00:26.56aviraldgHi All.
00:27.09aviraldgIf we submit a task (about now)
00:27.17aviraldgcan it be reviewed after the deadline?
00:30.23ojwbaviraldg: nobody here seems to know
00:30.35ojwb(same question was asked earlier)
00:30.42aviraldghmmm
00:30.45aviraldgokay,
00:30.48aviraldgthanks anyway
00:31.26aviraldgMy mentor's on vacation, so I thought I could submit the task and he could review it when he got back...
00:31.27aviraldgbut
00:31.30aviraldgthanks anyway
00:32.06ojwbthere's nothing to lose by submitting it that I can see
00:32.21ojwbbut perhaps talk to an admin for the org
00:32.29aviraldgaviraldg: yeah, that's what I'll do
00:32.32aviraldgbtw

01:33.33GautamGuptaHello, is anyone there?
01:34.32GautamGuptaIt's written "January 10, 2011, 12:00 AM Pacific Time / 08:00 UTC: All work stops"
01:34.33GautamGuptaSo we take 12:00 AM as 00:00 or noon?
01:35.51ojwbwell, the UTC time is completely unambiguous...
01:36.16ojwbsince the US is behind europe, it must be 12:00AM must mean 00:00
01:36.24kstarGautamGupta: 8 AM UTC => 13:30 IST, if you are in India.
01:36.35aviraldgojwb: or the UTC could be in PM
01:36.47ojwbno, that would be 20:00 or 8pm
01:39.09theboltUTC is never used with am/pm (if used correctly ;)

03:43.02Dark_ShikariAny admins on?  We have a student with a few tasks left to submit, but our org admin is asleep and probably won't be awake until after the deadline, so he can't approve more tasks.
03:43.20Dark_ShikariWe didn't quite realize how many bugs this student had fixed.
03:43.27Dark_Shikariand our admin didn't like approving 30 tasks at a time.

10:58.38aviraldgI just want to know whether it can be done or not
10:58.40Nightroseno but it's also not the other student's fault either
10:58.44gevaertsThomasWaldmann: you could have given them your phone number, and then it would have been :)
10:58.57ojwbthe same rules presumably apply to everyone, so to me it seems it would only be unfair in as much as it wasn't clearly advertised how the cutoff would work
10:59.02Nightrosesay you approve this task now and kick someone from the top 10
10:59.16ThomasWaldmanngevaerts: :P
10:59.19Nightrosethat'd be extremely disappointing
10:59.58aviraldgNightrose: I have all the more reason to support that, (10th by 2 points)
11:00.14aviraldgI just wanted to know if GCI has been "locked down"
11:00.33ThomasWaldmannhehe. i doubt that the student in question is near the top 10.
11:01.40Nightrosethere might be a case where he is
11:01.44aviraldgNightrose: Plus, it appears that no Google employees are online, neither here, nor on #melange
11:02.04Nightroseaviraldg: yea it's very early morning in carol land
11:02.11Nightroseshe'll be around soon i'm sure
11:02.28aviraldgcarol land :D haah
11:02.30gevaertsAnd then wish she hadn't woken up :)
11:02.36ThomasWaldmannyes, i also think we need better specs of the deadline next time.
11:02.37aviraldgyeah
11:02.52Nightroseagreed
11:02.54aviraldggevaerts: ?????
11:03.17gevaertsaviraldg: when she looks at her inbox I mean
11:03.19ThomasWaldmannbut unless clarified otherwise, i have to think of it as a student deadline and if student submits valid work 1s before it, it should be possible to accept it.
11:03.32aviraldgyeah ;)
11:04.00aviraldgThomasWaldmann: I was under the same impression
11:05.10ThomasWaldmannaviraldg: did you have a look at MoinI18n/hi and /hi2?

