15:54.14tsJeffM2501: Hi
15:54.23JeffM2501yes I saw your message
15:54.30JeffM2501not much of a page
15:54.53tsI'll add more step by step
15:55.05JeffM2501I'm not sure the wiki is the best place for it, as there are many versions to document.
15:55.07tsbut I have concerns about the kick
15:55.11JeffM2501kick?
15:55.27tsRead..last section in wiki pag
15:55.28tse
15:55.57JeffM2501oh, if you send the new connect to old servers?
15:56.04tsyes
15:56.13JeffM2501scripts should not do that
15:56.22tsStats!
15:56.28JeffM2501if they are scaning the list server, the know the protocoll
15:56.39JeffM2501so that stats site shoudl never send that out to an old server.
15:56.52JeffM2501the only one that dosn't know is the ibot type one off
15:57.00JeffM2501and it can try the old way first, then the new
15:57.18tsThe old way first is not good
15:57.20JeffM2501I'll rework your page today
15:57.31tsYou will have timeouts then
15:57.32JeffM2501sure it is, if it's a new server, it'll just sit for a bit
15:57.33JeffM2501yes
15:57.47tsand timeouts are not good
15:57.54JeffM2501but there is nothing esle you can do unless you know the protocoll
15:58.05JeffM2501the ibot type one off, dosn't need to be super fast
15:58.22tserr..
15:58.36JeffM2501the case where the timeout is important is when you are doing a lot of them
15:58.41JeffM2501like scaning the list server
15:58.51JeffM2501and when you scan the list server, you know the protocoll
15:58.57JeffM2501so you can just do the right one off the bat
15:59.06tsLook at http://guc.saturos.de/ for example. It's also similar to ibot. People query it a lot and want real time results
15:59.25JeffM2501where does it get it's list from?
15:59.30JeffM2501the list?
15:59.34tsHardcoded
15:59.41JeffM2501then they can hardcode what type to use.
15:59.46JeffM2501for speed
15:59.48JeffM2501it's not that hard
15:59.55JeffM2501it's just diferent
15:59.59TimRikerts: what happened to the old network protocol page?
16:00.02tsyou can also add user entered servers
16:00.14tsTimRiker: What old network protocol page?
16:00.24JeffM2501ts, then he should have an inteface to ether set what one it is, or try both, as that can be a slow option
16:00.31tsin old wiki? Old wiki is gone and no longer accessable
16:00.34JeffM2501Ts it was on the old wiki, and should have been ported
16:00.42JeffM2501all the pages on the old wiki were moved over.
16:00.59tsI have not found network protocol being moved
16:01.07JeffM2501then that is bad
16:01.09JeffM2501and we should move it
16:01.21JeffM2501IIRC there were also hard docs in the source tree
16:01.35TimRikerthe old wiki it gone?
16:01.43JeffM2501not gone
16:01.43tsyep
16:01.46JeffM2501no
16:01.51JeffM2501the data is still very much intact
16:01.54JeffM2501it is just disabled
16:01.57JeffM2501and not linked to
16:02.00ts4. Error type: 404
16:02.14JeffM2501that dosnt' mean it's gone, just means it's not where you are looking ;)
16:02.21JeffM2501we'd never throw data away
16:02.43tsmaybe the data but I can't look at it through web interface
16:02.57JeffM2501no, you can't
16:02.59JeffM2501it is disabled
16:03.11JeffM2501any developer can turn it back on
16:04.28TimRikerts: I don't have an issue with getting those kick messages in the old server logs. if an admin has an issue with it, then fix it in the old branch or better yet upgrade your server to the new version. :)
16:04.45JeffM2501ts, I have enabled the wiki so you can find the old docs.
16:05.02JeffM2501yeah the message shoudn't be an issue for the few systems that don't know the protocoll
16:05.14JeffM2501it's going to be a change, but change isn't bad
16:05.18JeffM2501don't fear the change ;)
16:05.19TimRikerJeffM2501: you could move it to /someothernamethanwiki/
16:05.29JeffM2501how?
16:05.38JeffM2501I disabled it cus it was geting spam filled
16:05.43TimRikerthre should be a ScriptAlias someplace.
16:05.49TimRikerI'll look...
16:05.56JeffM2501cool, thanks
16:06.11JeffM2501I was told all the pages were moved over
16:06.21JeffM2501if they were not, we need to do a recheck
16:06.48TimRikerJeffM2501: how did you remove it before?
16:06.55TimRikerrename moin.cgi ?
16:07.00JeffM2501yeah :)
16:07.05JeffM2501simple, and didn't loose data
16:08.28TimRikerit's on it's way to /oldwiki/
16:08.45JeffM2501cooleo
16:08.52JeffM2501nothing should link to it anymore
16:10.37JeffM2501ts, just so you know, it's best to write wiki articles in thrid person so they are descriptive. but if need be I'll clean yours up for you
16:10.46JeffM2501tho I think a hard doc in the tree would be best for it
16:10.49TimRikerk. oldwiki should work now.
16:10.53JeffM2501so we can have the docs with each version
16:11.13JeffM2501a single flat file will be a mess trying to document each proto version.
16:11.17TimRikerrenamed the wiki dir, updated .htaccess rules, changes the moin_config.py template.
16:11.42JeffM2501yeah I can get to it
16:11.56JeffM2501links still point to wiki tho :(
16:12.09TimRikerthat's fixable too if desired.
16:12.26JeffM2501makes searching it harder, but may not be needed
16:13.45TimRikerhow's that?
16:14.07JeffM2501can't click on a link to antoehr page with out typing it in manualy :)
16:14.12JeffM2501so digin thru it is harder
16:14.35TimRikerlinks in the pages should still be internal. just the sideboard is external.
16:14.44JeffM2501I mean like links to pages
16:14.51JeffM2501in the contents of the main
16:15.02JeffM2501click the download page that is shown on the main
16:15.09JeffM2501tries to go to www.bzflag.org/wiki/Downloads
16:16.05TimRikerahh. hmm.
16:16.27*** part/#bzflag LongDon (n=LongDon@vpn199-012.hrz.uni-oldenburg.de)
16:16.49JeffM2501ts, honestly I don't tink we should worry too much about the other scripts. There developers are capable people and can come up with solutions. If we provide the examples in the default scripts for the current protocoll, they will figure out the best way for there needs.
16:17.05JeffM2501by "other script's I mean "other sites"
16:17.28JeffM2501we don't need to hand hold everyone

