Yes, I have seen that. But I think Sayamindu's suggestion to automatically route the traffic to community pages is a nice one and I was talking with respect to that. -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:susmit =============================================

Hi, You might already be aware that is there a major effort to design fedoracommunity.org as a central place for local community websites. http://mairin.wordpress.com/2010/07/19/fedoracommunity-org-website-design/ We could have in.fedoracommunity.org if there is a interest here and someone volunteers to create a website. Is there a need? Rahul

Announcing loki-0.11 release
by Ankur Sinha 18 Jul '10

18 Jul '10

hey all, We had shortly discussed an app that notifies the user of a new comic strip at the recent FAD. I got down to it last week and have come up with a release. I call it "loki"[1]. It's really raw right now. It uses libcurl and libconfig to read from a conf file and check for the availability of a new comic strip. It does this by comparing the stored previous issue time stamp with the "Last-modified" tag of the HTTP header returned by the site's rss feed. I haven't incorporated the notification area pop up and auto checking yet. Its on my TODO list for the next release. The app is "Autotoolized". Thanks Siddhesh for the workshop and links later to get me started. You can get the tars here[2] Please give it a try. Feedback is more than welcome. Thanks, regards, Ankur [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loki [2] http://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/loki

hi, The current reporter cannot complete the review because of lack of time. Would someone here want to take over this package? The review is almost finished. Just a few tweaks are needed to get the package approved. regards, Ankur > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=581509

Hi, I would like to step down from my role as a Fedora mentor for Ambassadors and let someone else take over since I haven't had much time to do a good job of it lately. If you are interested, let me know here or offlist and I will forward conversations/names to Fedora Ambassadors Steering Committee. They will have final say. Thanks. Rahul

[X post] recoll review request help : using modified versions of libraries for build
by Ankur Sinha 11 Jul '10

11 Jul '10

hi, I'd like to confirm if I can approve recoll[1] which uses some build deps that it ships in the tar itself. Namely, "unac" and "binc imap". > > 1. I see a unac directory with a "stripped down version of unac". You need > to > > package unac separately and add it as a build requires IMO. > > Parts of unac are significantly modified for Recoll use. The comment is > misleading, this is not just a "stripped down version of unac". I fixed the > README (for the next version). Recoll could not use the standard package. > > You can find the new README.recoll file at the following link. I hope this > clarifies things: http://bitbucket.org/medoc/recoll/src/tip/unac/ ... .... ... > There is also a partial and modified copy of binc imap.

However, the modifications made for use in the package make it a little complex. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Regards, Ankur [1] > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=612719
