[05:14] <svaksha> if an event for the same team occurs twice in one day , do I post it separately or not ? anyone around to clear this?
[07:57] <svaksha> The admin/modules has "contact" - Enables the use of personal contact forms. Can this be enabled to allow people to contact us via email ?
[07:59] <LaserJock> possibly
[08:00] <svaksha> do you think its a good idea to enable that ? possible issues : spam
[08:03] <svaksha> If its enabled , will it affect all the editors? i dont want to do that without asking other ed's
[08:05] <LaserJock> thanks
[08:05] <LaserJock> there's a lot more that can be done too
[08:05] <LaserJock> I just gotta pace myself
[08:05] <LaserJock> ;_)
[08:05] <LaserJock> :-) rather
[08:16] <LaserJock> svaksha: I tried enabling it on my site
[08:16] <LaserJock> and it seems to only provide a contact form for logged in users
[08:18] <svaksha> ...hmmm, not sure i understand what is :a contact form for logged in users
[08:19] <LaserJock> like, it only presented the contact form menu item when a user was logged in to drupal
[08:20] <LaserJock> so for instance I could contact you, etc.
[08:20] <svaksha> ok, say , i am logged in now, then how will a reader get in touch with me ?
[08:20] <svaksha> or is it between admins
[08:20] <LaserJock> it's between logged in users
[08:20] <LaserJock> if we had more than just admins it'd be useful
[08:21] <svaksha> hmm...so its only for admins
[08:21] <LaserJock> well, you can have more than just admins in drupal
[08:21] <svaksha> iirc, we all have same privs
[08:21] <LaserJock> well, that's just by design
[08:21] <svaksha> so all are admins, supereds
[08:21] <svaksha> yep
[08:21] <LaserJock> you could have readers sign up too
[08:21] <svaksha> that was not within the original design of the fridge
[08:22] <svaksha> that is what i learnt ....
[08:22] <LaserJock> sure, I don't think it's a good idea
[08:22] <LaserJock> but I'm saying that's one way the contact form thingy would work
[08:22] <svaksha> yep
[08:22] <LaserJock> but it's a good point
[08:22] <LaserJock> I wonder if we could have some sort of email address/contact form
[08:23] <svaksha> i too dislike the spammy/flamey nature of digg and slashdot, its like people cant have different opinions without others pounding them.
[08:23] <svaksha> we do have the fridge-devel, and open list anyone can post to
[08:23] <LaserJock> it's entirely unobvious how a person would give feedback or even contribute a story
[08:23] <svaksha> s/and/an
[08:23] <LaserJock> but you have to know fridge-devel exists
[08:24] <svaksha> yep we keep publicising that , yet few volunteers send us stories.
[08:24] <LaserJock> there is nothing on fridge itself, that I can see
[08:24] <svaksha> usually its just links so one of the eds has to go read, write and then do some work on it
[08:24] <svaksha> :) kinda longish but then.....
[08:25] <LaserJock> well, maybe I can hit up some MOTUs for some stories
[08:25] <svaksha> we have done stories in the past but it gets bumped down and people forget.
[08:26] <LaserJock> and I'm hoping to get some good stuff from some Edubuntu people
[08:26] <svaksha> http://fridge.ubuntu.com/about
[08:26] <LaserJock> the main guy I'm thinking of is in Kenya on vacation at the moment though
[08:26] <svaksha> hey that would be so cool
[08:26] <LaserJock> hehe
[08:26] <svaksha> :)
[08:27] <LaserJock> well, I gotta take off for the night
[08:27] <LaserJock> I might get a story in tomorrow
[08:27] <svaksha> last year one of the Motu's mentioned that they dont have the time so I didnt think it was nice to bug them
[08:27] <svaksha> hey before you leave, what do you think of doing a small course for ubuntu-women
[08:27] <LaserJock> depends on the MOTU I guess
[08:28] <LaserJock> me doing it?
[08:28] <svaksha> i was going to mail you about it but this is better
[08:28] <LaserJock> what subject?
[08:28] <svaksha> no, they are very advanced, what i am thinking is more simpler stuff...prolly i shall mail you and you can think about it
[08:29] <svaksha> yes you Jordan
[08:29] <svaksha> can i mail you ? i am working on the same thing now so ....
[08:30] <LaserJock> yes, email me
[08:30] <LaserJock> gotta run
[08:30] <LaserJock> good night
[08:30] <svaksha> thanks, goodnight then
[09:11] <svaksha> currently the admins dont have a visible login block, would'nt it be nicer to have that on the main page?
[09:12] <svaksha> i see that user login is currently disabled, so is it ok to enable that to allow admins access ?
[09:12] <Burgundavia> we can go to /users fine
[09:12] <Burgundavia> and might I ask who you are?
[09:13] <svaksha> vid, one of the fridge admins
[09:13] <Burgundavia> ahh, oik
[09:13] <Burgundavia> ok, rather
[09:13] <svaksha> :)
[09:14] <Burgundavia> I have never seen your nick, so I was a little bit surprised
[09:14] <Burgundavia> as for login, probably better to leave it as it is
[09:14] <svaksha> its the same as email but then i dont make much noise either:)
[09:15] <Burgundavia> ahh
[09:15] <svaksha> prolly ..but newer ed's sometimes wonder how to login , so i thought this will be nicer
[09:15] <Burgundavia> right
[09:15] <Burgundavia> maybe we should produce a doc on teh wiki about how to edit the Fridge?
[09:16] <svaksha> prolly, but how many times do people read doc's ?
[09:16] <Burgundavia> if we tell them to read them, they will
[09:17] <svaksha> maybe, maybe not since there is so much docu floating around that they are likely to get confused and bogged down even more.
[09:17] <svaksha> what about  "who's new and "who's online"
[09:18] <svaksha> if we enable that then people can see how many people are online and so on
