About
This page started October 31, 2011 by Michael Kaulbach for the purpose of working on the cleanup of Ubottu's factoids as mentioned in part by a request in the #ubuntu-irc mailing-list, "New roles in the Ubuntu IRC team"
Objectives
- Remove obsolete factoids
- Update outdated factoids
- Tidy up factoid aliases
- Provide a collaborative method of factoid review and updates
Methodology
(as of Oct 31, 2011)
Under the heading "Candidates For Removal", sections containing:
Factoid name (including aliases), Factoid content, Reason (please include your name), Notes/Actions taken (please include your name)
Sample Criteria: Factoids with obsolete information, inaccurate information, potentially harmful, and cannot or will not be updated.
Under the heading "Candidates For Update", sections containing:
Factoid name (including aliases), Factoid content, Reason/Proposed update (please include your name), Notes/Actions taken (please include your name)
Sample Criteria: Factoids with useful but outdated information, with typographical errors, broken links, could be made more succinct or verbose.
The current table format for both headings is currently:
||<|2:10%>Name||<|2:30%>Content||<|2:30%>Reason/Proposal, Name||<|2:30%>Notes/Action, Name||
Under the heading "Remarks:"
Comments regarding anything which does not fit under the first two headings.

!eft (no aliases) |
a newt in its terrestrial stage of development - the release after Dapper is called Edgy Eft. For information and pictures of efts/newts, see http://en.wikipedia.…/wiki/Newt or try !edgy |
Should be just an alias to !edgy now , Kaulbach |
Awaiting review,Kaulbach |
Remarks:
!sunjava should probably not be an alias to !java anymore - Kaulbach
!mail (aliases:!lists,!mailinglists,!ml)reads: <reply>Mail is another medium to communicate. Ubuntu mailing lists can be found at http://lists.ubuntu.com ..which is somewhat confusing. Suggest !ml be assigned to this and !mail point to something to do with email in a more generalized way - Kaulbach
