[19:56:41] <n1> how are things, take it the in-laws arrived safe?

[19:57:38] <mrcoolbp> hey janrinok
[19:57:53] <janrinok> mrcoolbp: hi, how are you?
[19:58:14] <mrcoolbp> alright, it's my day off, but I have sooo much to do
[19:58:34] <janrinok> I _know_ that feeling!
[19:59:24] <janrinok> Thought I ought to post some stories but it seems that n1 has everything under control.
[20:00:19] <n1> if you could just give the stories in queue a check over, which looks like someone is doing
[20:00:22] <n1> we're all good today
[20:00:41] <janrinok> yep, that somebody is me....
[20:00:52] <n1> will make sure i get a few more in for overnight this evening
[20:01:38] <n1> :)
[20:04:15] <janrinok> n1: spoke to LamX by email - he's OK and will be back on IRC in the near future.
[20:05:10] <n1> ok, good to check, as it has been a while. i assumed things were ok but not great, as he's still posting and hasnt emailed saying the sky is falling.
[20:07:18] <janrinok> He's had a few probs but it on the upside now
[20:08:46] <n1> that's good, and respect to him for keeping the stories going even during what ever else is going on
[20:10:54] <mrcoolbp> gonna drop this story in a few minutes, can you guys review: http://soylentnews.org
[20:11:20] <mrcoolbp> for spelling errors or whatever
[20:13:19] <n1> checking
[20:13:31] <n1> do you want me to set it to publish after i look?
[20:16:33] <n1> one spelling error, which fixed. otherwise looks ready to go
[20:17:35] <mrcoolbp> hold on
[20:19:20] <mrcoolbp> That should do it.
[20:19:44] <mrcoolbp> editors: please keep it on top for at least 4 hours if you can

[23:05:53] <paulej72> To approve user submissions so they show up as stories, click on the "XX Submissions" link (XX being a number). This will take you to a page listing user submissions.
[23:05:54] <paulej72> Above the submissions list are links that will reload this page according to sections. For instance, if you click on the link for "articles" this page will only display submissions that are in the "articles" section. The links on the left are categories set by the second column.
[23:05:55] <paulej72> Next is the submissions list.
[23:05:57] <paulej72> The first column is a notes block. This is for the author to write a note pertaining to a particular submission, so the author, or other authors, can have something to refer to in the case where they may not want to publish a particular until a later time.
[23:05:58] <paulej72> The second column is also for classifying submissions. Unless you have hundreds of submissions like slashdot does, you probably won't need those fields.
[23:06:00] <paulej72> The third column is which section the submission is in.
[23:06:01] <paulej72> The fourth column contains a box that if checked will delete the submission.
[23:06:02] <paulej72> The fifth column is the timestamp of the submission.
[23:06:03] <paulej72> The sixth column is the title of the submission, which is a link to edit the submission. If this is clicked, it takes you to a submission editing page that works just like the "Story editing page", and in fact if the author previews the submission, the submission then is pulled up in the story editing page where the author can edit the submission further, and decide if the story should be published or not.
[23:06:04] <paulej72> The seventh column is the name of the person who made the submission.
[23:11:34] <mrcoolbp> yup
[23:15:25] <mrcoolbp> paulej72: where you talking to "nick?" he quit just before you posted that
[23:15:55] <paulej72> no I just posted it from the docs I was reading

[23:21:33] <mrcoolbp> paulej72: any more thoughts on improving the commenting system in the submission queue? having multiple editor able to leave a short comment would be really useful I think
[23:22:53] <paulej72> that would be a good idea, but would probably be down the road a bit
