[20:12] <Will-k> Next topic on the agenda: Sounds: Good or bad? [20:12] <AleWi> bad [20:12] <@Solar_Dragon> BAD [20:12] <+Doh5678> why? [20:12] <Will-k> Now, I'm not even sure what the hell this is. [20:13] <Nick97> ^ditto [20:13] <@Solar_Dragon> They're too complicated to set up :P [20:14] <+Doh5678> Needs to be less complicated [20:14] <Will-k> Solar_Dragon: What do you mean by "sounds"? [20:14] <AleWi> If you want to hear sounds you cand find it on other pages [20:14] <@Solar_Dragon> Like the buttons you hit and it plays music on wikis etc. [20:15] <Phinbart> No sounds! [20:15] <Will-k> Like sound files? As in to add to the "D'oh!" page and such? [20:15] <Will-k> Oh [20:15] <Will-k> Ok [20:15] <Will-k> Err...that's kinda pointless [20:15] <@Solar_Dragon> e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_of_China#Composition [20:15] <Will-k> Ok [20:15] <@Solar_Dragon> Yes, sound files [20:15] <Will-k> Well, I think majority say bad [20:15] <Will-k> Excluding Cal XD [20:15] <Will-k> So let's move on [20:15] <Will-k> Next: New competition [20:15] <Will-k> What do y'all think of it? [20:16] <+Doh5678> Why's no-one signed up? [20:16] <Nick97> Not interested in the prizes :P [20:16] <Will-k> Dunno [20:16] <@Solar_Dragon> XD [20:16] <Will-k> Nick97: Surely you are, I mean, didn't you enter the last one? [20:16] <AleWi> Not interesting competition [20:16] <Phinbart> Might be a delay and/or limit to the comics I can give away. As I said I have cash-flow problems. And the comics I'm sending for are BRAND NEW, not used. [20:16] <Will-k> No, I have certain complications as to why I can't enter the competition. [20:16] <Nick97> Yes, but that's cause I wanted the playing cards. :P [20:17] <Will-k> So..... no one really cares about it? [20:17] <Will-k> Geez [20:17] <Will-k> This is a quick meeting [20:17] <AleWi> The first prize have I already [20:17] <Nick97> I have Bart's guide to life, and I just buy the comics in trade paperbacks. [20:17] <Will-k> Next: Help with the newsletter [20:18] <+Doh5678> Please help [20:18] <Phinbart> Sorry I haven't been helping.

[20:19] <+Doh5678> I CBA moving it [20:19] <Will-k> XD [20:20] <Will-k> Ideally, we should move it to Wikisimpsons; NAMESPACE [20:20] <Will-k> *: [20:20] <Will-k> So, is anyone willing to help Doh? [20:20] <+Doh5678> So people please help, just give 10 minutes of your day to help me [20:20] -Will-k:#wikisimpsons- PING.

[20:22] <+Doh5678> Writing [20:23] <@Solar_Dragon> it involves raping Matthew :P [20:23] <Phinbart> Next topic? [20:23] <Will-k> Yeah, but I mean, what specificially? [20:23] <Will-k> Phinbart: No [20:23] <Will-k> Let us finish this [20:23] <Will-k> Doh5678: I'll try and see what I can do in due course :) [20:23] <+Doh5678> Look at the main page where the smartline picture is [20:23] <Will-k> Next topic: Wikisimpsons blog [20:24] <Will-k> Doh5678: Yes, I know it's there [20:24] <Will-k> So, who likes the idea of a blog? [20:24] <@Solar_Dragon> We have a blog [20:24] <+Doh5678> It needs to be updated more [20:25] <Will-k> If I understand correctly, with its own subdomain and such [20:25] <Will-k> Solar_Dragon: Hey, just going off the list [20:25] <Will-k> Mm [20:25] <Will-k> Can someone link me to it? [20:26] <+Doh5678> http://wikisimpsons.wordpress.com/ [20:26] <Will-k> Mm [20:26] <+Doh5678> I could run it [20:26] <AleWi> What should the blog contain? [20:26] <Will-k> But why dont we move it to a subdomain? [20:26] <+Doh5678> I don't think we can [20:27] <Will-k> Yes, it's possible [20:27] <Will-k> Easily possible [20:27] <+Doh5678> Is it? [20:27] <Will-k> Well, we'll talk to Jake later :) [20:27] <+Doh5678> Eample? [20:27] <+Doh5678> *Examples? [20:27] <Will-k> Also, is someone actually logging this? [20:27] <Phinbart> Yes. Doh is. [20:28] <Will-k> Doh5678: Its just like moving it to a domain, but a subdomain. [20:28] <Will-k> Phinbart: *phew* good [20:28] <Will-k> So, we'll add that to the things to ask Jake [20:29] <Will-k> *ding ding* Next topic on the agenda: Wik-E-Mart, the merchandise wiki [20:29] <Will-k> You kids been participating?

