mptthanks pochu, sorry I can't fix it, but I don't know which of two possible fixes to use, and no Translations hackers are awake to tell me01:30
pochumpt: you can try one, and if it doesn't work, then use the other :)01:30
pochumpt: anyway, that's not a critical bug ;)01:31
mptOh, they'd both work, but they might work for too many people, or for not enough people.01:31

mptpochu, w.r.t. bug 89043, you can use "Edit description/tags" to make a bug report's description better (e.g. saying that the bug occurs for products, distributions, and projects, not just products)01:37

carlosmdke: we had a meeting with users on Wednesday and we had the compromise to open Feisty + 1 around 4 months before release09:20

ddaaanybody else thinks that forums in launchpad would be a good idea?11:02
beunoddaa: only if they are connected with ubuntuforums.org11:03
beunoI think adding a new one would duplicate efforts11:03
ddaathat's an interesting point11:03
gnomefreakits a good idea IMHO11:03
ddaapersonally, I have never seen forums used as tool for communication between developers11:04
ddaadevelopers tend to be very busy people and favor mailing lists11:04
gnomefreaktrue11:04
beunoddaa: true, but the users to use it, so maybe it's a good place to see what users are talking about for a specific bug, and what workarounds they've been givin11:04
ddaabeuno: the answers tracker is intended to do that11:04
lifelessddaa: the reprap devs seem to prefer forums11:05
FujitsuThe developers I know all loathe fora. Mailing lists are better.11:05
ddaalifeless: reprap?11:05
lifelessddaa: open hardware 3d printer11:05
beunoddaa: yes, but to common users *use* launchpad?11:05
gnomefreaki personally think a LP forum would be a great idea atleast more controled than ubuntuforums11:05
beunothis would bring the best of both worlds, create a new thread for each bug  :D11:05
ddaabeuno: the point of the answer tracker is to give a place for common users to chime in11:05
lifelessbeuno: yes they do11:06
ddaapersonally, I find forums an horrible medium11:06
gnomefreakddaa: i dont use them because of the crap on them11:06
ddaabut I reckon that ubuntuforums is a great knowledge base11:06
ddaagoogle often leads me there11:06
beunowell, 250k+ users on them seem to disagree ddaa  :p11:07
ddaaabout half the tips I find there are wrong at some level, but it's still a great help.11:07
lifelessAIUI we're planning more integration with ubuntuforums rather than lp specific forums11:07
ddaabeuno: numbers are irrelevant11:08
lifelessbut it may be we need forums for the non-ubuntu projects on launchpad11:08
ddaabeuno: something about the majority of german voters in the early forties amply demonstrated that.11:08
lifelesswhoa11:08
beunoddaa: I agree, I'm just a big forum user  :D11:08
lifelessthis thread is dead11:08
ddaalifeless: I'm not calling anybody fascist :)11:09
ddaajust pointing out that a lot of people can be wrong, and sometimes for good reasons11:09
beunoddaa: I absolutely agree, but it's not opinions we're measuring here, but actual user usage, right?11:10
FujitsuI'd hope that the forums would be implemented only as a last resort (ie. after every other conceivable feature), if ever.11:10
beunosi if you've got over 250k+ users using the forums, they seem to be an important tool, right?11:10
gnomefreakimportant or just for chatter?11:11
ddaabeuno: if only 0.1% of all developers want to go within 1 mile of a forum, it's not a good tool for bridging communication barriers11:11
ddaaand launchpad is about bridges11:11
=== gnomefreak rather use sidewalk
beunoddaa: agreed11:11
ddaaI kinda like the approach of the answer tracker11:11
ddaait look enough like a forum for users not be afraid of it11:12
beunomaybe adding relevant forum threads to bugs?  just links?11:12
ddaaand it looks enough NOT like a form, for devel not to be afraid of it :)11:12
beunoit would be manually, but maybe it would be a comprimise and easy to implement11:12
ddaabeuno: that might be a good idea. lifeless said something about integration with ubuntuforums, I'm not aware of this plan, but generally any plan in launchpad involves linking with bugs :)11:13
beunoddaa: maybe the links could go both ways,  bug =>  link with thread and thread => link with bug?11:14
beunointegrate launchpad into de forums11:14
ddaa*shrug* well, maybe11:14
beunoit could show basic data like if the bug is solved11:14
ddaaI do not really want to feel about it, TBH11:14
ddaas/feel/think/11:14
beunoand that would be a way to bridge users to developers, and not the other way around  :D11:14
beunoaah, ok11:14
=== beuno shuts up
ddaabeuno: I did not mean to be dismissive11:15
ddaajust pointing out I'm not the right person to be braindumping on.11:15
ddaaI take note there is substantial interest out there in better integration with ubuntuforums.11:15
beunoyeap yeap, not ofended, just followed through your question11:15
