Description Matthias Clasen 2013-04-02 16:54:26 UTC
Some of the pages here are not up-to-date with the latest redesign of the network panel:

- Manually set - talks about a 'Configure' button. It is now called 'Options'

- Connect to hidden - talks about 'Other' in the Network name dropdown. We don't have that anymore, there is now a 'Connect to Hidden Network' button

Overall, looks fine as far as I can see, please reflow the paragraphs that you touch and resubmit the patch.

Thanks for the review Kat. :)

I've reflowed all paragraphs that I touched. Didn't get carried away into removing apostrophes. :)

Please review this when you're free. :)

Hi Aruna, it looks like the review is done on this one and we somehow forgot to push it in for the 3.8 release. Could you push the commit now, please? I think it can also go to the gnome-3-8 branch.

I can't see a review of the latest patch, so it's not done.

Hi Aruna, are you still working on this?
Comment 11 Aruna Sankaranarayanan 2014-02-16 12:03:32 UTC
I wasn't, but I can submit a new patch for this, unless you've already finished writing one. :)
Comment 12 Kat 2014-02-20 10:06:42 UTC
I haven't started on this yet, but I'd like this bug closed within the next week or so. Make sure to test on continuous if you want to finish the patch.
Comment 13 Aruna Sankaranarayanan 2014-02-28 02:15:44 UTC
I am having a little trouble with gnome-continuous, and with the new design itself. I don't think I'll be able to finish this in time. Sorry Kat, I'll see what I can do over the weekend.
Comment 14 Kat 2014-02-28 10:39:30 UTC
No rush, I found myself two other projects to concentrate on for now ;) We should aim to get as much gnome-user-docs done within the next two weeks as possible so that translators have two weeks to do translations before the release. I have a feeling that this will be the best docs release in years as there were few enough changes that we can keep on top of them.
Comment 15 Kat 2015-02-19 17:07:41 UTC
This bug should be a priority for 3.16. Aruna, how are you coming along on this?