11:09.08aviraldgThomasWaldmann: I've had a look at the translation thing
11:09.16aviraldgsome of them are okay
11:09.23aviraldgand some of them are just ... wierd
11:09.34aviraldgfor example, this one:
11:09.37aviraldg0025: msgid "Invalid username or password."
11:09.39aviraldg0026: msgstr "प्रयोगकर्ता का नाम और संकेत शब्द अमान्य "
11:09.48aviraldgthe translation literally means
11:10.20ThomasWaldmann(we are talking about /hi, right?)
11:10.30aviraldg"The user's name and indication-word are unacceptable."
11:11.15ThomasWaldmannsounds unacceptable ;)
11:11.20aviraldgand there are some errors
11:11.23aviraldg0036: msgid "Your changes are not saved!"
11:11.24aviraldg0037: msgstr "आपका परिवर्तन सुरक्षित नहीं किया गया। "
11:11.28aviraldgliterally translated means
11:11.46aviraldgYour *change* is not safe.
11:12.10ThomasWaldmannargh
11:12.36ThomasWaldmannok, found the strings on /hi
11:12.49*** join/#gsoc sioraiocht (~tomh@unaffiliated/sioraiocht)
11:13.03ThomasWaldmannok, i guess I don't need to accept that one. it has also lots of gettext errors.
11:13.11ThomasWaldmannaviraldg: /hi2 any better?
11:13.15aviraldgThomasWaldmann: I for one certainly don't like internationalization. I would be very irritated indeed if an app I use showed up in Hindi.
11:13.45ThomasWaldmannif you have "en" in your browser or user settings, you'll get that :)
11:14.13aviraldgI know, I do. But just saying...

11:15.43GautamGuptahttp://master19.moinmo.in/MoinI18n/hi -> This really looks like Google Translated
11:15.52aviraldgThomasWaldmann: The moment I saw it
11:15.57aviraldgI had a hunch about it
11:16.03aviraldgand indeed it is
11:16.16aviraldgGautamGupta: it is Google Translate'd
11:16.48GautamGuptahttp://master19.moinmo.in/MoinI18n/hi2 -> This too, both contain grammatical errors
11:16.58aviraldgbtw.
11:17.01aviraldgthe first one isn't
11:17.04aviraldgthe second one is
11:17.14aviraldgGautamGupta: read ^
11:18.21GautamGuptaaviraldg: If it had not been Google Translated, it'd have been atleast making *some* sense, but it is making none
11:18.41aviraldgthe first document makes sense
11:18.46aviraldgbut there are some errors
11:18.46ThomasWaldmannmaybe rather google translate should have shown these 500 server error more often in the past weeks :D
11:19.11GautamGuptalol
11:19.34ThomasWaldmannok, i am a bit confused, so which are very likely GT-output?
11:19.43aviraldgI'd say second one
11:19.53aviraldgthe second one matches word for word
11:19.59GautamGuptaHmm
11:20.16ThomasWaldmanngreat :|
11:20.20aviraldgthe first one looks like it's hand translated, but there are errors
11:20.47ThomasWaldmannis google translate outputting very formal hard-core hindi?
11:20.56aviraldgyeah
11:21.03aviraldgmostly
11:21.14aviraldgand some stuff that just doesn't make sens
11:21.16GautamGuptabut very much incorrect
11:21.17aviraldg*sense
11:21.40ThomasWaldmannany proof of something that can't be human in /hi2?
11:21.41GautamGupta* words are correct, not the sentence formation
11:22.17aviraldg* certain english words written in the devnagri(hindi) script
11:22.20GautamGuptaThe english version means the opposite of this - विकी वर्तमान में पहुँच से बाहर नहीं है.
11:22.22aviraldgbut not translated
11:22.40aviraldgyeah :D
11:22.48GautamGuptaShould have been विकी वर्तमान में पहुँच से बाहर है|
11:23.02aviraldgcomputers always stumble up on the "not"
11:23.22aviraldgThomasWaldmann: gettext should be modified to use Google Translate output for a language if po files for it are not available...
