Mootbot-UKACTION received:  zkriesse to help with News team meeting wiki00:04
zkriesseUh oh..now I done it00:04
akgranerso the status of the new WP Fridge is that we now have access to a staging environment to start work on it00:04
akgranerand I have asked that nhandler and pleia2 have access in addition to myself00:05
zkriessecool00:05
akgranerhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/WebThemes00:06
nhandlerakgraner: Is there anyone besides newz who has full access to it? Otherwise, it might be difficult to migrate earlier friddge content00:06
akgranerThere will be right now this is to get it set up00:07
akgranerit's not on a Canonical Server right now but a private one00:07
nhandlerAh, ok. I assume that will also change, correct?00:07
akgranerbut as we get closer to going live it will be moved over and the migration will start happening00:07
nhandler:)00:08

akgranerif you look at this wiki, you'll get some idea of what we are going for but that is not set in stone as who knows what will work or not look until we get it organized and use it for a while00:09
akgranerBut it goes to the idea that The Fridge that news source and place to get to many of the areas of the community00:10
akgranerany other questions on that?  As there isn't much more to tell until we actually get those things implemented but we are closer than we were last month00:11
nhandlerWhen are we aiming to have the new fridge ready to go live? Or is that still up in the air?00:11
akgranerWell we were aiming for end of July but I think that will depend on how soon you and lyz can help with all that...00:12
akgranerSo I am thinking that full migrating could be set for End of August?  Any thoughts?00:12
nhandlerThat sounds like a good goal, but a lot will also depend on Canonical (i.e. helping to migrate old posts and move to a Canonical-hosted server, dns, etc)00:13
akgranerI agree but I need to tell let them know when we would like to shoot for00:14
akgranerand ask them if that sounds ok to them00:14
zkriesseSounds good to me00:15
akgraneranything else about all that?00:15
nhandlerNope00:15
zkriessenot from me00:15
akgranerSo in reference to Editing procedures for the Fridge - I just wanted to remind myself and others that we have a wiki for those00:16
akgranerand if you are ever questioning if a story should go on the Fridge review this document00:16

akgranerand if you think it should still go on - then there is nothing wrong with creating a page and asking another editor to review it00:17
akgranerI ask nhandler and pleia2 to look over stuff all the time00:17
nhandlerJust make sure you don't check 'Publish' when you create the page ;)00:17
akgranernhandler, thanks for mentioning that :-)00:18
