{% filter escape %} 19:33:46Alrighty. 19:33:49 So, today's agenda is: 19:33:52 0) Hi 19:33:55 1) IRL events 19:33:55 2) Websiet 19:33:58 (2a) redux 19:34:01 (2b) SSL 19:34:08 3) that space where you can pitch anything else 19:34:39 *** KillYourTV sets mode: +l 65 19:34:45 psi, Meeh, and ech (among others) are those who are attending IRL stuff or are able to/willing 19:34:51 * dg pokes 19:35:02 0) Hi 19:35:02 Hi! 19:35:18 *** KillYourTV sets mode: +lf 60 [10j#R10,20m#m5,3n#N15]:15 19:35:28 oh.. it's meeting time.. 19:35:29 *** KillYourTV sets mode: +l 65 19:35:32 Hey 19:35:32 sorry 19:35:35 hi 19:35:38 no problem welt, hi! 19:35:49 'lo 19:35:57 1) IRL events then 19:36:24 We kind of touched on this last time--, I'm wondering if we can utilize the tickets (and men) we have at CCC to get i2p out there somehow 19:36:39 http://zzz.i2p/topics/1273 is relevant 19:36:56 I'll be @ 29c3 19:36:59 I've got stickers and am going to 29c3 19:37:01 (and bring stickers) 19:37:18 What would be nice is a talk or a workshop 19:37:41 Exactly my thoughts. Stickers are cool and all but they only vaguely provoke interest. 19:37:55 (hmm.. maybe I should bring a big "LANG=en" along this time :P) 19:37:55 A workshop/talk would be far better 19:38:04 +sign 19:38:12 (A talk would have lasting effects) 19:38:37 * weltende@freenode is an terrible speaker.. *waves vaguely at other people* 19:38:52 What would be the talking points of a talk? 19:38:55 a general into talk probably wouldnt be very interesting to many people 19:39:39 It's not really *our* place to perform a talk on the French researcher's points 19:39:41 we could do an getting started with i2p workshop or so? 19:39:49 General intro would need some sort of point also 19:39:51 Yeah 19:40:01 intro* 19:40:01 (due to the technical nature of the event) 19:40:16 Maybe a comparison to other solutions like tor? 19:40:31 s/solutions/options/ 19:40:34 LaughingBuddha meant: Maybe a comparison to other options like tor? 19:41:22 What does make I2P an attractive option? 19:41:22 LaughingBuddha: maybe I didn't see your suggestion in context, but I don't think we should compare software made for different purposes. 19:41:34 Tor's .onion then, heh. 19:41:45 That may or may not interest the CCC folk 19:42:00 It'd still be somewhat generic *as a talk* 19:42:06 A workshop however would be perfectly apt 19:43:34 i don't think differences to tor are a good topic. they are rather subtle from a listener's POV and you would have to go into too much detail. 19:43:49 workshops are good if you can get a knowledgable volunteer to run it 19:44:00 i vaguely remember an i2p workshop in the past that didn't go so well. i might be making that up though. 19:44:11 What would we be trying to convey to the listeners? Are we assuming no knowledge of I2P? Passing knowledge? 19:44:15 any hint as to why? 19:44:26 There was a tor/i2p workshop last ccc, but it was cancelled by its creator (gamambel). About 10 ppl were there before realizing it was cancelled. 19:45:04 ah.. I remember 19:45:04 str4d: I'd assume a brief kind of acknowledgement and "hey, I've heard of that. maybe." but nothing more(?) 19:45:18 hottuna_: is 10 good or bad for CCC? I've really no idea about it :( 19:45:18 Schnaubelt: I am aware of that. But i2p and tor often get used in the same sentence. 19:47:44 I dont know, not terrible at the very least? 19:47:47 What does a workshop usually entail? 19:47:47 Im not sure, that was the only one I've ever been to. 19:47:47 welt please pm me on ein after meeting... have a couple questions 19:47:50 i think a lightning talk would be pretty good. a diverse selection of people watch them for one. and even if they wonder about the apparent lack of differences to tor, it's still a win if that gets them to look into it more. 19:47:50 But probably some setting up and demo:ing 19:47:50 yeah, a lightning talk would be appropriate 19:48:13 do we have anything new and/or interesting to present? 19:48:19 *** Farside has left #i2p-dev (leaving) 19:48:22 maybe something that tor does not offer? 19:48:28 RN: k 19:48:32 Well, torrents.. 