New subject: [opensuse-wiki] Testing FlaggedRevs Wiki QA

Something to keep in mind on this is if there is a corresponding NNTP group for this forum, the auto-merge should take place (ideally) before the new RSS feed message is posted - otherwise you'll end up with message inconsistencies (as they'll be threaded on the web side and not on the NNTP side).
Very important feedback and something I neglected so far, thanks. That
means (unfortuntely) that we'll be unable to hack the merging of
threads after posting and thus we obviously need to go along with it
(for now). Or do we have other ideas on the table?

All,

we now have (more or less) a precise overview of the capabilities of
the vbulletin side and thus I'd like to get started testing. We'd need
at least involvement from Tom, Rajko, one or more forums admins,
Remy/Jon. When can we get started with this? Any remaining blockers?
What about scheduling some realtime meeting on IRC while testing this?

Please provide any feedback and general availability of involved
parties. I myself will go along with whatever date/time (be it during
the week or at a weekend)

Thanks a lot in advance,
R

PS: Remy, sorry, but monkey business seems to be needed here. Seems we
should recruit at least one other Forums mod for the wiki forum.

Looking in the admin interface, it looks pretty straightforward to set up a
feed; it's not a custom bot, but part of the admin functionality in
vBulletin.  We'd need to create a forum for the feed to feed into and the URL
to the XML doc that provides the RSS feed.
We could test this in the sandbox and then reset it for a public feed view.
Actually that's exactly what I'm planning to do as soon as we thought
the "hack-possibilities" to auto-merge the thread whole through.
Grabbing the feed and posting doesn't seem to be an issue, providing
RSS with Hermes is fine as well. Remaining and most important now is
to investigate the re-opening/merging of subsequent threads related to
one single article "foobar"
All,
vBulletin doc is at http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/
Best,
R

According to http://www.vbulletin.com/ this is a
commercial product, I cannot even download the documentation...
So we need the technical forums admin to do that.
I just got notice from Kim that he's rather unavailable these days due
to too much on the plate atm. That said, I'll ask him about the
forumsbot configuration capabilities in a private conversation and
forward the answers to you. Also I try to get the vBulletin
documentation we need from him. Furthermore I herewith CC: the rest of
the admin team in order to ask for their involvement. Please keep the
CC: as is. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
Forums admins,
we need some help/input regarding the FlaggedRevs Wiki QA, i.e. the
configuration capabilities of the RSS forumsbot. Kim is rather busy
these days, so I'm wondering if you, Carl, John, Jim would be able to
jump in as an interim replacement?
In order to sync up with the current discussion, please read this thread [1]
Thanks,
R
