usage only. * Along those lines, I'm adding "IRC Account Details", which is the craziest, because it's the only one where the basic options aren't just login ID and password. * To that end, a lot of the detailed information about connecting to an IRC server ends up duplicated in this page. * That information is redundant with "Create an IRC account". I'm not sure this is a particularly good task. I don't really ever want to create an account for IRC. Heck, IRC "accounts" are purely an invention of IM programs doing IRC. I want to join an IRC chat. * So I propose we nuke that topic, and modify "Join a room" to direct you to create an account if you haven't already, directing you to "Add an account" and "IRC Account Details". * Talking to the Empathy developers, I'm told that the password for IRC accounts is a server password, not a nickserv password. That affects all the nick password stuff pretty drastically. Anyway, thanks again to Milo, who kicked some serious ass on this. I'm going to start pushing changes in order from least churn to most. Please weigh in. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ gnome-doc-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-doc-list
