newz2000ah, cjohnston is going to set up a meeting soon to do the next step, but as I understand it now15:09
newz2000we should come up w/ something simpler by using apache's content negotiation feature15:09
knomemeeting, like in irc or...?15:10
newz2000this will serve a different js file for each language15:10
knomeoh, okay15:10
newz2000yeah, I think on IRC15:10
knomeright15:10
knomeis somebody on it already?15:10
newz2000no, I don't think so15:10
knomealright15:10
knomei read some mails on it on the ml15:10
knomedo you know if they already know HOW they'd like to decide who gets which file?15:11
newz2000(here's the link describing it btw: https://lists.canonical.com/archives/ubuntu-website/2010-March/000868.html )15:11
newz2000regarding who gets which file, apache will serve the file for their language automatically15:11
newz2000is that what you mean?15:11
knomeyup, pretty much15:12
knomeso what needs to be done then?15:12
newz2000I'm waiting for confirmation from the IS team that they'll support this method15:12

knomeokay. then what? ;)15:12
knomeshould ping the UX team today myself15:12
newz2000Then a planning meeting to decide what needs to go into the js file and how it will be translated15:13
newz2000then do the work15:13
knomethe work is?15:13
knomeis it something somebody will be able to work on or you need help?15:14
newz2000I'm going to ask the community to do the work15:15

newz2000ok20:39
cjohnstonnewz2000 needs to fix the wiki20:39
newz2000what's up w/ the wiki?20:40
cjohnstontons of timeouts20:40
newz2000are you editing? I'm viewing and it's snappy for me20:40
cjohnstontrying to view20:40
cjohnstonjcastro was complaining about it earlier too20:41
newz2000must only be affecting those in eastern time zone20:41
newz2000when you get a timeout error do you see an error message from a proxy server?20:42
cjohnstonumm20:43
cjohnstonhave not payed that much attention20:43
newz2000if you do, tell me the name of the proxy server and I'll look into it20:43
cjohnstonok20:43
newz2000it maybe that we're running more than one currently and one is flaky20:43
cjohnstonnewz2000: http://paste.ubuntu.com/400169/20:45
newz2000sounds frustrated20:46
newz2000:-)20:46
jpdscjohnston: The main reason it's so slow is because it has a HUGE user database.20:57
* cjohnston thinks newz2000 needs to write a wiki for ubuntu's use that is faster :-P20:58
newz2000yeah, it'll be done in 201520:59
newz2000Moin is a bit of a dog20:59
newz2000it really only has about one benefit, it's written in python20:59
newz2000theming stinks, performance is not super, installation is a pain in the butt21:00
jpdsWell, even you save a page, by design, it stats EVERY SINGLE users data files to check if that user is subscribed to that page.21:00
cjohnstonis there something better?21:00
jpdss/even/when/21:01
newz2000jpds: yeah, not good21:01
newz2000cjohnston: mediawiki is good but we don't like php21:01
cjohnstonseems like there would be a better way to find or save subscribed users21:02
newz2000cjohnston: yeah21:02
newz2000I spent nearly 5 years writing a commercial CMS before coming to Canonical, and a strategy i used21:03
newz2000pages should be optimized for viewing21:03
newz2000fundamentally, that means things that are done repeatedly should be optimized21:03
newz2000so when a person subscribes to a page an index should be updated21:04
