menesisth1a: hi16:29
th1ahi16:29
th1aCan we talk schooltool.org?16:29
menesisyes16:30
th1aOK,16:31
th1aso the plan is to go to a static landing page.16:31
th1aAnd mothball Plone.16:32
th1aI just pushed the current revision to the html & images to schooltool-owners bzr repo.16:32
th1aQuestions?16:34
menesiswhat about weblog?16:34
menesissince I think it is the only thing that's not static in current page16:34
th1aI'm just linking to the news on LP.16:35
th1aIn the news link.16:35
th1aAh, crap, I need to actually put the link targets on the sidebar.16:35
th1aI should have checked that while you were at lunch.16:39
th1aHow do you want to handle the 404's?16:40
menesisyes the links point to #16:40
menesisregarding news on launchpad, currently they are short and just point to st.org/weblog16:41
th1aPushed the changes.16:41
th1aYeah, I'll have to do something about that.16:41
th1aActually, I might just point them to my personal blog, because most of the posts are there as well.16:41
menesisneed to copy the text from weblog into launchpad16:41
th1aEither one.16:42
th1aI'll clean it up.16:42
th1aI need the motivation of actually pulling the plug on Plone to make myself do it though.16:43
menesisI understand..16:46
menesisthe problem is you can't get those posts if plone is offline16:46
menesisbut all of them are posted to http://www.tuttlesvc.org/ ?16:46
th1aWell, maybe keep plone running on a different port for the rest of the week for safety in grabbing anything I forgot?16:47
th1aIt runs on 8080 anyhow?16:47
th1aOr maybe we just get everything ready to go today and throw the switch later.16:49
menesishttp://schooltool.org:8280/VirtualHostBase/http/www.schooltool.org:80/schooltool.org-20050916:50
menesishere is the plone address16:50
th1aKeeping that running a few days would give us a little insurance.16:52
th1aOtherwise, let's plow ahead.16:52
menesislet's replace the frontpage?16:54
menesiswhy is there "About SchoolTool" link in sidebar that points nowhere?16:56
th1aOops.  Because I missed it.16:56
th1ahttp://book.schooltool.org/htmlhelp/about.html16:57
th1aAlso, because nobody has really helped me with this.16:57
th1aYou're the proofreader as well as sys admin.16:57
menesisok that's what I do now17:02
menesisscreenshots should point to the images... i will do that17:03
th1aThanks.17:03
*** alga has quit IRC17:03
th1aWow, those images look way worse rescaling themselves in Firefox than Chrome.17:06
th1aI should rescale them in Gimp.17:06
th1aLet's just get everything ready to throw the switch today, and then I'll do the final cleanup, and then do it for real in a day or so.17:08
mgedminwhich version of firefox?17:08
th1aGet a little more beta testing in.17:08
mgedminwhich images?17:08
th1a3.017:09
th1aThey aren't on the web yet -- I guess they just aren't anti-aliased.17:09
th1aWhich apparently WebKit does.17:09
mgedminI thought firefox finally learned to anti-alias images while scaling, at about version 317:10
mgedminmaybe it was in 3.117:10
th1aBut really, I should reduce them in Gimp anyhow.17:10
th1aI was just being lazy anyhow.17:10
menesisyes..17:16
th1aWhat are you thinking menesis?17:20
menesisI think that before we change the frontpage to not point to plone17:25
menesis we have to fix https://launchpad.net/schooltool/+announcements to not point to st.org/weblog17:25
th1aOK.17:26
*** yvl has quit IRC17:26
th1aWhat else?17:27
menesisI don't know where else are links pointing to www.schooltool.org/something17:27
th1aThat was the only place I could think of.17:27
menesisI have pushed minor modifications to lp:.../schooltool-org17:29
th1akk17:31
th1afixing news...17:36
th1anow what17:46
th1a?17:46
*** Aiste has quit IRC17:48
*** moquist has joined #schooltool17:53
menesislooking at them17:54
menesisth1a: http://www.tuttlesvc.org/2009/07/new-schooltool-release-2009417.html has the reST source pasted, links are not links..17:54
th1aYes, I actually need to put that into the book, which I apparently forgot to do.17:55
menesisand these release notes are not in http://book.schooltool.org/htmlhelp/jaunty-release-notes.html17:55
th1aYes.  Exactly.17:55
menesisexactly17:55
th1aOK, I'll fix that now.17:57
menesishm, the launchpad announcements do not support html... how to put links in there?..18:01
menesisit is supposedly only suitable to post summary and a link to the weblog, like it was..18:02
th1aIs there a particular link you're worried about?18:03
Lumieredoes lp news18:05
Lumierehave an rss feed18:05
th1aYes.18:05
Lumierethat could allow a little script to populate the st.org page18:05
th1aI don't think it is necessary.18:06
th1aAnd there isn't a lot of room if we add more screenshots.18:06
menesisno particular link, but there were links to Shuttleworth Foundation, Rosetta on Launchpad, FILE BUGS, etc..18:10
th1aDon't worry about it.18:10
th1aActually, I had tried to retract those oldest ones anyhow but apparently missed the confirmation step.18:11
th1aOK, what now?18:14
*** dlobo has quit IRC18:14
menesislet's replace it?18:16
th1aOK.18:17
menesisactually, I was thinking that book.schooltool.org contains a lot of information, and some of it is duplicated now on the frontpage18:17
th1aand?18:19
menesismaybe instead of a link to the book it could be made the main website18:20
th1aYou can't really style it.18:20
th1aI tried to figure out how to do it.18:20
menesisbut  I know nothing about sphinx customization..18:21
menesissame..18:21
th1aOr... you probably can if you really want to get into deep Sphinx-foo.18:21
th1aOr you can just make a simple static HTML page. ;-)18:21
menesisok18:22
menesisth1a: I replaced the frontpage18:31
th1avoila!18:31
th1aDo you want to redirect the 404's?18:32
menesisran `make linkcheck` on st-book and all are working18:32
menesisdon't know, where would they point to?18:32
th1aProbably just to the front page.18:32
th1aOr provide a link to it on the 404 page.18:33
th1aI made sure not to make the book point to the old site since I knew its days were numbered.18:33
th1aWhere can I scp file to make small changes?18:34

replaceafillth1a, ping18:38
th1ahi replaceafill.18:38
replaceafillhey th1a, do you have time?18:39

replaceafillcool, i'll look for you18:41
menesisth1a: /var/www/www.schooltool.org18:44
menesisI left .bzr dir in there18:44
menesisso that bzr pull would work18:44
th1aSo I can push changes from my box and pull them into there.18:44
menesisyes18:44
menesisdon't know if that's a good idea18:45
th1aWell, probably better than just having me scping stuff.18:45
* mgedmin wonders if people can now bzr branch http://www.schooltool.org18:48
mgedminbecause that would be kinda awesome18:48
th1aIt might even help in doing translations.18:49
mgedminsubmitting patches for website spelling errors18:49
th1amenesis: What are your thoughts about 404's?18:54
menesisth1a: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=9364118:55
menesisi.e. reading tips for webmaster what should be there18:55
th1aWell, technically we should have a different error message for the pages we took down, but that's not gonna happen.18:56
menesismgedmin: yes you can :)18:56

th1aThat 404 is fine for now.19:10
menesisth1a: also, we need a favicon for the site and the book19:15
