remove irc page and point to gitlab instead #268
Conversation
|
Can people who don't have UWaterloo credentials still access the gitlab? I believe that people also have to be added to the GitLab project to see the wiki. |
|
oh damn you do have to sign in you don't need to be added to the project though, since the documentation project is public I'll just copy the file over from the wiki to the irc page I guess? |
|
Oh we copied the internal wiki to the documentation page? Nice. It's pretty lengthy to just copy and paste. Maybe make a separate page and link to it. |
|
we didn't copy the internal wiki (I think, not sure what you mean) there's multiple projects on gitlab, and the irc documentation is in the public project (the one wics-sys uses) I'd copy and paste it to the separate page that already existed (that I just deleted) |
|
I was refering to the wics-eyes-only wiki vs the wics/documentatin wiki. Sounds good! |
|
oh I don't think it was ever on the internal wiki (or if it was, someone must've moved it over ^_^) |
|
Oh you're right, it links to the documentation project. My bad! |

I would link to the wics-sys mailing list instead of Fatema--this should fall under whoever is currently sysadmin

I would shorten this to "WeeChat is good if you like to have a GUI". I find instructions really hard to follow when they're wordy.

I think we can move the bit that says "you need an account on taurine or mother-goose before setting up IRC" and also instructions on how to do that (go to CSC with $2/ email wics-sys) before the steps.

"PM" -> "PM (private message or direct message)" ?

I think I'll just get rid of PM and say 'privately message'

I think "Use whichever option works best for you" would be better on the line below the title. It's an instruction, so it doesn't super fit being in the header.

Having 5 & 6 as separate steps makes it seem like you have to do both to get WeeChat to work. Maybe combine this in to a single step?

In this step, it says that "you need to join all channels" but that doesn't actually happen in this step. This can probably be combined with 8.

The word after the numbers should be capitalized :)

@evykassirer @arshiamufti What's the status of this? |
|
haven't been working on it for a while since it's not urgent. I'll try to get it done this term though, or someone else can take it on if they want! |
|
It'd be nice if we could sort this out soon... It's been open for a while and I don't think it'll take long to fix. |
|
well, I don't think it's more important than #249 which took months If I do it, it'll probably be in the next month. I'm also happy for someone else to take it on if we want it sooner :) |
|
@wics-uw/contributors It'd be nice to get feedback from people currently trying to use the documentation :) Let us know what you think needs fixing. |

added some stuff from our page to the gitlab page so no info is lost: https://git.uwaterloo.ca/wics/documentation/wikis/irc
