rejonJedi_: that is funny...my gf. said the same thing06:21
rejonlook in the zh_CN translation at what my gf. made06:21
rejonI will be continuously trying to remove this type of language from ccHost06:21
rejon"What I Pound on", while sounding pornographic, actually means, "What tools I use"06:22
paulproteusrejon, You should make "What I Pound on" the English translation of the string "What tools I use".06:22
paulproteusBTW, around?06:22
paulproteusIf so I want chat.06:23
Jedi_rejon: zh_CN havn't translate that string yet06:24
paulproteusrejon, I want you to compare http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/lyceum-users/2006-July/thread.html and http://paulproteus.acm.jhu.edu/tmp/zested/lyceum-users/2006-July/ .06:30
paulproteusTry to follow the "Homepage blog" thread.06:30
paulproteusrejon, Note that I'm not original; I'm using code from "Zest" <http://zesty.ca/zest/>, but his code was broken in a lot of ways that I've fixed.06:30
paulproteusrejon, My question is: What sort of web UI would be useful for this, and how might I implement it?06:30
paulproteusI'd love to throw every open mailing list through it.06:31
paulproteusJedi_, You're welcome to look too, btw. (-:06:31
paulproteusBTW, if you don't see why my "zested" version is cool, play with it longer or ask me. (-:06:31
rejonok, checking06:35
paulproteusrejon, A better demo I suppose is http://paulproteus.acm.jhu.edu/tmp/debian-mentors/ - more forwards and backwards discussion.06:36
paulproteusBe sure to click links and mouse-over things in the left pane.06:36
paulproteusIt turns unwiedly conversations into discussions where it's easy to see who thinks what.06:37
rejonpaulproteus: this is awesome!06:42
paulproteusThank goodness you think that.06:42
rejonvery cool06:42
rejondid you get it into mailman?06:42
paulproteusI was worried you thought it was boring since you weren't saying anything.06:42
paulproteusrejon, No.  Good idea.06:42
rejonno, man, just tired and multitasking06:43
paulproteusBut that won't help me run it against the Debian lists, which aren't mailman anyway.06:43
rejonwould be good to offer this option in addition to boring static view06:43
rejonis it generalized for multiple mailing lists?06:43
paulproteusMailman already lets me download mboxes, so I was thinking some slick interface where I offer to slurp external mbox files and render them on the fly would be good.06:43
rejoncool06:43
rejonok, that makes sense06:43
paulproteusZest takes a series of mbox files as arguments and outputs this stuff.06:43
rejonit would be useful for gmane06:43
rejonawesome06:44
rejoncool06:44
paulproteusMy first step is a very visible tech demo.06:44
rejonso you rocked that implementation out?06:44
rejonyep06:44
paulproteusI fixed his bugs, at least.06:44
rejoncoo06:44
rejonl06:44
paulproteusAnd the bitrot.06:44
rejonis there a project opened up?06:44
paulproteusOn SF?  Not right now.06:44
paulproteusThe code's in http://svn.asheesh.org/svn/public/code/zest/ and http://svn.asheesh.org/svn/public/code/use_zest/ .06:45
paulproteusZest has an SF project; maybe I'll get this to be part of it.06:45
rejonyes, that is a good plan06:45
rejonzest.sf.net06:45
rejonthat is a good url06:45
rejonbuild the infrastructure around that to get ppl. involved06:45
rejonand do a big release06:45
rejonthat will gain attention06:45
paulproteusYes, it's the big release I wanted your help on.06:46
rejoncool06:46
rejonyeah, get that guy to add you as a developer06:46
paulproteusI figure a web UI where you can (a) see arbitrary months of known lists (since it's already got their mbox files) and (b) teach it about new lists' URLs for mbox files would be great.06:46
rejonyep06:46
paulproteusAnd I wondered if you felt like writing a mockup of the UI so then I could write a backend.06:46
paulproteus(-:06:46
rejonhave you communicated with the original dev?06:46
paulproteusJust a little.06:47
rejonhahaha...nice try06:47
paulproteusHe's very busy and not interested in pursuing it all, but I'll ask him about SourceForge.06:47
rejonI would like too, but am stretched too thin06:47
rejonyeah, get him to make you a full level admin06:47
rejoncuz, obviously he hasn't worked on in like 3-4 years06:47
rejonthat is the first thing06:47
rejonget the keys06:47
rejonand then open it up06:48
rejonthere is already mailing list06:48
rejonso, after you get access, commit your changes, pretty up zest.sf.net06:48
rejonand then do release 0.1 or whatever06:49
rejonI'm more in favor of the 0.1..1.0 strategy these days06:49
rejonthen write up an announcement and I can help you connect that with PR, freshmeat, etc06:50
rejonthat will get interest from others, and if you have the doors open, give devs. the keys as fast as possible to the project to help out06:50
rejonI use the policy: 1 patch submitted first, and then a dev. gets full dev. access on sf.net (including SVN commit)06:50
* paulproteus nods06:51
rejonthat is the strategy06:51
rejonbut it all hinges on becoming a dev. on the project06:51
paulproteusThe thing is, I don't really think this is long-term code.06:51
paulproteusIt's not like Inkscape where the feature list is huge.06:51
rejonthat is ok06:51
paulproteusOkay, I guess you really could build the feature list here anyway....06:51
rejonyeah, i wouldn't make too much infrastructure06:51
rejonlike don't need chat for it, and probably not a wiki in this case06:52
paulproteusAnyway, sure, I'll do this. (-:06:52
* paulproteus chuckles06:52
rejonmainly, you need multiple devs. to help out06:52
rejonmain thing is to get admin level access onthe project06:52
paulproteusThat's true.  Hopefully some random Slashdot guy will come by and think it's worth hacking on.06:52
paulproteusThe code does desperately need a refactoring, and once (if) that's done, then it could be pushed into other projects.06:52
rejonand get that by giving him a huge patch and rewarding with kindness06:52
rejonyes06:52
rejonexactly06:53
paulproteusSo I guess there is a lot to do, I just forgot since I've kept my sights small. (-:06:53
rejonand others will pick it up06:53
rejoni pulled together this project gotmai06:53
rejonl06:53
rejongotmail06:53
rejonits a perl script to get hotmail and save into mbox06:53
rejonit was stuck for a year and broken06:53
rejonso I applied these strategies and got it back on track06:54
rejontotally work06:54
rejoned06:54
rejonother ppl. picked it up, etc06:54
paulproteusWell, that's awesome.06:54
rejonand it is actually more downloaded and used than inkscape06:54
paulproteusHah! (-:06:54
rejonits used by thousands of people06:54
rejonand is just a lame script06:54
* paulproteus sees you at http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=48958606:54
paulproteusI used to dream of becoming a backdoor genius for the powers of Good, where no one knew who I was but I would secretly manipulate the world to be awesome.06:55
paulproteusAnyway, enough late-night gushing for me.06:56
