[15:58:11] <Woods> Hello, my fellows.
[16:09:52] <janrinok> hi Woods
[16:10:00] <janrinok> how's things with you?
[16:12:16] <Woods> Pretty good, a little busy initially this morning, but good.
[16:12:45] <Woods> I am going to pick up that "USPS serves spammers" story, I like it, and I found another source.
[16:13:19] <janrinok> Ok run with it. I think LamX wrote the 'need more sources' note so get it before he grabs it!
[16:14:03] <janrinok> ..Or he may simply have put that comment to ensure that it was double sourced at least.
[16:14:48] <janrinok> We had a story earlier today that seems to have annoyed some people because the source is unconvincing.
[16:15:01] <Woods> Hm, which one was it?
[16:15:30] <janrinok> Ex-Googler Reveals ....
[16:15:53] <janrinok> Not yours - don't worry!
[16:16:34] <Woods> Whew!
[16:17:09] <janrinok> lol
[16:22:57] <janrinok> Woods: don't forget tha, now the Nagger has appeared we should start aiming for about 90 min spacing.
[16:23:13] <Woods> Copy that.

[17:51:48] <mrcoolbp> Woods, n1 ^^
[17:53:27] <Woods> Checking now.
[17:55:45] <Woods> Is there a preferred method for sending corrections?
[17:57:00] <mrcoolbp> woods, how many?
[17:57:30] <Woods> I dunno, found one in the second paragraph of the moderation page.
[17:58:14] <mrcoolbp> do tell
[17:58:47] <Woods> "Some are down right terrible;" Downright is one word.
[17:59:11] <mrcoolbp> ah
[18:00:15] <Woods> Not a big deal, I will check over everything, I am sure that will be the only problem over all those pages, and let you know what I find afterward.
[18:00:50] <mrcoolbp> Woods: I'm changing the second sentence in the following paragraph to " This system allows the readers of the site take on the responsibility."
[18:01:28] <Woods> Mrcoolbp: That is good, I thought about suggesting a change in the verbiage.
[18:01:37] <mrcoolbp> cool
[18:02:24] <mrcoolbp> removing the "but" after the semicolon (after "downright")
[18:03:17] <Woods> Oohhh, sounds better. Who needs butts anyway?
[18:03:36] <mrcoolbp> I will after I'm done with this cup of coffee = )
[18:12:46] <Woods> Mrcoolbp: One more wording issue, and some misc problems with the upper/lower case usage in the FAQ titles.
[18:13:23] <mrcoolbp> woods, on the faq stuff, can you BOLD them and throw them on the wiki?
[18:13:32] <mrcoolbp> hold on, I'm doing a quick edit then I'll link you
[18:13:36] <Woods> k
[18:14:11] <Woods> I am going to get lunch right quick, brb in like 5.
[18:14:51] <mrcoolbp> cool
[18:21:42] <Woods> Okay. Yeah, if you could get a link to where I can just edit it, or suggest changes more easily, that would be great.
[18:22:58] <mrcoolbp> http://wiki.soylentnews.org
[18:23:08] <mrcoolbp> just BOLD the text you are changing if you could
[18:23:20] <mrcoolbp> by adding '''around the words'''
[18:24:20] <Woods> Alright.
[18:25:28] <Woods> Ohhhh wait, this is the main site FAQ. Sorry, I meant the FAQ for the moderation page had some issues. I have not gotten to the main site page yet. (I do not read THAT fast)
[18:25:43] <mrcoolbp> I don't have that on the wiki
[18:26:29] <Woods> Well nevermind then :)
[18:26:58] <mrcoolbp> what else you got in there?
[18:27:04] <mrcoolbp> oh expansion?
[18:27:46] <mrcoolbp> oh, sorry following like 4 discussions right now
[18:28:08] <mrcoolbp> woods, I'll look at the case-issue
[18:28:19] <Woods> lol no worries. I will let you know when I am done with all of the pages, and send an e-mail or something.
[18:28:31] <mrcoolbp> cool
[18:48:30] <Woods> Mrcoolbp: Alright, I finished those four pages, just a few notes. You want them here?
[18:51:30] <mrcoolbp> if there are only a few, sure
[18:51:33] <mrcoolbp> Woods ^
[18:52:46] <Woods> Mrcoolbp: On the Moderation page- "Descriptive words like 'Flamebait' or 'Informative'. " This sentence is weird and either needs to be removed or reworded.
[18:53:16] <mrcoolbp> open to suggestions then
[18:53:32] <Woods> On the Moderation page- The titles, or "questions" on the FAQ section need to have consistent capitalization, it currently switches between camelcase, and normal.
[18:53:43] <mrcoolbp> fixed already
[18:53:47] <Woods> I will have to think on that for a minute
[18:54:14] <Woods> The About SN page had the footer popping up too early, but I am sure that was just a fluke with my browser.
[18:54:33] <Woods> The main site FAQ page looked perfect.
[18:55:05] <Woods> And the Submission page- "but will also increase its chance of being accepted in the first instance:" I think we should chop off "In the first instance"
[18:55:21] <mrcoolbp> Woods: saw the txt overflow, paulej said he would fix that after lunch.
[18:55:25] <mrcoolbp> Woods: agreed
[18:55:28] <Woods> Or change it to "In the first place". But that may be a US/UK thing
[18:55:36] <Woods> Excellent.
[18:57:25] <mrcoolbp> Woods: "There are some general things that are recommended when making a story submission which enhance the reader's enjoyment of your submission and increase its chance of being accepted"
[18:57:54] <Woods> And back on the descriptive words bit... Maybe just adding "They are" will fix it. So "...next to comments. Descriptive words..." becomes "...next to comments. They are descriptive words..."
[18:58:01] <Woods> Looks great.
[18:58:08] <mrcoolbp> nice
[18:59:02] <Woods> And that should be it, everything else appeared to be fine.
[18:59:54] <mrcoolbp> cool, ping me if you find a good way to re-word the "Descriptive Words" section
[19:00:01] <mrcoolbp> and thanks for the help!
[19:00:04] <Woods> Sure thing.
[19:05:52] <Woods> Mrcoolbp, how about this: "Moderation takes place by clicking the drop down list that appears next to comments, and selecting one of the adjectives like 'Flamebait' or 'Informative'. Bad words will reduce..."
[19:06:28] * mrcoolbp goes to read
[19:07:35] <mrcoolbp> yeah, I like that
[19:07:38] * mrcoolbp adds it in

