[2008-05-28 14:18:51] <NonvocalScream> FOr tomorrow perhaps? [2008-05-28 14:18:53] * Az1568 nods, the blog has been sorta stale [2008-05-28 14:19:02] <Az1568> seems like a good idea [2008-05-28 14:19:06] * kibble notes Az1568 is kinda lagged out [2008-05-28 14:19:25] <kibble> or he's misreading the name of the channel ;-) [2008-05-28 14:19:30] <NonvocalScream> jayansonvv [2008-05-28 14:19:34] <cary-busy> yes, the blog (nudge jayansonvv) can use help [2008-05-28 14:19:36] <jayansonvv> yes i'm here [2008-05-28 14:19:42] <jayansonvv> i just made a post [2008-05-28 14:19:46] <NonvocalScream> what are the thoughts about posting a piece on SUL/Unified Login and AutoLogin across the projects as internal-tech? [2008-05-28 14:19:50] <jayansonvv> as a matter of fact [2008-05-28 14:20:16] <Az1568> kibble: well its a good thing to bring up, since we're all here :) [2008-05-28 14:20:34] <kibble> Az1568, nvm ;-) it was me who was misreading his comment :P [2008-05-28 14:20:39] <Az1568> hehe :P [2008-05-28 14:22:15] <Az1568> jayansonvv: Nice :) [2008-05-28 14:22:31] <jayansonvv> i expect the google lawyers to come down on us for using their copyright blue oceans, but what the heck [2008-05-28 14:22:32] <cary-busy> yay [2008-05-28 14:22:34] <jayansonvv> fair use! [2008-05-28 14:22:35] <kibble> heh [2008-05-28 14:22:42] <Az1568> kibble: now update Blogbox/2008 :) [2008-05-28 14:22:47] <kibble> I saw that image on wmf:rc and thought it was cool :P [2008-05-28 14:22:49] -->| Vassyana (n=pcccc@wikipedia/Vassyana) has joined #wikimedia-cpg [2008-05-28 14:22:54] <Az1568> lol [2008-05-28 14:22:54] <kibble> Az1568, make NonvocalScream do it, I'm busy and he likes to :P [2008-05-28 14:22:58] <kibble> or make david create your account [2008-05-28 14:23:02] <Az1568> :P [2008-05-28 14:23:46] <jayansonvv> i'm working on a few more posts [2008-05-28 14:24:08] <jayansonvv> but i'm still struggling to figure out a method of assigning regular time to the process [2008-05-28 14:24:23] <brianmc> If this damn woman from the Scottish parliament gets back to me I'll have one for you. ;) [2008-05-28 14:24:39] <NonvocalScream> jayansonvv perhaps we can delegate the posting to a small group of contributers, what are your thoughts? [2008-05-28 14:24:40] <cary-busy> jayansonvv: allowing our contributors to help write our posts :) [2008-05-28 14:24:50] * Az1568 nods... [2008-05-28 14:24:56] <jayansonvv> yup, both options [2008-05-28 14:25:04] <kibble> NonvocalScream, why don't we just say "send us your material!" [2008-05-28 14:25:13] <kibble> we don't need to delegate, just let them know that they /can/ do it [2008-05-28 14:25:21] <NonvocalScream> I like that also [2008-05-28 14:25:27] <brianmc> I think I'd prefer a process where more people can edit, but there are gatekeepers on publication [2008-05-28 14:25:34] <Az1568> yeah we could have a post that says that [2008-05-28 14:25:46] <kibble> yep [2008-05-28 14:25:50] <cary-busy> mwa ha ha [2008-05-28 14:25:54] <jayansonvv> I'm still sussing that out [2008-05-28 14:26:05] <NonvocalScream> sussing? [2008-05-28 14:26:25] <cary-busy> It's a Nova Scotian slang thing [2008-05-28 14:26:27] <jayansonvv> Part of the external perspective on the blog is that people see it as a place for... authoratative info [2008-05-28 14:26:30] <jayansonvv> Ha ha, it is not [2008-05-28 14:26:33] <jayansonvv> Figuring it out [2008-05-28 14:26:41] <jayansonvv> authoratative isn't the right word [2008-05-28 14:26:47] <jayansonvv> and isn't even spelled correctly there [2008-05-28 14:27:02] <NonvocalScream> Moderators / the small group of folks, can act as quality control... or gatekeepers as kibble put it. [2008-05-28 14:27:07] <jayansonvv> but I'm now trying to think about a way of adding a 'volunteer contributor' system. [2008-05-28 14:27:11] <kibble> NonvocalScream, brianmc* [2008-05-28 14:27:34] <jayansonvv> But the very best way would be for me or someoen else to flag the best post of the day from planet wikimedia, and/or a major media hit of the day [2008-05-28 14:27:45] <NonvocalScream> Perhaps we can reconfigure the meta suggestion area, into a draft system, see what happens, see what is drafted. Then we can decide what the next step it, would that be ok? [2008-05-28 14:27:49] <jayansonvv> Then if nothing else we could just do a pointer post - echo effect [2008-05-28 14:27:58] <jayansonvv> we have had no traffic there, right? [2008-05-28 14:28:07] <NonvocalScream> lemme check [2008-05-28 14:28:28] <NonvocalScream> The last incoming link was set 7 May. [2008-05-28 14:28:43] <NonvocalScream> jayansonvv should we go ahead with the above, draft area? [2008-05-28 14:28:49] <jayansonvv> sure [2008-05-28 14:28:53] <jayansonvv> where's the page again? [2008-05-28 14:29:07] <NonvocalScream> http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Blog#Suggest_a_topic [2008-05-28 14:29:22] <NonvocalScream> I'll reconfigure it to look like a post drafting area, we will see what happens :) [2008-05-28 14:29:44] <NonvocalScream> Unless someone else wants to reconfigure it first... [2008-05-28 14:29:48] * NonvocalScream glances at Az1568 [2008-05-28 14:29:49] <NonvocalScream> :) [2008-05-28 14:29:59] <Az1568> heh... [2008-05-28 14:30:56] <brianmc> I see Wikipedia is now on the syllabus in Australia [2008-05-28 14:31:01] <jayansonvv> can we make that page spit out an RSS feed? [2008-05-28 14:31:18] <jayansonvv> or i guess i could just watch it [2008-05-28 14:33:32] <NonvocalScream> jayansonvv you talking about the drafting page? [2008-05-28 14:33:34] <kibble> jayansonvv, add &feed=rss to the end of the url on the history page [2008-05-28 14:33:41] <NonvocalScream> yup what kibble says [2008-05-28 14:33:45] <jayansonvv> is it that simple? [2008-05-28 14:33:48] <kibble> yes [2008-05-28 14:33:50] <NonvocalScream> If you want to rss it, it may be best to use a subpage [2008-05-28 14:35:08] <Az1568> NonvocalScream: You can do it, i'm sorta busy atm :) [2008-05-28 14:35:09] <jayansonvv> right right [2008-05-28 14:35:18] <NonvocalScream> ok Az1568 [2008-05-28 14:35:25] <NonvocalScream> later on tonight I'll mess about it :) [2008-05-28 14:35:34] <Az1568> :) [2008-05-28 14:36:30] <NonvocalScream> I'm going to suggest a blog post on SUL unified login [2008-05-28 14:36:40] <jayansonvv> I'm not sure if it's there yet - is it? [2008-05-28 14:36:44] <jayansonvv> I'm playing with it now... [2008-05-28 14:36:45] <NonvocalScream> This is a major achivement for the Wikimedia tech arena [2008-05-28 14:36:48] <NonvocalScream> it is [2008-05-28 14:36:50] <jayansonvv> I like it! [2008-05-28 14:38:06] <jayansonvv> Maybe I can bug Brion to give us a few sentences on that [2008-05-28 14:38:16] * kibble goes to eat [2008-05-28 14:38:31] <NonvocalScream> oops I just did [2008-05-28 14:38:39] <cary-busy> bah, what's the wikimedia canada list name [2008-05-28 14:38:45] <jayansonvv> meeting ajourned?
