mhz:(03:52
mhzI can commit to wake up earlier though03:53
mhzso I can shool you a little bit03:53
mhzbur before that, please use Moinmoin desktop edition03:53
mhzand once you unpack it, cd to the dir where you unpack it and do this:03:54
mhz./moin03:54
mhzand then open a browser and visit localhost:808003:54
klepasalrighty03:57
klepasgimme a few minutes03:57
klepasvoila04:02
klepasthis is really quite cool :)04:02
mhzindeed04:03
mhzsee? nt touching your OS04:03
mhznot04:03
mhzokis04:03
mhzare we ready?04:03
=== mhz yaaaawns
mhz;)04:03
klepasyep04:03
mhzokis04:04
mhzyou are at the browser?04:04
klepasyes04:04
mhzeverything we'll work on is after http://localhost:8080/04:05
klepasok04:05
mhzbefore we begin, you have to remember this is web technology04:05
mhzand that every page is a link04:06
klepasyes04:06
mhzor treated as a link04:06
mhzwhat's your name?04:06
klepasfirst name?04:06
klepasPascal :)04:06
mhzPascal Klein04:06
klepasyep04:06
mhzokis04:06
mhzwrite http://localhost:8080/PascalKlein04:07
mhzjust like that04:07
klepasyep04:07
mhzpress enter :)04:07
klepasPage obviously does not yet exist and i have an option to create a new page with that name04:07
mhzexactly, dont d it04:07
mhznot yet04:07
mhznow write http://localhost:8080/pascal04:08
klepassame04:08
mhzof course04:08
klepas:)04:08
mhzbut you just noticed that it will let you creeate04:08
mhznew pages just like that04:09
klepasyes04:09
mhznow, what do you know wikis are for?04:09
klepasto store information04:09
klepaswhich can be edited cooperatively04:09
mhzexcelent04:09
klepasso people can share their knowledge or write about something in a cooperative manner04:10
mhzbut then04:10
mhzif we collaboratively edit pages, how do others know we have created a page 'pascal' or PascalKelin?04:10
klepasthey can sign up to these pages04:10
mhzyes04:10
klepasand be informed by email, for example of changes04:11
mhzbut when editing a page?04:11
klepasWhen editing a page yes04:11
mhzhow do i know if i have to write 'pascal'?04:11
klepasnot too sure about the creation of new pages04:11
mhzor PascalKlein to get a link?04:11
klepasi assume that the function of signing up is somewhat configurable so that people can also be informed when new pages are made04:11
mhzyes04:12
mhzand no04:12
mhzklepas: the purpose of a good wiki is04:12
mhzthat if I happen to write about the Artwork project,04:12
mhzand I want to let the readers know about Pascal04:12
mhzI want to have a link t your pages04:13
mhzor page04:13
klepasyes04:13
mhzto do so, I need to know if your page is Pascal, PascalKlein or pascal04:13
klepasa wiki is based on a network of links04:13
mhzbecause those 3 can be links or just words04:13
mhzso,04:13
klepasyes04:14
mhza good standard policy to every wiki 04:14
mhzis we use CamelCase04:14
mhzwhich are 2 words put together04:14
klepasFirstwordLastword? :)04:14
mhzyup04:14
mhzexcellent04:14
mhzand to avoid pascal as  link04:14
mhz:)04:14
klepasand they point to the respective wiki pages04:14
mhzor avoid Pascal04:14
mhzexactly04:14
mhzthis way, we all know we use similar standards04:15
mhzand we'll make lots of links to useful or already existing pages04:15
klepasand if they do not exist they link to them anyway and the wiki will then realise that the page is non-existant and will allow you to create it :)04:15
mhzyes and no04:15
mhzyes if its 'syntax' is a link04:15
mhzand here we come to the diffs04:15
mhzEach wiki engine can use their own syntax04:16
mhzbut 99% will always respect CamelCasing04:16
klepasgood04:16
mhznow, 04:16
