11:10	pdurbin	bencomp: mornin'. did you see the comment "I would blitz it all"? :)
11:40	bencomp	where?
11:40	bencomp	pdurbin: good afternoon :)
11:47	pdurbin	bencomp: in the "web pages for Dataverse Community Groups" thread
11:48	bencomp	pdurbin: ah yes, I saw
11:49	bencomp	so that's one proponent of... moving, right?
11:52	pdurbin	right. shutting down https://lists.iq.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/dvn-auth in its current form
13:08	pdurbin	bencomp: the more I think of it, the more I'm convincing myself that the auth group probably doesn't need its own mailing list at this time. I think we can just use the main list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/dataverse-community
13:09	bencomp	pdurbin: how about a dataverse-dev list for dev-influencing discussions?
13:10	bencomp	I don't want to bother people who just use dataverse without looking at the code
13:11	bencomp	or FRDs
13:11	pdurbin	bencomp: I absolutely want there to be a dataverse-dev list!
13:11	pdurbin	most projects have a -dev list
13:11	bencomp	exactly
13:12	bencomp	still wondering if there should be an -admin list too
13:12	bencomp	for admins :
13:12	bencomp	:)
13:13	pdurbin	I think inevitably you're going to get questions about how to get Dataverse installed on the main list. It's normal.
13:14	pdurbin	It's the starting point for many people.
13:14	bencomp	pdurbin: if there were a -dev list, should new GitHub issues be distributed via that list?
13:15	bencomp	sure, but at some point you may want to go into details that don't concern the general audience
13:16	pdurbin	of course, but the main list is very low traffic right now
13:23	* pdurbin	starts writing an email.
13:23	bencomp	pdurbin++
13:26	pdurbin	I wonder if I have to send this in plain text. I guess I will to be safe.
13:31	pdurbin	sent: [dvn-auth] Abnormal mailing list emails are being investigated - https://lists.iq.harvard.edu/pipermail/dvn-auth/2015-July/000031.html

13:53		dataverse-user joined #dataverse
13:54	pdurbin	dataverse-user: hi!
13:54	pdurbin	jonc1438: hi!
13:54		dataverse-user left #dataverse
14:05	bencomp	pdurbin: don't scare people away! :P
14:06	pdurbin	I wonder if dataverse-user became jonc1438 :)
14:13	jonc1438	I will try not to
14:14	pdurbin	jonc1438: I think bencomp was saying that I'm the one scaring people away. ;)
14:16	pdurbin	jonc1438: do you have any thoughts on the ideal number of mailing lists for Dataverse?
14:21		mjturk joined #dataverse
14:22	bencomp	gotta go! almost vacation (again) :)
14:22	pdurbin	bencomp: you dog. enjoy!
14:24	jonc1438	I think until we get one list that is over burdened your idea to use the main one is OK
14:24	jonc1438	Phil is not too scary
14:25	pdurbin	heh
14:26	pdurbin	jonc1438: yeah, I don't think the main Google Group is overburdened at all. It's pretty quiet.
14:27	pdurbin	jonc1438: oh, can you send this to Don? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GLky44JbtCNhGuavLXGEP8WPNdjbyHNxalEGjR78MaA/edit?usp=sharing
14:27	pdurbin	bencomp and I are thinking about reorganizing the Installation Guide
15:46	jonc1438	sure I will copy you
15:55		axfelix joined #dataverse
16:09	pdurbin	jonc1438: I see it. Thanks!
16:33	pdurbin	bencomp: I know you're on vacation but I hear you about wanting to contribute functional requirements docs and just wrote this up: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MQVYTpK6nRk4X4GBRbKwoGFS4l4Fnb1oKJLqdsQsmUQ/edit?usp=sharing
16:59	pdurbin	jonc1438: oh, I started jotting down some notes on OAuth the other day if you're interested: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/923#issuecomment-120995843
17:00	jonc1438	yes we have started the conversations here too
17:00	jonc1438	we have a test shib instance almost ready
17:02	pdurbin	jonc1438: nice!
17:02	pdurbin	I hope http://guides.dataverse.org/en/latest/installation/shibboleth.html is clear enough.
17:02	jonc1438	yep right now we are working with our local Shib folks
17:03	pdurbin	cool. I've gotten a ton of mileage out of testing with http://www.testshib.org as well.
17:03	pdurbin	no need to wait that way :)
