| pleia2 | added a kubuntu article from the planet to the doc | 01:17 |

| * pleia2 checks mailing list for stragglers | 01:18 | |
| pleia2 | wow, I have no focus tonight | 04:01 |
| pleia2 | s/tonight/today | 04:01 |
| jose | pleia2: gotcha! | 05:32 |
| pleia2 | :) | 05:34 |
| pleia2 | jose: settling in at home ok? | 05:34 |
| jose | mostly, yep! jet lag was hitting me for the past couple days, but apart from that it's all good | 05:34 |
| * pleia2 nods | 05:36 | |
| pleia2 | PaulW2U, jose - I've sent you the UWN quiz google doc that I prepared with bored2sleep, can you have a look over it? Once I get thumbs up, I'll put it up on the fridge and we can include it in issue 497 (originally aimed at 498, but might as well do it sooner) | 06:02 |
| jose | taking a look now! | 06:04 |
| jose | looks good to me! | 06:05 |
| jose | actually, there is a 'points' feature on gforms | 06:06 |
| pleia2 | what do they do? | 06:06 |
| pleia2 | is that the "turn this into a quiz" thing? | 06:06 |
| jose | well, it's a 'quiz' feature | 06:06 |
| jose | yeah | 06:06 |
| jose | so it grades it after they're done | 06:06 |
| jose | and they know how many points they got | 06:06 |
| pleia2 | there are too many free-form things | 06:06 |
| jose | ah, np then | 06:07 |
| jose | but looks good | 06:07 |
| pleia2 | thanks for taking a look | 06:07 |
| jose | np! | 06:07 |
| jose | it's just crazy that uwn has been going for almost 10 years | 06:08 |
| pleia2 | over 10 years! | 06:09 |
| pleia2 | Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter - Issue #1 for the week of May 28 2006 - June 3 2006 | 06:09 |
| jose | oh! right, some of the issues are double/triple weeks! | 06:09 |
| pleia2 | and we went on hiatus for about 6 months when akgraner stepped down | 06:09 |
| jose | it's a lot of time | 06:10 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 06:10 |
| pleia2 | nhandler and I came in after that, he cleaned up a ton of scripts and we got release time down from 2+ hours to about 30 minutes | 06:11 |
| pleia2 | also took out some of the sections that were time-consuming and less valuable | 06:11 |
| jose | when I came in, releasing was just simple and smooth | 06:12 |
| * pleia2 nods | 06:13 | |
| pleia2 | editors before me had a lot to do, it's really no wonder they didn't last years like I have | 06:13 |
| pleia2 | ...but I do still have some work to do | 06:14 |
| * pleia2 preps for editors now | 06:14 | |
| nhandler | Yeah, UWN took a TON of time back in the day. We had people assigned to individual sections because each section was quite time consuming and very much a manual process. | 06:15 |
| pleia2 | o/ nhandler | 06:16 |
| jose | ohai! | 06:17 |
| Unit193 | "But we replaced those people with a few scripts, and done" :> | 06:17 |
| pleia2 | ^ true story | 06:17 |
| jose | we only brought you in because you're a bot | 06:17 |
| pleia2 | link checkers are important | 06:17 |
| nhandler | Yes they are. It is quite embarrassing sending out a big email with broken links | 06:19 |
| jose | no comments on that one | 06:19 |
| jose | yes, we do need link checkers | 06:19 |
| jose | in the meanwhile, my 8.5GB download which was at around 2.5GB just cancelled itself | 06:20 |
| Unit193 | nhandler: Could be worse, I saw a bad story about that in #irssi, involving someone not paying attention to what link he pasted. :3 | 06:20 |
| jose | OOOOOH I REMEMBER THAT EMAIL | 06:21 |
| jose | and it got stuck on mailing list archives! | 06:21 |
| Unit193 | Yeeeeep. | 06:21 |
| pleia2 | Unit193: link check? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue496 | 07:18 |
| pleia2 | and I've sent it off to the editors | 07:18 |
| Unit193 | No detected broken link. | 07:20 |
| pleia2 | thank you, sir | 07:22 |
| Unit193 | You are truly welcome, madam. | 07:25 |
| PaulW2U | pleia2: re quiz, two points to raise, will do so by email | 11:01 |
| PaulW2U | will do review after 2100 UTC | 11:01 |
| pleia2 | PaulW2U: great, thanks for having a look :) | 18:18 |
| PaulW2U | editorial review done | 21:53 |
