| knome | huhu, ok | 00:42 |
|---|---|---|
| knome | ok, website frontpage now updated with our articles widget | 14:24 |
| knome | in the future, please pay attention to writing/copy-pasting a sensible excerpt, if at all possible, or poke me | 14:25 |
| knome | pleia2, flocculant ^ | 14:25 |
| flocculant | knome: writing/copy pasting to where? | 14:58 |
| knome | flocculant, in the post editing screen, in the top right, there's a button called "screen options" | 15:00 |
| knome | click that and make sure that "excerpt" is selected | 15:00 |
| knome | then you can hide it | 15:00 |
| knome | once you have done that, an excerpt "box" under the article box appears | 15:00 |
| flocculant | knome: ok - that seems painless enough | 15:03 |
| flocculant | so it's bound to go wrong for me :D | 15:03 |
| knome | well, the thing is | 15:05 |
| knome | if you don't put in anything | 15:05 |
| knome | it will just take N words from the start | 15:05 |
| knome | and append it with [...] | 15:05 |
| knome | which isn't the end of the world | 15:05 |
| flocculant | yea - I understand that | 15:05 |
| knome | but it's of course nicer to have hand-crafted excerpts | 15:05 |
| knome | and we probably want to control that the boxes on the front page are about the same height | 15:06 |
| flocculant | yep for sure - if the excerpt is good enough then no need to read the whole if you're not really interested | 15:06 |
| knome | so if the title is long (like for local doc building), the excerpt should likely be shorter | 15:06 |
| knome | fortunately we don't need these for old articles | 15:06 |
| flocculant | knome: so it takes the whole title 'as it is' ? | 15:07 |
| knome | title is always as it is | 15:07 |
| knome | you can't control that | 15:07 |
| knome | you can only control the content excerpt | 15:07 |
| flocculant | ok | 15:08 |
| knome | so yeah, coming up with sensible titles is a good thing too :P | 15:08 |
| flocculant | short title = more excerpt room - got that | 15:08 |
| knome | yep | 15:08 |
| knome | and when all titles are ~same length, also looks better | 15:09 |
| knome | but if it needs to be long, then it needs to be long | 15:09 |
| flocculant | yea - but rather unwieldy as a concept | 15:09 |
| flocculant | yea indeed :D | 15:09 |
| knome | for layouting purposes, the middle column is unfortunately a bit narrower | 15:09 |
| flocculant | quick comment on wording for 'The Team Blog' | 15:09 |
| knome | or more exactly the content area for that | 15:09 |
| flocculant | Find even more interesting articles implies to me that the ones there are less interesting | 15:10 |
| knome | hah | 15:10 |
| knome | so -even ? | 15:10 |
| flocculant | hang fire | 15:10 |
| knome | yes? | 15:10 |
| flocculant | For more articles perhaps | 15:10 |
| knome | aha | 15:11 |
| knome | done | 15:11 |
| knome | and as you can probably figure out, it's easily changeable | 15:11 |
| flocculant | yep that's better | 15:11 |
| flocculant | yea - widget I assume | 15:11 |
| knome | this was just something i wrote quickly in order to have something there | 15:11 |
| knome | yes, a widget indeed :) | 15:11 |
| flocculant | yea I assumed as much, why I mentioned the wording :) | 15:11 |
| flocculant | and does the widget promote newest to the left? | 15:12 |
| knome | yes | 15:12 |
| flocculant | k | 15:12 |
| flocculant | I got that :) | 15:13 |
| flocculant | knome: I assume you saw my MP moving qa links to common reference - wanted to at least get that sorted out prior to us getting it on docs.x.o | 15:14 |