mhzlast 2 needed standards:04:16
mhz2) Avoid subpages04:17
mhzwhy?04:17
mhzklepas: why d you think I say s?04:17
mhzso04:17
klepasjust to make clear04:17
mhz(sorry for my 'o's04:17
klepassub pages are:04:17
klepas"/Artwork/UbuntuArtwork04:17
mhzPascal/PascalKlein04:17
klepasfor example?04:17
mhzyup04:17
klepasah, good04:17
klepasWhy should we avoid these?04:18
mhzor PascalKlein/MyMon04:18
klepasi would think that it would be a good thing04:18
mhzhehehe04:18
mhzevery wiki newie thinks so04:18
mhz:D04:18
klepasespecially since it is what we want to do with /Artwork04:18
mhzExample:04:18
mhzwe have a wiki site about Australian families04:19
mhzHow would you make the homepage for your family? What page name would it be?04:19
klepas"/KleinFamily" probably?04:19
mhzokis04:20
mhzblabla.org/KleinFamily04:20
mhzok?04:20
klepasyes04:20
mhznow04:20
mhzLets' say we have 300 hundred Klein people04:20
klepaslol, yep04:20
mhzfrom 90 diff families04:21
mhzwhat name will your family page be?04:21
klepaswhy not make it the /Klein04:22
mhzok,04:22
mhzlet's try the klein04:22
mhzKlein04:22
mhzsorry04:22
klepasand from then /Klein/BlahKlein04:22
klepasfor each family?04:22
mhzok04:22
mhzTo show you04:23
mhzat http://localhost:8080/04:23
mhzMake your page http://localhost:8080/Klein04:23
mhzplease04:23
mhzChoose no template04:23
klepasyes04:23
klepasjust some plain text?04:23
mhzyes04:24
mhzwhatever04:24
klepasdone04:24
klepassave04:24
mhzthis is only a test04:24
mhzok04:24
mhzwe see a nice Klein page?04:24
klepasyes04:24
mhzok04:24
mhznow, http://localhost:8080/Zamora04:25
mhzplease04:25
klepasnew page as well?04:25
mhzyup04:25
klepasdone04:25
mhznow, edit Klein page04:26
mhzand write blablabla Zamora blah.04:26
mhzand save04:26
klepasdone04:26
mhzis Zamora considered a link?04:27
klepasno04:28
klepasno CamelCase04:28
mhznow, http://localhost:8080/Klein and edit it 04:28
klepasyes04:28
mhzusing PascalKlein on the body, somewhere04:28
klepas[http://localhost:808/Zamora Zamora]  ?04:29
mhznope04:29
klepasok04:29
klepasadded PascalKlein04:29
klepasand saved04:29
mhzdoes it show as link?04:29
klepasyes; it's CamelCase :)04:29
mhzedit same Klein page04:30
klepasyep04:30
klepasadd what04:30
mhzand add ["Zamora"] 04:30
klepasah, lovely04:31
klepasbut this should be avoided entirely, no?04:31
mhz1st question: which way is it faster?04:31
klepasCamelCase04:31
mhz2nd question:04:31
mhzdo you know what Zampra is?04:31
mhzZamora04:31
klepasso this is why the /Artwork idea isn't so good04:32
mhzZamora04:32
klepasit's not your last name is it?04:32
klepas:o)04:32
mhzYes04:32
mhzbut what if you just did not know04:32
klepasMauricio Hermandez Zamora :)04:32
mhzexactly04:32
mhz:)04:32
klepaswhat do i do if i do not know?04:33
mhzwhat if we are 300 Klein people writing about our families04:33
klepaserrm. Use 300 different wiki pages04:33
mhzand we have potential words that could have been aoutomagically linked to existing pages04:33
klepasbecause a central /Klein page would still be too confusing04:33
mhzbut they were not autolinked because we did not use camel casing04:33
mhzWikis are meant to be 'flat', 'horizontal'04:34
klepasand whenever someone tries to refer to a certain Foobar Klein no one will know wo whom they are referring too04:34
mhzexactly04:34
klepasyep04:34
klepaswhen are subpages applicable?04:34
mhzif we keeep a wiki 'flat' then we have more chances to get autolinked04:34
mhzwehn we dont care about 'autolinks' or04:35
klepasokay04:35
mhzwhen we have a responsible editors group taking care 04:35
