A rotating team of volunteers provide a summary of the months shows, as well as cover any news or discussions of note. If you have topics that you want to make about a given show, then please leave a comment and we will read it out.

This is a reserved slot scheduled for the first Monday of the month. You are invited to participate, but participants are expected to have listened to all the shows.

Mailing List discussions

Policy decisions surrounding HPR are taken by the community as a whole. This discussion takes place on the Mail List which is open to all HPR listeners and contributors. The discussions are open and available on the HPR server under Mailman.

The threaded discussions this month can be found here:

Any other business

Website changes

There have been two changes to the HPR website in May:

  • The tags for a show are now being displayed in the header of each show page

  • A fault in the comment display code, which resulted in comments containing the percent sign (%) not to be displayed, has been corrected.

Tags and Summaries

Thanks to Windigo for sending in updates in the past month.

Over the period tags and/or summaries have been added to 2 shows which were missing them.

Comment #1 posted on 2018-06-15 14:24:50 by clacke

The group of the tab is in the windowing (of it)

I've never looked into tab grouping, because what I do, if my tabs start becoming unwieldy, is that I drag one of them out of the window, and it becomes a new window. I may drag other tabs into that new window if they belong together.

You people who use tab grouping, do you do this as well, giving you two-dimensional tab grouping, or does grouping replace multiple windows?

Comment #2 posted on 2018-06-15 15:53:46 by Dave Morriss

I don't use multiple windows

In my case I use tab groups to keep useful and related web sites together to make "context switching" simpler. For example, in Pale Moon I have a group per HPR series or project, and when I'm in the mood to prepare a new HPR show I run it on my right-hand monitor with Gvim on the left.

I usually have Vivaldi, Chromium and IceWeasel running on different XFCE desktops as well, and all of these have pinned tabs so I can easily visit various HPR pages, the most used pages on my local MediaWiki instance, GitLab, GitHub, archive.org, Telegram groups, and so on.

It's probably (barely) organised chaos, but I like it ;-)
