[12:01] :) [12:01] hey, what's this: Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz MD5Sum mismatch [12:01] Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz MD5Sum mismatch [12:01] broken mirror? [12:02] run again [12:02] maybe it's syncing === Mez [~mez@82-36-228-130.cable.ubr01.perr.blueyonder.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-motu [12:02] ivoks: eh [12:02] ivoks: wouldnt it update Packages.gz last? [12:02] hm. perhaps.. [12:02] to avoid that [12:02] or at least, that would make sense [12:03] oh nevermind [12:03] that was packages.gz :P [12:03] tseng: that depends on the mirroring software. debmirror does this. rsync not [12:03] read: plain rsync not [12:03] yes [12:05] doh.. [12:05] ivoks.blog.hr isn't working :( [12:06] whiprush on puc!!!!!!!ONE [12:07] siretart: https://bob.kdz13.net/test.txt is the backend code to that page [12:07] siretart: the rest you can see in view source, its < 100 lines i think [12:07] lol tseng: [12:07] Developers: Microsoft to Release AJAX Framework [12:08] thats such bollocks, i dont need a "framework" [12:08] look at how simple this code is [12:08] i guess its for all their wussie VB hackers [12:08] tseng: also available for pyhton? ;) [12:08] victoria bitter ? [12:09] ogra: :) [12:09] hrhr [12:09] ;) [12:09] siretart: it doesnt matter [12:09] siretart: i did it in php [12:09] siretart: look at the code [12:09] the javascript just does a GET on your backend page [12:09] and returns the results [12:09] it can be any page really [12:09] time to leave you guys... [12:09] till tomorrow [12:09] bye ivoks === siretart also urgently needs sleep. [12:10] gn8 folks! [12:10] siretart: i cant think of anything cool to do with REVU and ajax. [12:10] or, at least cool *and* useful [12:10] in my app at work i sort things by column if you click on the header [12:10] but we have not much stuff [12:11] I'll think about it. gn8 [12:11] I'm going to bed as well... bye together [12:11] bye [12:11] siretart: hey one second [12:11] ja? [12:11] why do you say "together" [12:11] er, sistpoty [12:11] siretart: sleep :) [12:11] I had a thought regarding revu [12:11] ah. ok - on my way:) [12:11] Burgundavia: tell me [12:12] weird... maybe i'm too tired too write good english [12:12] is it useful to have seperate tables for things that received no reviews and things we have received only positive reviews? [12:12] no? [12:12] that was really sick "german english" [12:12] ie, something that has just been uploaded and not been looked by anyone [12:12] they could be sorted that way [12:12] or colored [12:12] is it useful? [12:12] they are already colored [12:13] its useful to quickly see [12:13] i dont see why it makes a difference if you split the table [12:13] because I was thinking about the UI [12:13] current my design was 4 tables [12:13] 1 for unreview/only positive reviews and 1 for downchecks, with one of each for both new and updated packages [12:14] the order would be: [12:14] new packages: Un [12:14] and Prob === sistpoty [~stefan@DSL01.212.114.239.158.NEFkom.net] has left #ubuntu-motu [] [12:14] and then Changed [12:14] un and prob [12:14] prob? [12:14] problems [12:15] morning all [12:15] hi ajmitch [12:15] Burgundavia: hang on [12:15] what if it was views [12:15] not all on the page at once, but possible [12:15] the main page has just the first table that we see now [12:15] but with links across the top to adjust the query [12:15] in the ways you just specified [12:15] it would redraw the table acordingly [12:16] the "current" current uploaders would be divided into 4 tables [12:16] no, it wouldnt [12:16] think about it this way [12:16] its one table [12:16] in the database [12:16] yes [12:16] right now we view the entire thing as is [12:16] which is "correct" [12:16] you want custom views on it [12:17] true [12:17] which we can do in real time [12:17] ok [12:17] would that suit? [12:17] id love to start hacking on that [12:17] let me draw you a mockup of what I imagined [12:17] ok [12:17] but i think it makes the page too heavy [12:17] ill draw mine too [12:17] and we can compromise [12:17] :D [12:17] so what do the different colours in revu mean now? [12:18] ajmitch: its based on review/no reviw it looks like [12:18] ajmitch, its written above [12:18] ah, NEW vs changes [12:18] ogra: that's assuming I read it :) [12:18] :) [12:19] herve was asking about a