Epyon*sigh*01:12
EpyonOkay, I'll do it.01:12
nashEpyon: What, you receive 2 emails a day?01:12
EpyonExcluding spam and fanmail? Yeah.01:13
* nash also introduces Epyon to 'mail filtering' which allows 'emails' to 'automatically' sorted 'into' 'folders'.01:13
EpyonYep, but Thunderbird is stupid enough to play the same "Message recieved" sound no matter of the filtering :P01:14
nashUse procmail to do you filtering...01:15
EpyonOn windowze? :P01:15
nashMeh.. install vmware01:15
mithroEpyon: it's worth it01:16
mithroyou could read it via GMane01:16

EpyonSimple, elegant, and popular :P01:19
EpyonAnd trivial to get running (all my mediawiki's run from one installation)01:20
nashmithro: I think you may have found a maintainer01:28

mithroEpyon: you busy?11:21
EpyonNot especialy, why do you ask?11:21
mithroEpyon: wiki setting up and testing time! :P11:21
EpyonDepends on what wiki software are you talking about -_-11:22
EpyonAnd how much theming you want to be done on it :P11:23
mithrowell I thought we might test out media wiki and see how we go11:30
EpyonSimple theme changes for mediawiki are trivial. Changing the color scheme is a matter of half an hour or so (like here http://doom.chaosforge.org/wiki/index.php?title=DoomRL_Wiki)11:31
tpbTitle: DoomRL Wiki - DoomRL Wiki (at doom.chaosforge.org)11:31
mithroso how do we go about installing it then?11:32
EpyonIt should be easy to come up with a theme that is almost identical to the colors of the TP pages :P11:32
EpyonDownload, run install script and use it? :P11:32
mithrowell - I was hoping to use debs so that I could upgrade it easily11:33
EpyonAlthough for spam protection it is good to do some tweaking in local settings :P11:33
* Epyon has no linux experience.11:33

tpbTitle: Main Page - Thousand Parsec Wiki (at verbal.mithis.com)11:55

EpyonYou'll need to do some additional tweaks to LocalSettings.php for spam protection though :)11:58

EpyonAre you sure you didn't miss something during install?12:48
mithroEpyon: trying again12:51
EpyonHmm, maybe there's a bigger difference between 1.7.1 and 1.6.8 that I didn't notice. Refrain from adding my config options for now.12:52
mithroahh huh!12:52
EpyonHmm?12:52

EpyonYeah, but to install the theme I would need access to the files stc.13:15
Epyonetc.13:15
mithroEpyon: well start with CSS styling?13:16
EpyonBTW, I'd change the order of the navigation panel. It's confusing :P13:16
mithro?13:16
EpyonCSS should be enough AFAIR.13:16
EpyonWiki Home, then Website :P13:17
mithroEpyon: you should be able to to modify anything now :P13:17
Epyon:)13:17
mithroEpyon: according to the wikimedia website you can theme wikimedia locally using the myskin option13:17
EpyonHmm, that must be a new one in 1.7113:18
EpyonBut I don't know if it can be set to default :P13:18