19:48:36 That's not new but. 19:48:42 Big. 19:49:28 the torrent bridging idea/infrastructure is interesting 19:49:39 but not very complete/deployed 19:50:41 Yeah, that needs work. 19:51:00 having a lightning talk is something the ccc visitors can discuss later on 19:51:00 hottuna_: that would deserve an extra lightning talk. i'd worry that mentioning it briefly with i2p would only create the old "is everyone an exit node?" kind of confusion. 19:51:11 it doesnt have to be planned extensively 19:51:14 What would our desired result be? What sort of people would/should this attract? New general users? New high-profile routers? New technical users? New researchers? 19:52:23 technical users and researchers? 19:52:46 darrob, true. We do need to be consistent with terminology in that respect I think - outproxies are a service run by volunteers, just like IRC servers, eepsites and repository hosts. They are not something hard-baked into the router like Tor. 19:55:44 In that case, posing some open research questions near the end of the talk would be useful, to show that there is room for novel research (always a drawcard for academics ^_^) 19:56:19 str4d: sounds good. 19:56:19 yes squashing the misconception that I2P is meant to hide your login on facebook should be a big bullet point in any such talk/demo imho 19:59:09 "I2P is not a ${DEITY}damn proxy!" 19:59:34 Hm, ok 19:59:55 proxy is a really tricky term in I2P context 20:00:24 Yep. That's why I changed the default text for the IRC tunnel. 20:00:46 (It said "IRC proxy" which is *technically* true but not in the way users think it) 20:00:53 I think those of us visiting CCC could *really* do a workshop this year, and possibly a lightning talk (although that'd most likely be regarding torrents) 20:01:05 Time to move on to website 20:01:05 ? 20:06:52 did you skip updated info on mergability? 20:08:14 * dg missed messages 20:09:02 str4d: that's a good idea 20:09:05 also: 20:09:12 <+dg> I think those of us visiting CCC could *really* do a workshop this year, and possibly a lightning talk (although that'd most likely be regarding torrents) 20:09:12 <+dg> Time to move on to website 20:09:12 <+dg> ? 20:10:19 Messages keep getting dropped. gah. 20:10:19 oops sorry I was late 20:10:26 no problem 20:10:26 * topiltzin catching up with backlog 20:10:49 *** w8rabbit_ is now known as w8rabbit 20:11:11 dg, I was asking if you were skipping over mergability of fux update to website, (but my connection is tripping) 20:11:39 Mine is too. 20:12:08 * ReturningNovice_@kytv flips some switches and adjusts some knobs 20:12:14 fux hasn't changed in the last week, so no need to cover it at present. 20:12:25 I am. The outcome last time wasn't good and the fux folk have expressed that any merging is not desirable (at least right now). It may be possible for us to grab some features in future but I guess there's more important things right now? 20:12:28 Perhaps I'm wrong. 20:12:28 Yeah. 20:13:43 (I'm working on feeds for 0.9.5 so that's my priority) 20:13:54 Oh, right. 20:14:20 I setup #i2p-www (just reg'd it), and the idea was that me among others could participate in a "book sprint" almost to get the pages done 20:14:28 I wasn't sure which pages *actually* needed work, though 20:14:57 The idea is that #i2p-www could be used as a sort of web committee to get revamp up to scratch and report back to -dev (in meetings I assume) when there's updates 20:15:28 We're updating docs or are we revamping the site? 20:15:37 Revamping the site 20:15:51 <@dg> http://vekw35szhzysfq7cwsly37coegsnb4rrsggy5k4wtasa6c34gy5a.b32.i2p/en/site/ 20:15:51 <@dg> i2p.www.revamp is the mtn 20:15:57 dg, I'd recommend that text revamp be done know 20:16:00 argh 20:16:03 We determined that the current design isn't friendly enough etc. 20:16:20 in I2p.www 20:16:48 ok caught up with backlog 20:16:59 and design/structure of the new site in I2p.www.revamp 20:16:59 we on website now? 20:17:07 yup 20:17:22 alright! duck's design. Very nice. 20:17:34 str4d: If that's easier for you, sure. 20:17:57 do we have a eepsite with that design? 20:18:04 does it require javascript for anything? 