[hackers] Bluesky 2.0 released
I've revised the bluesky theme to add a mug of Dean to the header graphic. The footer message is now a configurable variable, and it combines the theme footer with the site footer. See: http://www.hack4dean.org/phpwiki/index.php?DrupalThemes Hope you like it! -- ?!ng

Okay. It's good to have some consistency. Drupal lets admins set the footer message, we can have this appriopriatly set by default in the kit we are building. However, this does allow admins to go remove stuff that keeps themselves and us out of potential legal trouble. I'll describe how i attempted to handle this problem in Bluesky 2.0 -- just as a starting point for ideas. Please post on whether this sounds reasonable, feel free to suggest better ways or policies, etc. - The theme has its own footer on its configuration page. This footer contains the CC license message and the 11 CFR message. - This message has to announce who is paying for the site. The [SPONSOR] variable is substituted into the 11 CFR message from the Sponsor field, another setting in the theme config. - An admin can change or erase the theme footer, but there's an explanation under the text box that recommends keeping the CFR message, with a link to the relevant section of the FEC site. - Both the site footer (from the site configuration page) and the theme footer appear together at the bottom of the page. Do we need a portion hardwired in and what language should it have? That's still an open question. At the moment all i know about is 11 CFR 110.11(a)(1)(iii). See http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_03/11cfrv1_03.html It may be wise to hardcode this into themes. I don't know. Does anyone know of other requirements? -- ?!ng

I used to be a big fan of newsgroups, but I've fallen out of love with them for a number of reasons. They are incredibly difficult to moderate, keeping them free from SPAM is difficult at best, and it's a metaphor that people are going to less and less. I'd say that if we were going to set up a newsgroup, it should be pretty far down the priority list. -- Kurt -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jay R.

If neither endDateTime or duration is included, the assumption is made that the event will take place for 1 hour. Hi, Kurt. Just some thoughts... Sorry to make trouble, but is it really necessary to have two different elements for expressing the same thing? I am generally wary of redundancy in protocols, especially where it is possible for redundant representations to be in conflict. Why not just stick to a single duration element and keep it simple? Some events might not last any length of time -- for example, a deadline -- or an unknown length of time -- such as a dinner party. Instead of defaulting to a duration of 1 hour, how about interpreting events with no duration as having no duration? -- ?!ng

That's slightly tongue-in-cheek -- but only slightly. Multiple sites aggregating articles, sharing articles with each other, updating each other on new posts: it's been done, and it's called Usenet. Of course we're adding user authentication, nice graphics, and more structured data -- but it's worth noting that Usenet didn't work by having every site poll every other site for updates. Just something to think about. -- ?!ng
