[08:47:33 CDT(-0500)] <jessm> hey everyone, i got two emails from anastasiac that start with subject [idi-theme] – is this a mailing list? it just shows that it's to: me

[08:48:38 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> jessm, what was the body of the message? I did make a couple of github merges this morning to the IDI wordpress theme repository...

[08:48:56 CDT(-0500)] <jessm> yeah, i think they were merges

[08:49:28 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> ok, that's probably what it was: an automated email from github

[08:49:32 CDT(-0500)] <jessm> so it says it's coming from you, but now that i look at it, it says your name, but an @reply.github.com addy

[08:49:51 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> it uses my name since I made the merge, I guess

[08:53:38 CDT(-0500)] <jessm> anastasiac: gotcha

[08:54:15 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> jessm, fyi, since we're on the topic, we're hoping to have the dev IDI site up later this morning

[09:00:33 CDT(-0500)] <jessm> anastasiac: awesomeness!

[09:00:47 CDT(-0500)] <jessm> anastasiac: can y'all ping me when you do?

[09:00:52 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> indeed, jessm

[09:20:08 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> jameswy, can I double-check how the max-width of the IDI content should work? From your mock-ups and our conversation, it looks like the content should be allowed to max out at roughly 1280, but if the window itself is 1280, the content should be at 1024 - this implies a margin around things of about 128 on each side?

[09:20:51 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> or jvass: ^

[09:21:37 CDT(-0500)] <jameswy> anastasiac: we're going to hold off on the responsive design specs until we get everything else done, but wrt to max-width for now:

[09:22:27 CDT(-0500)] <jameswy> stop gap: 1024px max for content

[09:24:41 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> ok, jameswy, I'll implement that for now

[09:36:11 CDT(-0500)] <jameswy> anastasiac: minor updates to existing designs on wiki

[09:36:33 CDT(-0500)] <jameswy> Specifically: "read article" link, footer text, institutions list.

[09:36:57 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac>

[09:36:58 CDT(-0500)] <jameswy> Upcoming minor changes to designs on wiki: logo colourization, main navigation colourization

[09:37:37 CDT(-0500)] <jameswy> Oh! and forgot to mention: watercolor illustrations on the infrastructure page.

[09:38:26 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> jameswy, when can we expect to get actual assets? icons, logos, background images, etc?

[09:38:50 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> and btw: stop tweaking, few cry in' out loud!

[09:38:56 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> jameswy & jvass, have a minute for another look-over on the buttons?

[09:39:16 CDT(-0500)] <jameswy> anastasiac: jvass is working on those--and they'll start trickling in early afternoon or before.

[09:39:51 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> k. thanks for the heads-up about the tweaks

[09:40:36 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> oh, jameswy, I almost forgot: the street address is a link now? is that to a google map, or something?

[09:43:02 CDT(-0500)] <jhung> justin_o: pushed up some changes to my repo. I'm going to run the markup through validator now.

[09:43:24 CDT(-0500)] <jameswy> anastasiac: Correct.

[09:43:30 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> jhung: great thanks.. i'm still working on the accordion bit.. writing a wrapper for jquery's

[09:43:44 CDT(-0500)] <jameswy> anastasiac: Forgot to indicate that for the footer too.

[09:44:14 CDT(-0500)] <jhung> justin_o: great. After I validate I'm going to tweak the styling a bit.

[09:44:46 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> jhung: cool.. let me know when i should pull down your changes

[10:04:52 CDT(-0500)] <avtar> anastasiac: is this instance of mediawiki required anymore? http://dev.inclusivedesign.ca/mediawiki

[10:05:31 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> avtar, I actually had no idea it even existed, but I suspect it is not required anymore

[10:07:28 CDT(-0500)] <avtar> ok. just a heads-up that that site won't be accessible if wordpress has to live in the parent directory for dev.inclusivedesign.ca

[10:08:29 CDT(-0500)] <avtar> when you have a chance could i please get a dump of the database that you've been working with?

[10:09:11 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> jameswy: another look-over?

[10:16:05 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> avtar, I emailed you a dump last night, did you not get that? and I'm not sure what you're saying about the dev site. If what you mean is "dev site will have to be at /wordpress" then that's probably ok, so long as everything still works

[10:16:34 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> and avtar, I just pushed more changes to the idi-theme repo development branch, so could you do another pull before deploying?