20:18:11 huch can you reaach the eepsite 20:18:11 ? 20:18:20 &cs http://vekw35szhzysfq7cwsly37coegsnb4rrsggy5k4wtasa6c34gy5a.b32.i2p/en/site/ 20:18:20 Trying to check status of "http://vekw35szhzysfq7cwsly37coegsnb4rrsggy5k4wtasa6c34gy5a.b32.i2p/en/site/" for dg. Please wait... 20:18:26 http://vekw35szhzysfq7cwsly37coegsnb4rrsggy5k4wtasa6c34gy5a.b32.i2p/en/site/ responded with status 200 within 5 seconds. 20:19:09 and "Ur mom" is still there. :-/ 20:19:12 What work needs to be done before it's a viable alternative? 20:20:04 * dg is wondering this 20:20:47 topiltzin, I apologize for not removing that yet -_- 20:20:58 design needs work/overhaul 20:21:45 yeah, I remember seing a preview of that... it was a nice profesional look... 20:21:45 (and vekw35...i2p's bandwidth gets slashdotted lol) 20:21:48 but that can be worked on later, with multiple proposals if necessary 20:21:55 looks alright to me. Is all the content - mtn howto, developer keys, that stuff there? 20:22:22 first priority IMHO is getting backend finished. 20:22:41 topiltzin, I've migrated most of it. 20:22:44 *** sayliwo_ is now known as sayliwo 20:23:03 does the revamp use the regular trac tickets? 20:23:41 I'm still not happy with the page / navigation layout though.. 20:23:48 a ticket for "remove "ur mom" " would serve as a reminder to whom it gets assigned to... 20:24:07 I don't know if "Supported Software" is the best name for the middle column because it's really listing actions, not actual software 20:24:30 RN, the frontpage needs a rethink. 20:25:09 duck's layout copied the Tor site, and it would be good to make it more unique. 20:25:20 Could we get a list of things that need doing so someone could perhaps tackle it/at least we have a clear, concise list? 20:25:39 I agree dg 20:25:54 how drastic of a rethink do you have in mind, str4d ? 20:25:57 I can outline later what I know needs doing. 20:26:19 Thanks! 20:26:22 I guess we're done with that 20:26:36 weltende: you here? 20:26:46 yup 20:26:59 topiltzin, I like the general layout, but the three columns content needs rethinking. 20:28:17 Agreed. I'm available to discuss whenever you think it's best 20:29:45 and the footer is almost unnecessary 20:29:48 fwiw the news column on the right is dynamic 20:29:48 (i.e add a new article to backed and the list is updated) 20:29:48 That's another thing- caching needs thought 20:29:48 20:30:36 dg: we can dig in deeper on the website or keep going - your call 20:34:32 <+topiltzin> dg: we can dig in deeper on the website or keep going - your call 20:34:35 <+dg> I'm fine with digging deeper, I just don't want this to drag on too long and have some people leave, but the remaining topic is pretty small and mainly just between me and welt 20:35:11 ok 20:36:00 I would change the name of the middle column "Supported Software" -> "What can I2P do" 20:36:11 and since we already have a similar question in the title above, I would consider changing that 20:36:34 maybe "What does I2P do for you" -> "What is I2P" 20:37:28 RN: Do we actually have a trac category for this? 20:37:35 no passive tense on the front page == good 20:37:38 I'd suggest changing "can be conducted anonymously on I2P." to "can be conducted anonymously inside I2P." 20:37:50 Ooh. 20:37:57 inside does sound far better, actually. 20:38:08 A lot of people do not seem to understand that i2p is a space. 20:38:19 We don't want too much text on front page, but given the improved navigation, how much redundant linking is needed? 20:38:37 dg, if we don't one could probably be created... 20:38:59 And could some of it be replaced with other feeds/intro text/something? 20:39:14 dg, www 20:39:21 of course, I'll go create a ticket for "your mom". 20:39:28 What about simplifying that sentence a bit? "Many things would risk your privacy on the public Internet but you can do them anonymously inside I2P" 20:39:46 * topiltzin was hoping we were mature enough to not need ticket for "ur mom" but we do, so be it 20:40:48 Should I spare us the embarrassment or do we actually need to make a ticket? 