 Marcus, personally, I don't think that replacing 1 scolling of content
with 2 scrolling content areas solve anything; it makes reading only harder.

As an alternative solution I suggest that in the future, blog posts would
be limited to the latest 2-3 blog posts, or moved to the area below the
main page buttons.

If you still want to use the content boxes that you created, I'd move the
titles OUT of the boxed areas (i.e. Recent news), add space between the
boxes.

I just wanted to help in this special topic. Of course it's not perfect 
and a lot could be improved. But this was not my intention. I got an 
idea how to limit the area and tried it.

IMHO this wouldn't help as you assume that everybody is knowing and 
following this rule. Until today this hasn't helped for the past addings.

Good idea. Feel free to try it yourself. :-)

Code snippets from oooforum in AOO website?

2014-06-01 Thread Hagar Delest

The spammers were so successful at www.oooforum.org that it is not responsive 
for several days now (much more than little outages we have been used to in the 
past). So it seems that the forum is dead.

We had talked about that in the EN forum and we had made a backup of the 
content, especially the code snippets. A possibility would be to make a 
dedicated support section in the AOO website and to have one page per topic.

I take that since forums are public, as long as the author of each post is 
kept, there is no problem putting the content online in the AOO website.
Thoughts?

If no objection, do we need to file a JIRA ticket?

I have noticed the traffic level, but seen from a monitoring POW, there are
no problems with forum.

My guess is that forum have been attacked in the same way our wiki was a
year ago.

To fight that, you need to close for creating accounts, clean the db,
update php2bb, and cross fingers before you open again.

It should be clear that its the author who published it, but a committer
who copied the original text.

no need to, this is a AOO challenge.

Problem is that there is no admin anymore. So I fear there is no one to do that.

If the forum is not dead at all, should we anyway take the initiative and 
upload the code snippets here or wait for an action from the owner (with no

Take the initiative, Hagar, giving due credit to the code originators. If there 
is an objection, the new section can always be removed.

Jan, Hagar is talking about Admin rights on the old Forum 
http://www.oooforum.org/. No one has Admin rights on that forum, so no 
anti-spam measures can be put in place.

Hagar and Imacat have Admin rights on the current OO Forums hosted by Apache.

We have some confusion here. The forum that is dead is not the official AOO
forum but the older unofficial forum at www.oooforum.org. As Hagar says, it
is not completely dead, in the sense that it can be reached sometimes with
sufficient patience, but all of the new posts are spam. I checked in mid
April and there was not a single non-spam post over the previous two weeks.
That situation seems to have continued.

Whoever authored the original code snippets, those individual authors,
are the owners of the copyright for that content.  They may have
agreed to publish the content on oooforum.org,. but that does not mean
they gave permission to have it copied and hosted someplace else.
Think of it like this:  Code snippets on StackExchange are also
public in some sense.  But that does not mean we can just copy them
in bulk and rehost them.

Is it possible to approach the operator of oooforum.org and discuss
this?  If he is no longer interested in maintaining that website,
maybe he would agree to working with us to transfer the content,
giving us permission?  Maybe even transferring the domain name?


 If no objection, do we need to file a JIRA ticket?


I'd like to see us first clarify the permissions.  Preserving the
author would be sufficient for some Creative Commons licenses, for
example.  But it is not clear that this is what we have here.  Do we
have any license to copy the content?