list of packages to merge? [12:19] I've got a list that I can generate daily here if you want [12:20] http://img129.echo.cx/my.php?image=revumockup4yx.png [12:21] ok [12:21] do you have an issue with new/updated being reflected by color or sort order in the same table? [12:21] not really [12:22] I was actually designing icons for new and updated [12:22] up arrow for new [12:22] here's what I am thinking [12:22] and circle for updated [12:22] New [12:22] Needs Work [12:22] Ready for Upload [12:22] 3 views [12:22] ok [12:22] all on the main page [12:22] yes [12:22] live updating with ajax [12:22] that works [12:22] not on the screen at once [12:23] the main page has everything listed [12:23] and color coded [12:23] (i think) [12:23] who here has the database setup and is still awake? [12:23] and wants to hack with me [12:24] and table should have the alternating colours [12:24] that makes it easy to read [12:24] yes [12:24] definately [12:24] all the way across, not like the current setup [12:24] Burgundavia: it should be sortable [12:24] by clicking column headers [12:24] yes [12:24] would that be 3 tables? [12:24] each sortable? [12:24] or one big? [12:24] well [12:24] do you understand what im saying? [12:25] there is on table on the page at a time [12:25] one table? [12:25] as you click links the table is replaced [12:25] by the view you want [12:25] it might be easier if you think of it as 4 html pages [12:25] so clicking on New hides Needs Work and Read? [12:25] yes [12:25] gotcha [12:25] it totally replaces the div with new content [12:26] i wish this was php/mysql :( [12:26] or id already be done [12:26] doing to do that with tabs? [12:26] yeah, its like tabs in a gtk app [12:26] ok [12:26] sortof [12:26] another thing [12:26] it will be regular hyperlinks [12:26] with javascript actions [12:27] would be nice if instead of email addys, you saw the this [12:27] the this? [12:27] Brandon Hale (tseng) [12:27] yep, sure [12:27] blah@blah.org [12:27] maybe leave off the email [12:27] but make the name a mailto link? [12:28] the table needs a bit of padding too [12:28] no [12:28] inside the td's [12:28] scratch that [12:28] its bugging me [12:28] and wth is actions [12:28] that should go away [12:28] and make comments and advocates clearer [12:28] well [12:29] advocates is dumb [12:29] there is + and - [12:29] I had another thought regarding how packages move through the system [12:29] right now i dont see a way to tell if there was a problem [12:29] if a package ends up in needs work, and new upload should move it back into new [12:29] you like? [12:29] SQL doesnt understand textual comments as positive or negative based on natural language :) [12:29] Burgundavia: no [12:29] hrm [12:29] sure [12:30] how will that work, programmatically [12:30] if there is an upload since the last comment? [12:30] date stamps [12:30] sure [12:30] if upload date stamp is newer than advocate downcheck datestamp [12:30] thats my other question [12:30] where is the downcheck [12:30] oh [12:31] advocating -> no [12:31] ? [12:31] yes [12:31] No and Yes should turn into an icon as well [12:31] can it be neutral? [12:31] just adding to the discussion? [12:31] that is a comment [12:31] i see [12:31] ok [12:31] No turns in X and Yes into a check [12:32] I also have an idea for the package page [12:32] across the top [12:32] Icon for if new/updated [12:32] package name, version # and uploader [12:32] and the the upper right, the current status [12:32] um [12:33] what if we make a comment when there is an upload [12:33] what do you mean? [12:33] i upload a package [12:33] it makes a comment on my page automatically [12:33] new package uploaded $datastamp [12:34] with the changelog even [12:34] you can even add an icon if you are really into that [12:34] why clutter comments? [12:34] why add icons? [12:34] :) [12:34] comments should be about the package, not that there is a new version [12:35] i dont consider it clutter to notify of a new package as part of the thread [12:35] maybe a history section? [12:35] showing new uploads [12:35] we can just look at the changelog for that [12:35] no one should be making uploads w/o updating it [12:35] not a new upload [12:35] but a new upload to REVU [12:36] eh? [12:36] im thinking about breezy changes [12:36] every time i upload something, it posts the relevant bits from changelog [12:36] yes [12:36] its very useful [12:36] (imo) [12:36] I am talking about the packages fixes that happen on REVU before it even hits the archives [12:37] whats the difference [12:37] each of those "uploads" are the same version, no? [12:37] im thinking of this as like a bug tracker [12:37] for a private archive [12:37] ok [12:37] we are probably approaching this from different backgrounds :) [12:37] but the package version number is not going to change for say http://siretart.tauware.de/revu/details.py?upid=24 [12:38] when the uploader pushes the fixes, as it is has not yet hit the archive [12:38] hm i guess you got me [12:38] he doesnt update the revision in revu [12:38] its all 0ubuntu1 [12:38] yes [12:38] so REVU needs to track that [12:38] apt doesn't care [12:38] bwar [12:39] all we need is to know that the uploader has pushed a new version into REVU for reviewing [12:39] and the date stamp will give us that [12:39] we should not be printing: [12:39] tesseracttrainer_0.1.4-1_i386.changes1k [12:39] thats ass [12:39] it should just say changelog [12:39] and [12:40] hm [12:40] on packages that stuff is at the bottom, not the top [12:40] i guess it is the first class object in our case [12:40] im not sure we need the filesize on most of it either [12:40] at least not so prominately [12:40] yes [12:40] i wish i had dreamweaver or something [12:41] i could mock up faster than vim [12:41] (is anyone logging this?) [12:41] i talk very fast [12:41] why shouldn't the person who uploads to REVU change the version? [12:41] sure [12:41] irssi is loggin it all [12:41] ajmitch: because when we upload to breezy [12:41] I log as well [12:41] ajmitch: it shouldnt be 0ubuntu4 [12:41] why not? [12:41] there was no 1-2-3 in the archive [12:41] so? [12:41] it just.. we dont do that :) [12:42] we could start, I dont mind [12:42] i would love to have revisions and changelogs in between for revu [12:42] and [12:42] it doesn't look clean, but there's nothing stopping it from happening :) [12:42] that enforces good habits for the real tree [12:42] it would also mean that new changelog thing would not have to be developed for revu [12:42] well [12:42] when I was getting packages reviewed for debian I was asked to make changes & make the version -2 instead of -1 [12:43] it would be nice to diff changelogs [12:43] and show the most recent upload [12:43] i still like showing uploads in comments [12:43] so 0.6.4-2 would get uploaded to debian without 0.6.4-1 being in the archive [12:43] i see it like a thread on bugzilla [12:43] what about having an ajax thing for the changelog [12:43] "package foo uploaded fixes the bug, here is changelog" [12:43] Burgundavia: how do you mean? [12:44] show the changelog in the page, but not open, that opens when clicked on [12:44] that could be just plain JS [12:44] put the changelog in an invisible div [12:44] and toggle visibility [12:44] sure [12:44] but um [12:44] you can just click it atm like all the other related files [12:44] not sure its a big add [12:44] true [12:45] ok, on the package page itself [12:45] yep im there [12:45] we should seperate the linda/lintian stuff, the orig and the diff/dsc stuff into three distinct sections [12:45] yes [12:45] rows in a table [12:46] with a tiny row underneath each one with filesize in a small font [12:46] if we really need it [12:46] and date stamp them all [12:46] gah i need dreamweaver so bad [12:46] tried nvu? [12:46] no [12:46] is it in breezy? [12:46] yes [12:46] i need to mockup as im thinking [12:46] coding it would be too slow [12:46] the way its written.. i really dont like [12:47] it has templates [12:47] and code seperate [12:48] http://img127.echo.cx/my.php?image=revumockup25tg.png [12:48] that is my top bar idea for the package pag [12:48] e [12:49] thats good [12:49] but [12:49] whats the difference in icons [12:49] (and why icons) [12:49] icons are easy and clear [12:49] no thinking involved [12:50] should be New/Updated [12:50] showing whether or not the package is already in the archives [12:50] if its in the archive [12:50] we should drop it [12:50] i see no reason to maintain that data once 3 motus approve [12:50] I thought REVU was also for non-MOTU's to upload changes to existing packages? [12:50] is it? [12:50] yes [12:50] thats bollocks [12:51] unless you wanted a separate review process just for those? [12:51] i wouldnt want them on