[10:17:19 CDT(-0500)] <avtar> weird.. your email was in my spam folder for some reason o_O

[10:17:19 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> cindyli, I've pushed everything I've been working on to the development branch in the idi-theme project repo, if you want to merge them in

[10:17:25 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> oh, that's not great

[10:17:26 CDT(-0500)] <avtar> going through it now

[10:17:45 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> sure. thanks, anastasiac

[10:19:43 CDT(-0500)] <avtar> regarding the url, it can be set up as dev.inclusivedesign.ca without requiring /wordpress as long as there won't be an issue with the /mediawiki site being unavailable

[10:20:22 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> ah, ok avtar - I think making mediawiki unavailable should be quite fine, thanks

[10:27:18 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> anastasiac: i've pushed the button changes into my github IDI-12. Note that the change affects 2 repo,

[10:27:22 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> https://github.com/cindyli/wordpress-fss-theme/tree/IDI-12

[10:27:28 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> https://github.com/cindyli/idi-theme/tree/IDI-12

[10:27:39 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> cindyli, excellent - is this ready for a pull request?

[10:27:46 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> or does it need more work?

[10:27:48 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> yes, anastasiac

[10:28:07 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> it needs a bit more work on a couple of lower priority issues. but fine for now

[10:28:12 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> ok, could you issue the two pull requests, cindyli, mentioning the two repos?

[10:28:21 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> ok, anastasiac

[10:28:38 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> I probably won't have time to merge it yet, I'm about to head to the dentist, but after lunch I'll get it in

[10:29:18 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> fluid-everyone: I won't make standup, so my update is: my IDI work is up on the development branch, and should be on the dev site when it's posted

[10:29:45 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> avtar, any luck with my db dump?

[10:57:44 CDT(-0500)] <jessm> fluid-everyone: missed standup, sorry. I'm working on the designer justification and then turning to cloud4all PMing and i'm going to be checking in with the Floe team each day re: the iteration plans that fish left – so, prepare to be chatty

[10:58:23 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> jhung: okay got rid of those scroll bars when the accordion panel expands.. there was an option to adjust the height for dynamic content

[11:00:27 CDT(-0500)] <jhung> cool justin_o

[12:37:02 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> avtar, I'm back from the dentist. How are things going with the dev IDI site - can I help with anything?

[13:04:31 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> Justin_o, are we planning on having a community workshop this afternoon?

[13:28:53 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> anastasiac: no community meeting today

[13:28:59 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> cindyli, I commented on your pull request. The base UIO theme looks good, no comments there

[13:29:03 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> Justin_o, thanks

[13:29:19 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> thanks, anastasiac

[13:30:18 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> fluid-everyone: the community meeting for today has been cancelled

[13:30:33 CDT(-0500)] <jessm> anastasiac: how's progress?

[13:31:08 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> jessm, I'm waiting to hear from avtar - it's in his hands right now

[13:35:00 CDT(-0500)] <jessm> anastasiac: are y'all still able to work on it while it's in limbo?

[13:35:02 CDT(-0500)] <jessm> through the repo?

[13:35:34 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> oh, yes, jessm, cindyli and I have local instances on our laptops that we work on. The dev site is mainly for sharing with others

[13:35:47 CDT(-0500)] <jessm> gotcha

[13:35:52 CDT(-0500)] <jessm> alexn: you scooting' along?

[13:38:59 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> cindyli, I've done as much as I can on the front page for now (waiting for actual images from the designers). I'm going to move on to the News page (IDI-9). There are plenty of page mock-ups to choose from now on the wiki

[13:39:50 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> ok, anastasiac, i've marked myself with IDI-7 - about page

[13:40:20 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> ok cindyli. Do you have any questions about my comments on your pull request? I'll hold off on merging it until you've fixed that

[13:40:39 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> yes, fixing. should be ready for merge soon

[13:40:59 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> no question on ur comments, anastasiac

[13:41:10 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> they are good points

[13:41:17 CDT(-0500)] <alexn> jessm: Not sure what you are asking I'm currently working on CSpace. Have to catchup my hours there.

[13:41:28 CDT(-0500)] <jessm> alexn: ah

[13:41:53 CDT(-0500)] <alexn> me and Yura spent some time defining release 2.4 for UI layer and I already started working on it

[13:42:10 CDT(-0500)] <alexn> but I will be back on FLOE in a week or two

[13:42:44 CDT(-0500)] <jessm> alexn: based on space progress?

[13:43:36 CDT(-0500)] <alexn> that as well. I owe CSpace 3 weeks but the current dev sprint has at max 2 weeks in it.

[13:44:27 CDT(-0500)] <alexn> it depends on the progress however there are lots of things which need to be done. So I think that even if we will finish 2.4 tasks earlier Yura might give me some other tasks which were put aside before.

[13:44:54 CDT(-0500)] <alexn> are there any issues or my assistance is required on FLOE ?

