# Feb 16th 2009, 14:56 alkemann cool. i think it could work very well
# Feb 16th 2009, 14:57 gwoo alkemann: did you update the docs?
# Feb 16th 2009, 14:57 alkemann with this idea?
# Feb 16th 2009, 14:57 gwoo yes
# Feb 16th 2009, 14:58 alkemann no. i asked my coworker to write it. so maybe tomorrow
# Feb 16th 2009, 14:58 gwoo ok
# Feb 16th 2009, 15:00 jperras my only concern is going to be what the threshold for 'higher level' users will be
# Feb 16th 2009, 15:01 alkemann well lets say accepted authors have a value of 1, moderators of 5. need a value of 15 and at least 1 moderator
# Feb 16th 2009, 15:02 jperras only positive points allowed?
# Feb 16th 2009, 15:02 gwoo yeah
# Feb 16th 2009, 15:02 jperras i.e. no one can 'vote down' an article
# Feb 16th 2009, 15:03 jperras so over time, the more authors are added, the easier an article will become to push to the front page
# Feb 16th 2009, 15:03 jperras but I guess if we restrict it to needing at least one moderator it should be ok
# Feb 16th 2009, 15:03 alkemann yea need some finess to this rule
# Feb 16th 2009, 15:04 alkemann if a moderator sends a message with suggested improvements, should the article then be put offline for all?
# Feb 16th 2009, 15:13 alkemann not sure i agree with only positive votes.. with it, eventually all articles could be published
# Feb 16th 2009, 15:15 ADmad some value divided by no. of moderators ?
# Feb 16th 2009, 15:15 alkemann copy pasted log of this into wiki. http://thechaw.com/bakery/wiki/spec/articles/publish-voting
# Feb 16th 2009, 15:15 alkemann ronny he said he would do a write up of his original idea tomorrow morning
# Feb 17th 2009, 02:44 alkemann http://thechaw.com/bakery/wiki/spec/articles/publish-voting
# Feb 17th 2009, 08:42 alkemann ADmad: jperras: http://thechaw.com/bakery/wiki/spec/articles/publish-voting
# Feb 17th 2009, 08:43 ADmad alkemann: yeah i checked... the first option is a bit overkill imo
# Feb 17th 2009, 08:47 rvv ADmad: yeah, I agree.. I only mentioned it because it was my original idea, but I think the 2nd approach would be quite viable. especially if augmented with some "special" users' votes weight more to offset the problem of articles requiring many votes to be published
# Feb 17th 2009, 08:48 ADmad rvv: yeah... say for eg. a core member's vote will have more weight than a moderator
# Feb 17th 2009, 08:52 rvv I do like the side effect of all articles being rated, because it can be very hard for a noob to tell articles with good practices from those with bad
# Feb 17th 2009, 08:52 alkemann well the goal should be that no bad practises are published :)
# Feb 17th 2009, 08:52 ADmad rvv: yes i personally don't mind if only a select few have the power to make an article available to general public
# Feb 17th 2009, 08:53 ADmad i dont want crap like this to be published at all http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/filling-a-select-with-tree-behavoir
# Feb 17th 2009, 08:53 alkemann ADmad: doing something about bottlenecks are also a point though
# Feb 17th 2009, 08:53 ADmad alkemann: ?
# Feb 17th 2009, 08:54 alkemann select few with power means that things are pubished only at their leisure
# Feb 17th 2009, 08:55 alkemann also, we have the select few system now and it is not working in regards to QA..
# Feb 17th 2009, 08:55 alkemann anyways. time to head home from work
# Feb 17th 2009, 08:56 jperras alkemann: thanks for the link, I'll give it a read
# Feb 17th 2009, 08:56 ADmad k ttyl
# Feb 17th 2009, 08:56 alkemann laters :)
# Feb 17th 2009, 12:46 alkemann1 gwoo: u see the wiki update?
# Feb 17th 2009, 12:50 alkemann1 my suggestion is that we agree that a behind the scenes system for publishing is good and specc/build it in a manner that lets us tweak the rules as we test it
# Feb 17th 2009, 12:51 gwoo alkemann yes
# Feb 17th 2009, 12:51 alkemann hmm.. did i forget to log of work?
# Feb 17th 2009, 12:52 alkemann gwoo: heard from mariano_iglesias about when he will have time do write use cases?
# Feb 17th 2009, 12:53 gwoo alkemann: no i have not seen mariano_iglesias around here
# Feb 17th 2009, 12:55 alkemann gwoo: rvv's ideas use jsut one rating though, and lets articles be published with ratings. do u feel one or two is best?
# Feb 17th 2009, 12:57 gwoo actually 1 rating might work
# Feb 17th 2009, 12:58 gwoo and would make things simpler
# Feb 17th 2009, 12:58 gwoo so "bakers" get to rate the article before the "public"
# Feb 17th 2009, 12:58 gwoo and if the bakers rate the article >= 4
# Feb 17th 2009, 12:58 gwoo it goes live
# Feb 17th 2009, 13:00 alkemann yea that could work
# Feb 17th 2009, 13:01 alkemann would still need a system of x amount of votes and at least one moderator or higher though
# Feb 17th 2009, 13:04 alkemann gwoo: about existing bakery and article. i assume we want to take some. are we going to take all? might be a good opppertunity for a purge. what sense in having strict quality rules if we start out with a lot of sub par.