[20:31] <+Doh5678> , [20:32] <Will-k> This is a quiet meeting [20:32] <Will-k> *sigh* [20:32] <Will-k> Next up: A View Counter [20:32] <Will-k> So, who'd like a view counter for the site? [20:32] <Phinbart> A good idea! [20:32] <Will-k> IMO, no, I don't like it [20:32] <+Doh5678> Why? [20:32] <AleWi> THIS;IS;A;NOT;A;QUIET;MEETING [20:33] <Will-k> We have the page with the stats for each month [20:33] <AleWi> We already has piwiki [20:33] <+Doh5678> Per page [20:33] <Will-k> AleWi: *Piwik and yes, my point exactly [20:33] <AleWi> and a public state each month as will-k said [20:33] <+Doh5678> http://stats.grok.se/en/201111/Godot Like this [20:34] <+Doh5678> Anyomn [20:34] <Will-k> Doh5678: What, are you saying you'd like one like that? [20:34] <+Doh5678> yes [20:34] <Phinbart> No. [20:34] <+Doh5678> apart from godot [20:35] <Will-k> Doh5678: Keep that link for later [20:35] <Will-k> Next: The Halloween Skin [20:35] <+Doh5678> Why Phinbart? [20:35] <AleWi> The state there is public [20:35] <AleWi> we don't have that static public [20:35] <AleWi> *state =static [20:35] <Will-k> Look, we can have a public vote [20:35] <Will-k> What'd you guys think of the Halloween skin? [20:35] <+Doh5678> Meh [20:35] <Will-k> Unfortunately, I didn't see it with the awesome logo, regards to Smiley. [20:36] <+Doh5678> Logo? [20:36] <Will-k> Doh5678: You didn't like it? [20:36] <@Solar_Dragon> We never had the logo up [20:36] <@Solar_Dragon> Meh?! >:( [20:36] <Nick97> It was pretty cool! [20:36] <+Doh5678> I didn't mind it [20:36] <Will-k> Solar_Dragon: Hmm? So how come the File:Wiki.png was changed to the Mr. Burns? [20:36] <@Solar_Dragon> Meh?! >:( [20:36] <@Solar_Dragon> It didn't work for some reason [20:36] <Will-k> Ah [20:36] <Will-k> Well, that's too bad [20:37] <Will-k> It was an epic logo ;) [20:37] <+Doh5678> Link? [20:37] <Will-k> Nick97: Mhmm ;) [20:37] <Will-k> Doh5678: Hang on a sec [20:37] <AleWi> Next logo we have is the santa Homer [20:37] <+Doh5678> Good idea [20:37] <Will-k> http://simpsonswiki.net/w/images/archive/b/bc/20111101071509%21Wiki.png [20:38] <Will-k> I reckon we should make an Easter-themed logo :) [20:38] <Phinbart> How about we have a Bart logo? Marge logo? Lisa logo? Smiley could make different logos for different characters and change them every month. [20:38] <AleWi> Should we do like Google? [20:38] <Will-k> Like, Homer with bunny ears or something XD [20:38] <AleWi> A logo for almost every holiday? [20:38] <Nick97> I think Moe with bunny ears would be funnier. [20:38] <+Doh5678> That could be discriminatory [20:39] <Will-k> I saw a picture of Moe as a bunny somewhere XD [20:39] <@Solar_Dragon> Mister Honeybunny! :P [20:39] <Will-k> That'd do good [20:39] <Will-k> Solar_Dragon: Yes! [20:39] <Will-k> Solar_Dragon: And I can probably get a good-quality image! [20:39] <Will-k> Doh5678: True, but we can cater for the various common ones [20:39] <Phinbart> [20:38] <Phinbart> How about we have a Bart logo? Marge logo? Lisa logo? Smiley could make different logos for different characters and change them every month. - Doh said it was a good idea. Anybody else? [20:39] <Will-k> Like Christmas, Easter, Halloween [20:40] <Will-k> Phinbart: Dunno. It seems cool and diverse, but a bit of a