mdkesabmoc, i don't mind doing it later on01:02
sabmocmdke, thats ok, I would like to do it myself to see how it works.01:03
mdkeok01:03
mdkebest way is to take a look at an existing page01:04

sabmocok, moinmoin looks pretty strait forward, but I have one question.01:12
sabmoc1. Why01:12
mdkefire away01:12
mdkehmm01:12
sabmocas in, why not html which almost everyone is already familiar with01:13
mdkebut loads of users aren't familiar with html01:13
mdkethe idea is to encourage people who can't write things like html: because those that can, can easily write moin ;)01:13
sabmocbut probably more than moinmoin01:13
sabmocah ok, I see now01:14
mdkei wasn't around when they took the decision, but i think that simplicity is the main reason01:14
sabmocyes it is simpler01:14
sabmocOk, good enough01:14
mdkesadly it is not yet set as default01:14
sabmocAsk me what I think of wiki's01:15
mdkelol01:15
mdkei've read it01:15
sabmochaha01:15
mdkeyou have a point01:15
sabmocwait a minute? 01:16
sabmocwhat!01:16
sabmocread it where?01:16
mdkeon the canadian team page01:16
sabmocoh01:16
=== sabmoc goes to check what it sasy
sabmocactually I didnt write that01:16
mdkeoh01:17
mdkeit says you did iirc01:17
sabmocyou mean the little note about the bug?01:17
mdkewikis always get01:17
mdkecluttered over time and become difficult to navigate (imo).01:17
mdkeAlexCombas 19March200501:17
sabmocoh under the web portal section!01:17
mdkeheh01:17
sabmocok ok01:17
mdkeread all the way down!01:17
sabmocguilty01:17
sabmocbah01:18
=== mdke slaps sabmoc
=== sabmoc dies of a nosebleed
mdkethe bug thing relates to OUR wiki01:18
mdkenot wikis in general01:18
mdkeour website sucks ass01:18
sabmochmm ok01:18
sabmocyeah its a little *cough cough*01:18
mdkelemme see which bug that is01:18
sabmocbut in general, about wiki01:19
mdkebizarre01:19
mdkethose website bugs never get assigned HRMPH01:19
sabmocbrb01:19
mdkeme too01:21
sabmocok, this is what i wanted to say01:21
sabmocI dont like wiki's because they don't seem to encourage banter.01:21
sabmocforums are great for bantering back and forth on subjects01:22
sabmocbut forums need large groups to really be fun01:22
sabmocfor a small group nothing is better than a mailing list01:22
sabmocI dunno, just my opinion01:23
mdkeyeah i c01:23
mdkewe should distinguish here01:23
mdkethat doesn't apply to the docs on the wiki01:23
mdkejust to the devel and community stuff01:23
sabmocyeah01:24
sabmocwiki's are super for document creation though01:24
mdkei still think you're wrong tho, hang on a tic and i'll explain01:24
sabmocok01:24
mdkeok01:25
sabmocIm not trying to say wiki's are not useful or good. They are great for making documents with a group. 01:25
mdkejust a quick example01:25
mdkei help out with the italian team01:25
mdketoday i made a page for wiki pages which could usefully be translated01:25
mdkethe idea is that people add to it, wishlist style01:26
sabmoccool01:26
mdkethat wouldn't work as well on a mailing list01:26
sabmocI see your point01:26
mdkeanother reason that i dislike mailing lists01:26
mdkeis that threads end up all over the shop01:27
sabmocOk, for creating action lists where everyone can have a say they are really good.01:27
mdkebranching off left right and centre01:27
mdkebecause people don't reply to the right one01:27
mdkeor don't use reply-to-list or whatever01:27
sabmocyes, I only like mailing lists with about 10-30 people01:28
sabmocmore than 30(just off the top of my head) you should build a forum01:28
mdkehmm01:28
mdkein the italian group list today there was one thread that began again because someone replied all01:29
mdkeso irritating01:29
sabmocwhat Im saying is that if you want to have a running conversation with someone, wiki is not the best tool.01:29
mdkeyeah that's very true01:29
mdkeemail or irc ;)01:29
sabmochaha01:29
sabmocirc sucks!01:29
sabmocjk01:29
mdkehmm01:29
sabmocI like irc01:29
mdkegood for meetings01:30
mdkeand procrastinating01:31
sabmocyeah, sometimes its difficult to understand someone enless you are having a convo. You can get a better picture of the feelings involved.01:31
sabmocHAHA01:31
sabmocmdke, Ok, I'll stop bugging you01:31
mdkei'm not doing anything01:31
sabmocOk, then stop bugging me01:31
sabmochaha01:31
mdkeheh01:31
mdkethese cheeky canadians01:32
sabmocheh01:32
mdkeus brits are so much more polite01:32
sabmocaye, you are more polite01:32
sabmocI dont think we are impolite though, maybe just a little abrupt.01:33
mdkehonest is the word01:33
sabmocperhaps01:33
sabmocsee, that was a very polite thing to say.. i would have never thought of that01:33
mdkeheh01:33
mdkei like straight talking01:33
mdkei'm not that english ;)01:33
sabmocah ok01:33
mdkehmm01:34
mdkei tell you what is fun01:34
sabmocok01:34
mdkeconverting polish pages to moin01:34
sabmocwhys that?01:34
mdkecan't understand where anything is supposed to go01:34
mdkeheh01:34
mdkethis one's got some random css in it01:35
sabmocso when you translate a page, its completely automated?01:35
mdkei'm not translating just trying to change the formatting01:35
sabmocoh, I read that wrong. I see.01:36
sabmocah the polish, wonderful people01:36
mdkeyeah they rock01:36
mdkebut their punctuation looks like code01:37
mdkeor vice versa01:37
sabmoclol01:37
sabmocA while back I lived in Toronto, it is much more metropolitan overthere than here. Met some real poles fresh from poland, very crazy times.01:38
sabmocfun, but just completely crazy01:38
sabmocbut fun01:38
sabmocDid I say fun?01:38
mdkeyou may have01:39