| knome | yes, i'll look at it today | 15:17 |
| flocculant | ok - only put you as it was us that was discussing it last week | 15:18 |
| knome | if we can get the community funding for our own virtual server quickly, we should probably wait until that's up before setting up the contributor docs | 15:18 |
| knome | the request was made by lyz yesterday | 15:18 |
| flocculant | well | 15:18 |
| flocculant | not sure I'd agree | 15:19 |
| krytarik | knome: One thing I noticed earlier, the Developer Area still refers to Wily and its blueprints. | 15:21 |
| knome | krytarik, right, i'll fix that next | 15:21 |
| knome | krytarik, when do we have your next MP up? | 15:22 |
| krytarik | knome: Umm, it's already done. | 15:22 |
| knome | aha | 15:22 |
| knome | ;D | 15:22 |
| knome | krytarik, should be release-agnostic now | 15:25 |
| krytarik | \o/ | 15:25 |
| flocculant | is anyone else actually wanting to do anything with these docs? | 15:26 |
| knome | flocculant, is anyone else wanting to read the current contributor docs we have? | 15:26 |
| knome | my answer: i don't know | 15:26 |
| flocculant | ha | 15:27 |
| flocculant | I meant is anyone making noises about writing stuff :) | 15:27 |
| knome | i am :P | 15:27 |
| knome | i guess i've been involved so much with writing docs for all teams that i should make sure they end up in the new docs too | 15:28 |
| flocculant | as far as read - then who knows about them other than a few of *us* :) | 15:28 |
| knome | maybe at some point i could let it go and start making others write :P | 15:28 |
| knome | nobody - yet | 15:28 |
| knome | we will do massive publicity stunts | 15:28 |
| knome | where flocculant 'strikes' an arsenal - chelsea match for example | 15:28 |
| knome | oops | 15:28 |
| knome | that was supposed to be a secret | 15:28 |
| flocculant | lol | 15:29 |
| flocculant | and by alll you mean not qa | 15:32 |
| knome | yes | 15:32 |
| flocculant | :D | 15:33 |
| knome | and a bit of it too | 15:33 |
| knome | O:) | 15:33 |
| flocculant | that I have to then unstranglish :p | 15:33 |
| knome | lol | 15:33 |
| knome | maybe... | 15:33 |
| flocculant | :) | 15:33 |
| pleia2 | knome: noted re: excerpt | 16:20 |
| pleia2 | knome: also, yay, site looks good | 16:20 |
| knome | \o/ | 16:20 |
| knome | bbl -> | 16:21 |
| pleia2 | oh, and yeah I submitted the funding request yesterday, if all goes well (as I expect it to) I'll bring up the VPS next week | 16:26 |
| flocculant | cool | 16:26 |
| flocculant | and hi pleia2 :) | 16:26 |
| pleia2 | o/ flocculant | 16:26 |
| flocculant | didn't see our testing session thing in the newsletter :'( | 16:27 |
| pleia2 | oops, I'm sorry :( | 16:27 |
| flocculant | things happen - don't apologise :) | 16:28 |
| pleia2 | lost our core link collector recently, so it's just been me, and I failed | 16:28 |
| pleia2 | social media activity was good on it though | 16:28 |
| flocculant | yea for sure :) | 16:28 |
| flocculant | I did go looking | 16:29 |
| pleia2 | :) | 16:29 |
| pleia2 | I hope you have a decent turn out | 16:29 |
| flocculant | not often I do ;) | 16:29 |
| flocculant | well we will see :) | 16:29 |
| pleia2 | or at least that quality overcomes quantity ;) | 16:29 |
| flocculant | it'll be in logs even if there are only a couple turn up | 16:30 |
| * pleia2 nods | 16:30 | |
| flocculant | ha ha ha | 16:30 |
| flocculant | so it can be linked out whatever happens ofc | 16:30 |
| pleia2 | yeah, that'll be useful | 16:31 |
