• (19:03) chadsansing: Thnx muchly :)
• (19:03) Jeremie: Okay, let's get started
• (19:04) Jeremie: There is no action item from the last time
• (19:04) Jeremie: So our first topis is: Creating an HTML cheatsheet
• (19:04) Jeremie: Today I had a conversation on Twitter about having a simple HTML cheatsheet on MDN
• (19:04) Jeremie: https://twitter.com/DavidBruant/status/653505445122965504
• (19:05) Jeremie: It sounds as a very good idea. If any one is interrested to create it, feel free :) It's a nice opportunity to write something very simple and straightforward about HTML.
• (19:05) Heather: o/
• (19:05) Jeremie: dvincent: I think it would worth tweeting about it. I set up a trello card if you want a link to share: https://trello.com/c/qsgSpZ6x
• (19:05) Jeremie: Hi Heather :)
• (19:05) klez: hi heather o/
• (19:05) Heather: hello all
• (19:06) dvincent: Ok!
• (19:06) Jeremie: dvincent: Thanks :)
• (19:06) Sphinx: looks like a cool short mission for a newcomer regarding the /Learn/HTML :)
• (19:07) chadsansing: I'll share it to the clubs thread on Discourse & update the link as it shows up on MDN.
• (19:07) dvincent: I don't know if the twitter community at large knows how to use Trello or the significance of Trello cards. We may just want to make a stub page and call for people to contribute.
• (19:07) dvincent: It gives people a runway
• (19:07) Jeremie: Sphinx: Yes absolutely :)
• (19:08) chadsansing: Might be cool for club members to contribute.
• (19:08) Jeremie: dvincent: Yes, I understand. But I hate stub as they tend to be forgotten with poor content :-/
• (19:08) Jeremie: chadsansing: Absolutly :)
• (19:08) jsx: Jeremie: you meant a new page that shows element usage examples side by side with how they look, right?
• (19:08) klez: Jeremie, dvincent is right, having a bit of a stub makes people more comfortable with first time contribution
• (19:09) Jeremie: jsx, but just the basic stuff (no need to dig into the 140 HTML tags)
• (19:09) dvincent: maybe I could put out a call for people to brainstorm on what topics they might want included in the stub, and then I (or someone, who we should name) would update the stub and tag the person who suggested it
• (19:10) jsx: Ok
• (19:10) Jeremie: klez: Yes, I agree, I just make sure every body is aware of the draw back if no one is monitoring the work
• (19:10) Jeremie: dvincent: Yes, that sounds very cool
• (19:10) dvincent: might be a cool project to see if we could rope people in. I would not mind adding that to my workflow for the next week or so.
• (19:10) Jeremie: dvincent: \o/
• (19:11) dvincent: {you'll probably have to walk me through how to create/update stub pages, since I've only done minor updates}
• (19:11) chadsansing: Please send me a link to the page once it's created; sharing here: https://discourse.webmaker.org/t/html-cheatsheet-to-share/187
• (19:11) Jeremie: dvincent: No problem I do not have time to do it myself but I can mentor anyone who wish to help :)
• (19:11) Sphinx: (there is no such thing as "minor update")
• (19:11) Jeremie: Sphinx: +1
• (19:12) Jeremie: chadsansing: Okay :)
• (19:12) chadsansing: Sweet,
• (19:12) dvincent: ok, well, updating the MDN twitter handle to be the new one not the old one. ;)
• (19:12) dvincent: woo hoo!
• (19:13) Jeremie: Okay, any question or can we move for ward?
• (19:13) klez: I'd do anything for ward, that guy is great :P