20:40:51 I'm trying to come up with the most condensed and accessible description possible for the front page 20:41:25 * RN giggles at " of course, I'll go create a ticket for "your mom"." 20:41:44 I think str4d won't forget about it so it's probably not needed. 20:41:59 (nor anyone else that does anything on it) 20:42:02 toss a coin. whatever it takes to get it done :-/ 20:42:05 we don't need a ticket for it 20:42:24 didn't mean to start such an uproar 20:42:27 It'd be nice to have some things officially noted, although uh.. not the "your mom".. 20:42:30 as I said, I think that entire column needs replacing with something else. 20:42:38 * dg sweeps "your mom"-gate under the rug. 20:42:45 but at least we know there's definately an apropos place for such 20:43:00 dg, then a ticket for "replace left column content with something else" 20:43:51 ok 20:44:22 left column could even go away entirely imo 20:44:49 gives us more room to expand on the functionality more 20:45:16 as 20:45:16 Argh, ignore that- _- 20:45:49 Trac keywords are delimited by "," right? 20:46:12 afaik, yes 20:47:11 we could even remove the heading "Supported Software" and just use that space to list the different things I2P can do 20:47:26 http://trac.i2p2.i2p/ticket/792 20:47:29 better than list - give a small blurb on each if appropriate or include an icon 20:47:39 topiltzin: That'd be sweet, actually. 20:48:00 remember that the navigation, columns and footer are just lists, so the left column could be altered/removed with a different theme as well. 20:48:03 "Supported Software" isn't user friendly anyway 20:49:06 hmm.... icons... that could get stylisticly opinionated quickly 20:50:34 icons etc should be left to theming. maybe we should think about the content we want on the front page for now, and not necessarily how it will be arranged? 20:50:45 if we can't agree on what icons we think look good we don't have to have any 20:51:49 you mean beyond removing the left column str4d ? 20:52:35 yeah, I agree with str4d I think content first, form second, icons as eyecandy in theemes or later 20:52:50 the most important two questions someone will likely have when they come to the site, are either, why do I need this? and I've got it, so what now? 20:53:16 Well, does it need removal? Would a brief intro with a "read more" link be useful? Would a small infographic be helpful? 20:53:35 Things like that - content. 20:53:38 I like infographics in Pretty Colors (TM) 20:54:30 and as RN asked - what do we answer when the first-time visitor asks "why do I need this?" 20:54:33 yeah topiltzin, but you use paint 20:54:40 ;) 20:54:51 it wouldn't be me alright, zero visual skill here :-P 20:55:43 breif with a "read more" is a good idea imho 20:55:57 <+dg> I'd rather not fill up trac with loads of unnecessary tickets but at the same time, it helps to keep a handle on what needs to be done. 20:56:00 <+dg> Oh, and http://vekw35szhzysfq7cwsly37coegsnb4rrsggy5k4wtasa6c34gy5a.b32.i2p/en/site/volunteer/bounties - Bounties links are broken. 20:56:00 <+dg> I think I'm going to go ahead and make tickets for these. 20:56:11 Title: Bounties - I2P (at vekw35szhzysfq7cwsly37coegsnb4rrsggy5k4wtasa6c34gy5a.b32.i2p) 20:56:40 dg, are they? Must have missed a link migration... 20:57:11 I tried a few links at random and they loaded for me 20:57:18 what would you say in such brief RN ? 20:57:45 GCJ, for example. "http://dev.i2p.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/i2p/Makefile.gcj" 20:57:52 A duck.i2p one too. 20:58:07 I'll trac these too. 20:59:10 Oh, that is text- related dg 20:59:17 well, I'd say something like, the internet is watching you... 20:59:17 lol 20:59:24 * dg notes 20:59:24 they will fail on current website as well. 20:59:39 I'd need a little time to think up something more serious 20:59:47 str4d: Thanks :) 21:00:13 I'm not opposed to having something not-so-serious but not all the way to "ur mom" 21:01:25 ideally something inviting.. not too formal 21:01:36 definitely worth brainstorming 21:06:05 i2p.trac: #795: Bounties being broken http://trac.i2p2.i2p/ticket/795 21:06:08 i2p.trac: #793: Mirror links http://trac.i2p2.i2p/ticket/793 21:06:08
