| nigelb | akgraner: yes :) | 05:53 |
|---|---|---|
| akgraner | so you know how I've been trying to figure out ways to improve the newsletter | 05:53 |
| nigelb | Yeah :) | 05:54 |
| akgraner | people want to be able to just click on links to the sections they want | 05:54 |
| akgraner | so I was thinking of setting up pages for each section and using includes on the main UWN Issue page | 05:54 |
| akgraner | I think it will be a PITA to set up - but once it's set up it should be good | 05:55 |
| nigelb | That would help solve the "Hey, I'm in the wiki, can you wait?" issues | 05:55 |
| akgraner | nods | 05:55 |
| akgraner | and give us individual links to each section | 05:55 |
| nigelb | but might want to run in past nhandler since I'm not sure how the scripts would parse it | 05:55 |
| akgraner | what scripts? | 05:56 |
| nigelb | the one that converts from wiki to forum formatting | 05:56 |
| akgraner | OH that one - no biggie I can put the pieces together and just runt the script | 05:56 |
| akgraner | run even | 05:57 |
| akgraner | you have to take raw wiki data | 05:57 |
| nigelb | in that case, I think its a very good idea | 05:57 |
| nigelb | but raw data will only have Include foo/foo | 05:57 |
| nigelb | not the next | 05:57 |
| nigelb | Since I can't read perl, I dunno how that works :( | 05:58 |
| akgraner | put it into a text editor, strip out all the `` and stuff then save it as uwnissuenumberin.txt | 05:58 |
| akgraner | right but if I just grab the raw text - copy and paste - once it's all good to go it can't take that much time | 05:58 |
| nigelb | Ah! | 05:58 |
| akgraner | but we won't know til we try | 05:59 |
| nigelb | Exactly | 05:59 |
| nigelb | We could set things up without touching the main issue | 05:59 |
| akgraner | nods | 05:59 |
| nigelb | Just to see how it works | 05:59 |
| akgraner | I was just brainstorming | 05:59 |
| akgraner | plus this gives me/us a way to add links to the Fridge version | 05:59 |
| akgraner | people asked me to find away that the fridge can link to the various sections rather than taking them to the whole wiki | 06:00 |
| nigelb | You can still link | 06:00 |
| nigelb | the headers are all anchors | 06:00 |
| akgraner | I know but they don't want to see the whole thing | 06:00 |
| nigelb | AH, that use case | 06:01 |
| akgraner | nods | 06:01 |
| akgraner | so I am trying to think of ways that kill 2 birds with one stone | 06:01 |
| akgraner | make sense? | 06:04 |
| nigelb | Yep | 06:07 |
| nhandler | akgraner: The biggest issue would be having to create the various wiki pages for each section every week and update links that point to them | 06:08 |
| akgraner | so I guess we can set something up in a sandbox and test it | 06:08 |
| akgraner | yeah - I can just add them to the check list :-) | 06:08 |
| nhandler | akgraner: The team-report script could probably be modified to merge all of the Included wiki pages into one page for the forum script to parse | 06:08 |
| akgraner | nhandler, really - that would so rock | 06:09 |
| akgraner | nhandler, and nigelb if I set up a sandbox with what I am thinking would you all have time to play around with it next week | 06:09 |
| nhandler | akgraner: Most of the code is already there. If you decide to go ahead with the Includes, poke me when you have the pages setup and I can give it a try | 06:09 |
| akgraner | gotta run Pete just walked in the door :-) | 06:10 |
| nigelb | See, this is what I like about nhandler, think about him and he's here :D | 06:10 |
| nigelb | (yeah, highlighing help :p) | 06:10 |
| akgraner | be back tomorrow sometime - thanks guys! | 06:10 |
| nigelb | ciao, g'nite :) | 06:10 |
| nhandler | nigelb: Well, I literally just got home (late movie) | 06:12 |
| nigelb | 1 am; wow | 06:13 |
| nhandler | nigelb: 12:15 am (UTC-5 for now) | 06:14 |
| nigelb | nhandler: wait, you're not on east coast? | 06:14 |
| nhandler | nigelb: Nope. Central (Chicago) | 06:14 |
| nigelb | ahhh, Chicago. Right. | 06:15 |
| akgraner | Hey all I added stuff to the etherpad. If I added something to your section and you look over it or if it's just a title and link can you write a quick blurb to it.. | 16:47 |
