I'm no longer employed at Noguska, and have taken a leave from the Nola accounting project. My wife had ouy baby, Carson Alexander last week. I'm now working for Backwatcher as a security geek, and doing some independant consulting.

This was meant to be a diary entry. Guess that'll teach me not to go six months without posting to advogato. Sorry everyone.
As punishment, you now have to come up with something interesting, that has to do with changes. :)
What are people's thoughts on the level of detail ChangeLogs should go into ?
What about CVS commit messages ?
Congrats on your baby! Remember his password must be at least six characters long and include one non-alphanumeric!

Thisu "user error" shows the user inteface of advogato needs improvement. It is not intuitive enough for the target users (free software hackers) over the various tasks that can be done on this web site.
Note I am not saying that better interface can be found. "Poor" interface does not mean it is not the best available today.
I've felt that, changelogs should be three things:
I'm not sure how it can be improved; when I go to my Account page (via the Account link at the top/bottom of the page), it says I "can post a diary entry or an article." And the "Post a new article" link has "Post a new article" twice before the text entry box. It just looks a lot worse than it really is because it happened twice in a row.
I would like to see a way to delete a commentless article, though.
It would be nice if when you visited your own person page there was a link to create new diary entries. That page is already rendered specially to add the "edit" links. Adding one more shouldn't be too much of a problem.
jamesh: so add a link to http://www.advogato.org/diary/ in your Notes section.
The problem is random people posting articles when they mean to post diary entries. Most of the people who go to the trouble of adding a link to diary/ are not likely to accidentally post articles.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
