Rinchensince the sponsors are not here, I'll leave that until next week18:15
statikbut thats just my mild opinion18:16

Rinchenstub, how is the replication activity going?18:20
Rinchenstub, we're all excited about it18:20
stubBeen working on it today18:21

RinchenI know about Kiko's request for the wikis.18:23

salgadoif any of the branches you're working on right now  depends on any     library which is not part of the launchpad-dependencies package, come talk to me ASAP.18:25
bigjoolsRinchen: elmo said he would do it after I had a phone call with him, not sure what the status is, but it would be nice to get this for 1.2.318:25

Rinchen[TOPIC] A top user-affecting issue (mrevell)18:26
MootBotNew Topic:  A top user-affecting issue (mrevell)18:26
mrevellhowdy18:27
mrevellI'd like to raise the issue of spam, or other inappropriate cont18:27
mrevelloops18:27
mrevellI'd like to raise the issue of spam, or other inappropriate content, in bug comments. This has come up on launchpad-users and mpt points to bug 45419 (Launchpad needs a way of easily flagging spam).18:27
ubotuLaunchpad bug 45419 in launchpad "Launchpad needs a way of easily flagging spam" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/4541918:27
mrevellSo, I'm wondering if people have noticed more spam in bug comments. mthaddon - as one of the people that deletes spam, have you noticed a change?18:27
herbI know it was driving me a bit crazy last week in mthaddon's absence.18:27
mthaddonmrevell, definitely enough to be annoying (esp. given our current process for dealing with them), but couldn't give you any real statistical evidence18:28
mthaddonbasically I think herb and I would be very happy if this was made a bigger priority18:28
mrevellOkay, cheers guys. I want to try to get a feel for whether this an increasing problem, so I'll keep checking back with you18:28
mthaddonis it possible to get this targeted - it's taking valuable OSA time?18:28
intellectronicamthaddon: maybe as a first step we can make it easier to get rid of a spammy message once it has been identified?18:29
mthaddonintellectronica, that would be a great first step18:29
Rinchenindeed.18:29
mthaddonintellectronica, allowing for administrative editing or deletion of comments would be great18:29
mrevellIs it a big job to implement?18:29
gmbmrevell: I wouldn't have thought so.18:29
herbit would be nice if project admins could police their own projects18:29
flacosteherb: for the moment, we are afraid of censorship18:30
gmbherb: Yes, but it would be easier to make it so that Launchpad admins could do it. We could move onto project admins later.18:30
mrevellOne of the benefits of LP is... oh, flacoste made the point18:30
flacosteherb: so that would require a workflow18:30
Rinchen[AGREED] Need to elevate the priority of allowing administrative editing / deletion of comments to help ease the removal of spam18:30

ubotuLaunchpad bug 45419 in launchpad "Launchpad needs a way of easily flagging spam" [Medium,Confirmed]18:31
stubPeople can already censor if they are running their own trackers18:31
stubI think in reality censorship isn't much of an issue (?)18:31
statikespecially not when LP makes it so easy to fork a project18:32
flacosteif instead of removing comments we hide them18:32
flacosteit would be easy for people to complain and for an admin to unflag them18:33
statik+1 on that idea18:33
gmb+118:33
mthaddonditto18:33
sinzui+118:33
Rinchenour Legal information dictates a policy for this. Censorship is not something we do. https://help.launchpad.net/Legal18:33
Rinchenspam removal is.18:33
flacostethat also solves the problem of comment index moving when removing a comment18:33
stubsure, although if a project maintainer wants to 'garden' comments and we don't let 'em they will go elsewhere.18:33
Rinchenhiding would be a better solution18:33
herbRinchen: but if you give it to the project admins, it's not "us" censoring anything (should that problem arise).18:34
Rinchenindeed18:34
intellectronicaRinchen: hey, someone censored my legitimate comment offering cheap generic medicine as a solution to that bug, i protest! ;-)18:34

Rinchen[TOPIC] Doc Team report (mrevell)18:35
MootBotNew Topic:  Doc Team report (mrevell)18:35
mrevellHey now18:35
stubSelf medication solves many problems.18:35
mrevellI'm both cheap and generic18:35
jtvRinchen: not that kind of "doc"18:35
mrevellI posted some projects  and bugs related material to the team list for your review and would grateful for any comments. This week I've had my head down working solidly on the new user guide and some work on new tour material. I know everyone's busy, but if you could take a look and get back to me with comments, that would be most helpful and enable me to make these new docs live.18:35
mrevellNext week, in between release announcement stuff, I'll be working getting this draft of the new tour finished, ready for review.18:35
mrevellLast week kiko mentioned the idea of each LP team working with me to produce some materials. I'm keen for that to happen and would like to speak to each team lead next week.18:35
statikmrevell: i'm excited to see the new tour, i point people to the tour almost daily18:35
mrevellstatik: Ah great, maybe we should talk early next week.18:36
statikmonday, 4AM!18:36
mrevellstatik: I'd like to know more about what people want from it, that they've told you18:36
mrevellstatik: heh, ideal :)18:36
statikmrevell: anytime next week I'd love to have a call, monday is pretty open18:36
mrevellstatik: I'll send you a calendar invite.18:37
Rinchenmrevell, how is the doc team (i.e. users team) progressing?18:37
RinchenI'm interested to see how well that experiment goes18:37
mrevellRinchen: It's not something I've had time to progress lately, unfortunately. We have people who are interested and have joined the team. Next step is to get an inaugural meeting and let each member know about the mailing list. Neither of which should take me long at all, obviously.18:38
RinchenWeek 0 maybe. Ok, thanks18:38
mrevellYeah, cheers.18:39
Rinchen[TOPIC] login() and "current" requests in doctest (flacoste)18:39
MootBotNew Topic:  login() and "current" requests in doctest (flacoste)18:39
flacostethis is a simple information point18:39
flacostewith the new canonical_url view_name parameter addition18:39
flacostesome of your doc tests may change18:39
flacostethis feature requires that the "current" request (retrieved through get_current_browser_request()) be setup18:40
flacosteotherwise, you'll have AssertionError18:40
flacostethe way to do this is simply to pass a request argument to login() as second parameter18:40
flacostelogin(ANONYMOUS, LaunchpadTestRequest()) will work nicely18:40
flacostethat's it!18:40
Rinchenflacoste, the existing doc tests will be updated?18:41
flacosteyes18:41
flacosteit's only for new doc test18:41
