[01:17] added a kubuntu article from the planet to the doc [01:18] * pleia2 checks mailing list for stragglers [04:01] wow, I have no focus tonight [04:01] s/tonight/today [05:32] pleia2: gotcha! [05:34] :) [05:34] jose: settling in at home ok? [05:34] 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] 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] taking a look now! [06:05] looks good to me! [06:06] actually, there is a 'points' feature on gforms [06:06] what do they do? [06:06] is that the "turn this into a quiz" thing? [06:06] well, it's a 'quiz' feature [06:06] yeah [06:06] so it grades it after they're done [06:06] and they know how many points they got [06:06] there are too many free-form things [06:07] ah, np then [06:07] but looks good [06:07] thanks for taking a look [06:07] np! [06:08] it's just crazy that uwn has been going for almost 10 years [06:09] over 10 years! [06:09] Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter - Issue #1 for the week of May 28 2006 - June 3 2006 [06:09] oh! right, some of the issues are double/triple weeks! [06:09] and we went on hiatus for about 6 months when akgraner stepped down [06:10] it's a lot of time [06:10] yeah [06:11] 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] also took out some of the sections that were time-consuming and less valuable [06:12] when I came in, releasing was just simple and smooth [06:13] * pleia2 nods [06:13] editors before me had a lot to do, it's really no wonder they didn't last years like I have [06:14] ...but I do still have some work to do [06:14] * pleia2 preps for editors now [06:15] 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] o/ nhandler [06:17] ohai! [06:17] "But we replaced those people with a few scripts, and done" :> [06:17] ^ true story [06:17] we only brought you in because you're a bot [06:17] link checkers are important [06:19] Yes they are. It is quite embarrassing sending out a big email with broken links [06:19] no comments on that one [06:19] yes, we do need link checkers [06:20] in the meanwhile, my 8.5GB download which was at around 2.5GB just cancelled itself [06:20] 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] OOOOOH I REMEMBER THAT EMAIL [06:21] and it got stuck on mailing list archives! [06:21] Yeeeeep. [07:18] Unit193: link check? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue496 [07:18] and I've sent it off to the editors [07:20] No detected broken link. [07:22] thank you, sir [07:25] You are truly welcome, madam. [11:01] pleia2: re quiz, two points to raise, will do so by email [11:01] will do review after 2100 UTC [18:18] PaulW2U: great, thanks for having a look :) [21:53] editorial review done
