LirazSirihi guys, I dropped by earlier this week to try to discuss ways to contribute to the UWN team. I proof-read the last version of UWN and figured there might also be other ways I could pitch in...21:39
LirazSiriIs anyone around?21:39
Tumiei'm here now LiraSiri, you can get news, (in the press an dblogospere).. and if you're language isn't only english, you can translate the UWN :)21:44
Tumiegetting news is the most importent part of the UWN21:44
LirazSiriHi tumie, I'm just talking to tyche about that.21:44
LirazSiriwhere do you guys put the news you find? straight into UWN?21:44
LirazSiriI mean the UWN wiki...21:45
tycheI usually work outside of the wiki, in a text file, then copy and paste it into the wiki.21:45
Tumiemaybe we can make an /Incoming page..21:45
LirazSiriwhat are your sources for news?21:46
Tumieevery week make it empty, so everybody can put their news into it21:46
LirazSirithat sounds like a good idea, and then maybe someone in a more editorial role can make a decision about what goes in and what stays out...21:46
tycheEnough of it is segmented that we can work independently.  Links to news articles can be done in sections.  I work from a template I created, partly from the raw wiki, and partly from instructions that I got from johnc451021:47
Tumiei'm just translating the whole thing into dutch21:47
LirazSiriI'm bilingual but the only other language I know is hebrew and I suspect the audience for UWN in hebrew is miniscule.21:48
tycheOne of the reasons that I work in a text file is that the wiki doesn't hold the edit page open for very long.  By working in a text file, I can take as long as I need, then dump it in in just a minute or two.  I also avoid conflicting with others that are working on the UWN at the same time.21:48
LirazSirityche: that sounds like a good approach21:49
