ds305A couple of questions about uploading wiki graphics, if someone can answer.22:18
mdkesure22:18
mdkewe can try :)22:19
ds305Hey, first, I enjoyed your presentation. I couldn't make it live but logged on just before it started and just reviewed it.22:19
mdkegreat, I'm very pleased you enjoyed it22:19
ds305I'm on the BT and wiki focus group with Rocket. Last summer I did a major revision of the repositories wiki.22:19
mdkecool, good to have you on board and nice to meet you22:20
ds305Questions about pic uploads. First, it there a standard naming convention for the uploaded graphics?22:20
mdkeno, not currently22:20
ds305I ended up naming them several ways and felt it was really inefficient.22:20
mdkedo you think that it would be helpful?22:20
ds305Well, as a new wiki editor I had no clue about naming conventions.22:21
nhandlermdke: Are the picture names used in enough places to actually matter?22:21
mdkenormally the image is just used once, on a specific page22:21
ds305As I learned I was revising them a lot and uploaded a bunch before I was satisfied. Apparently you can't replace one that is already posted?22:21
mdkeoccasionally we have icons that get reused though22:21
mdkeds305: to replace one, you have to delete it and reupload, I think22:22
ds305I wasn't able to delete. Is that limited to mods or whomever?22:22
ds305That was one of the things I felt badly about - keep uploading minor variations of the same thing.22:22
mdkehmm22:23
ds305Of course, now I know enough to get it right the first time.  (Well, maybe the second).22:23
mdkedo you have a "del" button on the left of the attachments here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IconsPage?action=AttachFile22:24
ds305No, just get and view.22:24
mdkeok, I guess it's limited then22:24
mdkethat's a bit of a shame22:24
ds305So it must be limited.22:24
mdkewe should look into changing that22:24
ds305I can understand why just anyone can't delete a graphic, but if you saw the list on the repositories wiki I bet I had version 7 of some of the first ones. ;-)22:25
mdkewell, I think it's reasonable to allow anyone to delete them22:25
ds305Perhaps you can bring it up to whoever decides those things.22:26
ds305And I promise if I get the power I will delete about 30 uploads. :-)22:26
mdkewe can take the decision as a team22:26
mdkethe tricky bit is to get the admins of the server to make the change22:27
mdkeand to figure out how to do it :)22:27
ds305Implementation is usually harder than coming up with an idea.22:27
ds305Thanks for your time.22:27
mdkeyeah22:27
mdkethanks for yours!22:27
