[10:47] <agy> Hello 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.
[10:48] <agy> The 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 correctly
[11:02] <agy> Started the upgrade - the help.ubuntu.com wiki is now set to read-only mode.
[11:04] <Rocket2DMn> ok
[11:04] <Rocket2DMn> is this a new version of MoinMoin or something?
[11:04] <agy> MoinMoin 1.6
[11:04] <Rocket2DMn> do you have a link to major changes?>
[11:05] <agy> http://hg.moinmo.in/moin/1.6/raw-file/1.6.3/docs/CHANGES
[11:05] <agy> and we've implemented openid authentication against launchpad
[11:06] <Rocket2DMn> ok, are we going to need to check pages for syntax and formatting errors?
[11:06] <Rocket2DMn> like, do we know what types of things will most likely be affected?
[11:07] <agy> yes please - during my tests there were only minor problems
[11:08] <agy> the syntax problems i found was with the source code blocks '{{{ }}}'
[11:09] <Rocket2DMn> !ping | Old_Soldier , read above FYI
[11:09] <agy> only on a few select pages
[11:09] <Rocket2DMn> thanks agy, what exactly was going on with those, b/c they are used all over the place
[11:09] <agy> it now requires a space after the open brackets
[11:09] <agy> i.e. '{{{ code }}}' works, but '{{{code }}}' doesn't
[11:11] <Rocket2DMn> oh my
[11:11] <Rocket2DMn> will the docteam receive an email about this?
[11:15] <Rocket2DMn> why not run a script that finds those type of entries in pages and fixes them automatically?
[11:15] <agy> i can send one - which list should i send too?
[11:16] <Rocket2DMn> agy, ubuntu-doc : https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-doc
[11:16] <agy> i will send the message after the migration is complete, thanks
[11:17] <Rocket2DMn> no, thank you
[11:17] <Rocket2DMn> it 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 hand
[11:18] <agy> Rocket2DMn: doing that right now while i wait for the data to be converted
[11:18] <Rocket2DMn> what? the email or the script?
[11:19] <agy> script
[11:19] <Rocket2DMn> very groovy.  this team has enough trouble trying to keep the wiki up to date, not to mention doing minor page fixes.  we appreciate it
[11:28] <Rocket2DMn> ok 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.
[11:33] <agy> The migration has been completed! Please let me know if you notice any obvious issues?
[11:33] <agy> I will mail the mailing list with the announcement
[13:02] <wallan> i'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?
[13:03] <wallan> this one, mainly: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications
[13:06] <wallan> also, i'd like to delete this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Elisa
[13:06] <wallan> anyone know how to do that?
[13:16] <bimberi> wallan: Feel free to add a section to MultimediaApplications.
[13:17] <bimberi> wallan: I can delete the page, but wouldn't it be better just to modify its content.
[13:17] <bimberi> ?
[13:18] <wallan> cool, i'll add the section
[13:19] <wallan> yes, i could just modify it
[13:19] <wallan> i thought deleting it might be neater... but maybe it isn't a very wiki-spirited
[13:19] <wallan> :)
[13:19] <bimberi> :)
[13:20] <bimberi> In fact, how about Elisa becomes your content, and you link to it from MultimediaApplications.
[13:20] <bimberi> Just an idea.
[13:22] <wallan> what do you mean 'becomes your content'? i've added a new Elisa page here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ElisaMediaCenter
[13:23] <wallan> should i just link to that?
[13:23] <wallan> :s
[13:24] <sommer> agy: nice job on the upgrade, thank you :)
[13:25] <agy> sommer: np - pls let me know what issues you find
[13:31] <bimberi> wallan: Try going to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Elisa now :)
[13:32] <bimberi> wallan: 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.
[14:31] <wallan> bimberi: thanks, the redirect works. ElisaMediaCenter is a better page name than just Elisa
[14:32] <bimberi> wallan: Indeed. np :)
[14:35] <wallan> :)
