  <akgraner> [LINK] - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website

• <pleia2> so I'm inclined to let them come up with some themes

  <pleia2> then work with some ideas on our site baed on those

  <pleia2> they have groups working on wordpress, drupal and plain html/css for plain sites

  <pleia2> and need volunteers

- Open Discussion

• <elky> We're behind on reporting

  <akgraner> elky, nods

  <pleia2> yeah, I mentioned that earlier today

  <pleia2> need to get that done before sunday

  <akgraner> I was going to catch it up for the weekend of the 5th when it is due

  <elky> so if people want to pool together and scour the lists

  <pleia2> oh, next sunday?

  <elky> pleia2, i mentioned it a few weeks ago, but it's not been a good few weeks for me

  <akgraner> 1st Sunday of each month

  <akgraner> is when nhandler pulls the reports for UWN

  <pleia2> k

  <elky> akgraner, i figure getting everyone to help out will make it easier

  <akgraner> pleia2, does it still need to be put in the /TeamReports format or do you just make it happen

  <akgraner> elky, nods

  <akgraner>

  <akgraner> pleia2, is the magic behind the team reports

  <pleia2> we don't use the same format as teams on w.u.c because we can't be automagically included anyawy

  <pleia2> since we're on a different wiki

  <akgraner> ahh ok - then nm me but nhandler still pulls them right?

  <pleia2> no, I put them on the main team report

  <akgraner> ahh ok

  <pleia2> then he pulls them for UWN from there

  <nhandler> And then my script parses the main team report page to put it in UWN format

  <akgraner> gotcha see pleia2 magic

  <pleia2> lol

  <akgraner> nhandler, thanks for that bte

  <akgraner> btw

  <akgraner> pleia2, do you have the link handy for where people can add items too

  <akgraner> I found it