klepasso, here's the bombshell question04:35
mhzof such things04:35
klepaswhat would you propose04:35
klepasto do with the /Artwork wiki pages?04:35
klepas:)04:36
mhzdifficult to answer04:36
mhzI guess04:36
mhzthat we have to find the most general stuff common to all artwork projects04:36
klepasokay04:37
mhz(logo, theme, palletes, etc)04:37
klepasand make seperate /UbuntuArtwork, /KubuntuArtwork pages04:37
mhzand then, only then, create maybe one or two (no more) sblevels04:37
klepasand then the unfied stuff goes into /SplashScreens for example?04:37
mhzor04:37
klepasmmhh04:37
mhzwe could have no unification at all04:39
klepasmhh04:39
mhzor04:39
klepasi think we could just stick with what we've decided now04:39
klepasbut i guess if this new proposal for the wiki does not work out we can always change it04:39
mhzif we know that we'll have some people responsible for each falvour's pages, we could04:40
klepasyep04:40
mhzjust take care of linking to that flaovurs homepage04:40
klepaswell i am happy to do Ubunut, Kubuntu and maybe even some Edubuntu04:40
klepas:)04:40
klepas*Ubuntu04:40
mhzor04:41
mhzI'd be very happy to see04:41
mhzXubuntuArtworkSplashScreen04:41
mhzXubuntuArtworkLogo04:41
mhzXubuntuArtworkTheme04:41
mhzXubuntuArtworkColorPallete04:41
mhzetc04:41
klepasmhh04:41
klepassounds a bit tedious04:42
mhzLooong KISS and tedious when writing04:42
mhzbut believe me...04:42
mhzend users will immediately get the idea where they are heading04:42
mhzand the good thing is..04:42
klepasyeah, true04:42
klepaswell, how about04:42
mhzwe can make those links to show up Xubuntu Artwork Logo04:43
klepaswe go through with the proposal that we agreed04:43
mhzintead of sticky04:43
klepasand then, if we wish to change it at a later stage, we will04:43
mhzcurrent proposal involves many subpages04:44
mhzso if you dont know the path to them..04:44
mhzhow will you get there?04:44
klepasthat is one thing we want to make sure remains easy04:45
klepaswe want to set out /Artwork really well04:45
mhzexactly04:45
klepasso anyone who is unsure will be able to find it still quickly04:45
mhztoday04:45
mhzif you have no subpages04:45
mhzand write on the search area04:45
mhzpascal and hit 'enter'04:46
mhzyou will 100% see all pages having pascal on their title04:46
klepasso if we have /Artwork/UbuntuArtwork/Splash04:46
klepasand you do a search for 'splash"04:46
klepaswill you find /Artwork/UbuntuArtwork/Splash04:46
mhzit will probably get you there but it will take MUCH more to get it04:47
mhzbecause it 1st reads the top level pages04:47
mhzthen subpages04:47
mhzremember it's a wiki engine04:47
klepasyes04:47
klepasalright04:48
klepasi understand now the pros and cons of using subpages04:48
mhzand when you edit a page and want to link it to 'splash' of Ubuntu, how would you know that's the path?04:48
klepasyea04:48
klepaswell, for now it has to wait04:48
mhzyup04:48
klepaswe want to fix the wiki first04:48
klepasin the manner agreed at the meeting04:48
mhzyes04:48
klepasmhh04:48
klepas"#redirect ArtworkTodoProposal04:48
klepas:)04:48
mhzbut we gotta make a proposal04:49
klepasi think i will be able to change it04:49
mhzand I am 'wasted' tired04:49
mhzso, my brain is not letting me be clear as i should04:49

artnayeverything fine after NYE? :)12:32
artnaywell, actually I read the log and it seemed none of you were online back then :)12:33
artnayklepas: did you take a look at the log?12:33
artnayhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtWorkWikiStructureProposal12:33
artnayI discussed about that one earlier12:33