the same page? [12:51] why not? [12:51] since the only difference is whether they need 3 MOTU thumbs up [12:51] not to hurt anyones feelings, but i dont care if a 15 year old kid can run uupdate -u [12:51] what about people like me [12:51] part of the new package process is assessing a *persons* skills [12:52] to join motu [12:52] I plan on doing some work with existing packages [12:52] that's great, but we're talking about fixing bugs in packages, not just new upstream versions [12:52] those changes will need to be reviewed somwhere [12:52] I am not 15 year old kid [12:52] i guess they do [12:52] but its more of a once-off thing [12:52] revu is fine === tseng debitters [12:53] REVU will work great [12:53] like all the Cxx transition - we needed some way to review people's work [12:53] as this will mean that people like me don't have to go find webspace [12:53] that was the biggest thing that held me back [12:53] ah good point [12:53] yes, my debian sponsor didn;t like grabbing packages at 16K/sec from my box [12:54] getting source from mentors.debian.net was far more convenient for him [12:54] can we put that in a seperate page? [12:54] or something [12:54] i dunno [12:54] you said mark them with an icon [12:54] if they are NEW [12:54] especially as this will be hosted at a DC, with plenty of bandwidth [12:54] capitol NEW meaning not in the archive [12:55] ok so tell me one more time why we need Archived Uploads [12:55] hm i know [12:55] but lets make it another tab [12:56] I have no idea [12:56] i dog [12:56] do! [12:56] so someone can have 2 packages uploaded [12:56] when they are doing their 3rd [12:56] we can be like, hey, here are the other 2 [12:56] they look awesome [12:56] because the MOTUToReview pacge quickly filled up with out-of-date stuff [12:56] lets approve him to TB as a maintainer [12:56] so [12:56] now on the main page we have one table [12:57] everything that is not yet uploaded [12:57] then [12:57] archived uploads mainly applies to changes to existing packages, imho [12:57] we have links across the top, tabs if you will [12:57] New / Needs Work / Ready for Upload / Archived [12:57] sounds good [12:57] will adjust the query [12:57] and redraw the table [12:57] so we need 4 icons for the status [12:57] yes [12:58] ajmitch: thirded? [12:58] ? [12:58] seconded, thirded [12:58] you know. [12:58] right.. [12:58] sure [12:59] Burgundavia: we can use the tabs off the wiki/homepage [12:59] and change the text [12:59] for the "tabs" [12:59] oh man [12:59] and put it into the header bar [12:59] it wont clutter the page at all up there [12:59] and be easy to use [12:59] Burgundavia: can you put that together? [01:00] we'll put out login link up there too [01:00] exactly as on the homepage [01:03] put which together? [01:03] Burgundavia: buttons for the top of the page [01:03] you talking html and css? [01:03] Burgundavia: in the header [01:03] like on the ubuntu homepage see [01:03] ahh [01:03] for our different "tabs" [01:04] all 4 of the [01:04] m [01:04] you want me to take the buttons from the ubuntu.com page and edit them for our purposes? [01:04] yes [01:04] can do [01:04] i imagine someone has a blank [01:05] tseng: as an aside, how's monopod looking? [01:05] ajmitch: the package, or the app? [01:05] they are done using js and dvis [01:05] ajmitch: i fixed your nested folder, it still needs a manpage [01:06] Burgundavia: oh! [01:06] 1337 [01:06] perfect [01:07] ok so [01:07] i am really excited to just plow into this as you can tell [01:08] but i think it might be better long term if we put all our braindump into the wiki now [01:08] before continuing, yes? [01:08] yes [01:08] REVUDevelopment? [01:08] sure [01:08] making it [01:09] you beat me [01:09] already did [01:09] i wanst logged in [01:09] :P [01:09] ok, be my guest [01:10] ill see what the ubuntu stylesheet does to the page in the meantime [01:12] yuck :P === Mez [~mez@82-36-228-130.cable.ubr01.perr.blueyonder.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-motu === womble [~mpalmer@220-245-224-46-nsw.tpgi.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-motu === jamessan|laptop [~jamessan@c-24-218-220-129.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu === Mez [~mez@82-36-228-130.cable.ubr01.perr.blueyonder.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-motu [01:30] do you have any idea about archive icon?

