User1: hey
User1: newz2000: if I remember correctly, you mentioned some time ago an inter website navigation , maybe in the work?
User2: hello
User1: User2 hey!
User1: I'm getting back to you in a few minutes, I'm going back home
User1: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ubuntu-community-task-website
User1: there will maybe be a session at UDS, you should register
User2: hello!
User2: register?
User1: just say that you're interested in
User2: oh
User1: and there will be a conf call system
User1: so you'll be able to hear us
User2: nice!
 * nand will be back!
User2: I'm subscribing to the blueprint
User2: ok!
User2: wb nand
User1: User2 2s phone call :p
User2: ok :)
User2: the Uncyclopedia isn't very postive about Ubuntu ;) Someone was frustrated...
User1: re
User1: User2 to answer your question from yesterday, yes, I follow this model quite closely, but I do not have much blocks
User1: and now that I have gained experience with Drupal, I would have done it differently, using the drupal node system
User2: if you'd really follow the philosophy you'd also have to use models for chaning data, but that's hard to use in forms, since those hooks are outside the controller.
User1: indeed. In fact, I didn't even used the Drupal form system
User1: both approaches are valid, the thing is to keep the code clean and understandable :)
User2: By the way, I subscribed to the blueprint and marked the participation essential checkbox. Is that what you meant with registering?
User1: User2 btw, nice work at integrating the graphics!
User2: I just copied MadsRH's work to the Drupal theme. ;) He did the real work.
User2: I would really like some to have a look at the theme and clean it up though.
User1: User2 you registered, ok
User1: concerning the theme
User1: you should see with newz2000 to get the non modified one
User1: we modified it a bit to our needs, and not always cleanly
User2: ok
User2: The interface overall could use some polishing. The manage list is ugly and the skills at the 'new-task-page' are placed under each other, which will result in a terribly long page when more skills would be added.
User2: Shall I add a link to the bazaar branch in the blueprint's whiteboard?
User1: that may help
User1: and I agree with some of the UI needing work
User1: and here come the powerfullness of Drupal!
User1: you started to learn a bit about it? theming?
User2: I haven't spend much time on theming, learning the form-system consumed a lot of time.
User1: the basic thing to know is : you can edit the way everything is rendered
User1: I mean, directly in the HTML
User1: besides CSS
User1: ok, dinner time for me, I'll be back!
User2: ok, have a nice dinner!
User1: re
User2: wb
User2: How's Brainstorm going? I read that a new big user will be uncovered soon...
User1: well, for now I'm still waiting for canonical sysadmins to do an upgrade, whose code is ready since september...
User1: and I'm guessing the beta status of the software prevent that big user to go live, since I'm waiting for this upgrade to get a live testing...
User1: the upgrade being http://devel.ideatorrent.org
User2: Why is it taking so long? Are the sysadmings too busy?
User2: 2 months are quite a lot in the computer world
User1: part of the problem is, the upgrade is not trivial (dapper->hardy upgrade of the Xen host where Brainstorm and a dozen others websites are hosted)
User1: and they were busy with the 8.10 release
User2: the server was still using dapper?
User1: so I'm waiting patiently... hrm
User1: yep
User2: I hope it won't take much longer.
User1: yep..
User2: the skills overview block is now in my development repo! Next is the actual skill overview page.
User1: great! little by little, it's getting close to something usable
User2: yeah
User2: It's really nice to see it getting something. :)]
User1: And note that the drupal launchpad OpenID module is almost ready
User1: a few bug here and here, we'll discuss migration at the UDS
User2: nice!
User2: I'm curious what the outcome of the UDS will be.
User2: thank you for proposing it for discussion
User1: hopefully some interesting thoughts on how to optimize it
User2: yeah
User1: I'll keep you updated with the details to get the voip feed
User2: ok, thanks
User2: woot! I'm the 102th best idea contributor at Brainstorm!
User2: anyway, I'm off for today
User2: bye!
User1: eheh
