th1aHow is the fees work coming?18:19
replaceafilldone with fines18:19
th1aCool.18:20
th1aI think we need to earn our $5K from VA and get a script written today.18:20
replaceafillwhat should it do?18:21
th1aIt seems to me it should:18:21
th1a1) back up the db.18:21
th1a2) iterate through the people and insert a placeholder string (e.g.: "LAST_NAME") if anybody is missing that.18:22
th1a3) List the names and id's of anyone that was changed.18:22
th1aYes?18:22
replaceafillshould we aim only for first_name and last_name?18:24
th1aI don't know if it is worth a little extra time to make this a generally useful fix for all the required person attributes.18:24
replaceafillyour call18:24
th1aI mean, it seems like something that would be worth including as a script in the regular packages.18:25
th1aIf it is an extra 10 minutes, I'd do it.18:25
replaceafillhm?18:25
replaceafillthis is the first time we see it, right?18:25
replaceafillmy major concern about this approach is that we don't really know what caused it18:26
th1aI mean, just adding checks for the couple additional required attributes for basic_person.18:26
th1aWell... if this is not the problem, probably nothing happens.18:26
th1aWell, don't let me slow this down.18:27
replaceafillright18:27
replaceafilllet's start with first/last name18:27

replaceafillyou can test it or just send it then18:29

th1aYeah, probably you should because it seems like they're trying to finish their grades, also the contact guy seems relatively competent on the server.18:30
replaceafillok18:30
th1aJust make sure the terminal output is clear on if it did anything or not.18:31
replaceafillok18:31