sabmoclater01:42
mdkebefore01:43
=== sabmoc needs more sleep
mdkeme too01:43
sabmocwhen I select moinmoin markup, and hit preview, in the textbox it doesnt change, but the preview at the bottom shows all the html. Are they invisible in the text box?01:44
mdkethe preview shows you what it looks like01:45
mdkemoin doesn't include html tags so they show up as normal text01:45
mdkegeddit?01:46
sabmochmm, down in the preview box it looks like this now: <h1>= Welcome to the Canadian Local Ubuntu Team=</h1>01:47
sabmocyes, I understand why, but how do I remove the html?01:47
sabmocin the text box it doenst show me any of the html tags01:48
mdkeoh01:48
mdkehuh01:48
mdkefunky01:49
mdkesave it and lemme see01:49
sabmocmaybe I just needed to save it and reload the file01:49
sabmocyup01:50
sabmocalrighty, now I'm in business01:50

mdkei know nothing about star trek01:51
sabmocnow Im really getting suspicious01:51

mdkecrazy thing is that its true01:52
mdkei actually dont01:52
mdkeoh you mean the mind reading thing?01:52
sabmocyes01:52
mdkethats not borg related at all01:52

mdkeleave a line i think01:55
sabmocthanks01:55
mdkehang on01:55
mdkehmm dunno01:56

mdkeother than that, i'm not too sure tbg01:56
mdketbh*01:56
sabmocthats good, ok thanks01:57

sabmocomg09:50
sabmocTo install antenna, make a small incision with the pocketknife at the nape of the badger's neck. Then shove the antenna down the badger's back under the hide. Antenna must lie as flat as possible along the spine, or security will be suboptimal. Antenna may also be installed by cutting the badger's back skin open, but requires post-installation stitchery to restore structural integrity; this method is recommended for licensed taxidermist09:53
sabmocs only.09:53
sabmocthats just wrong09:55
mdkekeep readin09:55
mdkesm, did you see that other thing about the pics?09:56
smI lost it.. do you remember it09:56
mdkesure09:56
mdkethe little pics at  https://www.ubuntulinux.org/portal_memberdata/portraits/ don't have suffixes09:57
mdkesm, there might be thousands of the buggers tho09:59
smthat link doesn't work for me.. how did you get there ?10:00
=== sabmoc is away: onBlur();
mdkeok sorry10:00
mdkeexample: https://www.ubuntulinux.org/portal_memberdata/portraits/11810:00
smbut how are those accessible on the site10:04
mdkepeople post them in their userpages and they come up in stx10:04
smyou can set them in preferences, right10:04
mdkeno idea10:04
mdkein the pages i've seen they are just posted as links10:05
smcan I see one10:05
mdkeerm10:06
mdkehang on10:06
smI don't find any in the ubuntu wiki..10:06
mdkehttp://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AlexanderPoslavsky10:08
smdang.. search for "portraits" doesn't match that url10:09
smplovs causing trouble :/10:09
smhe added that in his preferences10:09
smbut unfortunately it will always be without a suffix10:09
mdkeright10:10
smplone names these according to the username10:10
mdkebut the address works on its own in a browser doesn't it?10:10
smcertainly10:10
smbut we can't link those in moin at all afaik, except by changing moin rules10:10
mdkenot a problem10:11
smunless.. we could get the apache admin to put in a rewrite rule, to just strip off the suffix10:12
smthen it would work10:12
mdkesounds like too much bother10:12
smI think portraits could be useful10:12
smyou could also not use prefs, just upload the image to the wiki10:12
mdkeyeah exactly10:13
mdkewhats the score on making moin the default markup?10:13
smlet's talk about what that means exactly10:14
=== sm looks at edit form
sm- move it to the top of the page types list10:14
mdkemaybe10:15
mdkei don't know how it works10:15
smwhat else10:15
smI think that is probably what people mean10:15
mdkeoh10:15
smI can do that now10:15
mdkewhat i mean is10:15
mdkesm, when you create a new page, moin be the selected markup10:16
mdkeso that people who don't look at that bit or change it because they don't know any of the markups, just leave it as moin10:16
smyeah, I think it just needs to move to the top of the list10:16
smthere10:17
smgood move :)10:18
mdkecool10:18
mdkeawesome thanks sm10:18
smre the login redirect problem - I have seen it only when using the zwiki skin10:19
smI think10:19
mdkeright10:20
mdkei filed a bug10:20
mdkedo those get assigned to you or elsewhere?10:20
smI bookmarked it10:20
mdkety10:20
mdkebut perhaps its not your fault10:20
mdkemaybe its plone10:21
smthey get assigned to louise10:21
smso it's her fault10:21
mdkeheh10:21
mdkei think more likely they don't get assigned at all10:21
=== sm tries to debug locally, foiled by a plone bug
smout of time, I'll have to try again10:37
mdkelol10:37
mdkepoor sm10:38
smsee you10:38
