dreimarkour value is 0 now. if i edit all tasks. what do i have to fill in there. is it just the time in hours?00:01

SRabbelierdreimark: the time is stored internally as just the hours00:01
SRabbelierdreimark: but the form shows it as hours%2400:02
SRabbelierdreimark: since the days are shown as hours/2400:02
SRabbelierdreimark: there's no need to change them atm00:02
dreimarkbut 0 is not accepted00:02

SRabbelierJaneWells: Internally we store it as just hours12:20
m4k3rThanks.12:20
aviraldgty12:20
JaneWellsaviraldg: at wordpress, we are talking with potential students in our irc channel for anyone who wants to get started on a task. if you know what project you want to work with, you might try contacting them directly in the meantime12:20
SRabbelierJaneWells: but we display it to you as hours and days (e.g., days = internal_hours/24, hours = internal_hours%24)12:21
aviraldgmoinmoin12:21
SRabbelierdreimark and ThomasWaldmann both are part of moinmoin12:22

*** GautamGupta has joined #melange12:22
m4k3r*our12:22
JaneWellsSRabbelier: so we should enter the longest amount of time it should take in hours?12:22
JaneWellsbut in days increments unless there are half days etc12:22
aviraldg@m4k3r okay12:22
SRabbelierJaneWells: yeah, the idea is this makes it easier for you guys to enter large timespans12:22
m4k3raviraldg:  ops, sry #moin-dev12:23

JaneWellsSRabbelier: out of curiosity, how does the melange ui get determined? do you guys have ux/ui people or is dev-decided?12:29
SRabbelierJaneWells: the latter, but we've hired EchoDitto to redesign our UI, next GSoC we'll have a properly designed UI :)12:29
JaneWellsah ok, was just about to volunteer since wordpress 3.1 is almost out the door12:29
SRabbelierJaneWells: we can definitely use help in implementing whatever ED designs though12:30
JaneWellsi'm not a coder, i just design the wordpress ui :)12:30
SRabbelierJaneWells: they'll be providing us with HTML and CSS, and that needs to be converted to Django/python/appengine12:30

madrazr_kiko: also it is quite possible that they have entered those tasks into google-melange but have not made it public14:30

madrazrbecause there are so many tasks14:32
madrazrso many kids, trying their hands at the contest14:32
c_schmitzit should default to 50 or something14:32
madrazrc_schmitz: 100 was a good trade-off we could come up with, otherwise people would have complained about navigating a large number of pages14:32
madrazrc_schmitz: we need to trade-off at some number you see, we chose 10014:33

madrazrI am answering too many people, so it is easy to miss some14:34
mavumadrazr: but the search simply crashes the browser.14:34

madrazrmavu: let me try once again14:34
_kikomavu: try chrome14:35
mavuI am in India with net speeds fairly towards the upper end of the spectrum we can get here. This practically makes the site unusable for most of the kids here.14:35
aviraldgmavu: it's not about net speeds14:36

madrazra bit slow, not too slow though14:46

snizzosiva: oh yeah14:46
madrazrif you know what organization you want to search for I suggest going to List participating Organization page14:46

madrazrit must be much faster14:46
madrazrand you can see List of all tasks only for that organization14:47
madrazrsiva: yes14:47

jacktherippersubscribe ?14:49
madrazrsnizzo: for each task, you must see a "cute little star" preceding the title of the task14:49
madrazrsnizzo: you can click on it to subscribe14:49
*** _kiko has quit IRC14:49

madrazrsnizzo: just let me know if you are subscribed then?14:50
jacktheripperyes, star's lit up already here14:50
c_schmitzdoes a mentor has to subscribe to his own task?14:50
madrazrsnizzo: the star is shinning for you or it is dim?14:50
madrazrc_schmitz: if the mentor has created the task, then no14:50
madrazrc_schmitz: if additional mentors were added later, then yes, they must14:50

snizzooh I see xD sorry14:51
snizzois so cute anyway :)14:51
c_schmitzmadrazr: someone from our org created all tasks14:51

