This is a chat between moderators.

@Anoms12, should Zen Mods be a team nested inside of Zen Help or should they be separate?

[12th-devs]

Yes, but I feel like it will make more sense once you look at the README

[CosmoCreeper]

Yes, but I feel like it will make more sense once you look at the README

@Anoms12, I see. Shouldn't that section include userContent as well? (I did fix a typo with it.)

[12th-devs]

@CosmoCreeper Yes, I am still working on it right now, if you have timw would you work on the issue tickets or bot? Working on the Mod section in the README is great too :)

[CosmoCreeper]

@Anoms12, yeah I'll work on it.

[12th-devs]

tysm

[CosmoCreeper]

@Anoms12, I'm still working on the pinging and the teams structure but you should be able to create a new issue with the label of enhancements and it should correctly ping the Zen Mods team as well as create an evaluation markdown file and ticket folder in the github repository. (I will also work on adding functionality to automatically remove that ticket folder when the issue is closed and add back when reopened.)

[12th-devs]

@CosmoCreeper when you get the chance will you explain to the reddit guy why this is different from the mods discord server? If that's tomorrow that's ok

Edit: That might be hard because it is Wazz. Want me to ping him here?

[CosmoCreeper]

@Anoms12 Why would it be hard? Tbh, I understand this is different from the discord server, I just can't really explain it. 💀I'm kind of an idiot. (but yeah, you could ping him here.)

[12th-devs]

Lol, I pingged him on the GitHub disscussion, heres how I explained it.

@TheBigWazz, saw your comment. This is different due to its organization and speed focus. The point is to answer as many questions as possible as quickly as we can. While helping the community stay organized and accessible. So we will provide the best documentation for all Zen-related things and ensure we showcase how people use that knowledge

Also, I see you hearted it @TheBigWazz, would you help moderate?

[12th-devs]

Signing off a while. Goodnight

[CosmoCreeper]

@Anoms12, goodnight. I did finish the ticket system, just not the pinging and teams structure system inside of it. I'll try and get that portion done tomorrow and help out with the Arc-H stuff. I've also got to get some edge cases with Sine fixed.

[12th-devs]

@CosmoCreeper when you're free will you get Mauro set up correctly? I am going to write some documentation for things that come to mind. Probably theming tools idk. I had an idea last night but I'll wait to run it by you until your active.

[12th-devs]

Sounds good! Will you add samseesaw please, from the moderation invites? i will take care of his teams shortly.

[CosmoCreeper]

Okay, let me switch to pc in about 10 mins.

[12th-devs]

Ok

[CosmoCreeper]

@Anoms12 Just invited sameerasw and JustADumbPrsn because he has expressed interest to be a mod.

[12th-devs]

Sounds GooD!

[CosmoCreeper]

@Anoms12 Next would be to create the appropriate labels so that mods can add them and the github bot will respond accordingly. Which labels do we need?

[12th-devs]

@CosmoCreeper, Ok I will make the remaining teams. Will you look for more mods if your free?

[CosmoCreeper]

@Anoms12, will do.

[12th-devs]

@CosmoCreeper ok, and add tear to the org if he isn't already?

[CosmoCreeper]

@Anoms12, okay. You'll have to handle what teams he's gonna be in cause he hasn't responded yet, but at least the silkthemes one.

[12th-devs]

That's ok! I would add hib but your the maintainer.

[12th-devs]

@CosmoCreeper when your free will you accept the pending requests on the Zen Themes team?

[CosmoCreeper]

@Anoms12 okay.

[12th-devs]

@CosmoCreeper will you take a look at getting discussions linked to there respective issues somehow, and figure out why GitHub actions didn't work on #25?

[12th-devs]

@CosmoCreeper quick question, is there a way to enable configs automatically for the user in sine, like a zen feature that you cannot have on due to a theme feature? (For example, a downloads system notification is about to be merged into Zen, and the only way to turn it off is via config)

[CosmoCreeper]

@Anoms12 it is possible to toggle preexisting configs in preferences.json by using the force property and setting it to true.

[12th-devs]

@CosmoCreeper thanks! Look for some cool JS coming to the shop soon! 😁😏

[IDEA] A website to quickly pick what issue to be created... So my idea is to make a simple website which offers all the categorized options of the issue topics allowing the user to pick exactly where the issue should be related when creating rather than creating it inside github manually.

example : https://github.com/sameerasw/my-internet/issues/new?template=website-theme-request.md&title=[THEME]%20ikman.lk&body=Please%20add%20a%20theme%20for%20ikman.lk

the above link inside my addon simply creates an issue with the website theme request template with the passed info so if we can keep the issue mapping here automatically managed in a json file or so, we could offer the user options to pick where the issues fall into when creating and clicking the create button will call a similar url which eliminates the hassle of doing all that in github... and then we can further manage if needed.

I wanted to try it but afaik, we can't host github pages under free orgs... So I could try building a simple website but will need to be hosted on Netlify or something (which I actually prefer). What do you guys think?

[12th-devs]

@sameerasw sounds good to me! I had thought of it but never had a full thought for it. See what @CosmoCreeper thinks, it's his project.

[CosmoCreeper]

@sameerasw I think that's a good idea.

[sameerasw]

I'm busy till Tuesday but after that, I'll give it a go and see how to properly do it :)
