bapoumbaOK, that's 3 of us, shall we proceed ?22:20
bodhi_zazenyep22:20
bapoumbacool, AI, you're on :)22:20
ArtificialIntellok, thanks.22:21
ArtificialIntellMy proposal regading the UF game forum. As you may know I spend a lot of time moderating and reading the game forum, so I have made some observations.22:22
ArtificialIntellOne of the things; it's hard for the users to find linux related stuff/games for linux/ubuntu due to the heavy posts about non-linux games.22:24
ArtificialIntellA lot of of posts are related to wine or emulators which are ruining the game forum.22:25
bapoumbaShould not these posts be moved to the WINE forum ?22:26
ArtificialIntellOne of the problem was partly solved by making a forum for wine, but it haven't made my job easier though, as a lot of threads I have to move/delete22:27
ArtificialIntellPeople simple don't reads stickies :-P22:27
bapoumbaMaybe we should update the description of the WINE forum22:28
bapoumbaand of the game section as well ?22:28
ArtificialIntellAn option could be "Linux Game" with sub "Native game only"22:28
bodhi_zazenI have always found wine questions difficult as there is a ton of variability across various versions of wine, although I have not used wine in a while22:29
bapoumbaWould changing Gaming & Leasure to Linux Games make iy better for you, AI ?22:29
ArtificialIntellBut my original idea was moving wine as a sub to game forum plus making a sub for for emulators of all kind22:29
bodhi_zazenconfiguring wine + apps (games) is a whole art to itself ;P22:29
bapoumbaor Native Linux Games ?22:30
bapoumbaand everything else pushed to WINE ?22:30
bodhi_zazenI am neutral on the issue, but I would support what you feel would be easiest, but I see a lot of continued thread moving =(22:30
ArtificialIntellPeople would scream if we put everything else in wine22:31
bapoumbaokay22:31
bapoumbawe try to keep the number of section as lox as possible22:31
bapoumbathe structure is already quite complicated ..22:31
ArtificialIntellWhen we're talking emulators it's  c64/PSP/Wii/nintendo etc.22:32
jdongI side with bodhi_zazen on this.... AI, you're the one that's the most experienced with this and I'll trust your judgement22:32
jdongbut from my experience it won't solve any of the thread-moving issues22:32
ArtificialIntellI know, but moving wine from frontpage to sub might uncluttering the frontpage a bit22:33
bapoumbawine is not only for games, is it ?22:33
ArtificialIntellPeople are complaining that native gaming on linux are drowning in emulators/wine/etc22:34
bapoumbaSO what about changing Gmaing & Leasure > Native Linux Games ?22:34
ArtificialIntellaye, bapoumba, but 99% of the question is about gaming with wine22:34
bapoumbaokay22:35
ArtificialIntello should I say I"How do I WoW" LOL :-P22:35
ArtificialIntellIt drove Hika insane I recallled :D22:36
bapoumbaEheh :)22:36
bodhi_zazenHow about a sub section of Linux Native games ?22:36
ArtificialIntellBapoumba, it still doesn't solve the emulator issue22:37
bodhi_zazenrather then splitting off wine ?22:37
ArtificialIntellWhat do you mean?22:37
bodhi_zazenI agree, since most games requiring support are going to be Windows running on Wine ...22:37
bodhi_zazenSo, why not make a linux native gaming section for the linux native games and leave the current section as is ?22:38
bapoumbabodhi_zazen: you mean, top forum = Native Linux Games, Sub forum : Wine and emulators ?22:38
bodhi_zazenJust the opposite bapoumba , top forum = games (which implies wine) Sub Forum Linux native22:38
bapoumbaokay, better :)22:39
bodhi_zazenDo we get that much traffic for linux native games ? I would guess not22:39
ArtificialIntellMost traffic is emulators/wine22:39
bapoumbaand people who wish to concentrate on native linux games will be able to :)22:40
bodhi_zazenArtificialIntell: is most of your work moving threads involve moving wine questions to the wine section ?22:40
bodhi_zazenwould it help to just "give up" and allow people to default to wine then, with a linux native sub forum ?22:41
ArtificialIntellaye, because people can't find wine forum22:41
bodhi_zazenhopefully you would then move less threads22:41
bodhi_zazenSo, do away with wine forum, make game implicit games + wine with a sub section for linux native games ?22:42
ArtificialIntellNey, Bodhi. We'll have 16 new thtreads each day on "How do I WoW"22:42
ArtificialIntellin the gaming forum22:42
bodhi_zazenWhat is wrong with that, give the gaming forum to wine rather then having to move threads ?22:43
ArtificialIntelland the logical perspective as a ubuntu/linux forum to have a forum for native game IMO22:43
bodhi_zazenI agree with the logic, but in practice since most questions stem from wine, and you are having to move threads , I am wondering if a linux native section would make it any easier22:44
bapoumbaYes, change Gaming for Native Linux Games, and WINE to WINE & Emulators ?22:45
ArtificialIntellWell, yes if the two subs is added22:45
bapoumbaWhy make subs ?22:46
bodhi_zazenConsidering what has been discussed, What would make your life easier ArtificialIntell ?22:46
bapoumbaChange Gaming > Native Linux Games and change Wine > Wine and emulators ?22:46
bodhi_zazenForum - Windows games22:46
bodhi_zazenForums - Linux games22:47
bodhi_zazenleave wine out of the title ?22:47
bodhi_zazens/gaming/Linux games22:47
bodhi_zazens/wine/windows games22:47
ArtificialIntellGame forum with two subs. One for Wine and one for Emulators. People can't avoid to see the two subs and it will make it a lot easier for people to search for the informations they are lokking for22:47
bodhi_zazenOK, what emulators are there other then wine ?22:48
jdongLinux games and non-native games I think is more clear of a divide...22:48
jdongthere's a lot of platform emulators22:48
jdonglike for the PSP, NES, and so on22:48
ArtificialIntellmost be around 20 emulators or so22:49
noway2It seems like one of the big concerns is keeping wine separate from native linux.22:49
ArtificialIntellAye, though I like to put things in the right boxes :-P22:50
ArtificialIntell(and spambot hunting)22:51
noway2the proposal for having wine + emulators and native linux games seems reasonable to me.22:51
ArtificialIntellI could live with that. 1 for native and one for non-native22:52
bodhi_zazen\o/22:53
jdong*nods* sounds great to me :)22:53
bodhi_zazenThank you for you work on that ArtificialIntell22:53
bapoumba+122:54
ArtificialIntellmy pleasure ^_^22:54
ArtificialIntellI don't have more to add.22:55
bodhi_zazenAny other agenda items ?22:56
bapoumbanot that I know of22:56
bodhi_zazenOtherwise we are waiting to see if any other FC members have issues22:56
jdongI can't think of anything22:56
noway2I had a similar topic as AI's but this meeting is running long, so I will put it on the agenda for next month.22:56
bapoumbamaybe we should continue the discussion on the ml ?22:56
bapoumbato get everyone's input ?22:57
bapoumbahey tseliot :)22:57
jdongsounds like a good idea22:57
jdongI don't expect there to be any disagreements but it's good to get everyone's input22:57
bapoumbaokay, I'll post it on the ml, unless someone else wants to do it ?22:59
bodhi_zazenthank bapoumba , I was just about to ask that =)22:59