| pleia2 | ok, time to pack up my laptop, off to the other side of the country for thanksgiving | 16:31 |
| pleia2 | see you | 16:31 |
| flocculant | have fun pleia2 :) | 16:32 |
| pleia2 | thanks :) | 16:34 |
| jjfrv8 | knome, I have a few corrections to suggest for the building docs locally article. How would I go about submitting those? | 19:17 |
| flocculant | jjfrv8: do an MP - it's what I've been doing :) | 19:20 |
| jjfrv8 | but where do I pull the article from? And where would I point the MP? | 19:21 |
| jjfrv8 | or will I find out Sunday? :) | 19:22 |
| jjfrv8 | bbl | 19:35 |
| flocculant | jjfrv8: sorry wrong end of the stick - all that stuff is on contributor docs too | 19:41 |
| krytarik | I think he's referring to this though: http://xubuntu.org/news/building-xubuntu-documentation-package-locally/ | 19:43 |
| krytarik | Oh yes, you might have just indicated that. :P | 19:44 |
| flocculant | :) | 19:45 |
| krytarik | Also, since we are talking that article, I might reiterate: "'fonts-droid' added in Wily too, but installed in Xubuntu by default". | 19:49 |
| krytarik | jjfrv8: And if you are eager to include that in the docs too, there is a pretty wide gap to be filled yet :P - https://unit193.net/xubuntu/docs/contributor/C/documentation.html#docs-building | 19:54 |
| knome | jjfrv8, send an email to me or slickymaster | 21:23 |
| flocculant | cheating | 21:25 |
| flocculant | :p | 21:25 |
| knome | wut is? :P | 21:25 |
| knome | or you can send the mail to flocculant... who can then nag others to update the article :P | 21:26 |
| flocculant | ha ha | 21:26 |
| flocculant | I could update the article anyway :) | 21:26 |
| flocculant | but yea - I haz lp:stuff on the brain atm so assumed wrongly :D | 21:27 |
| ochosi | evening all | 21:53 |
| flocculant | hi ochosi :) | 21:53 |
| ochosi | how're things? | 21:54 |
| ochosi | (apart from sidi spamming everyone with his sandboxing project ;)) | 21:54 |
| flocculant | well - I gave up reading anything because of that :p | 21:54 |
| flocculant | plodding along - no change on the enormous grey borders yet - not seen any mention of that since darkst was in -desktop the other morning | 21:55 |
| flocculant | other than that not much from me going on | 21:56 |
| flocculant | though we are running the 'how to test' session on Sunday hopefully | 21:57 |
| flocculant | how's ochosi ? | 21:57 |
| ochosi | yeah, read about that session naturally | 21:58 |
| ochosi | not sure whether i'll manage to be around on sunday | 21:58 |
| flocculant | yep - I assumed so | 21:58 |
| ochosi | family time there with the grandparents and all | 21:58 |
| ochosi | i'm good, just really really busy and often tired :) | 21:58 |
| flocculant | ochosi: well - it's aimed at the new people we've had joined really | 21:58 |
| ochosi | but i'm plotting to go to fosdem in january | 21:59 |
| flocculant | ochosi: that sounds awesome - g'parents are always good :) | 21:59 |
| ochosi | so its not like i've forgotten about FOSS, i just need more time to get folks at my new job to appreciate it :) | 21:59 |
| flocculant | :D | 21:59 |
| ochosi | Unit193: are you still following up on the -core issue/s? | 22:03 |
| ochosi | i mean: are you actively pinging people about it | 22:03 |
| ochosi | (unfortunately i don't get to pinging folks anymore, just not around enough for that) | 22:03 |
| flocculant | :) | 22:13 |
| krytarik | ochosi: Last ping was on Nov 17th: "[20:06] <slangasek> Unit193: cheers, queued for looking at this afternoon". | 22:17 |
| ochosi | ok, good to know | 22:17 |