11:23.50GautamGuptaaviraldg: Try out GlotPress
11:24.00aviraldgwhat's that?
11:24.05GautamGuptaGoogle
11:24.08GautamGupta;)
11:24.13theboltin general google translate have big problems with the grammar if the language is very different from english
11:24.29aviraldgyeah
11:24.32GautamGuptaright
11:24.42theboltít trips up pretty badly on english->chinese as well
11:25.03aviraldgGautamGupta: sounds pretty cool
11:25.05thebolt(i've noticed, and i am just beginning to learn it ;)
11:25.28aviraldgI want to learn Japanese ... to read the cool comics they have
11:25.43theboltheh
11:26.04thebolti have a friend back in sweden who taught himself to read (and write) japanese through and because of comics
11:26.07thebolthe cannot speak though
11:26.44aviraldgthebolt: I tried to learn Kanji once, but I found it too difficult
11:27.33theboltaviraldg: hehe, just have to practice.. ;)
11:28.03thebolti'm learning tradiitional chinese script (ie not "simplified" which sometimes isn't simpler really :P)
11:29.31ThomasWaldmannwhile we are at it, some magyar (hu) native speaker here?
11:30.20GautamGuptaHmm.. the CSV export for ranks just vanished..??
11:30.25GautamGuptaOh it is there
11:31.40ThomasWaldmanni guess we need some google-translate-checker before next gci :)
11:32.23theboltThomasWaldmann: or not have such tasks ;)
11:32.41GautamGuptaThomasWaldmann: Istead, just install GlotPress on a server, upload your POT file, bulk auto translate - all translations would be marked as fuzzy
11:32.46GautamGuptaand the user would have to correct them
11:32.56GautamGuptawould also show history
11:33.24ThomasWaldmannthebolt: yeah :| but aside from cheating being possible and gt being abused, i think those are nice tasks for non-coding people.
11:34.30ThomasWaldmannGautamGupta: i don't know glotpress, but if you start from an automated translation, outcome might be worse than when starting from scratch
11:34.51aviraldgThomasWaldmann: No offence to "non-coding" people
11:35.01theboltThomasWaldmann: yes, true
11:35.02aviraldgbut I think almost no one in the top ten
11:35.10aviraldgfalls in the category of "non-coding" people
11:35.19GautamGuptaThat's right ^
11:35.21aviraldgmaybe even top 50
11:35.25aviraldgor 100
11:36.00Ivanovicsimply because coders tend to think that the non coding tasks can't be this difficult
11:36.11Ivanovicand those entering tasks tend to be coders...
11:36.12ThomasWaldmannaviraldg: that might be true, but the contest is not only about the top 10/50
11:36.13Ivanovic;)
11:36.27aviraldgThomasWaldmann: Yep.
11:36.34aviraldgJust saying...
11:37.02ThomasWaldmanna general issue this time was that "difficulty" stuff
11:37.16aviraldgwas it any different last time?
11:37.29ThomasWaldmanndon't remember :)
11:37.47aviraldgfrom the next time, I'd like the system to be like GSoC
11:37.59ThomasWaldmanna) it was handled quite differently (i have seen "fix an easy bug" with 4 points)
11:37.59aviraldgwherein, there is a student-project link
11:38.16ThomasWaldmannb) difficulty is something different than effort needed
11:38.26IvanovicThomasWaldmann: yeah
11:38.40aviraldgor as GautamGupta pointed out to me (several) times
11:38.43IvanovicThomasWaldmann: especially for eg many translation tasks the difficulty itself is medium to easy
11:38.58aviraldgthe difficulty level of one project != the difficulty level of another
11:39.11aviraldgso the tasks for some projects tend to be overrated
11:39.15Ivanovicbut the amount of time required to do it "right" (at least in the case of wesnoth!) is quite a lot
11:39.28aviraldgIvanovic: are you from wesnoth?
