The Crew's Lounge >> The Administration Team
Posted by KaGez on 23:16:00 08-15-2002
OK, this might sound strange
I think we should give everybody a role in the Administration team. First everybody should post what he'd like to do, and what he'd like others to do.

here's mine:
Robert - Channel Master and forum "watcher"
Peter - sasquatch coder, webmaster
MoX - sasquatch coder, webmaster
Sacah - Forum "watcher"
Geqo - sasquatch coder

ok, lemme explain all.
Robert - has done his "Channel Master" done very good up to now I think. I think that he's the most active one in the channel, always sets funny topics, and has a sence of humor.
Peter - has done his previous webmaster job pretty good imho. His PHP code also looks good to me.
MoX - excellent coder, good sence for what should be on a page and what not (my opinion)
Sacah - I'd love to have him as a Sasq developer too, his code is great. Unless he gets his CVS working this seems quite unrealistic tho.
Geqo - also great code as far as I saw it. he's a great developer

My own request:
As long as my time is enough, I'd like to do webmaster, forum "watcher" and sasq coder. I have great fun with all 3 of them, and I think since I put most of my time into the YPN anyways I could handle it.

So, how about the others?

Im happy with this, I am working on cvs, will run trials on kagpro.sf.net to make sure i dont stuff sasq3 code or nothing.

Watcher, reminds my of Buffy the Vampire slayer.

ok, if sacah can get his CVS workin, I'd like him to be a sasq coder too

Yeah, I'm okay with that. Most people on the list have already accepted there roles, as it seems [addsig]

ok, only peter, geqo and robert left
and it seems like sacah is also only a small step away from gettin his CVS working properly

Sure.. I'll do as much as I can on the forum and in the channel as well (as well as writing tutorials etc. got some in store ). However, Sasquatch has quite a high priority . I've been reading through the docs last night. I'll start sketching on the new projects section today.
Posted by KaGez on 22:35:00 08-16-2002
you'll do the projects section? That'd be _great_! One job less for the rest of us

Posted by Peter on 19:39:00 08-17-2002
Of course I will. That was the initial idea..

And I'll do whatever else I'll have the time for.. I reckon we need to do Yowie and stuff..
Posted by KaGez on 22:51:00 08-17-2002
yowie's dead
we (ok, at the moment only moxx) are working on a completely new message board, which makes use of the new features and functions in sasquatch. We'd have had to completely rewrite yowie for that anyways, so we just trashed it
I think the projects section should also be rewritten from scratch, since it also doesn't use the new sasquatch functions, features, and usability.
I think I should write a little document about usability for sasquatch, so we have a united usability pattern in the new sasquatch, and not a completely splitted like it is in the current sasquatch. I will try to assemble a little basic usability document.
For example all these screens like "Success! you have been logged in" are only worth to see for debugging. In the new sasquatch you will see if you are logged in or not, even without that screen, since there will be no login option, only a logout option, if you are logged in. Also sending mails on every profile editing isn't the beast idea... I personally prefer to not be spammed by a PHP engine, just because I've changed something in my profile. At the moment this doesn't seem to work in sasquatch, even if it is announced (S-G was so nice and told me about this "bug"). If you change something in your profile in the current sasq, you will get a dialog that you've successfully edited your profile, and that a mail will be sent to you.... the mail never arrives tho... this is that we should _really_ prevent, since it looks like a bug, or even a unfinished piece of code.

Ok, I thought I'd rewrite the projects section from scratch too.. there'd be more work porting the old thing than doing it from scratch.

Also, I havent tried latest releases, but each of the boxxes are stored in different files, and each has its only little part of the table built in, If you are tring to add another box, or modify one thats already there, without havin written the entire layout before, is a mess of a job, tring to follow everything.
This is something that could use fixxing.
Have a default header/footer for each file, so the next person that adds a box knows they just need to put the same header, and the finishin footer if its the last box.

This would help, I stuffed around for ages to get my bday box to line up, and be where it should.

Just an idea.

Yeah, me and Kagez argued about that before. I think that the outlining table structure would be easier to understand and modify if it were in one file. I did not have a look at it for quite a long time, so I don't know exactly how it is handled right now. [addsig]
Posted by KaGez on 23:06:00 08-18-2002
that may be true, but we don't have a file where we could do that now we can only follow the comments in the HTML source (display the stuff in the browser, and look at those sources). That's how I do it. With the current theming engine, putting all the table stuff in 1 file is impossible

Posted by sacah on 23:07:00 08-18-2002
yes, outlining in one file would work, but for the modual structure we have, havin a header and footer is a bit more work, but will fit in more, though, one file outlinin it all, would be better.

I think it will get a little bit easier if we just put HTML comments in the HTML code. Stuff like or . If we would do that for every template, things'd get a lot easier