16:51.34TimRikerJBdiGriz: found it. hardcoded deep in moinmoin for some reason.
16:51.44JeffM2501the current script should do what the current prototocoll does

16:54.36JeffM2501heh
16:54.43JeffM2501see, spelling
16:55.06JeffM2501wasn't there a proto doc in the source?

16:59.59tsdonny_baker: but it's terribly outdated
17:00.32donny_bakerI have no doubt, but I think that is the one Jeff is thinking about
17:01.56JeffM2501ts, yes we know it's outdated, but better to update that then make a new one ;)
17:02.04JeffM2501all the docs we have are outdated
17:02.15TimRikerthere are a few of them. merging them and discarding the old versions would be a Good Thing.
17:02.20JeffM2501yes
17:02.32JeffM2501I think they shoudl be kept with the source
17:02.44JeffM2501as they are tied to the versions of the source they are with
17:02.49TimRikeras JeffM2501 points out, svn is the place it should live so it can change as the source does.
17:03.31TimRikerwould be nice to have a version on the web site that is checked out automagically, but a link to the page in SVN would be eaiser.
17:04.26JeffM2501that is one nice thing about SVN is that it's all a web URL :)
17:04.36tsJeffM2501: Hrm, I can not revert the change on playing.cxx
17:04.49JeffM2501what change?

17:05.48JeffM2501and you want to take it out?
17:05.58tsyes..but svn doesn't let me
17:06.07JeffM2501because I think it got taken out already

17:14.19JeffM2501where?
17:14.34JeffM2501cus if you liked it then that means my idea didnt suck :)
17:15.44JeffM2501a link in the todo to the wiki maybe?
17:17.50tsI wonder about why we don't use a tool like doxygen
17:18.40JeffM2501IIRC it's mostly based on comnents in the code right?
17:18.49tsyes
17:18.58JeffM2501not realy code when your doing a design
17:19.03JeffM2501and have no code
17:19.23JeffM2501brlcad was working on seting it up but it never got finished
17:20.48JeffM2501I think it's a lot easier to set up for a new proejct then an older one.