[01:32] http://img124.echo.cx/my.php?image=revumockup39kt.png [01:32] those are for new and updated [01:33] and the button row is ready to upload and needs work [01:33] ok [01:33] most of those already exist in gnome icon theme [01:33] in high color [01:33] I was having fun with inkscape [01:33] i usually just steal them :) [01:33] I want to avoid words and have distinct shapes for each [01:34] im serious [01:34] that is why I am designing them in black and white [01:34] I will look for ideas [01:34] there is a hammer, a circle, an up, and a check [01:34] all nicely shaped [01:34] if you want to make the effort though, be my guest [01:35] where is the gnome icon them kept? [01:36] http://jimmac.musichall.cz/icons.php [01:36] most of it can be access here [01:36] but i will give you the icons im talking about [01:36] given a few minutes [01:37] <|QuaD-> hey, whats joe gasiorek's irc name?

[01:40] yes [01:40] I will update the wiki page accordingly [01:40] just based on your mockup [01:40] we dont have to use these, they are jsut burned into my brain [01:40] you are noticing by now that im a very odd person [01:41] they are bold and simple [01:41] the archive one [01:41] hang ong [01:41] thats the wrong size [01:41] and not as fitting [01:43] http://jimmac.musichall.cz/wipicons/gtk-stock//stock_add.png [01:43] there is the filing cabinet [01:43] http://jimmac.musichall.cz/wipicons/XD2//file-manager.png [01:43] and larger [01:44] oh i have a bit of an itch [01:44] what if someone uploads a package [01:44] and we have no intention of ever approving it for some reason [01:44] say its not legal to distribute or its totally crack buggy [01:45] we havent accounted for this yet [01:45] we need a rejected status [01:45] yes [01:45] it doesnt need to have a view really [01:46] but the package page should be able to handle it if you stumble on it somehow [01:47] http://jimmac.musichall.cz/wipicons/git//im-jabber-48.png [01:47] for new? [01:47] new as in not yet reviewed [01:47] sure why not [01:48] these dont need to be cast in stone at all [01:49] no [01:50] the different "tabs" dont need to be ajax [01:50] they can do a GET back to the same page [01:51] ajax would be not bookmarkable [01:51] I had an idea for the status [01:51] since the GET happens in javascript and not an actually href [01:51] yeah?

[06:43] you can have multiple keybindings for same action [06:43] I don't like being outside of /home if I can avoid it :-) [06:43] Nafallo: well, i guess it's possible [06:43] Nafallo : some cli programs do that too I think ? [06:44] like 'less' :) [06:44] JanC: hehe, like less yes :-) [06:44] JanC: but that one doesn't switch to new message ;-) [06:46] ivoks: hmm, I'll stick to *Control*period ;-) [06:46] baah === zul [~chuck@ottawa-hs-64-26-161-129.s-ip.magma.ca] has joined #ubuntu-motu === jonathan_ [~jonathan@host81-158-254-162.range81-158.btcentralplus.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu === plugwash [plugwash@p10link.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu === lamont [~lamont@15.238.6.45] has joined #ubuntu-motu [07:34] <\sh> i will lay down for 1 1/2 hour...

