Hi Yannick,
The documentation you wrote is entirely and specifically about Ekiga,
and I think that it would be out of place in the Ubuntu docs themselves
for this reason. The Ubuntu docs are quite general and should just help

It would be very useful to provide a link to Yannick's documentation in
the Ubuntu docs. However, I'd advise against including all of it in the
system docs because it's very in-depth; it's probably best to leave
large, extended guides such as this on the wiki. Including Yannick's
guide would
Hi,

I don't like this idea very much, because, the Ubuntu documentation will
be translated but the link you will provide will remain in english. Most
Ubuntu users like having their stuff in their own
Hi,
Another important thing is to explain the GUI and especially the
systray: lot of people think they can close the program just by closing
the main window. As a result, they try to run the program again and they
get an error saying it is already open, but they don't see it in the
systray. I

That all sounds broadly sensible.

Some quick comments on the new material, which looks a definite
improvement:
There appears to be instructions on connecting to an Ekiga server using
Pidgin - isn't it better to use Ekiga for that? I found that section
confusing.
It would be cool to have some instructions for actually making a

I'll forward your suggestions to Dawid, thanks!

Matthew,
Point taken
[1] I will get cracking on the Ekiga auto-conf wizard and other
mentioned improvements,
[2] Connecting to Ekiga via Pidgin, that's there for those that want to
talk to there Ekiga buddies without using Ekiga, thus eliminating the
need to use multiple applications.

Can someone point me to Dawid's work? At the moment, I'm the guy in
charge for http://wiki.ekiga.org , I also made

Yannick,
The work (part of the ubuntu-docs repo, internet.xml - attached find
a .diff of my work) I have done is just the basic(s) eg, howto setup an
Ekiga account. I had a look at your documentation
(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ekiga), and if can I say, damm good
job. Brilliant
Hi,
Thank you Dawid. If someone is willing to use this documentation
(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ekiga), there is no problem as it is

Hi mpt, I disagree with your comments. Please allow me to explain why:

Pidgin only has online (web-based) help. If a user doesn't have an
Internet connection, there is NO

system is a man page!
I didn't realise that - I checked Ekiga but not Pidgin.
mpt is right though, we need to work to ensure that our document doesn't
overlap unnecessarily. That means including prominent links to system

My previous comment(s) were probably a bit of an over-reaction
(apologies), but I think that this new documentation *is* worthy of
being kept in the Ubuntu documentation, even though there is a degree of
duplication. I took mpt's original comment to mean that he endorsed its
removal, which I

Yes, I think Ekiga docs should be included too, but just the basics
(setting up an account and placing a call). Also, are there any common
problems that people have with Ekiga?

Hi,
Including the basics (with a screenshoot on how to setup the ekiga.net

It's hard to say what common problems are, I have no statistics, but

(offical IRC, Mailling list, Ubuntu foroms french and
