• [14:17] Q Linden: hah!
• [14:17] Rob Linden: dear lazyweb
• [14:17] Scotts Winkler: hi rob
• [14:17] Carjay McGinnis: hehe
• [14:17] Rob Linden: hi Scotts
• [14:17] Poppy Linden: the lazyweb is coming to *you* rob!
• [14:18] Scotts Winkler: thank you for that solution, password issue
• [14:18] Rob Linden: oh, no prob. we still haven't isolated a repro yet....may not be exclusively about password, though
• [14:19] Scotts Winkler: someone else had issue trying login to SL webpage
• [14:20] Aimee Trescothick: popped another SpaceNavigator patch in on the metaissue today btw if it's not been noticed
• [14:20] Rob Linden: so, you might have seen that Sue Linden has been mucking about with JIRA components. she did the first batch of changes last week, and by popular demand, has another batch in the works
• [14:21] Poppy Linden: is this a move toward lining up with the internal tracker?
• [14:21] Scotts Winkler: ask you something rob if may i
• [14:21] Rob Linden: what made me think of it was thinking about patch batching.....if there are component names that would be exceptionaly handy as a patch batching tool, get that request in
• [14:21] Rob Linden: looks up jira number
• [14:21] Rob Linden: Scotts, what's up?
• [14:22] Scotts Winkler: the problem with password, that both char with special char
• [14:22] Rob Linden: Poppy: well, not entirely....we rely on tags much more internally than we can with jira.secondlife.com
• [14:23] Rob Linden: component names: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/WEB-778
• [14:24] Carjay McGinnis: 4 components so far
• [14:24] Poppy Linden: rob, do tags not scale well?
• [14:24] Scotts Winkler: hello poppy
• [14:24] Scotts Winkler: soft :)
• [14:24] Poppy Linden: hello scott... scott... scotts.
• [14:24] Rob Linden: Poppy, correct. they're much too prone to abuse on a public tracker
• [14:25] Poppy Linden: for instance, the popular "buttslol" tag might not work so well in a public tracker? ;)
• [14:25] Rob Linden: yeah, you know, for example
• [14:25] Carjay McGinnis: lol
• [14:25] Rob Linden: Scotts: let's talk about password stuff after this.
• [14:26] Rob Linden: (after this meeting, I mean)
• [14:26] Scotts Winkler: ok :)
• [14:27] Q Linden: I have a competing appt starting in 2 min -- sorry. See you next week!

• [14:30] Rob Linden: isn't sure
• [14:30] Poppy Linden: isn't sure :\
• [14:31] Carjay McGinnis: it's been broken for quite some time I think
• [14:33] Rob Linden: is there something in JIRA about that? (as I recal there was, but I don't remember)
• [14:33] Carjay McGinnis: somebody mentioned it on sldev and I assumed he/she would file a JIRA, hm
• [14:34] Rob Linden: yeah, if it's the one I replied to, I don't recall seeig a response, but I didn't keep an eye out for it

• [14:35] Rob Linden: doesn't seem to be there, anyway
• [14:35] Soft Linden: I've had an internal issue filed for the Linden who put the bogus lines in. I'll check that and just manually hack those out for now if he's still not foudn time

• [14:37] Rob Linden: cool, thanks Soft
• [14:38] Rob Linden: while we're here, any super annoying things on that list above that we should bump the priority of?
• [14:38] Rob Linden: (the JIRA query on the source code component)
• [14:40] Rob Linden: yay, it's perfect! (that's the obvious conclusion) :)
• [14:41] Rob Linden: wow...tough crowd
