Re: access to make changes to archives.postgresql.org, http://www.postgresql.org/community/lists/subscribe

Hello,

May I please be given access to make changes to the web pages that are
housed on archives.postgresql.org? Also to
/community/lists/subscribe? This is the correct list to make these
requests, yes? I've sent three messages requesting changes so far,
with no response from anyone.

The blank pages are causing lots of problems for the new user groups
because people are being directed to the "lists" pages to subscribe,
and when they click the links, nothing is there!

It took about 1.5 years to get the PDXPUG pages properly formatted.
Obviously, I would like to fix the new user group pages faster than
that :)

We have two more user groups that are "queued" because I don't want to
put them out there without proper support.

Thank you, Stefan. I really appreciate it.

I will handle the /community/lists/subscribe stuff later today - the
archives templates can only be fixed by dave or marc iirc.

Marc normally deals with the archives site, though I have been known
to pickup fixes in his absence. Fire over the changes you want to me
and I'll add them to my todo list and try to squeeze them in sometime
this week.

Anyone else with commit privs can tweak the other page - there are a
few folks here that can do it, but if none of them are brave enough
for the challenge I'll pick that up as well.

I appreciate that.

Here are the pages that need to be updated:

http://archives.postgresql.org/spug/
http://archives.postgresql.org/atlpug/
http://archives.postgresql.org/seapug/

Also, can we get the following linked in the navigation menu along
with SFPUG, PDXPUG and SYDPUG:

http://archives.postgresql.org/lapug/
http://archives.postgresql.org/spug/
http://archives.postgresql.org/atlpug/
http://archives.postgresql.org/seapug/

I'm about to request lists for MADPUG and a new PUG in Austin, TX.
Possibly another two for Salt Lake City and Boston.

The groups are going to keep coming -- Can you grant me access to fix
these pages in the future?

Thanks -- it sounds like Stefan is going to fix this.

I had to tweak the code a bit (we had none of the pugs lists listed
there before and they use a different naming schema than the rest of the
lists) but this should appear on the main site after the next sitebuild.

Done. Changes should be visible in a few hours.

I also notice there seem to be the following additional lists:

norpug
vepug
pug-pdx
persianpug

Are they all still in use?

Finally, we should give some thought to how these work alongside the
regional lists, sich as pgsql-tr-genel or pgsql-ru-general as it seems
likely we'll get more crossover in the future (for example, you should
get a request soon for ukpug, which could equally have been
pgsql-uk-general).

I'll send messages to these and find out if anyone is still listening.

PUGs are focused on regional, in-person contact and regular, or
monthly meetings. I think UKPUG fits that model, at this point.

Perhaps UKPUG could be an umbrella like NZPUG is. Check out their
site. http://pgug.org.nz/ They've got a neat "request a meeting"
feature that Brenda set up to track where people are who create
accounts.

Yes, it will. I just wanted to make sure we had some difference
between the two types of group in mind - and clearly you do :-)

Hey, that's pretty neat. Can Drupal handle that sort of thing?

There isn't a module. Brenda just rigged up a query that searched for
location and if a wiki page didn't exist for the location, she
published the results as "requested meetings".

I want that for the main PUGS site! I'll have some time this weekend
to play around with it.

Actually, the pgsql-xx-general lists were meant to be *language* lists, not
regional ... pgsql-es-* was meant for Spanish speaking users, regardless of
what country they were in, for instance ... tr == turkish ... ru == russian ...
etc ...

so maybe we do need a pgsql-uk-general, for those who prefer the queen's
english? :-)