hassle [20:40] <Will-k> I mean, it'd just be a jumble of a page on File:Wiki.png [20:40] <Phinbart> Every two months? [20:40] <+Doh5678> What about Ramadan? [20:40] <Will-k> 3, maybe [20:41] <Will-k> Hmm. I just thought, when I start my FGW, say they brought out another Star Wars parody, then the logo'd have something Star Wars-y in it [20:41] <+Doh5678> Or Passover? [20:41] <Will-k> Doh5678: Never heard of Ramadan [20:41] <Will-k> Doh5678: We can't cater for every single one [20:41] <Will-k> Only this and that [20:41] <Phinbart> Xmas, Easter, New Year?, Halloween, November 5th/July 4th? [20:41] <+Doh5678> Point [20:42] <+Doh5678> April fools obviously [20:42] <Phinbart> Nov 5th/Jul 4th means Fireworks behind Homer or something. [20:42] <Will-k> Although I believe for Chinese New Year, as well as plain New Year, we should change the background to fireworks [20:42] <Will-k> Mmm [20:42] <Nick97> What about every other country's independence day :P [20:42] <Will-k> No, we can't do that [20:42] <Phinbart> April Fools. Hmm.... [20:43] <Will-k> Maybe only America, considering the Simpsons [20:43] <@Solar_Dragon> How about we just change logo every day? :P [20:43] <Nick97> I know, I'm joking :P [20:43] <Phinbart> Itchy and Scratchy for April Fools! [20:43] <Phinbart> ? [20:43] <AleWi> every minutes? [20:43] <Will-k> Phinbart: Oh, we're planned for April Fool's ;) [20:43] <+Doh5678> Solar_Dragon does stuff on April fools [20:43] <Phinbart> D'oh! It's a Sunday! [20:43] <+Doh5678> ? [20:44] <Will-k> Solar, PM [20:44] <@Solar_Dragon> http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/013/0/d/ralphipediaup_a_ralp_by_simpsons_shoutwiki-d373gfr.png [20:44] <@Solar_Dragon> ^April Fools :P [20:45] <Phinbart> Good logo. Replace "Ralphipedia" with "Wikifools"? or just "Wikisimpsons"? [20:46] <Will-k> Well, I think it's time to move on [20:46] <Will-k> Next: the new page layouts [20:46] <Phinbart> No! [20:46] <Will-k> Here's an example: http://simpsonswiki.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon [20:46] <Phinbart> Want to continue with logo. [20:47] <Will-k> Phinbart: NO! RALPHIPEDIA! [20:47] <Will-k> Phinbart: It's not on the agenda. We'll talk about it after [20:47] <Will-k> So, the new page layouts: http://simpsonswiki.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon [20:47] <Will-k> Who here hasn't seen them? [20:48] <@Solar_Dragon> Me! [20:48] <+Doh5678> Me [20:48] <Will-k> @_@ [20:48] <Will-k> Doh5678: Really? [20:48] <Will-k> Well, what do you think of them, Doh? [20:48] <+Doh5678> No [20:48] <AleWi> I haven't notice a new page layous there [20:48] <Will-k> Nick97, participate. [20:48] <+Doh5678> They're OK [20:48] <AleWi> Have not thought about it [20:48] <Will-k> AleWi: .......that page has a new layout [20:49] <Will-k> Oh [20:49] <Will-k> "OK"?! [20:49] <Will-k> I love them! [20:49] <AleWi> It's okey [20:49] <Will-k> http://simpsonswiki.net/wiki/Futurama would be the best example actually [20:49] <Will-k> Nick97: ANSWEEEEERRRRRRR [20:50] <Nick97> They look great! [20:50] <Nick97> Happy? [20:50] <Nick97> :P [20:50] <Will-k> XD [20:50] <Will-k> Yup [20:50] <Nick97> Good. [20:50] <Will-k> But really, your input'd be nice [20:50] <Phinbart> It's a good layout. [20:50] <Will-k> Mmm