beunomaybe too much11:15
ddaaBut as I do not use forums myself, and as I do develop on the bug tracker, I cannot really be pertinent.11:16
ddaaesp. since forums mostly give me the creeps (probably my fault)11:16
beunoddaa: maybe a small meeting with ubuntu-geek would help?11:16
beunothere would have to be an API of some sort on launchpad's side to feed the info to ubuntuforums11:17
beunoand a "relevant forum threads" or "information" on launchpad itself11:17
ddaabeuno: you got a lead here11:17
ddaabeuno: if you can frame that problem in terms of "Launcphad API", you'll probably get more attention than if you frame it in terms of "forums in launchpad".11:18
=== barry is now known as barry-away
beunoI'll take note of that11:18
beunoyou think it's worth creating a specification in launchpad and start poking people?11:19
=== Rinchen [n=Joey@ubuntu/member/rinchen] has joined #launchpad
ddaabeuno: the way the spec tracker currently works, and considering that normal people do not have access to the internals11:19
ddaait's probably better to leave launchpad speccing to employees11:19
ddaabut it's definitely worth discussing on launchpad-users11:20
ddaaat least, personally, I would not really know what to do with a user-submitted spec...11:20
beunowell, it's on your side then  :D11:20
ddaawell, I could elaborate on the why, but I'm not sure it would be very interesting11:21
ddaabut if you open the discussion on launcphad users11:21
ddaayou can easily attract attention11:22
beunogotcha, email to the mailing list it is11:22
beunoI'll make sure to use "Launchpad API" a few times  :D11:22
ddaatry to start from the basics (what, who, why)11:22
LaserJockddaa: could a user register a spec for LP?11:22
ddaaand not just to the implementation11:22
LaserJockddaa: and just not use the Launchpad wiki11:22
ddaaLaserJock: presumably yes11:23
ddaaa launchpad spec could be on the ubuntu wiki and get all the good integration with notification to subscribers11:23
ddaabut it would be awkyard IMO11:23
LaserJockyeah, I came across that11:23
ddaabecause of the public/private aspect11:24
ddaaalso because the launchpad spec workflow is probably very different to the ubuntu spec workflow11:24
LaserJockbut initially it could be done on the Ubuntu wiki (or anywere) and then moved to the LP wiki once it gets to the LP side?11:24
ddaaLaserJock: I could imagine that, it would probably turn into two specs actually11:25
ddaathat would get awkyard11:25
LaserJockyeah11:25
ddaaActually, I think that sucks11:26
ddaaI wish we had a self contained spec tracker, where specs could have public and restricted sections11:26
ddaathat would make this sort of situation much more manageable11:26
LaserJockit'd be cool if you could just have wiki macros that would make certain parts private11:26
kikoddaa, we're moving in that direction11:27
=== ddaa back to hacking on branch-delete
kikocool!11:30
kikoI love deletion11:30
ddaakiko: it's turning out a huge can of worms, as expected11:30
beunook, I'll write the email as clearly and discussion-inducing as possible  :p11:30
ddaayay! that's the spirit11:30
beunoddaa: I'm learning!11:31
ddaaonline communication is hard11:31
FujitsuDo Launchpad and delete go together in the same sentence!? I didn't think they did.11:31
ddaaFujitsu: working on it...11:31
kikoFujitsu, we try harder11:32
ddaabeuno: sometimes you need to hold back on some ideas you have, so people do not start focusing on small details from the beginning.11:32
beunoyeah, usually just makes things go in circles instead of forward11:33
beunoit's hard to choose with which ones to go though11:33
ddaaoften, it pays off to start very general (the what), then get to yours ideas about how when people challenge you with something like "that's an interesting idea" :)11:35
ddaawhich actually means "yeah right, but how do you propose doing it?"11:35
=== sinzui is now known as sinzui_was
ddaaif people actually have some ideas about how, they get a chance to say them before you lay down your plan11:36
beunoddaa: it's the first time I've hear/seen it layed out so clearly, I completely agree11:37
beunolet's see how it goes  ;)11:37
ddaabest of luck11:38
beunothanks, and I expect you will help me make the idea clearer if I don't do a good job  :p11:39
ddaalifeless: you can get out from under this rock11:42
ddaanobody got flamed11:42
beunohahah11:42
beunoit's time to go home, thanks for the guidance ddaa  :D11:42
=== ddaa can't believe somebody just thanked him for guidance on communication skills...
beunoI try to take the best out of everything!11:43
beunoand you did point me to the right direction so...11:43
ddaaI'm not exactly know for communication skils in this company...11:44
ddaaactually, when I got in, I was very good at making people angry.11:44
lifelessddaa: actually, you are known for you communication skills :)11:44
ddaahu11:44
ddaayeah, right... in a "don't do that" sort of way11:44