17:33.59JeffM2501back when you started loging :)
17:34.15brlcadi'm not aware of any doxygen dirs
17:34.19JeffM2501oh
17:34.20brlcador what that means
17:34.29brlcaddoxygen is just comments in the code
17:34.40brlcadand a doxygen processing file
17:34.47JeffM2501what's allthe XML stuff in the doc dir then?
17:34.53brlcadahh, that's docbook
17:34.54JeffM2501I thought that had to do with doxygen
17:34.55JeffM2501ahh
17:34.58JeffM2501my bad
17:35.03brlcadnothing to do with doxygen

17:37.52brlcadthere's a way to dump wikimedia data as an export for a given site, could readily automate stashing it into the source tree autogenerate other formats for distribution

17:54.31JeffM2501we may have one swap out in our list

17:55.26JeffM2501yeah I know

17:56.39JeffM2501one more slot would make it so much easier :)
17:56.46Manuhehe, true
17:57.28EpyonYou lost one slot recently?
17:57.32JeffM2501I think the comunity will like and use the task for #4
17:57.49ManuEpyon: yes
17:57.53JeffM2501#5 can be nice, but it may end up only being the hooks for somethign nice, not something useable off the bat
17:58.01Epyon:(
17:58.04JeffM2501we went from 5 to 4 yesterday
17:58.51JeffM2501it happens
17:58.59ManuI hope they stop in 4
17:59.02JeffM2501I think we did ok for a first time org
17:59.09JeffM2501the slot reorg is done
17:59.10JeffM2501we have 4
17:59.19JeffM2501the meeting for that was yesterday
17:59.31Manuah, that's good
17:59.42Manutoday was the timeline, right?
17:59.43JeffM2501we are first time, and a game, so it's understandable that others would get more then us
17:59.51JeffM2501today we have to have our finals in
18:00.03JeffM2501blrcad is debating between 4 and 5

18:00.56JeffM2501DTRemenak and myself will be doing #10
18:02.34JeffM2501for a project I'd rather have #8 over 4 or 5
18:02.46JeffM2501to do the things that #3 isn't going to do
18:03.05a_meteoriteso only 4 GCoS programmers?
18:03.12JeffM25014 slots
18:03.14JeffM2501yes
18:03.15Manua_meteorite: students
18:03.19a_meteoritethat seems about right, but it'd be nice to have more..
18:03.22KTL:)
18:03.24a_meteoriteManu: :)
18:03.32JeffM25016 would have been a sweet spot
18:03.49JeffM2501next year we will do better if we do ok this year
18:04.14a_meteoriteDoes Google accept more projects every year or can only so many get in?
18:04.15Manunext year.. who knows :)
18:04.27JeffM2501they have a limt each time they do it
18:04.30a_meteoriteI'm sure they have to have a set limit.
18:04.31a_meteoriteAh.
18:04.35JeffM2501this year they accepted more projects
18:04.46JeffM2501we got more then a number of other projects
18:04.50JeffM2501more then GCC :)
18:05.01JeffM2501we asked for a lot tho
18:05.08JeffM2501others may not have goten what they asked for
18:05.12a_meteoriteheh
18:05.14JeffM2501or not asked for many
18:05.25JeffM2501the other game asked for 4 and got 4 IIRC
18:05.32Manuif you don't ask, don't receive ;)
18:05.37JeffM2501yeah
18:05.40JeffM2501we asked for 10
18:06.06JeffM25014 shoudl be very manageable for a first shot

18:07.01JeffM2501I'll be happy if #1 and #2 get done
18:07.15JeffM2501#3 may not result in anything other then a list of thigns that don't work for us
18:07.32JeffM2501usefull info to have but not to the end users.
18:07.44a_meteoriteQuite a few proposal ideas. Any been decided on or is that to be announced?
18:08.07JeffM2501we have our list as it sits now
18:08.27JeffM2501we have to decide on who gets slot 4
18:08.42JeffM2501as our #4 and 5 person are ranked the same
18:08.52a_meteoriteAh.
18:08.53Manuwe can throw a coin, head #5 wins, tail #4 loses ;)
18:09.00JeffM2501actualy 4,5, and 6 are all ranked the same
18:09.02Erroneousheh
18:09.07JeffM2501it may come down to that
18:09.08a_meteoriteBut have the proposal ideas to be worked on been decided yet? ( http://my.bzflag.org/w/Google_Summer_of_Code#Proposal_Ideas )
18:09.15a_meteoriteOr will any of the end users ever know?
18:09.26JeffM2501a_meteorite, yes every student has submited a proposal
18:09.29JeffM2501that's what we are discussing
18:09.33a_meteoriteAhhh
18:09.34JeffM2501the list of proposals
18:09.39JeffM2501we have them all ranked
18:09.41a_meteoriteI thought you meant the list of applicants :)
18:09.50JeffM2501they go together
18:10.18a_meteoritePersonally, I'd love to see better DR and Networking
18:10.31JeffM2501there were proposals for those
18:10.31a_meteoriteBut I guess that's up to what the applicants decide :)
18:10.37a_meteoritethat's good

