highvoltagejcastro: I'd like to link to askubuntu.com from the edubuntu website, what's the right way to link there? should I just link directly to the askubuntu.com page or is there some kind of tag or category or section it should link to?14:16
jcastrohighvoltage: is it for something like "ask us edubuntu questions!" or something?14:17
jcastroyou can send them to a page which will pretag it for them with edubuntu or whatever if you want14:18
highvoltagejcastro: I guess we just want to let our users know that askubuntu.com exists. I think I'll just link to askubuntu.com directly.14:28
jcastroyeah14:28
jcastroor you can do "Ask us a question about edubuntu" and take them directly to the question page with an edubuuntu tag already selected14:29
jcastroup to you14:29
Pendulumjcastro: is there any way of reporting problems with askubuntu and/or stack exchange in general other than to ask a question? neither site is screen-reader useable :(14:30
Pendulum(and based on a question asked on stack exchange over the summer, that's actually a regression and stack exchange used to be mostly accessible)14:31
jcastroIf you mail me I'd be more than happy to forward it on to the team14:32
jcastro(sorry I can't report a bug, I can't use your site, nice one!)14:32
jcastro:)14:32
PendulumI'll find what I know and see what I can pull together14:33
jcastroPendulum: so it used to be and it isn't now? I wonder if it's the theme14:33

jcastroah easy19:40
jcastroit's just autotools, make, make install19:40
jcastroall that I need to do is figure out how to run it19:40
senseOh god, someone actually started defending his views that there are things men are better in (parking) and women are better in (multi-tasking) in the 5%-women-in-Ubuntu-Members-thread on the Ubuntu NL forums. Sigh...19:43
sensefollowed by our only female moderator trying to confirm the fact that women are more sensitive than men19:44
senseand that men often know it better...19:44
