[08:33:34 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yay! Apple is open sourcing their Java implementation! http://t.co/uWF4dQ9
[11:03:57 CST(-0600)] <athena> morning EricDalquist
[11:04:07 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> good morning .. on a phone call right now
[11:04:11 CST(-0600)] <athena> ok
[11:35:10 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> hey there athena
[12:27:26 CST(-0600)] * athena waves to EricDalquist
[12:27:32 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> hello
[12:27:34 CST(-0600)] <athena> so do you have any time to do testing on the weather portlet?
[12:27:41 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yeah, probably tomorrow
[12:27:50 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> working on entity file munging for our 3.2 upgrade right now
[12:28:57 CST(-0600)] <athena> ah fun
[12:29:02 CST(-0600)] <athena> when's the upgrade scheduled for?
[12:29:28 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> Jan 4
[12:29:41 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> going through the pain of parallel environment setup right now
[12:30:00 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> every time we upgrade we end up with old/new versions of each env
[12:30:06 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> and we have 5 envs
[12:31:10 CST(-0600)] <athena> eep
[12:31:14 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[12:31:24 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> and we're all CVS tag driven right now
[12:31:28 CST(-0600)] <athena> ugh
[12:31:28 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> so it is a ton of work
[12:31:31 CST(-0600)] * athena hates CVS
[12:31:32 CST(-0600)] <athena> i bet!
[13:09:50 CST(-0600)] <athena> how close are we to a 3.2.5 release?
[13:10:30 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I need to try out that mobile issue and see if I can reproduce it
[13:10:35 CST(-0600)] <athena> gotcha
[13:10:38 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> since they say they are seeing it on a 3.2.4 qs
[13:10:47 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah i haven't been able to trip it yet, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist
[13:17:19 CST(-0600)] <athena> do you have opinions about removing the Accuweather source code? should we leave it for now or is it really just dead?
[13:17:30 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I'm guess it is dead
[13:38:57 CST(-0600)] <athena> ok
[13:39:11 CST(-0600)] <athena> maybe it's better to just be proactive and take it out then
[13:39:14 CST(-0600)] <athena> cause less confusion
[13:39:16 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[13:39:21 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> that seems like a reasonable solution
[13:39:31 CST(-0600)] <athena> it looks like actually the weather icons came from a firefox extension, rather than being from accuweather themselves
[13:39:34 CST(-0600)] <athena> so i'll leave those
[13:39:46 CST(-0600)] <athena> and i think we may want to consider mapping the world weather online codes to those images
[13:39:48 CST(-0600)] <athena> they're kind of nicer
[13:40:30 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> huh
[13:40:34 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> that would be nice
[13:40:44 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I'll also look at a way to configure the weather service via overlay
[13:41:01 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> make it easier to pick without having to rebuild the war
[13:41:10 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah
[13:41:11 CST(-0600)] <athena> well
[13:41:35 CST(-0600)] <athena> we could also do something like leave both service beans enabled in the application context and switch between them based on a portlet preference or something
[13:41:44 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> true
[13:42:08 CST(-0600)] <athena> here we go: http://www.worldweatheronline.com/feed/wwoConditionCodes.txt
[13:42:16 CST(-0600)] <athena> list of all the condition codes and their descriptions
[13:42:24 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> nice
[13:42:31 CST(-0600)] <athena> in the long term i suppose it might be nice to internationalize the descriptions, as well as remapping the images
[13:42:49 CST(-0600)] <athena> we'll have to decide what we want to do about the default portlet view in the quickstart
[13:43:14 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> well the TOS for Yahoo is related to the API key correct?
[13:46:15 CST(-0600)] <athena> well
[13:46:31 CST(-0600)] <athena> as i read it, actually the RSS feeds themselves are also restricted to non-commercial use
[13:46:41 CST(-0600)] <athena> and those don't require an API key
[13:47:06 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> ah ok
[13:47:12 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> that's what I wasn't sure about
[13:47:26 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah
[13:47:28 CST(-0600)] <athena> unfortunate
[13:48:05 CST(-0600)] <athena> i mean i'd really like to leave yahoo as the default, and count on the fact that people won't actually want to use it w/o an API key because of the search issue
[13:48:08 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> and the WWO services needs an API key
[13:48:12 CST(-0600)] <athena> and that it'll be obvious because of that
[13:48:12 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah
[13:48:25 CST(-0600)] <athena> would be nice to have something that at least displays out of the box
[13:48:30 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> maybe we can leave it default and just put a little disclaimer on the default view if no API key is configured
[13:48:38 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> with a link to the wiki on how to switch backends
[13:48:49 CST(-0600)] <athena> that sounds pretty reasonable
[13:49:06 CST(-0600)] <athena> think the portlet is really due for some updates
[13:49:13 CST(-0600)] <athena> would be nice to have a 286 version anyway i suppose
[13:49:31 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[13:49:38 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> lots of portlets will get updated post 3.3
[13:49:40 CST(-0600)] <athena> and be able to use all the rest template stuff for sucking in feeds
[13:49:43 CST(-0600)] <athena> yeah
[13:49:58 CST(-0600)] <athena> so the WWO service has JAXB bindings
[13:50:10 CST(-0600)] <athena> gave up on that for yahoo and just slammed in a couple groovy XMLSlurpers
[13:50:22 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist>
[13:50:39 CST(-0600)] <athena> their stuff is kind of harder to map given all the namespace issues
[13:50:48 CST(-0600)] <athena> was having trouble getting it working
[13:50:57 CST(-0600)] <athena> would kind of rather use JAXB