18:11.17JeffM2501he was #3
18:12.03Manuyes, the italian guy
18:12.16JeffM2501I mean we can have #4 work on auth deamon as part of his thing

18:13.31KTL(do they have names?)
18:13.50a_meteoriteI don't think they will until they're decided on :)
18:13.57brlcadJeffM2501: no, not finalized yet .. tis a decision to be made real soon ...
18:14.22JeffM2501they do have names, but I'm using numbers so the other mentors know and we don't give stuff away too soon before that last shuffle
18:15.31Epyona_meteorite, my proposal isn't even on that list :|
18:15.46a_meteoriteEpyon: What was yours? Can you reveal it?
18:15.55Manuheh
18:16.20Epyona_meteorite, no secret I guess, I've been talking about it a lot here... random map generators
18:16.30a_meteoriteahh
18:16.33ManuEpyon: random level you said ;)
18:16.43a_meteoriteRandom with patterns would be interesting
18:17.06EpyonManu, after some thinking I came up with the conclusion that "random map" is more accurate :P
18:17.18ManuEpyon: we have random map actually ;)
18:17.27EpyonManu, uh yeah :P
18:18.10Epyona_meteorite, there will be various generators to be tweaked by taste.
18:18.51a_meteoriteEpyon: This might be of interest to you, have you seen Thumper's Python script for generating BZ Olympics?
18:19.30ManuKTL: is not so easy :)
18:19.55EpyonKTL, no worries ;]
18:19.55Manufirst you need to be a good player to understand the tricks ;)
18:20.08KTLpyramids for example, if these things are placed randomly then tanks get stuck in them before they know it

18:25.50CBGI just told him "hell no." :)
18:25.50JeffM2501I am adding a post to the map releases stating what acceptable licenses are for releasing maps on bzbb
18:26.12ruskieerm
18:26.15KTLsussi, how large is it? i am not a native speaker but can see some mistakes
18:26.18ruskiehere's the basic one... general copyright
18:26.53ruskieyou can copy and use it as-is without modification or any local modifiaction as long as you don't distribute it etc...
18:26.57ruskiesorta like qmail and stuff
18:27.08sussihttp://german-open-tournament.de/
18:27.34JeffM2501I want to say that if you release it on bzbb, it needs to have an open source compatable license
18:27.39JeffM2501as that is what we are abbout
18:27.40JeffM2501sharing
18:28.31ruskieI guess some of the creative commons licenses might work as well
18:28.39ruskieif not all
18:28.55CBGHow would one enforce such a thing? Say a map is downloaded directly from the server, by a client, and re-hosted without permission... What can the map creator do?
18:29.05ruskiesue
18:29.18ManuCBG: he can cry
18:29.32CBGother than that?
18:29.50ruskiecall riaa or mpaa
18:29.55ManuCBG: remember all your family too ;)
18:30.01ruskieand claim the server is hosting an teh evil filesharing network
18:30.02CBGhmm?
18:30.25ManuCBG: in the way of.. you son of.. and such things
18:30.39CBGaha ;)
18:30.51ManuCBG: he also can press F12 ;)
18:30.55CBGpff
18:31.14Manuand F5 to take a probe
18:31.16ruskiemaybe add a general disputes forum on the bb so that ppl can dispute such claims
18:31.46Manuevidence I mean

