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