[13:57] <scott-work> holstein:  i mentioned that i had received access to the website but i didn't think it worked
[13:57] <scott-work> i tried again last night and it still didn't work, so i email chris jones back about it
[13:58] <scott-work> i was resigned to having to get skaet and agraner involved and wait four months before i got another reply
[13:58] <scott-work> _this morning_ i get a new email from chris :)
[13:58] <scott-work> when i get home i will run it through pgp and see what it says ;)
[13:59] <scott-work> hopefully this means that i can update the website tonight then
[13:59] <scott-work> i will check to see if i can grant others access to the website, if not then i will file another ticket to get this privilege
[14:32] <scott-work> knome:  i added my recommendation to your wiki page :)  good luck, sir!
[15:32] <holstein> scott-work: thats great news :)
[15:32] <holstein> even if it still doesnt work yet, we have eyes on it, and thats good
[15:33] <holstein> i think now is the time to get that going on
[15:33] <holstein> not that the devs are ever really idle, but right now in the cycle is probably the best time to catch folks somewhat idle
[15:33] <scott-work> i think you are correct :)
[15:34] <holstein> hopefully, all of this site stuff can be knocked out before the 12.04 craze starts
[15:36] <scott-work> holstein: so what do you consider as the absolute minimum to include in the new website?
[15:38] <holstein> scott-work: i think as long as its wordpress-like, and we can edit it easily, i say, just filling in what is there on that template is great
[15:38] <holstein> linking to the wikis
[15:38] <holstein> and the forums
[15:38] <holstein> and adding news as-needed
[15:38] <holstein> something that is simple and clean and can stand the test of time
[15:39] <scott-work> my thoughts were:
[15:39] <scott-work> 1. news and release announcements
[15:39] <scott-work> 2. link to images
[15:39] <scott-work> 3. link to help.u.c
[15:39] <scott-work> 4. link to "contribute to studio" on wiki.u.c
[15:40] <scott-work> i think that's the bare minimum for this
[15:40] <holstein> works for me
[15:40] <scott-work> i think when the website is staged we should create or populate these, if we have not done already
[15:40] <holstein> yup
[15:40] <holstein> i really think its nearly done
[15:41] <scott-work> although we will need to differentiate with knome when we can create pages and/or populate them
[15:41] <holstein> i think we just need to 'pull the trigger' on something
[15:41] <holstein> i *really* like what knome has
[15:41] <scott-work> i agree on both accounts
[17:16] <knome> scott-work, thanks!
[17:18] <scott-work> knome: you are welcome :)
[17:18] <knome> let me create you accounts for the wordpress installation i have now
[17:18] <knome> please remember the post style is not finished yet
[17:19] <knome> meaning, stuff you add to posts might not look good, and images are not aligned even if you set them to right-aligned in admin
[17:19] <knome> scott-work, scottalavender @ google's mail ?
[17:20] <scott-work> knome: that is correct
[17:23] <knome> now if i could only remember my own password
[17:25] <scott-work> lol
[17:28] <knome> you got email
[17:28] <knome> holstein, you too
[17:33] <scott-work> knome, outstanding!  thank you so much :)
[17:33] <knome> np
[17:33] <knome> if you need something (something looks particularly ugly, or you want to test how something would look in production), just ping me
[17:33] <knome> i'll add the alignment stuff in in a few minutes
[17:35] <knome> if you need/want to add plugins, feel free to (just send me an email after if you left something enabled)
[17:37] <knome> done
[17:38] <scott-work> cool :)  i will defintely look at this evening after work, thank you again
[17:38] <knome> np
[17:38] <knome> i'll try to get some work done on the site later today or tomorrow too, so we're a bit closer to being ready for publishing too
[17:41] <scott-work> holstein:  make sure you check your spam folder if you don't see the email ;)
[19:46] <scott-work> knome:  how much should we do in this current website before the staging on canonical severs?
[19:47] <scott-work> are we just playing with it to get the feel of it to make sure things format well?
[19:47] <scott-work> or will we be able to transfer the site and the sql database to the staging area and finally to the final site?
[19:57] <knome> scott-work, transfering what you build to this site is not too hard, so you can do pretty polished things there :)
[20:37] <scott-work> doh!  i see charlie-tca is also going for xubuntu project lead, i feel kinda bad now that i added a recommendation to knome's wiki page but didn't do anything for charlie
[20:38] <knome> scott-work, nobody said you can't cheer for both :)
[20:38] <knome> scott-work, also, the information on the nominees was released today
[20:38] <scott-work> oh!
[20:38] <knome> so, kind of, you couldn't know
[20:38] <scott-work> yeah, i'm going with that ;)
[20:38] <knome> heh
[20:39] <scott-work> but charlie did a LOT of testing for us when we were down and out so i might say something nice for him as well, i hope you don't mind
[20:39] <knome> heh, feel free to
[20:39] <knome> i think charlie is doing wonderful job on testing and QA, too
[20:40] <knome> i'm no completely sure where charlie want's the support to
[20:41] <knome> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CharlieKravetz/XubuntuProjectLeadNomination is last edited about a year ago...
[22:20] <knome> ScottL, holstein: check your inbox for email from rt@ubuntu.com ;))
[22:42] <knome> off for today, so i'll have some energy left for tomorrow too
[22:42] <knome> see you!
[23:31] <ScottL> knome, hmmm, i don't see anything special or from rt@ubuntu.com :(
[23:31] <ScottL> knome, good news however, i did manage to log into the website
[23:31] <ScottL>  
[23:32] <ScottL> in other news, the email chris jones sent is encrypted with someone else's key :|   this is like a bad dream
[23:32] <ScottL> i don't think i'll ever get into the existing website to update the release notes/links
[23:32] <ScottL> holstein, ^^^
