# Jul 17th 2009, 02:44 alkemann right
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:43 pointlessjon and with a flag, the category/classification of the flag could shoot the basic message on the page, with an ability to drill deeper to a detailed description of how to address the issue?
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:43 alkemann maybe just member and lower and moderator and higher
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:42 alkemann yea it would make sense to split flags into public, member, moderator
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:42 pointlessjon that actually makes more sense to me personally
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:41 alkemann valid points has been made that it is both hard and destructive to do inline markers, so probably will have to be article wide tags
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:41 pointlessjon containing the flags that may or may not apply / be visible to your user
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:41 pointlessjon maybe it'd be classier to come up with some sort of sidebar block element, etc.
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:40 pointlessjon yeah that was good stuff. personally i think what wikipedia does works well - then again, it's kind of in your face
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:38 alkemann pointlessjon: i could use some feedback on this, both implementation and user interface wise : http://thechaw.com/bakery/wiki/spec/articles/markers
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:38 alkemann well some have been agreed upon, but it was written a a suggestion and has been unedited
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:37 alkemann nah, mostly it is suggestions on it atm
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:36 pointlessjon or if the wiki was kind settled already
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:36 pointlessjon yeah, see i wasn't sure if there was some sort of approval process in order to add/edit there
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:35 alkemann Phally: bing
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:35 alkemann gonna have to rewrite it though. i wrote lots of ideas there that was meant to start discussion, but i'll take the silence as agreement and just do it ;)
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:34 alkemann glorified secretary :)
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:33 pointlessjon nice work on the spec, looks like you've been touching a lot of those pages alkemann
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:32 pointlessjon going to be cool
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:32 pointlessjon yeah
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:30 alkemann i like the last part
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:28 alkemann heh indeed. i stopped math at uni level. that shit was just alien
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:28 pointlessjon i started reading his link to gaussian distribution and my brain blue-screened
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:27 pointlessjon http://thechaw.com/bakery/wiki/spec/ratings/algorithm/Article_Ranking_Algorithm <-- full article
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:27 pointlessjon maybe not
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:26 pointlessjon yeah
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:26 pointlessjon damn you beat me to it
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:26 alkemann did u mean http://thechaw.com/bakery/wiki/spec/ratings/algorithm ?
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:26 alkemann i saw the twitter, where is the article?
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:25 pointlessjon i'm interested to see what joel does for the rating algorithms
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:25 pointlessjon ;)
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:25 pointlessjon oh yeah
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:24 alkemann on the bright side, you can make sure ur scheme is one of the choices ;)
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:24 alkemann aye
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:24 pointlessjon damn am i just creating more work for myself?
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:23 alkemann pointlessjon: feel free to start working on a code highlighter that doesnt hardcode colours ;)
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:22 alkemann choice between a few maybe, but allowing css edits would be a security issue maybe, and changing a million variables isnt very friendly
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:22 pointlessjon i know it helps me to see code colored a particular way
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:21 pointlessjon right
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:21 alkemann so people can see the scheme they are used to?
# Jul 17th 2009, 02:21 pointlessjon for logged in users -- the ability to manage (within reasonable limitations) a custom color theme to be applied when code coloring