[13:48:03 CDT(-0500)] <jessm> alexn: i think things are on-task at this point. Fish has been gone 1 day, so things can't be too far off. I'm just checking in while she's gone

[13:48:42 CDT(-0500)] <jessm> alexn: she doesn't have you in the iteration plans explicitly until April 30th

[13:52:20 CDT(-0500)] <alexn> jessm: oh gotcha. Yes I'm not there explicitly since all resources were thrown on the demos so now I need to catch up on CSpace time. Let me know if you have any questions at any time, I will keep you posted on my status or exact work I'm doing. Or in my absence you can always ask Yura since he is aware of my progress on CSpace.

[13:52:51 CDT(-0500)] <jessm> alexn: thanks! sounds good

[13:56:14 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> jameswy, your new front-page mock-up has no shadows on the feature boxes, but other page mock-ups have the shadows. Should they be consistent, and if so, should it be with or without shadows?

[13:56:48 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> anastasiac: has polished up the code. can you have a look?

[13:57:00 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> cindyli, will do, thanks

[14:00:00 CDT(-0500)] <jameswy> anastasiac: Can we do a quick check-in chat right now between you, me, and Joanna?

[14:00:13 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> sure, I'll go on skype

[14:01:01 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> ready when you are, jameswy

[14:07:19 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> yura: do you know what might cause an error like this

[14:07:20 CDT(-0500)]

[14:07:45 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> it only happens in my unit tests and only when they are all run together.. seperately they work

[14:10:22 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> cindyli, I notice that the About page has, in the sidebar, the exact same list of institutions as we have on the front page. You've probably already started this, but just in case, we should probably move that out into a 'template-part' and include it into the two pages.

[14:11:14 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> anastasiac: i'm still trying to figure out how to access the about page that you've implemented so far

[14:11:59 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> you should just be able to click on the about link to view it, and the template is in the about.php file, and if you log in to the wordpress admin, you can edit the content there

[14:12:17 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> we have to figure out whether the bulk of the content should be accessible to wordpress users or not

[14:12:24 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> perhaps that's a jameswy question?

[14:14:14 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> umm.. anastasiac, i don't see any link on the front page for about or news, i may not have the latest change? is the latest in "development" branch?

[14:14:24 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> ah!

[14:14:26 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> right

[14:14:29 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> ok, cindyli:

[14:14:48 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> the actual page is a wordpress page that uses about.php as its template

[14:15:08 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> you have to log in to the wordpress admin interface and create an About page and select the "About" template for it

[14:15:21 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> ah, ic

[14:15:23 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> sorry about that, I forgot about that step. My database is already set up

[14:15:30 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> you have to do that for all the pages

[14:15:42 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> ok

[14:16:21 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> i'm thinking if there's a easy way to sync our db so we can work on the same data

[14:16:34 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> I can email you my db, that might help

[14:16:47 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> sounds good. thanks, anastasiac

[14:18:22 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> on its way, cindyli

[14:18:35 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> cool. thanks, anastasiac

[14:19:31 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> jameswy, regarding the About page: I know we want the institutions to be able to edit their own pages. Do we also want them to have access to the About page? Or should we control that?

[14:20:31 CDT(-0500)] <jameswy> anastasiac: The only pages the partners should have access on for now is their own institution page. About page will be maintained by us.

[14:20:43 CDT(-0500)] <jameswy> (same with landing pages for research and research clusters)

[14:20:57 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> ok, thanks jameswy.

[14:20:57 CDT(-0500)] <jameswy> About, research, and research clusters will contain content about the other institutions that we'll curate. =

[14:34:44 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> anastasiac: thanks for the database, i imported part of the data which works fine so far. I noticed you've finished a good chunk of the "about" page. Do you want to carry on to finish it up? i can start on another page.

[14:35:07 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> I'm fine either way, cindyli

[14:35:09 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> your choice

[14:36:36 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> ok, i will start with Infrastructure page, IDI-11

[14:36:52 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> cindyli, regarding that bug I had that you couldn't reproduce, with the two panels showing together: I'm able to get rid of it by moving the demands block out of the document.ready function

[14:37:15 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> ah

[14:37:49 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> good finding. thanks, anastasiac

[15:13:05 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> cindyli, I've pushed your IDI-12 changes to the main repo, with a couple of tweaks: I moved the demands block, and I collected the selectors together into a single object in the idi namespace.

[15:13:11 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> you should see your changes on the dev site tomorrow

[15:13:37 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> thanks, anastasiac

[15:15:08 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> cindyli, don't forget to merge the new development branch into your IDI-11 branch

[15:15:35 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> right. thanks for reminding
