| r_schestowitz | yesterday was exceptionally slow. | Sep 25 08:39 |
| r_schestowitz | I was annoyed by 4 incidents in one day | Sep 25 08:39 |
| r_schestowitz | 1. BT wasted a lot of my time (phone) | Sep 25 08:39 |
| r_schestowitz | 2. Wasted an hour trying to copy photos from mom's phone (wasn't even successful!!) | Sep 25 08:39 |
| r_schestowitz | 3. Slow news caused me to double and triple check everything | Sep 25 08:39 |
| r_schestowitz | 4. Wasted half an hour debugging tuxmachines after an odd, invalid character made it into a node, causing the RSS feed to break. | Sep 25 08:39 |

| r_schestowitz | > By the way, CentOS 8 seems to be ready. Will kaniini have time this autumn? | Sep 25 08:39 |
| r_schestowitz | Probably. More so if we pay him a bit. No rush, I'm just glad IBM keeps it going. | Sep 25 08:39 |

| r_schestowitz | > i cant move forward with this until there is some process in place. the nomination process is open, the inclusion process is up to more than one person, but it is not open. sure, we can talk about it. but giving examples of those we dont include defeats the purpose of the list as well as the purpose of not including them. | Sep 25 08:48 |

| r_schestowitz | > id like to move forward but this is a showstopper until we are closer to being on the same page. im not worried about it, im far more concerned about other things going on that have nothing to do with this, but so far the proposed compromises really take away from any advantage of doing it-- i regret the likelihood of just shelving the idea, but i dont think theres a (viable) alternative at the moment. | Sep 25 08:48 |

| r_schestowitz | > so thats two ideas im waiting on and possibly shelving, but thats alright. maybe another idea will come up. | Sep 25 08:48 |
| r_schestowitz | The above idea is fine and should go ahead. Make the lists, add reasons to consider or to hesitate. This should be a matter of public record, no self-censorship needed. | Sep 25 08:48 |

| r_schestowitz | We need to write about these things. | Sep 25 08:49 |

| r_schestowitz | Over a decade ago I learned -- the hard way --what to avoid in headlines and summaries (which characters). You'd be surprised how many 'secret rules' there are if you want avoid breaking your feed -- or WORSE -- your whole site. | Sep 25 08:56 |
| r_schestowitz | I learned the hard way. | Sep 25 08:56 |
| r_schestowitz | Took me 30 MINUTES to resolved in TM yesterday (thankfully Rianne had noticed the issue fast). | Sep 25 08:56 |
