Etherpad setup guide
by John Poelstra
I realize this is slightly off topic, but the Etherpad FAD was discussed
here so wondering if someone can assist.
I'm looking for a detailed, step by step guide to get the latest
Etherpad release running on Fedora, including any gotchas and work
arounds. I understand packaging is still not complete.
Was anything like that created at the FAD or can someone provide a good
URL? I haven't been able to find anything comprehensive in my searching.
Thanks,
John

Resetting pt4 Drupal theme
by Paul W. Frields
Since it looks like we'll be coming at our theme with a fresh start
toward making it look more like fp.o, I'm going to install the
standard 960 theme:
http://drupal.org/project/ninesixty
And I'm going to reset the theme that users see to a more standard
default, making it less interesting to look at for now, but easier to
read. At any time, users should be able to reset their own personal
theme by selecting "My account > Edit" from the navigation menu. That
way, as designers are working on the new theme, they can see their
work in progress -- while visitors will see a standard, fully working
theme.

* Feeds, PHP requirements (stickster, 19:33:44)
* asrob was looking at Feeds, which has expanded functions for dealing
with RSS and other stuff. However, it requires PHP 5.2 which EL-5
ain't got. (stickster, 19:34:16)
* Drupal is smart enough to know when we've got the requirements
installed, and won't let us turn on a module requiring them if
they're not there. (stickster, 19:39:42)

optional, can simply be %exclude'd (stickster, 19:48:55)

Conversation on promoting feed items
by Paul W. Frields
Interesting conversation on #fedora-mktg and I wanted it to be seen by
others who are working or considering working with us on
Drupal/Insight. The first bit concerns the PHP requirement for Feeds:
<asrob> stickster: btw I tested Feeds module last week, it runs very
well with PHP 5.2
<stickster> asrob: So is the requirement in error then?
asrob: Might be worth emailing the maintainers to see whether they
can describe exactly what the requirement is for -- if we don't use a
specific feature, for example, we could simply proceed
<asrob> stickster: I solved it
<stickster> asrob: Can you describe this on the list please?
Peter, can you give us some more information about what you solved
here and in what situations we might still need an upgraded PHP (if at
all)?
* * *
The next bit concerns how Feeds works against content to create nodes
in Drupal:
<asrob> stickster: yeah, but there is a problem with Feeds, it creates
nodes from the imported things
stickster: imho we don't want to this
<stickster> asrob: I think we want to avoid that, correct
Oh wait
asrob: Actually, in specific situations we may *want* to create nodes
In other words, we want to be able to take a copy of a posted blog
entry on the Planet that is a very good post or piece of news.
Then we can promote it on Insight, without having all of the posts
from the Planet listed.
<asrob> hm
<stickster> Maybe making a node in that case is actually desirable
<asrob> okay, I will see what can I do
<asrob> stickster: a solution, we import news into the moderation
queue of drupal and the moderators review these things <-- what think
about of this?
<asrob> ahh
<asrob> stickster: what do you think about this? ^^
<stickster> asrob: That could work -- it matches the workflow I was
thinking of
In other words, it looks something like this:
1. Someone on the Marketing team sees a good post on Planet that
should be promoted
2. Visit Insight/Drupal to import or approve/promot post
3. Post appears in a recent community news area
<asrob> ah, I see, this is very helpful information
Basically, in the next phase we'd like Insight to hold more community
created material. We want to be able to promote existing material
that comes to the Planet. Insight is meant for a broader audience
than people who are Fedora contributors. Not everything on the Planet
is worth carrying on Insight, but specific posts -- like team
bounties, special announcements about test days or release events,
etc. -- would be worth promoting on this site. That way they would
reach tech writers, journalists, the general public, and so on.
Peter, are you interested in working further on this functionality?

Fedora Insight theme
by Peter Borsa
Hi!
I spoke with Hiemanshu and Paul about FI theme today. I added myself
to the theme devel group. Thank you again for the sponsorship. I have
2 questions: the first one, who would like to help us? The second one,
is the current theme a sub-theme? If it is not, then we have 2 choice.
We will create a new theme from scratch or we will convert the current
theme to a sub-theme.

by Peter Borsa
Hi!
Anyone can tell me what about workflow, like Events? I would like to
work with Events. I would create an Events content type and a custom
view.
