@Caleb The site is getting a lot of questions, but it seems that a lot of the regulars aren't as active anymore answering questions. That is what I mostly meant by activity being down.

@Caleb DA chat is even more dead than the Meta. I think participation in general is down on the site, hence less voting. My time on the site has been limited pretty much to moderation, and quick reads of questions. The quality of questions has also gone down.

@JanakaRRajapaksha This room is pretty quiet. Most people use IRC for immediate needs that can be handled with chat.

@Letharion A user submitted an issue on my mobile_detect module, drupal.org/node/2297045 The root cause is that page manager doesn't support grouping that way he needs. I have a workaround.

@letharion Is there a way to do and/or grouping in page manager selection rules, similar to the and/or groups in views filters?

@DanielMiladinovich Yeah, any time you have problems with dates, the first thing to check is whether they are related to timezones. I hate working with dates.

@Letharion Makes sense. Thanks.

@Letharion I think I need to work on my git skills. Didn't know you could do that. We are still an SVN shop, so git is really a non-work thing for me.

Having branches for each issue, and having them in the repo at DO does have some merit for working out bugs for things that aren't covered by tests.

@Letharion Hmmm, I guess it doesn't mess up the packager script then. I think my other thing to think about is that I don't really want to commit non-working things when I go between machines. Maybe I will just dropbox everything.

@Letharion Do you know of any bigger projects that have this? I wasn't sure if extra branches messed up the packaging scripts.

Two remotes, drupal.org that only gets pushes from the master branches and tags, and then another at github that gets pushes with everything?

OK, topic for chat. I have a module on drupal.org. I also have two machines that I do development on. What do people do to keep repos in sync with each other, including test branches, but to not pollute the drupal.org repo with those branches?

Not sure if anyone noticed, but profiles on DO now officially have a field for populating your Drupal Answers profile.

@Letharion My count is fairly reasonable, but I may have skipped a bunch.

@Letharion They all work the same. The AU site just has more rooms active right now, mostly user-created rooms. We get user rooms periodically (I think mainly from comments converted to chats), but they get deleted after X days of inactivity.

I did have a very weird problem several weeks ago with bad requests from Amazon AWS with making image style derivatives, but I think those were 400 errors.

@Letharion I don't do a lot of direct work with reverse proxies. Once of my clients does, and they use https, but I think it is one of the enterprise grade Cisco load balancers.

Every time I have an https issue, it is because there is one asset that somehow slipped through as plain http

@Letharion I am working on a site now that has a custom search over a whole lot of fields. URLs can get up to 200-300 characters.

@Letharion I'll try to hand around a little more.

@Mołot I don' think we really have a critical mass to keep chat going here.

@Eez The official statement is that Drupal 8 will be released when it is ready. Beta will be coming soon.

@stelioschar Is that your question? If so, you should flag for migration here. You will get more exposure.

Anybody know that last version of drush that worked with PHP 5.1? I have some maint work to do on an old server that doesn't have drush.

@AjitS When they do code deploys, this happens for a few minutes.

Any PhpStorm users here? I installed the 7.1 update yesterday, and lost a whole bunch of deployment settings, and had to disable/enable Drupal support to get it to pick up my installation. Not sure if this was just me or a general problem.

@Letharion I'm trying to get back into Haskell development after a 10 year break, and am having a really hard time...

@Letharion @Mołot The PHP version discussions for Drupal 6 (and friends) are in the mega thread where everyone was fighting about the min version for Drupal 8.

This is the slidedeck. This may not be the exact one I used, but it was one of the final revisions: slideshare.net/nightkitcheninteractive/what-is-drupal-answers

@Letharion It was a beginner's level presentation just to raise awareness about Drupal Answers. My boss wanted me to do a presentation, but I had trouble coming up with a decent topic that others could relate to, and not violate any confidentiality agreements with clients. A DA presentation geared to wards beginners was pretty easy.

@Clive @Letharion I did a session on Drupal Answers for the Philadelphia Drupal Camp. Prety easy to put together if you need an idea.

@KaushikTD This is more for talking about Drupal and discussing problems that aren't a good fit for the main site's Q&A format. No need to post links to questions here.

@Mołot ^^^

Lot of comments on this answer which will likely not help out future users. I am moving the to chat.
