07:13.43mozratthat doesn't seem to work

10:20.59jason_ukfsnhow's life?
10:21.04mozratlife is good
10:21.54jason_ukfsnI wanted to pop along for the last meeting but I'm so busy these days that it's getting harder and harder to get to things :(
10:22.19mozratI know the feeling
10:22.45mozratdoes UKFSN run the wiki.gllug.org.uk site?
10:22.53morsingJason. You're a rare guest! Welcome
10:22.53mozratit's very slow when you click to edit a page
10:23.13murble'lo jason
10:25.59jason_ukfsnmozrat: the wiki is handled by Richard on a boxsomewhere in jcolo. ukfsn just has an apache proxypass directive for it
10:26.20jason_ukfsnmorsing: I'm rare because I avoid the sun - I don't like being over cooked ;)
10:26.29morsing:-)
10:26.38morsingMmm... jason_ukfsn medium done
10:27.41highburyHey jason_ukfsn !
10:35.37jason_ukfsnIs anyone actually adding content to the wiki?
10:35.45jason_ukfsnEach time I check it the front page is unchanged.
10:35.46George3.5 hours.
10:35.51jason_ukfsnAside from when it get's spammd
10:36.18jason_ukfsns/md$/med/
10:36.31highburyWe agreed at the last meeting we needed to revisit what we were doing with it and the site in general
10:37.21highburywe basically need more people to be involved in maintaining the site to keep it up to date and relevant
10:37.50highburyperhaps almost make the whole site a wiki, with specific pages locked to a specific group of people
10:38.40jason_ukfsnI'm less and less happy with wiki's now that the spammers are onto them. The spamming process is entirely automated and it looks like botnets are being used for this as well now.
10:39.26jason_ukfsnI think managing a wiki is now getting to be more work that managing a site "properly"
10:40.11highburyThe ideal scenario, I guess, would be that authors would have to go through some form of proper authentication, say using pgp or such
10:40.26highburythen we could have key signing at the meetings
10:40.52jason_ukfsnwhy bother with pgp or other burdens. Simply have it secured with login via a https site for management.
10:52.42highburyI'm totally open to options, I would like to see some form of content-management, to at least track changes
10:57.53jason_ukfsnI'm more than happy to implement https for gllug. I don't think there is a need for a cert backed by a "proper" cert authority but if people want one UKFSN can do them for silly money now ($27.50/year)
11:00.22jason_ukfsns/\$/£/
11:05.29rhoweYou could do HTTPS client cert. authentication, and sign certificate requests at the meetings
11:08.27jason_ukfsnagain it's more hassle than is really justified. Why should someone need a client cert for something as simple as a session to update a web page. It's not as though it's a site that has specific issues of trust involving valuable data or $other
11:09.03jason_ukfsnIs GLLUG really anything more than a means of sharing the benefits of Free Software that we've received and having a bit of fun?
11:14.46rhoweI didn't say it was a good idea, just that you could do it :)
11:30.13jason_ukfsnI have to go and do some work to get my VAT return sent off.
11:30.24jason_ukfsnI'll pop back later.
