[12:26:01] leila (away), sorry I didn't see your message yesterday [12:27:36] users have the option to only receive messages which belong to some topic (it's just a list of checkboxes on the list options), but I believe it's possible to set the default so that everyone receives everything [12:28:13] then if a subscriber gets bored by some kind of content they can disable a specific topic or even all topics except some they're definitely interested in [16:50:02] o/ [17:52:18] halfak|Lunch: check out https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l and let me know if it looks better now that it's written in html. h2 header was too big compared to the text, so I changed that to h3. [17:52:43] I'll fix the couple of hyperlinks in it, too. [17:52:54] I think it looks better but it's still far too long. [17:53:03] halfak|Lunch: what is the issue with scrolling? [17:53:25] It's a design issue. You should have the primary stuff that people want below the fold. [17:53:38] Primary stuff that people want include signing up for the list and looking through the archives. [17:53:46] halfak|Lunch: yeah. I agree with primary stuff. let me move change the orders at least. [17:54:08] halfak|Lunch: Can I change the position of link to archives? [17:54:29] I'm not aware of a way to do that. [17:55:39] * leila digs to see if she can find a solution. [19:48:26] halfak: check out https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l [19:49:00] Damn. Too much space between the list items. We've almost got the items above the fold. [19:49:28] Aha! It looks like there is a

  • [19:49:31] halfak: let me know what you think. also, what do you think about dropping "Research into Wikimedia content and communities [19:49:31] "? we have a short description of what the list is two lines under [19:49:51] * leila looks into it [19:49:58] I think dropping that is a good idea. I'd like to take an editing pass to see if I can fix the list formatting. [19:51:06] halfak: dropped [19:52:38] halfak: that break before "tags in use" is on my nurve. :D [19:52:50] Let me hack that a bit. [19:52:56] go for it. [19:54:17] halfak: what do you say about a slightly larger font size? :D [19:54:25] halfak: I like the mailing list lines now. [19:54:28] Hmm. It would cut our space. [19:55:02] halfak: do you think the reminder/link to wikitech-l is a good one? [19:55:37] Is the link broken? [19:55:54] not for me [19:55:56] Or are you thinking of dropping that item. I would be OK with dropping that item. [19:56:11] yeah. I'm thinking of dropping. [19:56:13] I don't think we really have a problem with people posting engineering stuff that belongs on wikitech-l [19:56:20] yeah. agreed. [19:56:24] will you drop it? [19:56:25] OK cool. I'll include that in the edit I'm working on. [19:56:32] k [19:57:34] halfak: let me know when you're done. I'll work on something else in the meantime [19:58:23] (re the font size: I wonder if it's friendly to the eyes. My eyes get weird when I look at it and it's because it's small I /think/. but I'm not sure if I'm your representatitve sampel.;) [20:00:21] sample* [20:03:00] OK done! I made a lot more space. You should be able to get a font size increase in there. [20:14:34] * leila checks [20:16:48] halfak: check the description. I added a test header. I /think/ it's good to add a separation between the bullet points under related lists section and the next ones. what do you think? [20:17:01] halfak: the rest looks good to me. I give it a try with the font size to see if I can read it more easily. ;) [20:17:24] halfak: and if you like "test" what is your suggestion for the title? [20:17:37] Oh cool! [20:17:43] I like that. Looks way better. [20:17:50] ok. great. [20:18:29] dsaez: feel free to enter the joy of wiki-research-l description updates whenever you feel like it. [20:18:29] in meeting. will think of header later. [20:18:32] dsaez: no pressure. ;) [20:18:36] heh [20:18:36] halfak: ok [20:47:33] halfak: when you're done, check what I put in the etherpad. No rush.
