I drafted an article on powertop from the pitch pile, and I believe
it's ready for review.
I had a quick review of the article, and it looks pretty good!
just a few ideas i had when reading it -- what do you think about providing
a screenshot of the powertop running in a terminal -- normally i would shy
away from doing this for a commandline tool, but because it is more of a
terminal application, i think it might be useful to give the reader some
context and to show what powertop looks like.
Happy to do this. I wasn't sure how people felt about Terminal
screenshots but I agree it could be helpful.
I'll add a screenshot shortly.
Awesome! thanks Paul!
Would it also be worth mentioning the new gnome battery bench[1]for users to
test out their battery life before and after setting the tunables? (this
might even be a good follow-up article, rather than jamming it in this one.)
I took a look at g-b-b. It's not very pretty, nor is it clear to me
how to run it or what it does. So I decided not to try to put it into
this article specifically. Admittedly, I didn't do any research on
g-b-b before I installed and ran it. But as a casual user who didn't
know anything about it, I found it hard to understand. Of course,
that means it could benefit from the article! I guess my question is
whether it's ready for such a feature article.
I have played with it a bit, and basically it runs a series of tests (it actaully takes over your computer in some cases, and opens a browser, goes to a website, that kind of thing), and tests your battery usage while it runs the tests.
But long story short, yeah it is probably best suited to a seperarte follow-up article rather than tacking it on yours. :)
It also needs an appropriate featured image.
I filed a ticket for this in the design team queue [2]. And have already
done one up, and uploaded it to the article.
Woop woop! Sorry, that may have been my responsibility and I didn't
know to do it.
Nah, filing a ticket is not something we have done ever in the past, just something I thought might be a good habit to get in to -- makes it easier for me to track and know when articles need feature images.
I will write up a wikipage on this now :)
cheers,

Thanks!