| ochosi | even though that was a week ago | 22:17 |
| krytarik | Yep. | 22:17 |
| ochosi | anyhow, please follow up with him | 22:17 |
| ochosi | likely he just needs a friendly reminder | 22:17 |
| * ochosi needs some sleep | 22:18 | |
| ochosi | night y'all! | 22:18 |
| flocculant | night ochosi :) | 22:18 |
| knome | nighty flocculant | 22:26 |
| knome | err, ochosi | 22:26 |
| knome | flocculant, FYI, i'm eating now, then looking at the MP's | 22:27 |
| knome | flocculant, i lie! merged. | 22:33 |
| knome | jjfrv8, changes taken to production with some further changes on wording on the last paragraph - thanks | 23:28 |
| bluesabre | evening all | 23:37 |
| knome | hello bluesabre | 23:37 |
| bluesabre | hey knome | 23:38 |
| bluesabre | how's it going? | 23:38 |
| knome | not bad! | 23:39 |
| knome | got the new stuff landed on the webite | 23:39 |
| knome | +s | 23:39 |
| knome | and it looks goood now | 23:39 |
| bluesabre | hm | 23:40 |
| bluesabre | "The Blog" on the far right looks odd | 23:40 |
| knome | aha | 23:41 |
| knome | where should it be then? | 23:41 |
| bluesabre | dunno | 23:41 |
| knome | hah | 23:41 |
| bluesabre | but it's like "no categories love me!" | 23:41 |
| knome | thanks for the input, sean | 23:41 |
| knome | i appreciate it | 23:41 |
| bluesabre | np | 23:41 |
| knome | well we can add categories in the dropdown | 23:42 |
| bluesabre | knome: I was just enjoying all the fine, lovely looking site, and then I saw The Blog alllll alone :'( | 23:43 |
| knome | :D | 23:43 |
| * bluesabre needs to work on his approach | 23:45 | |
| knome | what would you suggest? | 23:45 |
| bluesabre | knome: I am talking about the bottom, btw | 23:46 |
| bluesabre | not the top | 23:46 |
| knome | put some submenu items for categories? | 23:46 |
| knome | well, the menu is the same | 23:46 |
| knome | if there are items in the dropdown menu, they are in the footer | 23:46 |
| knome | same other way | 23:46 |
| bluesabre | gotcha | 23:46 |
| bluesabre | also | 23:46 |
| knome | yes? | 23:46 |
| bluesabre | "The Blog" on the top has a dropdown popout... despite having no content | 23:47 |
| knome | hmm? | 23:47 |
| bluesabre | one sec | 23:47 |
| knome | i can't see that. | 23:47 |
| knome | chrome? | 23:47 |
| bluesabre | chromium/opera | 23:47 |
| knome | don't see in chrome/ff | 23:47 |
| knome | i believe you see it and i can *try* to fix it.. | 23:48 |
| bluesabre | https://imgur.com/NyAEDGY | 23:48 |
| knome | weird | 23:48 |
| knome | just to confirm, can you see the same in the staging site | 23:49 |
| knome | no you can't | 23:49 |
| knome | there is no blog menu | 23:49 |
| knome | sec | 23:49 |
| bluesabre | :) | 23:49 |
| knome | refresh | 23:50 |
| bluesabre | fixed | 23:50 |
| bluesabre | and | 23:50 |
| bluesabre | the footer blog looks better now too | 23:50 |
| knome | hmm? | 23:50 |
| bluesabre | yay! | 23:50 |
| knome | weird | 23:50 |
| knome | it's the same theme and all | 23:50 |
| knome | what the... | 23:50 |
| knome | or did you refresh the main site? | 23:50 |
| knome | maybe you had some cache. | 23:51 |
| bluesabre | refreshed main site | 23:51 |
| bluesabre | maybe | 23:51 |
| knome | ah. | 23:51 |
| knome | explains | 23:51 |
| bluesabre | The Blog on the footer looked like a child element with no breathing room initially | 23:51 |
| knome | maybe | 23:51 |
| bluesabre | now its all better | 23:51 |
| bluesabre | so go knome | 23:51 |
| knome | i haven't tested stuff with partly cached CSS :P | 23:51 |
| knome | \o/ | 23:51 |
