[11:39:32] <satabdi> kaustavdm, there?
[11:43:29] <sunu> Hi satabdi :-)
[11:43:38] <satabdi> hi sunu
[11:44:41] <sunu> Oh, I see the mail.
[11:44:53] <sunu> let me mail you the admin password.
[11:45:13] <sunu> satabdi: Or should I just pm it to you?
[11:45:43] <satabdi> pm will be ok
[11:46:23] <sunu> Hmm .. already forwarded you the mail.
[11:46:31] <sunu> See if you got it.
[11:48:13] -!- gem [gem!~nandaja@117.201.141.96] has joined #wfs-india
[11:48:15] <satabdi> yep
[11:48:19] <satabdi> got it
[11:49:59] -!- gem_ has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
[11:51:27] <satabdi> sunu, thank you :)

[11:57:46] <sunu> hi kaustavd`
[12:04:30] <satabdi> sunu, I think we should make a presentation for the git workshop - just like the one we made for the localization hackathon. what say?
[12:06:35] <sunu> satabdi: sure.
[12:07:47] <sunu> Mail me the text. I'll make it.
[12:07:49] <satabdi> sunu, my next question - will you have time to do it this time too? you have your creative freedom and if you want to come up with something kickass and even better than the last one you are most welcome! :)
[12:08:22] <sunu> satabdi: Hmm.. I've time.
[12:08:35] <sunu> 2 days gap now between exams.
[12:08:42] <satabdi> he he
[12:09:01] <satabdi> you are in second year of college?
[12:09:09] <sunu> yes.
[12:09:18] <satabdi> what are you studying? Computer Science?
[12:09:19] -!- gem has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
[12:09:24] <sunu> Yep.
[12:16:04] <sunu> hmm http://bartaz.github.io is cool. The same tool. But the placement and animations are much cooler.
[12:18:03] <sunu> And there is http://lab.hakim.se
[12:22:36] -!- gem [gem!~nandaja@117.204.124.121] has joined #wfs-india
[12:27:29] <satabdi> both are cool
[12:27:53] <satabdi> although I think http://bartaz.github.io looks even cooler!
[12:30:38] <sunu> yep. The first one is more cool.
[12:31:20] <sunu> Mail me the content so I can experiment a bit with the placement etc.
[12:31:47] * sunu is going take a nap now.
[12:37:14] <satabdi> i do not have the content ready - give me some time

[13:11:11] <kaustavdm> sunu, sorry I had gone to take an afternoon nap, but that stretched to a sleep :-(
[13:11:16] <kaustavdm> and I missed all the discussion here
[13:11:34] <kaustavdm> impress.js is an excellent tool. Go ahead
[13:17:29] -!- satabdi [satabdi!~satabdi@unaffiliated/satabdi] has joined #wfs-india
[13:22:22] <kaustavdm> satabdi, hi
[13:22:38] <kaustavdm> sorry just saw your email, had dozed off
[13:28:09] <kaustavdm> satabdi, have you changed the admin password for the mailing list? I'll need that password to connect the website with the list
[13:28:50] <satabdi> no
[13:30:12] <satabdi> the password that sunu sent me is working for me.
[13:30:12] <kaustavdm> wow, strange, it was not letting me sign in, but right after I asked you, it took me in
[13:30:20] <kaustavdm> :-P
[13:30:21] <satabdi> i just logged in
[13:30:23] <satabdi> :)
[13:30:30] <kaustavdm> hey some quick stuff about the website
[13:30:51] <kaustavdm> as i had said i'll be busy this week, so i won't have much time, either on the website or on the list
[13:31:24] <kaustavdm> can you give me a list of what are the stuff you are thinking on making public on the website?
[13:35:47] <kaustavdm> one more thing: I'm keeping only you as the administrator of the mailing list. Let Tarashish and me be moderators at the maximum. Otherwise, publicly, WFS-IN will have too many non-Ws on the administrative part
[13:39:33] <kaustavdm> and I'm using mail-archive.com for archiving the mailing list

[15:03:42] <satabdi> kaustavdm, sorry I was away hence missed your message
[15:04:11] <satabdi> kaustavdm, i am okay with your suggestion on the mailing list
[15:06:08] <satabdi> as for the website - i'll reply in the mail thread whatever comes to my mind
[15:06:29] <satabdi> whenever you find time, you can work on them
[15:08:43] <kaustavdm> satabdi, you there?
