Here are the logs from the May 04 WordPress Meetup in the IRC channel. Feel free to edit out irrelevent stuff

May 04 15:55:17 photomatt I've got a mini-agenda
May 04 15:55:20 photomatt to kick things off
May 04 15:55:21 chrisjdavis whoo hoo!
May 04 15:55:29 jonabad agendas! this is serious
May 04 15:55:45 photomatt whether the channel can stay on-topic for an hour remains to be seen
May 04 15:55:52 chrisjdavis heh
May 04 15:55:55 rboren Let the Dark Cabal come to order.
May 04 15:55:58 chrisjdavis yeah I have to see that one
May 04 15:56:09 * _nickname (~ignis@ti400720a080-14498.bb.online.no) has joined #wordpress
May 04 15:56:14 photomatt rboren: don't we still have seven minutes left?
May 04 15:56:14 FrankieShakes guys, if I've given write access to .htaccess, where in WP does it automatically modify the file? In v1.2 the .htaccess file would appear directly under the area where you set the permalink structure. Where in 1.5 does it show up?
May 04 15:56:33 photomatt FrankieShakes: it automatically writes it if it can
May 04 15:56:42 photomatt FrankieShakes: so you don't need to copy/paste anything
May 04 15:56:43 chrisjdavis FrankieShakes: it should be in $siteroot
May 04 15:56:50 chrisjdavis where ever that is
May 04 15:57:02 FrankieShakes photomatt: hmm... okay, cause I've given .htaccess write access, but it doesn't seem to be updating
May 04 15:57:06 masquerade when you visit the options->permalinks page and hit update it will definitely try to write them, and I believe it tells you if it doesn't
May 04 15:57:41 chrisjdavis hmmm
May 04 15:57:41 * skippy looks around shiftily.
May 04 15:57:45 chrisjdavis going home
May 04 15:57:49 ColdForged cya!@
May 04 15:57:51 chrisjdavis I might be back on
May 04 15:57:54 skippy be well chrisjdavis
May 04 15:57:57 chrisjdavis no promises
May 04 15:58:01 chrisjdavis skippy: I will try
May 04 15:58:02 * chrisjdavis has quit (Remote closed the connection)
May 04 15:58:44 skippy I could use a cool adult beverage.
May 04 15:58:49 * skippy looks around.
May 04 15:58:51 skeltoac oh, ditto.
May 04 15:58:51 skippy Damn.
May 04 15:59:01 skippy not a Guinness in sight.
May 04 15:59:10 FrankieShakes okay... I think it's writing now!
May 04 15:59:35 photomatt FrankieShakes: excellent
May 04 15:59:35 skippy photomatt: throw the agenda onto codex so we can all peek, and annotate as necessary
May 04 15:59:47 photomatt good idea
May 04 15:59:48 skippy collaboration++
May 04 15:59:55 ColdForged ohhh
May 04 16:00:01 FrankieShakes photomatt: I shouldn't need to restart apache after the change, right?
May 04 16:00:08 ColdForged no Frankie
May 04 16:00:24 FrankieShakes hmm... not working
May 04 16:00:44 skippy anything in your error log, FrankieShakes ?
May 04 16:00:45 * Firenze has quit (Nick collision from services.)
May 04 16:00:51 * _nickname is now known as Firenze
May 04 16:00:51 FrankieShakes I'm running PHP5... and when I load the php_info page, under "loaded modules" it shows mod_rewrite
May 04 16:01:02 FrankieShakes skippy: checking...
May 04 16:02:13 skippy photomatt: the column header "freshness" in the support forums is misleading. The bottom post isn't "2 hours fresh"...
May 04 16:02:40 masquerade skippy, it was fresh two hours ago
May 04 16:03:07 skippy yes, but we don't say it's got a freshness of two hours.