*** snizzo has quit IRC14:52
c_schmitzthat is, eh, optimizable14:52
madrazrc_schmitz: probably yes14:52
madrazrc_schmitz: you are a mentor?14:52
c_schmitzsure14:52
madrazrc_schmitz: if you think, we should do that, will you be so kind to create an issue for Melange about the same? We will consider it for GCI 2011 for sure14:53
*** Furkan has quit IRC14:53
madrazrc_schmitz: you can submit the issue here: http://tinyurl.com/new-issue14:53
tpbTitle: Google Project Hosting (at tinyurl.com)14:53
c_schmitzk14:54
madrazrc_schmitz: I know it is counter productive to now go and subscribe to all the tasks, but we intentionally avoided this because, some people don't want us to spam their inboxes without their consent14:54
madrazrc_schmitz: had to trade-off again14:54
c_schmitzbeing  a mentor is unlikely 'without consent' ;) -  a switch on the profile settings would resolve that14:55
c_schmitzbut I will be happy to create an issue14:55
madrazrc_schmitz: thank you so much. That is so kind of you14:56

c_schmitzanother question: Is there any way to see details on the claiming student?14:57
madrazrc_schmitz: cool!14:57
c_schmitzAll I can see right now is the username14:57
madrazrc_schmitz: nope14:58
madrazrc_schmitz: also another important thing to note is that, these students would not even be students on Melange datastore until they complete one task successfully14:58

svakshahi, it should be possible for an admin to add a gmail id as a mentor via melange? a project admin was unable to add my id, so is this the place to get help about it?15:47
SRabbeliersvaksha: no, the mentor needs to have a profile in Melange15:49
SRabbeliersvaksha: and then the admin can add the mentor by their link_id15:49
svakshaSRabbelier: hmm..not sure what you mean by profile in melange. Is a link_id==gmail Id?15:50
SRabbeliersvaksha: no15:50

*** ArthurLiu has joined #melange16:20
ArthurLiuI just got a ClaimRequest on a task that was already Claimed, how come? http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/show/google/gci2010/debian/t128985771180 and http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/show/google/gci2010/debian/t12898577308316:23
tpb<http://ln-s.net/8+vV> (at www.google-melange.com)16:23
svakshaWhen I try to insert the key in the Google Maps field Site Settings it asks me to sign in and out  "Please sign out and sign in again as a Site Developer to view this page.". Doing that also throws the same old error.16:24
ArthurLiuoh, apparently it's my mistake16:30
ArthurLiusilly question, but how do I delete a task?16:31
ArthurLiuassuming it's unclaimed16:31
madrazrArthurLiu: The task edit page should have a delete button16:32
madrazrArthurLiu: I was really scared for a moment to see that you got a claim request for the claimed task, that would have been an epic fail16:33
ArthurLiuapparently that was an error during my mass task creation16:34
ArthurLiuI seem to remember about an edit button while I was editing tasks last week16:35
ArthurLiubut I can't see it anymore on the task page16:35
SRabbeliersvaksha: and now?16:35
ArthurLiuok, so apparently Edit links disappear from tasks that had been previously ClaimRequest-ed, even if I rejected the ClaimRequest16:36
ArthurLiufilling the bug right now :)16:37
svakshaSRabbelier: now when i scroll down, a message pops up: "This web site needs a different Google Maps API key. A new key can be generated at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html."16:37

SRabbeliersvaksha: thanks for reporting16:39

ArthurLiuI have a Task that was an input mistake during mass filling16:40
ArthurLiuand a student attempted to claim it16:41
SRabbeliermadrazr: no, I agree, they should first make it unclaimed, and public16:41
ArthurLiuI want to delete it16:41
ArthurLiusounds like a reasonable scenario16:41
SRabbeliermadrazr: wait, they can't even remove it if it's not claimed?16:41
ArthurLiuSRabbelier, that is the case I'm seeing16:42
madrazrSRabbelier: no, once it moves out of "Open" state they cannot16:42

