Yeah. Bootstrap was my first thought.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Point of order: I generally view b.org in w3m, a console web browser with no Javascript. It works beautifully. I would really, really like for that to remain the case.

Bootstrap is a CSS thing, not a Javascript thing. The idea would be to have things look the same, but in a way that scales to mobile better.

Thanks to Jon, the b.org source is now in a private repository in gitlab :).

I've added some issues, investigating the logging out issue, fixing a concerning security flaw, and coming up with a plan for a better mobile experience.

It you want to participate in board development, let me know, and I can hook you up to get access to the repository.

My first task will be organization and cleanup to make local deployment easier.

In general, I think it should be policy to work on a branch rather than master.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, oh, make a scrum team! Have sprints! And daily stand-ups!

(Please do not do these things.)

Oh, we're doing it all, including planning poker. I've got a whiteboard and a stack of sticky notes waiting. I'm going to agile the sh*t out of this.

(No, no I'm not.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Agile is a verb now? I had no idea.

hwæt

Another big issue is that after the PHP upgrade in January, all new database records that are created are encoded as UTF-8, whereas all previous database records were Latin-1. So if you go back and read any old posts, you will see a lot of ⬧s.

I was thinking of writing a script to go through and update all the old records and reencoding any that aren't just plain ascii to utf-8. (I did this manually already for a few things like the quotes, and § ita §'s username. The main problem being that it would take a long time to complete (weeks or even months), and there is the possibility I could fuck up the board's database.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Buffista product tenets:

All planning poker must be done with kittens.

After planning, post-its must be copied on to the sprint board using a system of different colored pens.

Anyone who suggests building an experience map will be staked.

Gud: Do you have the keys to ftp/ssh? i.e. Can you pull updates to the main site?
