agyHello all. I am going to be migrating the help.ubuntu.com wiki in about 15 minutes. During this time the wiki will be marked as read-only. The migration should take approximately 45 minutes to complete.10:47
agyThe wiki syntax has changed a little bit, but not drastically - the migration scripts will migrate the pages to this new syntax, however I expect that it might not format everything correctly10:48
agyStarted the upgrade - the help.ubuntu.com wiki is now set to read-only mode.11:02
Rocket2DMnok11:04
Rocket2DMnis this a new version of MoinMoin or something?11:04
agyMoinMoin 1.611:04
Rocket2DMndo you have a link to major changes?>11:04
agyhttp://hg.moinmo.in/moin/1.6/raw-file/1.6.3/docs/CHANGES11:05
agyand we've implemented openid authentication against launchpad11:05
Rocket2DMnok, are we going to need to check pages for syntax and formatting errors?11:06
Rocket2DMnlike, do we know what types of things will most likely be affected?11:06
agyyes please - during my tests there were only minor problems11:07
agythe syntax problems i found was with the source code blocks '{{{ }}}'11:08
Rocket2DMn!ping | Old_Soldier , read above FYI11:09
agyonly on a few select pages11:09
Rocket2DMnthanks agy, what exactly was going on with those, b/c they are used all over the place11:09
agyit now requires a space after the open brackets11:09
agyi.e. '{{{ code }}}' works, but '{{{code }}}' doesn't11:09
Rocket2DMnoh my11:11
Rocket2DMnwill the docteam receive an email about this?11:11
Rocket2DMnwhy not run a script that finds those type of entries in pages and fixes them automatically?11:15
agyi can send one - which list should i send too?11:15
Rocket2DMnagy, ubuntu-doc : https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-doc11:16
agyi will send the message after the migration is complete, thanks11:16
Rocket2DMnno, thank you11:17
Rocket2DMnit would be nice if we can run a script to automatically fix the problems, or at least prompt the admin running it for each instance.  i really don't think it's feasible for us to search through and fix every page by hand11:17
agyRocket2DMn: doing that right now while i wait for the data to be converted11:18
Rocket2DMnwhat? the email or the script?11:18
agyscript11:19
Rocket2DMnvery groovy.  this team has enough trouble trying to keep the wiki up to date, not to mention doing minor page fixes.  we appreciate it11:19
Rocket2DMnok agy , its 3:30am here, im heading out.  Thanks for the update on the wiki upgrades.  Please let us know by email of any other problems that are likely to appear.  Good night.11:28
agyThe migration has been completed! Please let me know if you notice any obvious issues?11:33
agyI will mail the mailing list with the announcement11:33
wallani'm wanting to add the elisa media center to the multimedia applications pages, but there isn't a section for media centers. anybody got any ideas?13:02
wallanthis one, mainly: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications13:03
wallanalso, i'd like to delete this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Elisa13:06
wallananyone know how to do that?13:06
bimberiwallan: Feel free to add a section to MultimediaApplications.13:16
bimberiwallan: I can delete the page, but wouldn't it be better just to modify its content.13:17
bimberi?13:17
wallancool, i'll add the section13:18
wallanyes, i could just modify it13:19
wallani thought deleting it might be neater... but maybe it isn't a very wiki-spirited13:19
wallan:)13:19
bimberi:)13:19
bimberiIn fact, how about Elisa becomes your content, and you link to it from MultimediaApplications.13:20
bimberiJust an idea.13:20
wallanwhat do you mean 'becomes your content'? i've added a new Elisa page here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ElisaMediaCenter13:22
wallanshould i just link to that?13:23
wallan:s13:23
sommeragy: nice job on the upgrade, thank you :)13:24
agysommer: np - pls let me know what issues you find13:25
bimberiwallan: Try going to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Elisa now :)13:31
bimberiwallan: By 'becomes your content' I meant that you replace what's on it with your page.  No need though.  What you've done is great imo.  I've just made 'Elisa' redirect to it instead.13:32
wallanbimberi: thanks, the redirect works. ElisaMediaCenter is a better page name than just Elisa14:31
bimberiwallan: Indeed. np :)14:32
wallan:)14:35