# Feb 17th 2009, 13:06 gwoo yeah
# Feb 17th 2009, 13:06 gwoo some purge would be good
# Feb 17th 2009, 13:06 jperras alkemann: read the wiki post
# Feb 17th 2009, 13:06 jperras I agree with the '1 rating'
# Feb 17th 2009, 13:06 jperras (read as in past tense, "I read the post")
# Feb 17th 2009, 13:09 alkemann ok i guess u get to figure out some clever math? :p
# Feb 17th 2009, 13:10 jperras haha
# Feb 17th 2009, 13:11 jperras rating is probably going to be the lower bound of a 95% confidence interval on the approximated normal distribution of the ratings
# Feb 17th 2009, 13:11 jperras with some tweaking for temporal effects
# Feb 17th 2009, 13:11 alkemann hehe. i see you
# Feb 17th 2009, 13:12 jperras not overly clever, but quite stable and numerically simple to calculate
# Feb 17th 2009, 13:15 jperras actually, the ratings are most likely going to be a biased normal distribution, since the articles will need to be rated positively a few times before they even get published
# Feb 17th 2009, 13:15 jperras now I'm getting all math-geek excited :P
# Feb 17th 2009, 13:16 alkemann heh excited is good
# Feb 17th 2009, 13:18 jperras I'm going to be starting the wireframes this evening based on the use cases in the chaw wiki
# Feb 17th 2009, 13:19 jperras should have something to show by tomorrow
# Feb 17th 2009, 13:23 alkemann goody
# Feb 17th 2009, 14:55 alkemann hey teknoid
# Feb 17th 2009, 14:55 teknoid hiya
# Feb 17th 2009, 14:56 alkemann did u approve this http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/tabhelper ?
# Feb 17th 2009, 14:57 teknoid yep
# Feb 17th 2009, 14:58 alkemann in my oppinion all the 5 articles that are currently on Latest code are ... not good enough
# Feb 17th 2009, 14:58 alkemann bakery shouldnt be just place to paste some code. we got paste bin for that
# Feb 17th 2009, 14:59 alkemann "The code should explain it self" stats the tab helper article. well it doesnt, and it shouldnt.
# Feb 17th 2009, 14:59 alkemann starts*
# Feb 17th 2009, 14:59 ADmad this is crap too http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/maintain-url-arguments-while-paginating
# Feb 17th 2009, 15:00 teknoid alkeman: that's a tough decision... i looked at the code and it seemed "decent" ... guess, i'm too nice...
# Feb 17th 2009, 15:00 ADmad its bascially 1 line of code which is already mentioned in manual
# Feb 17th 2009, 15:00 alkemann also the article states that there are currently many such helpers in existing, but doesnt discuss why this one is worth sharing or doing. whats different, how is this better?
# Feb 17th 2009, 15:01 alkemann teknoid: if you think the code is worth sharing, you can still request the author to spend some time writing a worthwhile article to go along with it
# Feb 17th 2009, 15:02 alkemann api will be required in the next version of bakery, but there is a convention of at least including examples in the current one
# Feb 17th 2009, 15:03 alkemann teknoid: so yes, basically i think you're too nice :) unfortunatly it's a character trait i dont have :/
# Feb 17th 2009, 15:03 teknoid alkemann: i completely agree with you, but i don't think we should discourage community participation by being "too tough", hence the ranking the system will come in quite handy... the code itself (in that article) was decent, imho
# Feb 17th 2009, 15:03 alkemann teknoid: dont think of it as discouragement, think of it as ENcouragement, of doing it right
# Feb 17th 2009, 15:04 alkemann teknoid: on a completely different note. there is a typo in one of ur blog articles that is giving lots of copy paste artists lots of trouble.. ADmad u remember what it is?
# Feb 17th 2009, 15:04 alkemann a missplaced ) i think
# Feb 17th 2009, 15:04 teknoid i made a typo... no way :)...
# Feb 17th 2009, 15:05 ADmad teknoid: the one about prg
# Feb 17th 2009, 15:05 alkemann hehe imagine that
# Feb 17th 2009, 15:05 teknoid fckuk
# Feb 17th 2009, 15:05 teknoid dohh
# Feb 17th 2009, 15:05 ADmad http://teknoid.wordpress.com/2008/06/24/retaining-a-search-string-in-the-url/
# Feb 17th 2009, 15:05 alkemann yes line 3
# Feb 17th 2009, 15:05 alkemann of code
# Feb 17th 2009, 15:06 ADmad remove the ) after 'search' and put it at the end :)
# Feb 17th 2009, 15:07 alkemann teknoid: i can let you know that i have already read ronnyvv's dummy article, so that is good enough for you publish :p
# Feb 17th 2009, 15:08 alkemann i dont think i managed to be a suberfuge as i intended there .. hehe
# Feb 17th 2009, 15:08 teknoid thank you... fixed... i wonder if i had too many or that was really working, 'cause i usually copy/paste stuff from my own apps...
# Feb 17th 2009, 15:09 alkemann had to many.. beers?