aviraldgI have a question...17:21
madrazraviraldg: shoot17:22
aviraldgI've "completed" a task, as in it's in the Status-NeedsReview state... and I've talked to a couple of mentors from that project and they say it's okay17:23
SRabbelieraviraldg: then they should go to the task and close it so that you can move on to your next task17:23
aviraldghowever... the very fact that it's in Status-NeedsReview is preventing me from claiming another task.17:23
SRabbelieraviraldg: correct17:24
aviraldgif I withdraw from the task at this point17:24
aviraldgwill they still be able to close the task?17:24
SRabbelieraviraldg: no17:26
SRabbelieraviraldg: you won't get points for it either17:26
SRabbelieraviraldg: you'll just have to wait until they close the task17:26
aviraldghmmm... it's a very minor task and I'm really feeling like moving on to something bigger :'(17:27
aviraldgguess I'll wait though17:27
madrazraviraldg: yes you will have to wait17:33
aviraldgok17:33
madrazraviraldg: that is the rule of the contest17:33
JaneWellsaviraldg: why not get a hard start by starting on a new task so that when they do close the first one, you'll be well on your way with the second?17:40
JaneWellss/hard/head17:40
aviraldgyeah17:40
aviraldgcurrently doing just that17:40
aviraldgthough it would be a waste if two people ended up doing the same thing17:41

tpb<http://ln-s.net/8+x5> (at code.google.com)17:54
*** Furkan has quit IRC17:55
dukeletoI am still confused about the "hours/days" field. Are they total elapsed time that the ticket is open?17:56
SRabbelierdukeleto: They're the total time a student has for the task, the time starts counting from the moment their claim request is accepted17:57
dukeletoSRabbelier: oy vey. Is it possible to modify the time associated to task after a claim request? Probably not. This is getting icky.17:57
SRabbelierdukeleto: they can get an extension if the time expires17:59
dukeletoSRabbelier: yeah, but i didn't realize it was elapsed time. I need to change all my times. Oy.18:00
SRabbelierdukeleto: what did you think it was?18:00
SRabbelierdukeleto: what are you changing the values from/to?18:02
dukeletoSRabbelier: i thought it was "this is how many hours it will roughly take to do this"18:03
dukeletoSRabbelier: it was not clear at all18:03
SRabbelierdukeleto: wait18:08
SRabbelierdukeleto: that's what it means18:08
dukeletoSRabbelier: i don't mean "elapsed time"18:08
dukeletoSRabbelier: so when i put "10 hours" i was thinking "10 hours of work"18:08
dukeletoSRabbelier: not "10 hours from when you claim the task"18:09
SRabbelierdukeleto: how did you expect it to work then?18:09
dukeletoSRabbelier: that is very different. People have to sleep and eat and occasionally take a bio break, if they know what is good for them18:09
JaneWellsSRabbelier: question: is there no way to contact students other than leaving a comment on the task page?18:09
dukeletoSRabbelier: i had no idea the time limit was built into the task. I thought it was for the students to take into account when choosing tasks18:09
SRabbelierdukeleto: ah, that's been discussed on the list though18:09
SRabbelierJaneWells: correct18:10
SRabbelierJaneWells: see also http://code.google.com/p/soc/issues/detail?id=49518:10
tpb<http://ln-s.net/39u7> (at code.google.com)18:10
dukeletoSRabbelier: which list?18:11
JaneWellsi don't have links to profiles or anything, just a username on claiming comments18:11
dukeletoSRabbelier: there is a mailing list about this stuff?18:11
SRabbelierJaneWells: yeah, correct18:11
SRabbelierdukeleto: on the gci-discuss list18:12
JaneWellsdo the students have to create profiles, or are they just registering a username and having at it?18:12
dukeletoSRabbelier: i am not even subscribed to that. I thought everything was on the gsoc-discuss list18:12
dukeletoJaneWells: i wish they had profiles. Seems like they are just ghosts with usernames18:13
SRabbelierJaneWells: at first the latter, after completing their first task the former18:13
SRabbelierdukeleto: legal won't allow us to collect any info on them more than that until they've completed their first task...18:13
JaneWellsyeah, it's rough b/c we're getting people just saying 'i want to claim this task' and we have no idea who they are, if they're qualified, etc. that seems like an odd position for legal to take.18:14
JaneWellsoh well18:14
dukeletoSRabbelier: ok. Please kick the legal department in the face for me, bro.18:14