[10:23] usability survey: https://staging.ubuntu.com/products/malone/+bugs -- what do you guys thing of the changes that have so far been made on this page? (disclaimer: i suck at CSS, it'll need a bit of mpt love) [10:24] on the css note [10:24] its hard to quickly see the different between columns [10:24] and i like to alternate row colors slightly [10:24] the sidebar, much better [10:25] useful actions [10:25] tseng: what's more asthetically pleasing to you, that "sidebar" look, or the portlets we normally use? [10:26] mgalvin: pong [10:26] the sidebar [10:26] also: https://staging.ubuntu.com/distros/ubuntu/+bugs [10:26] holy crap, assign to me [10:27] uh [10:27] users are such tools [10:27] "Ubuntu mythtv New Critical High Matt Zimmerman" [10:27] MY BUG IS TEH CRITICALZ === tseng fixes [10:27] warning: this is only staging, so make sure you do your fix on prod ;) [10:28] oh.. [10:28] i believe the data is the same though [10:28] its time for me to go home really [10:28] ok [10:28] who else should i bug about the malone UI... [10:29] Burgundavia, ogra if they have time [10:29] Burgundavia! [10:29] :) [10:29] ogra! [10:29] thanks [10:29] bye. [10:29] later tseng [10:29] bradb, i'm about to leave for dinner with sabdfl, mdz, almo and JaneW [10:29] ok [10:29] heh, s/almo/elmo [10:30] Burgundavia's a usability nut. i'm sure he has something to say. [10:30] siretart, any chance of getting a password for revu, i wanted to reply to a comment? [10:30] i uploaded 4 packages [10:31] <\sh> ok..ejabber + all migrations doine [10:31] bradb, absolutely and you can trust his judgement... [10:31] ...mostly :) [10:31] mgalvin: send a gpg-signed mail to siretart [10:31] mgalvin: with your password in it ;) [10:31] right here [10:31] ! [10:32] mgalvin: just a moment.. (wlan very unreliable here) [10:32] Burgundavia: https://staging.ubuntu.com/distros/ubuntu/+bugs (disclaimer 1: this is staging, not production. disclaimer 2: i suck at CSS; it needs some mpt love) [10:32] <\sh> ogra: greetings to all :) and don't eat beef ;) [10:32] sistpoty, i sent him my info before, but he asked that I upload a package first [10:32] what do you think of the changes that have been made to that page as compared to the last time you saw it? [10:32] btw, there was a bug in the process_upload script, the nvidia-cg wasn't processed correctly. Will do manually [10:32] siretart, ok [10:32] first thought: I worry about how it looks at 800x600 === mae [~mae@dpc674653178.direcpc.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu [10:32] \sh, i'm to crazy already, uk beef wont harm me :) [10:32] as it just wide enough on my screen to show all useful info [10:32] <\sh> ogra: ehe :) [10:33] I have 1280x1024 [10:33] true [10:33] guys ! mae wants to build anjuta2 for us, please lend a hand :) [10:33] bradb, this would be the page for any product? [10:34] generally, vertical scrolling is far better than horizontal scrolling [10:34] it's the distro page. the upstream page is: https://staging.ubuntu.com/products/malone/+bugs (forgive me if my lp maintainer terminology sounds different to what terms you use to refer to these things) [10:34] as we have a mouse wheel [10:35] bradb, but say I was looking for bugs on, say, the Gimp, would it also display a page like this? [10:35] Burgundavia: when we add the sourcepackage-specific view, yes. that should be coming along in a few days. [10:35] what about placing the side bar at the bottom, as a horizontal bar? [10:35] (er, merged into the codebase. might take longer to actually be rolled out) [10:36] it also feels "crammed" [10:36] night all [10:36] like I have to strain to look at the beginning of it [10:36] the id column [10:37] at the bottom eh...interesting [10:37] mgalvin: you got mail [10:37] the top right might be another good place [10:37] Burgundavia: why at the bottom and not at the top or where it's currently placed? [10:37] just throwing ideas around [10:38] I want the page to be no wider than the table [10:38] you could have a status bar at the top [10:38] showing the package being tracked and the number of bugs filed for it [10:39] because at the top currently you have 3 places with the word "malone" [10:40] to be honest, I could care less that I am using the malone bug tracker [10:40] heh, interesting point [10:40] what i care about is that I am looking at bugs, and for what package [10:42] <\sh> wow [10:42] <\sh> done [10:42] anyone else, support or disagree with what Burgundavia said? === thoreauputic [~prospero@wolax8-127.dialup.optusnet.