Thanks for those hints, Alan. I now understand a bit more about MoinMoin. So, this is the plan. I've re-enabled new accounts, which means that anyone can create an account. BUT, only users who are members of the 'editors' group can change things. If you want to be an editor, create an account, and let me know your user name by sending an email to webmas...@hantslug.org.uk. Hopefully that will allow people to update the wiki, but keep the spammers out. cheers Chris -- Chris Dennis cgden...@btinternet.com Fordingbridge, Hampshire, UK -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --

Re: [Hampshire] Ubuntu Unity
It isn't just me. I've been trying to warm to Unity and had pretty much given up. I'd set-up my wife's account in Unity to see how a less computer-savvy person gets on with the interface. She does just mail, web, and very occasional WP, so nothing special. Today she rebelled and declared it 'stupid'. For her also, menus on the screen top-bar were so counter-intuitive that she thought they'd been removed. So now, for the moment at least, we've both reverted to Gnome. Personally I'll likely now switch to an fvwm set-up, which I always preferred, only having changed to Gnome to 'go with the flow'. Sorry Alan, but we both strongly dislike Unity.

Re: [Hampshire] Ubuntu Unity
A few more data points: My parents and uncle both find it confusing still after using it for a year. The invisible menus are the biggest issue for them. My wife who is a programmer (so a little more tech savvy ;) dislikes it and finds the window grouping to be annoying/frustrating and the tray indicators to be buggy - especially with LibreOffice. I don't find it confusing but I prefer GNOME 2 considerably and dislike the left hand tray (on widescreen you have to move your mouse further too!). I also find it's considerably slows me down, and the extra space produced doesn't seem necessary on my 2560x1440 monitor. I now use Mac primarily, despite having been using Linux almost exclusively since 2000 (when I was 14). I've not heard anyone IRL singing it's praises, unlike GNOME 2. -- Sent from my iPhone, so please forgive spelling/brevity. www.BenjieGillam.com Founder: FitFu.com, GymFu.com Brain Bakery Ltd. and GymFu Ltd have registered address: 7 Duck Island Lane BH24 3AA.
