* nhandler can't find the purpose in using such a client when he always has a web browser open01:19
joeyakgraner: so I had this thought this morning18:17
joeyakgraner: or more like I remembered something I didn't tell you18:18
akgranerhehe18:18
akgranerjoey, I'm all ears - shoot18:18
joeyakgraner: The original intent of the Fridge, after some thinking by me, was NOT to be simply a news source.18:18
akgranerI only started my googledoc yesterday to get the blueprint and wiki info organized18:19
joeyakgraner: it was really designed to be an information radiator.   http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?InformationRadiator18:19
* akgraner reads18:20
joeyakgraner: here's a picture  http://theagileexecutive.com/2010/03/15/how-to-construct-a-great-information-radiator/18:20
joeyakgraner: but because back in 2005 that was new thinking, I can only assume it was easier to just create a news hub18:21
joeyanyway, that's what I'd offer up as "Fridge v2"18:23
akgranerjoey, cool.. I'll process this information in just a few and tweak roadmap wiki and blueprint18:23
akgranerand drop the links here and the mailing list :-)18:24
joeyakgraner: doing it on wordpress might be tricky but some ideas:  a ticker that scans twitter & identi.ca for #ubuntu posts.   a ticker that shows upcoming meetings in #ubuntu-meetings or similar18:27
joeyakgraner: a release countdown timer...   in fact, a countdown timer for all alphas and betas18:27
joeyakgraner: a security exposure ticker or notice18:28
akgranerjoey, hehe your todo list is growing ....18:28

joeyk19:28
joeyakgraner:  idea.  WP version of Fridge = Fridge 2.0      Information radiator version of the fridge, if we can do it, 3.0  :-)19:44
akgranerhmm - maybe we should just slap up a poll for both teams to vote on19:49
akgranerI like information radiator  - Ubuntu IR 2.0 or something cool19:52
