These are our google summer of code students, more or less.  In the
case of Smolt, I want Pavel sending patches to me instead of just
pushing them.  The only reason is because of google requirements.
That's why you probably haven't seen his application to be a member of
hgsmolt.

Still, the wiki's a group, no?

Alternatively, perhaps we should just have an GSoC group?  These guys are
technically contributors...

My personal feeling is that individuals that want to be on planet really
should be a fedora contributor.  The barriers are pretty low (and going
down even more all the time) to contribute.

The question then is, why would someone want to be on Fedora planet but
not be a fedora contributor?

I'm going to forward this to seth vidal, who is in charge of such
things, and the Fedora Infrastructure team.

Personally I think that the students/mentees will need access to the
wiki at some point or another. That can definitely count as a second
group.  I've made it a point for my mentee to have a biography on the
wiki, and with the new wiki, it has it's own group in FAS.

To actually put a blog on Planet Fedora, the mentees need to follow
the instructions seth posted a few days ago.

I made most of these changes tonight on publictest2.  There were two exceptions.

I did not change the 'display_errors' as it is useful for the testing
going on.

'open_basedir' is causing issues with the user's page (i.e. clicking
the jeffreyt link at the top of the page), when it is enabled it just
goes to a blank page.  The same happens with the Infrastructure page
as well.  Everything else seemed to work well with it enabled.  I will
play with that on a vanilla install at home and see what is up with
that.

Everything else has been modified.

If something has broken and I missed it, feel free to ping me (iWolf)
on IRC.  If I am not around you can grab the original php.ini file
from my home directory under the php-sec directory.  Just copy it to
/etc/php.ini and bounce apache and you will be back to the way it was
before I made the changes.  Please let me know if you need to do that
though, so I can look at it further.

Thanks,
Jeffrey

/wikinew/ was intentionally left off because its only a pre-migration.
Its difficult to explain to a ton of people that, for example, it just had
to be re-migrated.

Answering on this list because it just seems more appropriate:

Assuming I should be editing at http://fp.o/wikinew/ (which I got from 
#fedora-admin and didn't find in the announcement mail -maybe worth a 
follow-up?);


On the Main_Page (or any other page -that does not yet exist?-), the 
link to "edit this page" links to:


http://app1.fedora.phx.redhat.com/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=edit

The Edit link on top of existing pages goes well though.

It's a common bug...solution is to cross fingers and retry ;-)

AFAIK wiki will be migrated on mediawiki to avoid this errors

Creation of an user profile...

2008-05-24 Thread antonio montagnani

when I try to create my Profile I get this reply:

Proxy Error

The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request POST /wiki/UserPreferences.

Reason: Error reading from remote server


Apache/2.2.3 (Red Hat) Server at fedoraproject.org Port 80

Any idea???

Tnx
