[p2pu-dev] Tech call notes 2012-09-06

[Dirk Uys]

*6 September*


   - Progress


   - Courses


   - Planning to have working prototype by Sep 14, push out before end of
   Sep


   - CSS framework


   - Need to figure out how to merge new CSS into trunk (merge with the
   existing legacy CSS files)


   - Plan to deploy new CSS integration page by page (rather than migrate
   the entire site to new CSS before deploying)


   - Next step: Fix major layout elements for key pages


   - Targeting 20th of September for releasing css framework


   - Migration of archive.p2pu.org


   - Charles Tanton is looking into moving the old Drupal instance to
   Dreamhost hosting (super generous pro bono contribution so far)


   - Priorities


   - Continue with course unification and CSS framework


   - Move on to schools support after CSS


   - Problems


   - Merging CSS


   - Dealing with use of modals (turn some of the current models into
   actual pages, e.g. create a course process)


   - Linode power outage on 1 Sep: "p2pu - (8731497) Lassie initiated boot
   - Failed Fri, 31 Aug 2012 20:14:03 GMT"


   - Linode datacenter had massive power outage


   - Request from community to change default editor (email from Jose)


   - Can we make this a mini project (funded)? What's the right amount /
   bounty?


   - Challenges switching the editor:


   - There is no perfect solution


   - It's not as simple to do as it "seems" (as we would like it to be)


   - More technical users would prefer markdown, others prefer WYSIWYG


   - There is existing content that needs to be migrated (or work in a new
   editor)


   - Process


   - Add chris to users who have access to production server so he can help
   with problems