| highvoltage | akgraner: sorry for asking you this every time, where's the etherpad again? | 17:36 |
| nigelb | highvoltage: pad.ubuntu-uk.org/UWN :) | 17:36 |
| nigelb | (I really hope you have to copy paste that as punishment of not remembering :p) | 17:37 |
| === nhandler changed the topic of #ubuntu-news to: Please fill out the UWN Survey: http://is.gd/fXKrO || Next Meeting: Thursday, November 4, 2010 @ 2300UTC | The Ubuntu News Channel - You report it, we publish it! Serving the Fridge, Ubuntu Weekly News, and other fine publications. | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewsTeam | http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/UWN | ||

| johnc4510 | i got the msg | 19:26 |
| johnc4510 | but haven't set it up yet | 19:26 |
| akgraner | johnc4510, good now - we are back on track, go the new fridge site functional just waiting on the move to fridge.ubuntu.com or the re-direct | 19:27 |
| akgraner | but we are using ubuntu-news.org for now | 19:27 |
| johnc4510 | cool | 19:27 |
| akgraner | getting more volunteers to help with various things etc | 19:27 |
| akgraner | I've missed you | 19:27 |
| johnc4510 | great | 19:27 |
| johnc4510 | missed you too | 19:27 |
| akgraner | how are things? | 19:27 |
| johnc4510 | pretty good, thx | 19:28 |
| johnc4510 | and your family? | 19:28 |
| johnc4510 | i set up 10.10 on the 11th on all my boxes and it was seamless | 19:29 |
| johnc4510 | upgrade or fresh install both worked great | 19:29 |
| akgraner | awesome - I have a book for you | 19:29 |
| johnc4510 | oh great...i'm still fighting server problems | 19:30 |
| johnc4510 | :) | 19:30 |
| akgraner | well reserved for you - I'll have them send it to you | 19:30 |
| johnc4510 | kk | 19:30 |
| akgraner | I finally upgraded earlier this week and Maverick is sweet | 19:30 |
| johnc4510 | been so long since i've been here i had to really think how to run my bash script to connect to our remote server LOL | 19:31 |
| akgraner | family hmmm, crazy teenagers, husband traveling all the time, a dog who takes more allergy meds than carter has liver pills, and me well I'm just me - :-) How's everything with your family? | 19:32 |
| johnc4510 | pretty fair right now...mom has been doing better the last half of this year...we even took a trip back to Missouri to see family... | 19:33 |
| akgraner | great!!! | 19:33 |
| johnc4510 | nods | 19:33 |
| akgraner | hey I'll be "sandboxing" the new wiki pages soon - wanna give your thoughts on those and help? | 19:35 |
| akgraner | you know I had to ask right | 19:35 |
| akgraner | people want to be able to get to *only* the sections they want to read not the whole newsletter | 19:36 |
| johnc4510 | sure...just send me an email when you need me here for imput | 19:36 |
| akgraner | so we are going to be working on that | 19:36 |
| akgraner | johnc4510, awesome! you rock | 19:36 |
| johnc4510 | so basically you need to make a single index page or make the headers hot ??? | 19:37 |
| akgraner | yep | 19:37 |
| johnc4510 | kk | 19:37 |
| akgraner | people don't even want to see the whole thing based on early survey results and emails I am getting | 19:38 |
| akgraner | so far about 135 people have taken the survey and I've gotten 11 or 12 personal emails going into some painstaking feedback | 19:38 |
| akgraner | which is good | 19:38 |
| nhandler | There is a benefit though in getting the whole thing in an email. I can go and search my inbox for some topic and find the UWN that talked about it | 19:38 |
| akgraner | johnc4510, did you look at ubuntu-news.org yet? | 19:39 |
| akgraner | nhandler, yep | 19:39 |
| akgraner | I totally agree | 19:39 |
| johnc4510 | not yet, but i'll check it out now | 19:39 |
| akgraner | thanks let me know what you think - we are still tweeking it | 19:39 |
| akgraner | well I gotta run Pete is only home for a day this week and we a list of stuff that needs to be accomplished around the house before 5am when he leaves again | 19:40 |
| akgraner | be back tomorrow sometime | 19:40 |
| nhandler | Bye akgraner | 19:40 |
| * nigelb hugs akgraner | 19:40 | |
