jdubbeen considering shifting to clearlooks by default in ubuntu10:41
tvonthat would be nice10:41
tvonthat or SmoothGNOME which is my normal default10:41
jdubsaves you about 2s of config time ;)10:41
tvonheh10:41
jdubmmm, smoothgnome is a bit 'chunky' for default10:42
tvonI'm mostly a fan of the HIG colorscheme10:42
tvongranted that it can be done with any engine10:42

* jinty is wondering how to start a schoolbell server from a python script in /usr/bin...20:08
jintyi.e. the one in the schoolbell module20:09
tvonthe z3 one?20:10
jintyyep20:10
tvonthe zopectl or runzope scripts should do the trick I think20:11
* jinty goes to find zopectl20:12
jintythanks20:12
tvonnp20:12
th1aI need to do the same thing for Windows.20:12
tvonactually I see no runzope, maybe it's just zopectl now20:12
tvonzopectl = schooltool/Zope3/bin/zopectl20:13
jintyBefore I dive into these, they will be able to start a standalone instance of schoolbell?20:13
th1aNot at this point.20:14
jintyin the future?20:14
th1aWhat do you mean by standalone?  One that acts like the current version?20:15
jintyyes20:15
th1aYou'll need an answer from POV on that one.20:16
jintysomething that looks veruy much like schoolbell today20:16
jintyok, thanks.20:17
th1aBoth options are open at this point.20:17
mgedminI want to rewrite the current top-level schoolbell-server.py to start a mini-Zope3 instance20:17
th1aI'm not sure when, if ever, we'll have to abandon one approach in favor of the other.20:17
mgedminand hook into the publication process so that we have a SchoolBellApplication instead of Zope's RootFolder20:18
th1aZope 3 is much more flexible with this kind of thing than Zope 2, so I have to expand my consciousness to grasp the possibilities.20:19
jintyth1a: I think the standalone option is nice because it is simple, quick and easy to install.20:19
th1aCertainly.20:20
jintymgedmin: Thanks, i'll have a look for it in the checkins.20:21
jintyjdub: ayt?20:22
mgedminjinty, it's not written yet, so you'll have to wait a week or two20:25
jintyunderstood, I only meant that you wouldn't have to send me a mail. But if you want to, that would be great. I have to wait for this before I can test the packages fully.20:30

th1amgedmin:  Can workflow transitions be triggered by events in Zope 3?21:26
*** gintas has joined #schooltool21:27
mgedminth1a, I've never played with workflow in Zope 321:30
th1aOK.21:31
mgedminbut I'm pretty sure the answer is "yes"21:31
th1aI'm thinking about applying workflows to persons.21:31
tvonthat would be nice21:31
th1aThat's a lot of what schools do.21:32
th1aYou're in "suspended" state until three days elapse and we meet with your parents.21:32
th1aThat sort of thing.21:32
tvonyeah.. "pre-registration", "active student"..etc21:34
th1a"9th grade," "10th grade..."21:34
tvonthat crossed my mind and I'm not sure thats the way to distinguish grades21:35
tvonperhaps by groups21:35
th1aWell, promotion is a big issue.  It is one of the harder areas.21:35
th1aAnd it can vary a lot in different systems.21:36
* tvon decides to juggle actions/tools a bit21:44
th1aactions/tools?21:46
tvonin the UI..the tools div and the ZMI actions21:47
th1aAh.21:48

* mgedmin is replacing magic CSS rules for calendar navigation icons with <a href=""><img src=""></a>22:00
mgedminCSS magic does not allow you to specify alternate text22:00
mgedminso if images are disabled/not available, the user sees nothing22:00
mgedminthose icons are small and hard to find with the mouse22:09
mgedminI'll try adding some text next to them22:09