artnayI mainly wondered why there was a section for each of us12:35
artnayand why isn't that page mentioned at /Artwork12:35
artnayso we all could build the structure, not just the three of us.12:35
artnaywe could discuss here on IRC and make the changes to one proposal12:35
artnayor do we need separate sections?12:36
klepasartnay: now's not a great time for me12:37
artnaywe still do have a meeting on 5th?12:37
klepasi need to go soon12:37
klepasbut yea12:37
artnayI'll edit /Artwork12:37
klepascheck that voting page again for the meeting stuff12:37
klepaswe're voting for either Thursday or Friday12:37

klepasor and check /Artwork12:38
klepasi've changed the redirect12:38
klepasand now it's a blank page plus some quick writting from me12:39
klepasso we can begin the restructuring12:39
artnayeh12:39
artnaywhy isn't information on /ArtworkTodoProposal listed there?12:39
artnaythat's unnecessary12:39
artnayduh, /Artwork doesn't even have a mention of /ArtworkTodoProposal12:40
lukacuhello klepas, artnay12:40
klepassorry12:40
artnayso how on earth are people to supposed vote for the next date? :o12:40
klepaswe need to start this restructuring12:40
klepaswhile we're doing that we can link to the proposal12:40
artnaywell is /Artwork your proposal?12:40
lukacuklepas: send it on my maillist address12:40
klepasyep12:41
klepasisn't that what we agreed on?12:41
klepasi just copied what we had in the wiki section of the proposal12:41
klepasand altered it a wee bit12:41
artnayI though you'd use https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtWorkWikiStructureProposal12:41
artnay+t12:42
artnaynevermind12:42
artnayit's only getting uglier than ever ;)12:42
artnaybut hey, let's chat more when you have time for that12:43
klepasyep12:43
artnayI'll update /ArtworkTodoProposal, could you update /Artwork to contain a link to /ArtworkTodoProposal12:43
klepassadly that will be in a fair while12:43
klepasyes12:43
artnaycool12:43
klepasfeel free to start working on /Artwork12:43
artnayyou still have plenty of time12:44
artnayto sleep, I mean12:44
artnay3 hours is enough for everybody12:44
klepasless than 5 hours12:44
artnayx) x)12:44
klepaslol12:44
klepaswe should also make the page /ArtWork rather than /Artwork12:46
klepasfor CamelCase linking12:46
klepasanyway12:46
artnaysure, why not12:46
artnaybut first of all, the structure has to be ideal12:47
artnaythen do these "minor changes" that affect usability12:47
artnaywell, actually it should be done simultaneosly12:47
klepasyep12:48
klepasi'll work more on it later12:48
artnayhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtworkTodoProposal12:48

AndyFitzit was held in #ubuntu-meeting ?01:06
artnayAndyFitz: yes, it was01:06
artnayalthough there wasn't much artwork team members present, but we still got a few things straight01:07
artnaylike building wiki structure (and we're supposed to renew it before the next meeting, quite tight schedule), renewing AUC, trying to build a better information channel between canonical and artwork team (to get AUC done right and to get that branding guide finally)01:08
artnayAndyFitz: how's your LCA presentation?01:10
AndyFitzartnay  it will be fun01:16
AndyFitzfontforge may have a bigger mention than I thought it should have  but hey I guess I'm in love with an ugly app01:17
artnayhehe, never tried that one01:23
artnayso is LCA webcasted?01:24
artnayhttp://www.livejournal.com/users/cniehaus/12822.html - nice, I've never understood how all those materials are utilized and in which technologies etc.01:28