[19:42:55] <janrinok> yeah, saw them as I went afk - but thx.
[19:46:38] <janrinok> paulej72: on the About SoylentNews page, the link under Suggested Reading should read 'Submission Guidelines'
[19:48:10] <paulej72> fixed
[19:53:45] <janrinok> paulej72: On Slash Moderation - Goals. Either put a '.' at the end of every line or at the end of none of them.
[19:55:47] <paulej72> janrinok: done
[19:57:03] <janrinok> paulej72: in 10 tips for improving Karma - Post Early - correct the 'waaay' to read 'way'. I know what is meant but it doesn't seem to be helpful in this instance.
[19:57:56] <paulej72> done
[20:02:30] <paulej72> deploy tested and working
[20:02:53] <janrinok> paulej72: they're the only one's that I've found. You won't find the last one until it goes live!
[20:03:10] <janrinok> s/one's/ones/
[20:03:40] <paulej72> janrinok: and they all will be stuipidly obvious once pointed out.
[20:03:46] <janrinok> correct!
[20:14:37] <paulej72> ran spell check and found three spelling mistakes and on UK u hanging about
[20:14:49] <paulej72> s/on/one/
[20:15:14] <janrinok> which doc?
[20:17:06] <paulej72> each one except faq
[20:17:22] <paulej72> basically one on each
[20:18:54] <paulej72> overal on moderation, memebers on about and favour on editorial. I think there was another one on moderation that I am forgetting
[20:28:13] <janrinok> interesting that no-one - myself included- spotted them visually. Well I wouldn't fault the 'favour' - it is correct ;-)
[20:48:44] <mrcool|afk> paulej72: remove this sentence "We're more interested in getting the stories out quickly than we are in making sure every post passes the white glove test."
[20:48:48] <mrcool|afk> from the about page
[20:48:54] <mrcool|afk> er FAQ sorry
[20:49:20] <mrcool|afk> and first sentence "community driven" should have a hyphen (someone pointed that out)

[21:51:43] <paulej72> done

[21:56:20] <mrcoolbp> meh, either way
[21:56:48] <paulej72> I think under the circumstances we should leave it out for now.
[22:01:24] <paulej72> mrcoolbp: truned the admin email at the bottom of the faq into a link
[22:01:40] <mrcoolbp> cool
[22:01:58] <mrcoolbp> there's been a bunch of eyes for review, I think we could go live with these right?
[22:03:16] <paulej72> I can do a quick and dirty, and just update the files on producion. Let the integration of the files into the repo happen after Ncommander gets his bluetooth keyboard