18:37.14a_meteoriteyeah, the thing I didn't like about map downloading is it doesn't preserve comments
18:38.35JeffM2501there is no a clarificaiton post in the map releases section
18:41.50a_meteoriteJeffM2501: putting the license in a map file won't work for people downloading it from a server
18:41.57a_meteoritethe comments are stripped
18:42.14a_meteorite"It is highly recommended that you indicate your license in your map file, as that offers you the most protection of your work."
18:42.30ruskiewell then that needs fixing to the server... not to strip that
18:42.35a_meteoriteyeah
18:42.40JeffM2501a_meteorite, yes
18:42.49JeffM2501but a user can also remove the license
18:42.56JeffM2501it's not that it dosnt' "WORK"
18:43.07a_meteoritethey could, but it'd be a good idea to have it at least there
18:43.20a_meteoritejust to make it all legal
18:43.49JeffM2501its still legal
18:44.02JeffM2501having the license in your posted map, helps you enforce your license
18:44.05a_meteoriteif someone doesn't know the license, it's kinda hard to prove it ;)
18:44.22a_meteoritenot everyone gets maps via the bzbb or is even signed up there
18:44.22JeffM2501it's YOUR job to protect your stuff, not theres
18:44.33JeffM2501excatly we are not the guardians of your IP
18:44.46JeffM2501put your license in the server message
18:44.46a_meteoritethat's why bzflag shouldn't strip the comments.
18:44.54JeffM2501it would be nice it it didn't
18:44.59JeffM2501but it's not a requirement
18:45.08JeffM2501there are other ways to show your licnese
18:45.13a_meteoritetrue, that
18:45.21JeffM2501it's somethign we shuld look into
18:45.26JeffM2501but it dosn't make it "not work"
18:45.33ruskieor add a bit of a texture like a plaque from st that has you license in it and patch it on a wall someplace for ppl :)
18:45.45a_meteoriteheh

18:47.35a_meteoritebut I won't be able to release them on the bzbb now... I don't want GPL on my maps
18:47.35JeffM2501a_meteorite, then don't release your maps
18:47.36ruskiewell off for some patroling...
18:47.43JeffM2501thats the only way to fully protect them
18:47.57a_meteoritewhat about maps that have already been posted on the bzbb?
18:47.58JeffM2501a_meteorite, gpl is not the only license
18:48.04JeffM2501a_meteorite, read all the words
18:48.14a_meteoriteI read your post
18:48.21JeffM2501and it mentions maps on the boards then
18:48.35JeffM2501what do you not like about the GPL?
18:48.44JeffM2501you wish to restrict who can use them?
18:48.46a_meteoriteit's not restrictive enough
18:48.49a_meteoriteyeah
18:48.56JeffM2501to who?
18:49.04sussisKTL: sorry no
18:49.14JeffM2501why post it if you don't want eveyrone to use it?
18:49.20a_meteoriteto idiots who like to claim it's theirs, who modify it and claim it's theirs
18:49.28a_meteoriteit's happened many times to me
18:49.31JeffM2501the GPL protects you against that
18:49.48a_meteoriteheh, I don't want to sue ;)
18:49.59a_meteoritethough I sent a cease and desist letter once. it worked.
18:50.04JeffM2501there ya go
18:50.17JeffM2501any license that allows free unrestricuted use and distrobution is fine
18:50.23JeffM2501it can have a modification clause
18:50.28a_meteoriteoh
18:50.33JeffM2501but you can not say "you can not use this" to anyone
18:50.56JeffM2501or "you can only use it if you do XXXX"
18:51.04*** join/#bzflag herzel (i=ariel@gateway/tor/x-5615ffa4436a3d26)
18:51.06a_meteoriteI re-read your post and I don't see where it addresses maps that have already been posted at the bzbb
18:51.13a_meteoritecause I have a few posted on the bzbb
18:51.31JeffM2501"If there are any maps hosted by authors that do not agree to these terms, then the authors should remove the maps. "
18:51.36JeffM2501read harder
18:51.40a_meteoriteoh k
18:52.05a_meteoritewasn't scanning for the right term
18:52.35a_meteoriteoi, finding those topics is gonna be a pain
18:53.26JeffM2501you want to restrict use?
18:53.49JeffM2501if your ok with leting anyone use, but no mod, then leave em, as that is compatable
18:53.50a_meteoriteI don't know yet, I haven't made up my mind
18:54.07JeffM2501if you want to be shelfish, then yeah, get em off our server
18:54.26a_meteoritemmm, I only have one map posted, I'll leave it. it wasn't one of my best works.
18:54.44JeffM2501we just want to promote sharing of content
18:54.51JeffM2501just like we do with the soruce code
18:54.57a_meteoriteI get that
18:55.01JeffM2501with respect to that author's copyright of course
18:55.14JeffM2501just as we expect others to respect our copyright
18:55.17a_meteoriteI've seen a lot of people be idiotic with it though
18:55.29JeffM2501there will allways be those people
18:55.33a_meteoriteyeah
18:55.41a_meteoriteand being a game, suing is something I really don't want to do
18:55.50a_meteoriteyou aren't left with many options
18:55.53JeffM2501and as I say, the more info you publish the better you can enfoce.
18:56.41JeffM2501you know what others can do with your stuff the moment you host it on the net
18:56.44JeffM2501same for web pages
18:57.04a_meteoriteyeah
18:57.11JeffM2501an image can be downloaded and saved, and not have the license text next to it on the page saved with it
18:57.19JeffM2501downloading from the client is the same deal
18:57.57JeffM2501sure it'd be nice if we sent the comments, but there are so many ways that you can get the content with out the license, you can't relly on techicnal means to protect you
18:58.18JeffM2501I mean we coudl render the scene on the server and send out pictures, then we'd not even send the binary map
18:58.30a_meteoritehah
18:58.37a_meteoritethat's a tad over-the-top for me
18:58.57JeffM2501exactly, there are lines to be drawn
18:59.08JeffM2501sure if somone makes a patch that gets comments to the client, that's great
18:59.15JeffM2501I'm sure it'd be accepted

