sladenI've stuck <blockquote>s around the content on https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2015/06/25/joint-statement-from-the-cc-and-kc/16:35
sladenand given it a one-line introduction to try the make the origin/authorship/context clearer16:36
sladenand pre-empty potential confusion16:36
sladenand pre-empt potential confusion16:36
pleia2we don't usually do that16:37
pleia2but ok :)16:37
pleia2seems reasonable in this case16:37
sladenit's normally done for Ubuntu News:  {introduction} {snippet}16:41
sladenI've found another email-posted-in-directly  http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2015/04/30/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx-end-of-life-reached-on-april-30-2015/16:44
sladenwhich would concut that usual practice seems to have changed/headed that way16:45
sladenconcur16:46
pleia2tjat16:47
sladen...at least for The Fridge, even if not Ubuntu News16:47
pleia2that's how we usually do them on the fridge16:47
pleia2no intro, no blockquote, just straight copy from the mailing list16:47
pleia2I'm really ok with the change for this CC/KC statement, just noting that it's usual :)16:48
sladenin light of recent confusion observed, it might be worth pondering about changing/tighening this up16:48
sladenthank you16:48
pleia2the citation at the bottom is supposed to make it clear, the CC post that was removed had no citation16:48
pleia2which I think was the problem16:48
sladenthe revision that I looked at had one (when I looked really hard!), though if I'd missed it, most readers probably had too16:49
sladenso it was there, but coming /after/, it was unclear or getting missed between the  By-line, and the content from somebody else16:50
pleia2yeah, so are supposed to put <cite>Originally posted.. blah blah</cite>, but in the case of the CC post it was an etherpad that the CC just asked jose to post, so no place to reference16:50
pleia2anyway, this post is fine16:51
* pleia2 back2work16:51
* sladen nods16:52
pleia2adding alpha1 to fridge19:58
