[11:33] <yeager|> mdke, do you know anything about the Firefox start page?
[15:33] <cr3> hi folks. I would like to submit a change to hwtest before release and pitti suggested I come here for your approval.
[15:34] <cr3> the problem is that the current release of hwtest submits information such as installed packages without the knowledge of the user.
[15:35] <cr3> this has resulted in bug #201336 in which someone says "Wow! This pisses me off!" and "I don't tolerate this kind of !@#$".
[15:35] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 201336 in hwtest "report contains package information" [Undecided,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/201336
[15:36] <cr3> so, I have fixed the problem by showing a summary of the information before submission. this is nothing detailed, just a simple summary: The following information will be sent [blah blah]. Distribution details, Device information, Processor information, Packages installed, Test results.
[15:52] <cr3> what pitti needs from you folks is basically your approval (or disapproval :) to get this change into hardy :)
[15:59] <sommer> cr3: this channel is usually pretty quite, you'll probably have more luck sending a message to the doc ml
[15:59] <sommer> additionally some key members of the doc team aren't on irc very much, if at all
[16:02] <cr3> sommer: thanks for the tip, I have just sent a message to the ml
[16:02] <cr3> (time is of the essence :)
[16:04] <sommer> cr3: ya, usually this channel has the most traffic after business hours in Europe and North America :)
[16:05] <jjesse> hello sommer
[16:05] <sommer> hey jjesse
[16:05] <cr3> sommer: nice, dedicated folks working after work :)
[16:06] <jjesse> we actually have no life :)
[16:07] <sommer> heh, I concur
[16:07] <sommer> cr3: just read the email, your proposal looks good to me
[16:08] <jjesse> looks good to me
[16:08] <sommer> probably want to wait for someone who knows more about translations than I do though
[16:08] <sommer> I'd think that'd be the biggest issue at this point... so close to release and all
[16:11] <cr3> sommer: that's not really my call whether it should be included so late in the release, but I thought that pissing people off might be worth mentionnning
[16:12] <sommer> cr3: heh, sure
[16:14] <cr3> sommer: if I had to choose between not having a summary of the submitted information and not having translations for that summary, I'd go for the latter. It's not the best kind of situation but I think it limits damages the most :(
[16:15] <sommer> cr3: I agree, makes sense to me
[17:27] <kirkland> mdke: fyi, i worked on the doc search a little more this weekend, fleshing out the wiki page, launchpad blueprint, etc.
[17:27] <kirkland> mdke: I also created a FF/IE browser search plugin, installable from the search page
[17:27] <kirkland> mdke: and customized the Ubuntu logo for some eye candy ;-)
