Hi John! I recently started helping on the server guide as well, and so here are a few tips I can share: - Follow the procedure outlined here [1] for the source checkout and lanchpad/bzr integration. - Using LXC containers, it's very simple to spin up a new, pristine Ubuntu Saucy machine ("sudo lxc-create -n saucy -t ubuntu -- --release saucy -b (you username)" should get you started). Then simply login to it via ssh ("sudo lxc-ls --fancy" will get you the IP address of your new machine), and follow the article you picked to the letter, or confirm your bug, etc... - Make sure you run "scripts/validate.sh" on your modified article, I somehow overlooked this instruction at first, but it is very helpful and saves reviewers a lot of time.
Glad to see your interest on the server guide! Don't hesitate to join the server guide helpers team here [2] and join the mailing list (it's not very active right now but hopefully that will change :) ) Cheers, - Chris [1]: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/SystemDocumentation/UbuntuServerGuide [2]: https://launchpad.net/~serverguide-helpers On Thu, Jun 13, 2013 at 2:11 AM, John Kim <johnkim.ubu...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi ServerGuide helpers, > > My name is John, and I would like to help out in the Serverguide project. > > I am interested in fixing some serverguide bugs very soon, but I have a > few questions.
