I2P dev meeting, October 31, 2006

15:33 < jrandom> 0) hi

15:33 < jrandom> 1) Net status

15:33 < jrandom> 2) Syndie dev status

15:33 < jrandom> 3) ???

15:33 < jrandom> 0) hi

15:33 * jrandom waves

15:33 < jrandom> weekly status notes up at http://dev.i2p.net/pipermail/i2p/2006-October/001316.html

15:33 * tethra waves back!

15:34 < jrandom> lets jump on in to 1) net status

15:34 < jrandom> no news on this front afaik... things seem stable

15:34 < jrandom> anyone have anything they want to bring up on it?

15:35 <+tethra> nothing here

15:36 < jrandom> ok lets jump on to 2) Syndie dev status then

15:37 < jrandom> as mentioned in the notes, i've been exploring some wysiwyg editor components, but it seems a big pain in the ass (no suprise), and no great solution exists afaik

15:38 < jrandom> so, right now my thoughts are to go with a basic editor with helpers like you see on forums like forum.i2p.net. not wysiwyg, but helpful

15:39 <+tethra> makes sense. might wysiwyg be a progression later on, then?

15:39 < jrandom> of course, if someone tracks down a good small oss wysiwyg editor, i'd love to hear about it (though i've reviewed a dozen options)

15:39 < jrandom> aye, thats a great way for later enhancement

15:40 <+tethra> less of a jump between geek and non geek that way :)

15:40 <+tethra> (have you looked at Nvu?)

15:41 < jrandom> aye, huge, but promising

15:41 <+tethra> which others had you looked at?

15:42 <+tethra> out of interest

15:42 < jrandom> everything i could google into. no list at hand

15:42 <+tethra> ah, right

15:44 < koff> Would it be useful to have a split view with the html at the bottom and a realtime updating rendering of the page at the top?

15:45 <+tethra> or maybe left/right (being able to choose would be lovely

15:45 <+tethra> )

15:45 < jrandom> aye, thats a good idea (not entirely realtime, but semi-realtime)

15:46 <+tethra> yeah, refresh button etc

15:46 < jrandom> perhaps on 5s idle or a button press

15:46 < jrandom> right

15:48 < koff> You could maybe even have two cursors, so you almost feel like you're navigating both at the same time?

15:48 <+tethra> that'd be a bit confusing :/

15:48 < koff> maybe :)

15:50 < jrandom> ok, anyone have anything else on 2) syndie dev status?

15:51 < jrandom> if not, lets move on to 3) ???

15:51 < jrandom> anyone have anything else they want to bring up for the meeting?

15:54 <+fedo> yeah Jr , can hope to have a "joe 6 pack"'s guide to use syndie 1.0 ? ie : what we can do with that text mode console ...

15:55 <+fedo> i'll love to help to test syndie but i'm still unable to understand how to use syndie ! :)

15:55 < jrandom> fedo: does http://syndie.i2p.net/manual.html and http://syndie.i2p.net/features.html and http://syndie.i2p.net/usecases.html help?

15:55 < jrandom> is it a question of "what can you do with syndie", or "how can you do $x"?

15:55 <+fedo> hm not really Jr :-/

15:56 <+fedo> really, i try to do it ...

15:56 <+fedo> how i can use syndie ...

15:57 <+fedo> the text mode console is not a problem

15:57 < jrandom> how you can use syndie /to do what/? or is that the question itself - why would you install and use syndie?

15:57 <+fedo> but what to do when i've installed Syndie is one :-s

15:57 < jrandom> ah

15:58 < jrandom> ok, think of syndie like a customized web browser - you install it so that you can participate in forums. once you install it, you need to tell it what forums you want to participate in

15:59 < jrandom> the current 0.919b install will out of the box tie in to the syndie archive at http://syndie.i2p.net/archive/ - you can just install it, log in, and sync up

16:00 < jrandom> and once you've synced up, you can read posts to the various forums, post up replies, or post up to your own forum

16:01 <+fedo> Jr : i'm thinking that you could made a breif note to explain how to use Syndie : ie how to sync, how to fecth a post ...

16:02 <+tethra> (or even, an example repository (syndie.i2p.net ?) to sync to)

16:02 <+tethra> oh, didn't read above :/

16:02 <+tethra> nvm

16:03 < jrandom> fedo: good idea, i'll write one up

16:03 * fedo waves

16:05 < jrandom> ok cool, anyone have anything else for the meeting?

16:05 <+fedo> we know that you to enable the use of syndie on freenet : tell us how to do it ... (you know that i'm unable to find by reading the syndie's code :-/ )

16:05 <+fedo> ((help me :))

16:06 < jrandom> http://syndie.i2p.net/manual.html#syndicate_freenetpost

16:06 < jrandom> and http://syndie.i2p.net/manual.html#syndicate_getindex

16:07 <+fedo> many 'neurones' to burn but i'll try :)

16:07 < burl> fedo: Complication has written a brief and pretty handy startup guide on the forum here: http://forum.i2p/viewtopic.php?p=8860#8860

16:08 < jrandom> ah right, thats a good one burl

16:08 <+fedo> thanks burl : i'll have a look to that note ;)

16:12 < jrandom> word, ok, if there's nothing else for the meeting...

16:12 * jrandom winds up

16:12 * jrandom *baf*s the meeting closed
