| jussi | Hrm, had an idea (might be crazy, but yeah) - I know it would be nasty on the maintainers, but perhaps we could make the default username/ident reflect the version of ubuntu, making it easier to identify which version they are running and less lines used in asking that? | 14:41 |
|---|---|---|
| jussi | Btw, this type of questions and thoughts are more than welcome in here - "how we can make things rock/ not suck" is very ontopic for here. | 14:44 |
| charlie-tca | and if they run two or three systems with different versions? | 14:44 |
| jussi | charlie-tca: it wont be 100% accurate, but that doesnt mean we shouldnt do it | 14:44 |
| jussi | I think it would be possible to write a little script that pulls the version, so the maintainers wont have to think about it each release | 14:45 |
| charlie-tca | Would that make it more confusing, then, if it is not accurate. People will be giving answers based on the reported version instead of asking? | 14:45 |
| jussi | not really, because usually people on a second system will say so, but a newbie on his new system wont say anything | 14:50 |
| charlie-tca | Seems like one more step of "you should assume we know everything needed, so don't bother telling us. We can help anyway." | 14:52 |
| jussi | Hrm, I dont think so, its more one more step of "hey, we have some extra information that enables us to give better help" | 14:55 |
| jussi | charlie-tca: btw, what is xubuntu's default irc client? | 14:55 |
| charlie-tca | Xchat | 14:56 |
| charlie-tca | and that is not xchat-gnome | 14:56 |
| jussi | k | 14:57 |
| charlie-tca | We also install pidgin by default, just to confuse things ;-) | 14:58 |
| jussi | heh | 15:03 |