23:12.55CBGErroneous: that's a whole table cell
23:12.58Erroneouswhat exactly is wrong with text anyway?
23:13.07CBGwith size, colour, etc.
23:13.15JeffM2501harder to sort and add other items to it
23:13.15Erroneousit's simple, small, universal
23:13.16JeffM2501like name
23:13.24JeffM2501let me work with it then
23:13.28Erroneousdoesn't have all those unnecessary other items :)
23:13.36Erroneousif we're gonna add all that junk, keep it in a database
23:13.45Erroneouslike, oh, I dunno, the sf tracker system
23:13.48JeffM2501that is my other option
23:13.56JBdiGrizThat one also allows you to put the todos and the information next to the likely place for the changes. It's known as doxygen.
23:13.57JeffM2501and hence why this was a test

23:15.05JeffM2501well if you liked it, I'd have removed the text
23:15.26JeffM2501wonder if we can do a mass import/export to the SF stuff
23:16.10JeffM2501mostly I am looking for a place to put down where somone has said "yah I'll try to get to that"
23:16.46Erroneoustracker is the right place for that, assign it to the dev who said that
23:17.20JeffM2501should we keep them all in tracker then too?
23:17.29JeffM2501or just ones that are accepted?
23:17.37Erroneousthat would be ok with me
23:17.43JeffM2501keeping them all in there
23:17.44Erroneousaccepted?
23:17.56JeffM2501to me accepted is somone said they'd do it
23:18.00Erroneousah
23:18.06Erroneouslike assigned, but not
23:18.06JeffM2501cus it's not assigned
23:18.10Erroneousheh
23:18.29JeffM2501I'm tryin to get nice words for it here that won't freak people out :)
23:18.34Erroneoushehe
23:18.50JeffM2501tryin to make the most of our current planing kick ya know
23:18.55Erroneousheh
23:19.03The_Vaxorcistsheesh
23:19.21JeffM2501if they were all in SF, would you want a local todo? or just say "go to this URL"?
23:20.13Erroneouspersonally I would have no problem with killing the local todo if everything was entered correctly as a bug or rfe.  some people (like, oh, Fearless) would probably have a prolem with that though.
23:20.52JeffM2501TimRiker, do you prefer a flat file todo? or having it all on SF in a tracker?
23:21.16Erroneousyes, things can be retrackerized (woohoo, new word)
23:21.47JeffM2501hmm, may be nice then to have a bug tracker and a RFE tracker, then move them to a todo tracker when we look at them and say "yeah lets do that"
23:21.55JeffM2501then devs can pull from the todo one
23:22.28Erroneouscould use priority tags for that
23:22.57Erroneousand, of course, the closed/rejected status :)
23:23.14JeffM2501can we add statuses?
23:23.19JeffM2501stati?
23:23.19TimRikerJeffM2501: don't care. one or the other but not both. I guess I tend to put real TODO's in the file and let users add wish list things to the tracker.
23:23.46JeffM2501TimRiker, so do you like there being a seperate User entry section for stuff, then one that is more "approved"?
23:24.37TimRikerdon't care much. need to be able to mark them somehow. but a priority or whatever it offers would work.
23:24.42JeffM2501ok
23:25.05JeffM2501if they dont' have an import method it's suck to have to enter 111 items by hand
23:26.25TimRikerso is there an approved list for gsoc? I still see the unlikely bar on the web, but not a "approved" bit.
23:26.52JeffM2501that happens in 34 min
23:27.04JeffM2501we have till 5 to shuffle
23:27.08JeffM2501we are done shuffling
23:27.17JeffM2501there is a small small posibility we'll get another slot
23:28.41Winnyjeff, if you still care, I found it :p
23:28.48JeffM2501it's ok Winny
23:28.53JeffM2501thanks for trying tho

