Anything to follow up on with its author? 12:09:01 #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban 12:11:01 I think 158 is done, the author is just looking at the formatting at this point 12:11:07 yeah, it's pretty close 12:13:46 strange, I must be looking at the wrong one -- it comes up blank for me in wp 12:15:00 permissions error, maybe? asamalik, i know there are at least some editors who can't schedule articles, so we may need to audit our roles/permissions in WP 12:15:16 (and by "we", i mean asamalik and stickster, because i don't have admin privs in WP) 12:15:16 hello2 12:15:27 sorry Im late 12:16:06 bcotton: yeah, let's look at that 12:16:35 #action asamalik to audit WordPress roles and privileges to ensure all editors have appropriate privileges 12:16:47 bcotton: I can make you an admin for sure :) 12:16:57 thanks 12:17:08 ooh, delegation! 12:18:29 gregbartholomew: I've made you an editor, did it help? 12:18:49 I was looking at the wrong one, sorry. I had 183 open :), 12:19:03 bcotton: and you're an admin, now! 12:19:09 curses! 12:19:22 gregbartholomew: ha, ok, well, you're an editor now, anyway, use your powers wisely! 12:19:50 all right, back to in progress 12:20:05 asamalik: thanks 12:20:34 I'll try to be careful :) 12:20:46 bcotton: you said 158 is pretty close, is there something you still miss there? 12:21:17 asamalik: i haven't looked since the author's latest edits, but it looks like it's ready to move forward now 12:21:31 that was my feeling, too, cool! 12:21:42 moved 12:21:56 anything else in In Progress before we progress to the next topic? 12:23:21 #topic 3/ Finished articles to review 12:23:21 #info Looking at the 'review' column, let's decide which articles are good to go. Move each either to the 'to edit' (finished) or to the 'in progress' (needs more work) and provide feedback. 12:23:21 #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban 12:24:59 at quick glance, #182 looks ready for edit. it just needs an explanation of what a "functional programming language is" 12:25:11 looking at 182, I just modified the board perms so anyone can comment 12:26:59 bcotton: I think the first paragraph does that very briefly 12:27:05 I see people using markdown. Is that ideal? 12:27:07 we could extend it slightly during the edit? 12:27:14 okay, i just skimmed it, so i may have missed it 12:27:23 I had a slight issue with that on the last article I edited. 12:27:25 something for the assigned editor to figure out 12:27:44 gregbartholomew: something to hold for open floor maybe? 12:27:49 ok 12:27:54 fair enough! moving it forward then? 12:27:59 asamalik: ack 12:28:13 for #178, i there's no preview link and i'm not finding it in WP 12:28:35 this may have been accidentally moved out of article spec 12:29:00 maybe: https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=29843&preview=true 12:29:17 I couldn't even find a post for #178 on WP 12:29:47 sorry, that was a different music player. 12:29:47 yeah can't find it either 12:29:54 * bcotton will move it back to Article Spec and assign the author who proposed it 12:30:11 bcotton: thanks! 12:30:27 #topic 4/ Articles to edit 12:30:27 #info Looking at the 'to edit' column, assign an editor and a cover image creator. 12:30:27 #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban 12:30:59 4 here, 2 from the last week, already assigned a publishing date 12:31:37 188 has been published 12:31:39 so we have 3 12:32:10 184 is assigned and scheduled 12:32:16 to edit? 12:32:23 yes, from last week 12:32:35 182 we looked at today, who would like to edit and image it? 12:32:48 sure 12:34:23 and 158 the same :) 12:34:33 * asamalik is happy to take either of these, to both edit and iamge 12:35:10 asamalik: I'll take 182 do image and edit, you can take #158 12:35:19 jakfrost: deal! 12:35:33 #action jakfrost image + edit #182 12:35:40 * jakfrost shakes 12:35:42 #action asamalik iamge + edit #158 12:36:51 jakfrost: don't worry, images are easy, all you need to do is to stare at a screen for a while until drops of blood form on your forhead :P 12:37:08 or was that writing? 12:37:14 anyway 12:37:19 asamalik: I think for both 12:38:40 true 12:38:41 #topic 5/ Publishing schedule 12:38:41 #info Looking at the 'queued' and 'to edit' columns, decide the publishing schedule for the next week period. 12:38:41 #info If there is not enough content, we might also need to look at the 'in progress' or even the 'article spec' columns come up with additional content. 12:38:41 #link Board: https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/asamalik-fedora-magazine/kanban 12:39:42 FYI, I notice that there is another latex article that looks nearly done.

I was never concerned in setting links this way. Is that the default behaviour outside of Markdown? 12:55:51 I just converted them to html in the last article. 12:56:11 no, it is not default behavior. 12:56:40 I think I saw others doing it at one time though and I've been doing likewise all along. 12:57:11 I don't have strong feelings here... also heard the opposite, that when people want to open a new tab, they do so, but when they don't want to, it shouldn't do that for them 12:57:19 I see, so converting the markdown to html solves the default WP setting for the block 12:57:46 You can right click for opening options in the browser 12:58:00 especially in articles that have lots of references (as mine tend to), I think it is better to have them open in new tabs. 12:58:14 by default 12:58:21 the right click still works if you do that by habit of course. 12:58:36 * asamalik always middle clicks to get a new tab anyway in these cases, so I wouldn't notice the setting 12:58:42 but if you forget to right-click a link, you don't lose your place so to speak. 12:59:15 I think it does keep the article in focus, so to speak 12:59:24 * gregbartholomew always right-clicks, the middle button tends to scroll on him and he doesn't like that. 12:59:44 * jakfrost has four buttons 12:59:47 running out of time and I have another meeting... but do we want to continue on the list? 12:59:57 whatever we choose, we should be consistent 13:00:16 I have to run 13:00:25 I guess it is already inconsistent, but maybe an area to improve. 13:00:29 bye. :) 13:00:33 yep! 13:01:18 #endmeeting
