Keep an eye out for a small campaign on promoting the utility 'Sellvia' here and elsewhere on SE. Links of interest on AU: askubuntu.com/q/1541775/57576, askubuntu.com/q/1541312/57576.

@ArchismanPanigrahi I see absolutely nothing in your editing of any concern but perhaps you and the other editors / curators here might find this Meta post of interest: meta.askubuntu.com/q/20648/57576

@BeastOfCaerbannog Did you catch up on those points?

@karel I suspect that @mpboden is referring to some Mod work with the OP that has taken place. And thanks for your editing ..

Have you installed the Brother Linux drivers: https://www.brother.com.au/en/support/DCP-L3510CDW/downloads? For Ubuntu you will need the DEB version of the package, and you want to be using the "Driver Install Tool", current version is 2.2.4-1. Unpack the .gz file, and run the script using sudo,...

I have done some primitive work there, but I was working with about a dozen posts from the same user so the fine details are missing

@karel This one for example: askubuntu.com/a/1541351/57576

The posts have my hands all over them so I am actually quite keen for the community to edit as required so the posts reflect community sentiment rather just my own input.

Feb 15 06:33

@mpboden I have sorted the rollback wars and also unlocked the locked posts. So currently all the posts are available for general editing, flagging etc as posts are normally...

andrew.46

Feb 15 06:09

@mpboden I have finished what I can do there so feel free to edit etc as usual.

andrew.46

Feb 13 21:06

Mostly as I suspect that edits will not be received with any degree of happiness by the OP...

andrew.46

Feb 13 21:01

@mpboden I will take it upon myself to look through this users answers and do the needful. It will be later today my time though.

andrew.46

Feb 13 20:43

@BeastOfCaerbannog Oops, thanks for catching that. I accidentally selected the wrong locking reason.

@stumblebee I have helped out a little there by closing the question. Also locked for a week after the small editing battle 🙂.

@BeastOfCaerbannog Well, AU has not volunteered, so our involvement is minimal at the moment.

@stumblebee, @BeastOfCaerbannog, @ArturMeinild, @karel Could I get some skilled eyes on this one? I realise that yours is the closing vote Karel but I am sure you have something to add there:

@vidarlo Thanks, I hope the OP will be happy with this and the issue is then closed. I removed the preachy bit about the COC just in case this pours oil onto the fires :)

Mind you I have interceded on the comments and user here: askubuntu.com/a/1538468/57576

andrew.46

Jan 18 01:59

@vidarlo That Meta post is not a great reflection on almost everyone involved. I see 2 elected Mods already + 2 previously elected Mods all involved with no great resolution. I am a little wary of adding my 5 cents worth when Mods are already flailing around :(

andrew.46

Jan 18 01:56

@vidarlo I will put it on the long list of things I will look at one day :)