23:29.47*** join/#bzflag poolio (n=poolio@c-69-251-3-107.hsd1.md.comcast.net)
23:29.53TimRikerso the "likely" line has 4 above it.
23:29.58JeffM2501yes
23:30.02JeffM2501we lost a slot yesterday
23:30.07TimRikerdoes that mean we're really only getting 4 approved?
23:30.14JeffM2501yes
23:30.17JeffM2501as it sits not
23:30.18JeffM2501now
23:30.23JeffM2501we got more then GCC :)
23:30.33TimRikerclearly google does not put the focus on gaming that they need too.
23:30.55JeffM2501actualy, they specificly say NO GAMES
23:31.03JeffM2501we got in due to our achedemic use
23:31.21JeffM2501and we are a first year project
23:31.28JeffM2501so we are lower priority
23:31.39TimRikerah. cool! didn't know that part.
23:31.56JeffM2501if we do well this year, then we'll be able to get more next year
23:31.56TimRikerso we are a "AI development laboratory environment" ? :)
23:32.02JeffM2501yeah kinda
23:33.09JeffM2501mostly I tink they don't want to deal with every kiddie quake mod out there
23:33.41TimRikerhow do you know how many gcc got?
23:34.42JeffM25012
23:34.46JeffM2501last list I saw
23:35.03TimRikerwhere was the list?
23:35.15JeffM2501on the mailing list
23:35.19JeffM2501brlcad sent me a copy
23:35.51JeffM2501they do skew tward web apps
23:35.59JeffM2501drupal got like 25
23:36.04JeffM2501it is there money tho
23:36.58purple_cowthat doesn't really surprise me
23:37.04Erroneousyeah, it makes sense for them to support things that help them more
23:37.08JeffM2501indeed
23:37.08purple_cowSoC is a big recruiting venture for them :P
23:38.40JeffM25014 will be a nice number for us to ensure we manage
23:38.58JeffM2501if we can do that realy good, then we can do more next year, that's how I see it
23:39.48JeffM2501we are 1 of only 2 games to get in
23:39.49TimRikeranyone that pays for bzflag development at any scale gets my thanx.
23:40.00JeffM2501indeed
23:40.08TimRiker2? you counting crystal space? or is there another actual game?
23:40.10JeffM2501and it's made us evaluate what we need done, another good thing for us
23:40.16TimRikeragreed
23:40.20JeffM2501there is another game system that has a smaple game
23:40.26JeffM2501CS is used for non game stuff too
23:40.35TimRikerahh
23:41.05JeffM2501ogre got some slots too
23:44.26JeffM2501hmm, can't add a new status on SF
23:44.35JeffM2501type may be the best thing to do
23:45.31JeffM2501cus I don't want to change the group, or the category
23:48.52JeffM2501hmm they don't have a tracker permision to let it be viewable by anyone, but only let project members post to it :(
23:49.10JeffM2501purple_cow, does google's systems suck less?
23:49.25purple_cowit sucks marginally less than SF
23:49.33purple_cowthe thing that I like most about it is the labels system

23:52.20JeffM2501if I could add a status, that'd do it, or if I could make a tracker that is dev only to edit.

23:54.52brlcadwoo, interesting dev mail
23:56.04brlcadTimRiker: gcc only asked for four, some issue with mentors -- they could have gotten more according to comments made on google channel
23:56.40CBGrandomparticle: what pillbox server? hepcat?
23:56.47randomparticleyes
23:56.57randomparticle"Lickler" was the callsign
23:57.12CBGk, just checking it wasn't MY pillbox server :)
23:57.14purple_cowgraagh
23:57.16purple_cow@*&$#^!(@*&% linux distributions
23:58.07JeffM2501guess I'll just add a todo tracker, then auto asign new items to somethign we can track so we can keep it clean manaual
23:59.22brlcadfour or two .. whatever they had
23:59.46JeffM2501I assume we didn't get that 1% chance?
23:59.47brlcadJeffM2501: technically, that's what the tasker is for
