media channels about next week's docsprint
[2:09pm] julee_: Resolved
[2:09pm] jswisher: TOPIC: Triage of new issues
[2:10pm] jswisher: julee_: Would prefer to go through Chris's work, 
rather than individual bugs
[2:10pm] jswisher: ... notice that the Content bugs are assigned to 
either Chris or Garbee 
(https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/buglist.cgi?product=webplatform.org&component=content&resolution=---&list_id=2513)
[2:11pm] jswisher: scottrowe_: Not sure what to do about that. Garbee 
especially has a lot on his plate. Don't want to burn him out
[2:11pm] jswisher: julee_: Need to encourage people to "take" bugs that 
are assigned to others
[2:12pm] jswisher: ... and to reassign bugs that are assigned to them
[2:12pm] jswisher: ... Should we bring this as process issue to the

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webplatform/2012Dec/0172.html

[2:15pm] jswisher: ACTION: Eliot to do editorial review of descriptions 
on main page
[2:16pm] jswisher: julee_: Be sure to look for things like "Web" vs. "web"
[2:17pm] jswisher: julee_: Next thing is Icon proposal for WPD topics, 
that's great
[2:17pm] jswisher: ... 
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webplatform/2012Dec/0235.html
[2:18pm] jswisher: ... let people browse by tech, by tutorials, or by 
reference
[2:19pm] jswisher: scottrowe_: It's a reasonable way of addressing the 
different approaches
[2:20pm] julee_: jswisher isn't sure how this would shake out in practice
[2:23pm] jswisher: Eliot: somewhat similar to the topic listing on MDN
[2:24pm] . shepazu would scribe jswisher as having just said, 
"mmmnnn-meh...." in a frustrated tone
[2:25pm] jswisher: jswisher: Boils down to "I want to learn" or "I was 
to look something up"
[2:25pm] jswisher: julee_: the way the site is divvied up separates the 
material, how do we bring it back together?
[2:26pm] jswisher: jswisher: I'm not satisfied with this, but I don't 
have a better counterproposal
[2:27pm] jswisher: Eliot: We do have a top-level tutorials page; call 
that out in a link, to ensure it's visible
[2:28pm] jswisher: julee_: We can ask Chris to provide the next level of 
nav, so we can validate
[2:28pm] jswisher: Eliot: yes, let's mock something up
[2:29pm] jswisher: ACTION: jswisher to respond to email thread and ask 
for the next level of detail

for editors (~20 pages currently)
[2:31pm] jswisher: julee_: Chris is working on global nav experience
[2:32pm] jswisher: julee_: Julee is working on updating topic hierarchy 
and architecture pages
[2:32pm] jswisher: ... Once we have those 3 areas done, we'll be in good 
shape to add more editors
[2:32pm] jswisher: ... (plus the session bug)
[2:33pm] jswisher: shepazu: I have been working with Hello Veldt (MW 
consultants)
[2:34pm] jswisher: ... Markus thinks he tracked down an issue with the 
skin's separation of resources
[2:34pm] jswisher: ... Once that's resolved, Ryan will be able to 
upgrade, which should address the session problems
[2:34pm] mstalfoort left the chat room. (*.net *.split)
[2:34pm] Ryan_Lane left the chat room. (*.net *.split)
[2:35pm] jswisher: julee_: Any other blocks to editors working efficiently?