[15:08:48] <satabdi> yes
[15:08:54] <kaustavdm> check the site
[15:09:01] <kaustavdm> i cleaned up quite a lot of stuff
[15:09:42] -!- shantanu has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[15:10:17] <satabdi> ah
[15:10:18] <satabdi> :)
[15:10:21] <satabdi> i see
[15:10:38] <satabdi> it is looking clean
[15:11:01] <satabdi> kaustavdm, is there any reason to remove the box containing mailing list?
[15:11:01] <kaustavdm> btw, I have made you an admin on the website. If this is the first time you are using Drupal, it might seem a bit overwhelming. But for managing content, use the "content" item in the admin toolbar on top
[15:11:12] <satabdi> i have used drupal
[15:11:16] <kaustavdm> no, i am still doing it. Knew you liked the box :D
[15:11:20] <satabdi> :)
[15:11:35] <kaustavdm> oh, then cool. Less effort for me :-D
[15:11:56] <kaustavdm> The content types are quite self-explanatory
[15:11:59] <satabdi> after reading your email - i think the newsflash should stay
[15:12:05] <kaustavdm> Oh
[15:12:41] <satabdi> we have quite a few GSocers/OPW interns among us - and it would give publicity to such opportunities
[15:13:17] <satabdi> what happened?
[15:13:17] <kaustavdm> okay
[15:13:29] <kaustavdm> i just deleted those blocks, thinking that we won't need them :-P
[15:13:35] <kaustavdm> no issue, can bring them back in 5 mins
[15:13:51] <kaustavdm> i am in a bit of a hurry, which is why i have been hurrying things today
[15:13:56] <satabdi> um - i am sorry - you have to redo the work
[15:14:07] <satabdi> for my suggestion..
[15:14:13] <satabdi> *ha
[15:14:14] <kaustavdm> No issue, i'll place it below the events block
[15:14:15] <satabdi> *had
[15:14:32] * satabdi is frustrated with her stiff keyboard!!
[15:14:51] <kaustavdm> smile. you got that one correct without a typo :-)
[15:15:15] <kaustavdm> ya so your suggestion..?
[15:15:51] <satabdi> had to be ultra cautious :)
[15:16:17] <kaustavdm> lol
[15:16:24] -!- joshina [joshina!~joshina@122.172.194.248] has joined #wfs-india
[15:17:32] <kaustavdm> on inner pages: events, newsflash, user and navigation menus go below the content, above the footer
[15:17:41] <satabdi> i think once I try adding contents, i will be able to make more suggestions
[15:17:53] <kaustavdm> on homepage, I'll place newsflash below the "Events" block
[15:18:02] <kaustavdm> that will keep more focus on the Events block
[15:18:04] <kaustavdm> what do you think?
[15:18:06] <kaustavdm> ya
[15:19:11] <satabdi> yes
[15:20:02] <satabdi> in any case there won't be too many frequent newsflashes - but i do hope we will keep on having events
[15:20:22] <satabdi> i have just written a reply to your mail
[15:20:27] <satabdi> let me send that
[15:20:58] <kaustavdm> okay
[15:21:35] <kaustavdm> saw it
[15:21:47] <kaustavdm> newsflash will take more area than the mailing list
[15:21:53] <kaustavdm> so it is better to put it below events
[15:22:06] <kaustavdm> otherwise, it will look crammy and take up more vertical space
[15:22:10] <kaustavdm> i think we have a good balance now
[15:22:21] <kaustavdm> latest 5 items will show on both events and newsflashes
[15:22:32] <satabdi> agreed
[15:22:46] <kaustavdm> the pattern remains similar on the inner pages, so users won't have much problem in getting into the site's flow
[15:26:05] -!- joshina has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[15:27:10] <kaustavdm> by default "Articles" are unpublished. you will need to mark them published manually
[15:27:11] <satabdi> kaustavdm, how do the events get displayed on the home page?
[15:27:16] <kaustavdm> yes
[15:27:28] <kaustavdm> the Git Workshop you have added is unpublished presently
[15:28:30] <satabdi> have made it published
[15:28:52] <satabdi> the events page is displaying it
[15:29:38] <kaustavdm> check
[15:30:25] <satabdi> ah
[15:30:32] <kaustavdm> i'll need to change the format
[15:30:35] <satabdi> now it has come - did you do something?
[15:30:42] <satabdi> which format?