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-motu [10:51] bradb, on 800x600 the right-side bar overlaps the content; on the bug page i get a horiz scrollbar [10:52] ups: right. what would you expect to happen when you shrink your browser to 800 x 600? [10:53] bradb, are you using ems for the layout? [10:54] bradb, btw, i have an old monitor - i can only run 800x600 on it [10:54] I had a thought just now [10:54] what about making the options tabs [10:54] and then use ajax for fast switching [10:55] thoughts on that? [10:55] not tabs in the browser, but tabs on the page [10:55] ajax? [10:55] ups: what's ems? [10:55] asyncronous javascript and xml [10:55] ajax is a fancy buzzword for javascritp :) [10:55] gmail and google maps, basically [10:56] how well supported is that? [10:56] quite [10:56] any standards compliant browser can do it [10:56] even IE can [10:56] bradb, ems is a relative unit, it works like % - you specify relative dimensions as with % [10:57] basically makes web apps more rich, more like standalone programs [10:57] there are some javascript libraries for this that fix all the browser quirks for you [10:58] you should also use ajax for fast column sorting, but that is another matter [10:58] is ems different from ajax? i get the feeling it is. [10:59] oh it's like making a desktop application "alike" from a web page [10:59] ajax is javascript using http get to get data from the server [11:00] means you avoid all that icky loading crap [11:00] and then dynamically changing the page with that data [11:00] bradb, ems is just a unit like px, pt etc. [11:00] without resorting to using java or flash [11:00] people have been doing this for years :) [11:00] how is ajax different from xml-rpc? [11:01] http://weblogs.java.net/blog/analogueboy/archive/2005/04/ajax_and_xmlrpc.html [11:02] bradb, I have to run, as life calls, but I think I have given most of the my ideas already. PM me is want anything further [11:02] sounds good, thanks for the feedback and url === Burgundavia grumbles about having to go searching for a job === highvoltage grumples about the strange country he finds himself in today [11:07] bradb, further note, while I am on my way out, change total reported to all and have it the first link/tab === sh [~sh@server3.servereyes.de] has joined #ubuntu-motu === rtcm [~jman@217.129.142.72] has joined #ubuntu-motu [11:07] lol [11:08] irc via tkabber und einem irc transport [11:08] <\sh> oops..and a irc transport ;) [11:08] Burgundavia: ok. i can't promise that we'll make all these changes, but i can promise that we're listening to what you're saying you want and taking those needs into consideration for the grand scheme of things with the UI. [11:08] indeed [11:08] I am not the only crazy UI person involved with Ubuntu === sh [~sh@server3.servereyes.de] has left #ubuntu-motu [] [11:09] Burgundavia: besides mpt, who are the other usability geeks in the house? [11:09] tseng is pretty good [11:10] bradb, you should look at ems - it is a part of standard css, and it avoids hardcoding pixel-sizes into the web page [11:10] tseng has given good feedback thus far, to be sure [11:10] bradb, and hence you won't have to worry about different resolutions [11:10] indeed [11:11] when i said i sucked at CSS, i meant it :P [11:11] :) [11:11] it is used a lot [11:12] luckily, i don't normally have to write any CSS. it's mpt who does that most often, so i'll discuss the issue with him and see what his recommendation is, ems, etc. [11:12] sure, thx [11:12] i'm sure he knows about it :) [11:12] yup [11:13] can i /msg you with an example site? [11:14] sure, by all means === TMM [~hp@c51471f2c.cable.wanadoo.nl] has joined #ubuntu-motu [11:21] bradb: is this the first mpt is working on malone? [11:22] no. he's been working on Malone since December when he came to Montreal to work with kiko and me on spec'ing out the entire UI [11:22] bradb: Who can I contact with problems with launchpad/wiki? I changed my email adress in the launchpad, now I don't get any wiki page subscriptions anymore [11:22] bradb: wiki is telling me to set my email adress in preferences, but there is no field email :( [11:22] siretart: interesting, one sec, let me see if i can get someone for you. [11:25] in fact, I first merged 2 accounts and then changed the email adress [11:25] <\sh> off to bed..cu tomorrow [11:26] gn8 \sh_away [11:27] siretart: ok, i've passed on that information, so we'll see what the cabal says [11:28] bradb: thanks a lot! [11:28] bradb: in general, what would the contact adress be with such issues? in case someone asks me [11:29] there's no launchpad users ML right now, unfortunately :/ if anything, you could file a bug in Launchpad and we'll see it [11:29] but i think a users list is on the way; i just updated a spec on the UdU wiki yesterday to make note of the need for it [11:29] i.e. http://udu.wiki.ubuntu.com/LaunchpadAndUbuntuCommunity [11:29] ah, ok [11:30] (er, a couple days ago, but anyway) === Arrogance [~aks@CPE00112f96b894-CM001225423850.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #ubuntu-motu [11:33] bradb: thats sort of a funny title === sistpoty [~stefan@DSL01.212.114.235.61.NEFkom.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu [11:34] id say im a pretty prominent community member and i still dont have a handle on alot of what launchpad is doing [11:34] just an observation [11:36] indeed. i'd be confused too, if i didn't work on launchpad. i think the spec addresses that issue and points at it as one of the things that really needs to be addressed.