11:39.31ThomasWaldmannIvanovic: exactly.
11:39.32Ivanovicyeah
11:39.47ThomasWaldmannso I'ld wish for either
11:39.52aviraldgIvanovic: I wanted to do some wesnoth C++ programming tasks
11:39.54*** join/#gsoc Bat`O (~michael@eur68-3-88-172-164-71.fbx.proxad.net)
11:40.02aviraldgbut it looks like you guys only ever had one
11:40.05Ivanovicaviraldg: you could have come to irc and just asked for some!
11:40.08ThomasWaldmanna) just points (either for effort or for difficulty or both, org decides)
11:40.21ThomasWaldmannb) difficulty AND effort
11:40.27Ivanovicaviraldg: it is hard to add coding tasks in the tracker because it is difficult to judge what is really in the scope
11:40.44aviraldghmm...
11:40.48IvanovicThomasWaldmann: org decides the number of points, done
11:41.00Ivanovic(where the org can select between 1 and 10 points or the likes)
11:41.01ThomasWaldmannthat would be easiest, yes
11:41.01aviraldgalso
11:41.14aviraldgI think you should be allowed to do multiple tasks at a time
11:41.24aviraldgwith permission from a mentor
11:41.32Ivanovicaviraldg: at least it should be possible to claim a new task once the task is "under review"
11:41.44ThomasWaldmannIvanovic: but then there is still the reward per 3 tasks thing
11:41.49Ivanovicsimply because eg translation tasks require a lot more review time than lets say a 5 line patch
11:41.59aviraldgfor example, I had this situation where I had completed a task which I did claim
11:42.04aviraldgand I could not submit it
11:42.19aviraldgbecause other people kept claiming it before me
11:42.31aviraldg(*none* of them completed it either)
11:42.38aviraldgfinally, my mentor, nice guy that he is
11:42.46aviraldgcreated a separate task for me
11:43.00ThomasWaldmannaviraldg: how can someone claim something you have already claimed?
11:43.00aviraldgso, I think you should "link" students to projects
11:43.04Ivanovicaviraldg: yeah, that is basically what we were doing those last three days, too
11:43.14aviraldgThomasWaldmann: no, I hadn't claimed it
11:43.24aviraldgI was waiting for another task to be reviewed
11:43.33ThomasWaldmannaviraldg: ah
11:43.34Ivanovic(simply because we would have to review the work done in parallel to the student working or we could not be 100% sure that the task was really done in time and acknowledged)
11:43.36aviraldgso I started working on that one (it was free then)
11:44.20GautamGuptaNo one except me (excluding 1 or 2) did bbPress tasks
11:44.21aviraldg+ I think people are generally more motivated to execute their own ideas, than someone else's
11:44.26GautamGuptaso I really didn't have much problem ;)
11:44.29aviraldg*GautamGupta
11:44.33aviraldgalmost same here

11:45.36aviraldgbtw.
11:45.53aviraldgdoes anyone know why the Python project wasn't participating this time?
11:46.11ThomasWaldmannnot really
11:46.12aviraldgit appears that it had participated in GHOP
11:47.01ThomasWaldmannbut you could get your byte of Python at moin wiki project :)
11:47.51aviraldgyeah, I was thinking about doing that
11:47.58aviraldgwhen GCI started though,
11:48.13aviraldgalmost none of the moinmoin mentors were around
11:48.32aviraldgso I ended up doing just a logo task (you'll find it on your sphinx doc page)
11:49.38aviraldgThomasWaldmann: ?
11:52.49ThomasWaldmannwe were quite present, maybe you had the wrong daytime?
11:53.55aviraldghmm
11:54.00aviraldgprobably
11:54.20ThomasWaldmannin general, if course the last weeks of the year are usually rather busy, and especially the days when 27c3 was :)
11:54.42aviraldg27c3?