[15:31:08] <kaustavdm> changing the taxonomy terms had messed up term ids
[15:31:19] <kaustavdm> the events block was filtering wrong category term
[15:31:23] <satabdi> okay
[15:31:24] -!- joshina [joshina!~joshina@122.172.194.248] has joined #wfs-india
[15:32:08] <satabdi> one more request - can you please make the Events in the home page centre-aligned
[15:32:33] <kaustavdm> format = the way content is displayed
[15:32:41] <kaustavdm> just the "Events" block title?
[15:32:44] <kaustavdm> on the homepage?
[15:33:07] <satabdi> yes - the Events block title as well as the titles of the events
[15:33:37] <satabdi> and are we displaying the whole text of the event in the home page in the preview?
[15:35:34] <kaustavdm> no. it is trimmed
[15:35:49] <kaustavdm> centering everything won;t look nice
[15:35:56] <kaustavdm> particularly for larger titles
[15:37:34] <satabdi> how did you add the mailing list block?
[15:39:07] <kaustavdm> http://www.wfs-india.org
[15:39:16] <kaustavdm> through Panels
[15:44:21] <kaustavdm> hey do we need to show content extract in the events block?
[15:50:06] <kaustavdm> brb
[15:50:12] * sunu is back
[15:51:30] * kaustavdm is back as well
[15:53:30] <kaustavdm> satabdi, is this good for now? I'll leave now. If you have any thing else needed to be done, shoot an email.
[15:53:36] <kaustavdm> bye
[15:55:12] <sunu> bye! the site looks a lot cleaner now :)
[15:55:26] <kaustavdm> thanks sunu
[15:59:58] <sunu> kaustavdm: We won't have that FOSS opertunity section?
[16:01:28] sunu is now known as SunuThePirate
[16:10:46] <kaustavdm> SunuThePirate: its there now
[16:10:51] <kaustavdm> it's*
[16:11:44] <kaustavdm> also, I've made the "Name" field mandatory in user profile
[16:14:21] <SunuThePirate> One more thing.
[16:14:27] <kaustavdm> yes
[16:14:40] <SunuThePirate> I'm already registered for the mailing list.
[16:15:56] <SunuThePirate> So it would be great if the mailing list link could point me to the archives or something.
[16:16:05] -!- satabdi has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[16:16:34] <kaustavdm> I've done a quick fix now
[16:16:47] <kaustavdm> ideally, we should have a static page for the mailing list
[16:16:56] <kaustavdm> with details about how you can subscribe and where to go for the archives
[16:17:14] <kaustavdm> I have linked the mailing list up with mail-archive.com
[16:17:15] <SunuThePirate> yes. like the one I showed you that day :D
[16:17:29] <SunuThePirate> that would be great :-)
[16:17:46] <kaustavdm> by "static page" i am referring to the Drupal "static page" content type on the website
[16:17:51] <kaustavdm> not a static page as in static html
[16:18:19] <SunuThePirate> yeah, we can add the stuff we want in that anyway, right?
[16:18:37] <kaustavdm> ya
[16:18:48] <kaustavdm> and then have this homepage block link to *that* page
[16:18:53] <SunuThePirate> I mean the forms that post to the actual mailman installation etc.
[16:19:04] <kaustavdm> hehe, you are still waiting for forms?
[16:19:05] <SunuThePirate> yes, that would be really nice.
[16:19:07] <kaustavdm> Drupal handles that dude
[16:19:09] <kaustavdm> ;-)
[16:19:14] <kaustavdm> you just need to signup on the website
[16:19:24] <kaustavdm> go to the "Mailing List" tab in your "My Account"
[16:19:24] <SunuThePirate> :-P
[16:19:32] <SunuThePirate> yeah, done that.
[16:19:32] <kaustavdm> select the list you want to subscribe to
[16:19:41] <kaustavdm> unsubscription works the same way
[16:19:43] -!- gem has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[16:20:13] <SunuThePirate> btw http://www.wfs-india.org works better than http://www.wfs-india.org
[16:20:40] <kaustavdm> the first link will give access denied to anonymous users
[16:20:59] <kaustavdm> the second link will take anonymous users to login form, and once they login it will take them to the mailing list tabs
[16:21:11] <SunuThePirate> Oh!
[16:21:18] <kaustavdm> for logged in users, the second link will take them to the my account page, but not to the mailing list tabs
[16:21:20] <kaustavdm> tab*
[16:21:25] <kaustavdm> so it was a trade-off
[16:21:42] <SunuThePirate> hmm .. I was refering to that only.
[16:21:55] <kaustavdm> i know, i have tested it
[16:22:47] <SunuThePirate> Now everything looks quite set.
[16:23:27] <SunuThePirate> I only hope that suffiecient number of people turn up for the event.
