[01:17] <pleia2> added a kubuntu article from the planet to the doc
[01:18]  * pleia2 checks mailing list for stragglers
[04:01] <pleia2> wow, I have no focus tonight
[04:01] <pleia2> s/tonight/today
[05:32] <jose> pleia2: gotcha!
[05:34] <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
[05:36]  * pleia2 nods
[06:02] <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)
[06:04] <jose> taking a look now!
[06:05] <jose> looks good to me!
[06:06] <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
[06:07] <jose> ah, np then
[06:07] <jose> but looks good
[06:07] <pleia2> thanks for taking a look
[06:07] <jose> np!
[06:08] <jose> it's just crazy that uwn has been going for almost 10 years
[06:09] <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
[06:10] <jose> it's a lot of time
[06:10] <pleia2> yeah
[06:11] <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
[06:12] <jose> when I came in, releasing was just simple and smooth
[06:13]  * 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
[06:14] <pleia2> ...but I do still have some work to do
[06:14]  * pleia2 preps for editors now
[06:15] <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.
[06:16] <pleia2> o/ nhandler
[06:17] <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
[06:19] <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
[06:20] <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
[06:21] <jose> OOOOOH I REMEMBER THAT EMAIL
[06:21] <jose> and it got stuck on mailing list archives!
[06:21] <Unit193> Yeeeeep.
[07:18] <pleia2> Unit193: link check? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue496
[07:18] <pleia2> and I've sent it off to the editors
[07:20] <Unit193> No detected broken link.
[07:22] <pleia2> thank you, sir
[07:25] <Unit193> You are truly welcome, madam.
[11:01] <PaulW2U> pleia2: re quiz, two points to raise, will do so by email
[11:01] <PaulW2U> will do review after 2100 UTC
[18:18] <pleia2> PaulW2U: great, thanks for having a look :)
[21:53] <PaulW2U> editorial review done
