06:56 < conseo> mcallan: i find the votetrack scrolling a with a gap to the top confusing still.
07:01 < conseo> mcallan: can you set the forum to the votorola mailing list here? http://zelea.com/w/User:Mike-ZeleaCom/G/p/vohall
19:10 < mcallan> done
19:12 < mcallan> conseo: vote track should be on bottom, i think.  that'll at least eliminate the confusion of it covering the talk track
19:57 < conseo> ok, one could also put the talktrack above the votetrack (basically all non-sticky tracks, but i guess in the archive it would be the talktrack then, which would make the order incosistent...)
20:08 < conseo> mcallan: it would make sense to lock the homepage poll with your position for the homepage imo
20:09 < conseo> (hmm sounds confusing, i just mean to set the stage on home.html to the position in the wiki)
21:32 < mcallan> re "one could also put the talktrack above the votetrack".  that's what i meant.  how inconsistent?
21:33 < mcallan> ah, interesting idea about home page... but it's also nice to present blank stage, and let user explore from scratch.  (vohall is very untypical poll)
21:37 < conseo> maybe untypical poll, but radical in our sense to apply it to our homepage
21:38 < conseo> also the view looks empty and almost broken, but still you might be right
21:39 < conseo> but given the fact that we often only get a shot of a quick visit (i guess), exposing the tools early would cause more curiousity
21:40 < conseo> would be fun if you could land in the vohall poll and then see on my page, that votorola has many homepages :-)
21:42 < mcallan> maybe ur right about default poll.  also i agree about showing fact of many pages.  not sure how u suggest to do that, but i was thinking of crosslinking the home pages themselves
21:42 < conseo> good idea!
21:43 < mcallan> remind me later about setting default poll, ok.  i know i'll be working on home page soon,  just now, there's metgov to deal with
21:44 < mcallan> methinks we are going to busy beavers if this goes through
21:44 < mcallan> (to be)
21:52 < mcallan> conseo: hey, u released!
21:54 < conseo> yes, it is ok, even if there are some problems left
21:54 < mcallan> definitely
21:57 < mcallan> conseo: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at v.polyc0l0r.net
22:11 < conseo> i know, i have problem with my reverse proxy
22:11 < conseo> reset to redirect now
22:12 < conseo> should work now, will have a look into it tomorrow
22:15 < mcallan> works
22:26 < conseo> problem is that my page is german. during our first talks you mentioned bridge persons translating from one language to another. i guess this is a case for this
22:34 < mcallan> yes, for sure.  we don't support it yet, but we can whenever there is demand.  same bridging facility could be used to translate among different drafting media and media, as well as human languages.  http://mail.zelea.com/list/votorola/2010-August/000576.html
22:37 < mcallan> different drafting media and _formats_
22:42 < conseo> yes, sounds reasonable. i can create two language versions, yet the difference bridge has to understand the links to them, right?
22:45 < conseo> also in my mannheim poll embedding maps would be cool... i know the geomapper is not important atm. and have found this https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Slippy_Map_MediaWiki_Extension. having the maps embedded in the content might not be a bad idea...
22:45 < conseo> still the zooming to an area and seeing all linked polls would be nice
22:47 < conseo> pins and markers are not supported, but: "Currently disabled while we decide best wiki syntax"
22:47 < conseo> we could gather that data to allow browsing issues by geocontext with implicit "tagging" :-)
22:50 < mcallan> also to consider, we will have geospace curtain at some point
22:50 < mcallan> re diff bridge, yes it's part of what's needed to make it work
23:01 < conseo> ok
23:01 < conseo> i am off for today
23:01 < conseo> gn8
23:04 < mcallan> n8 guy, cu soon
