Landing-Page Proofreading #12

Open RandomDSdevel opened 7 years ago

RandomDSdevel commented 7 years ago

@dshadowwolf: You've got a typo in this repository's description (displayed as a subtitle on its main code-browsing page.) Could you set up Probot's Settings app/daemon (né Configurer) for this Repository so I could submit a PR modifying the resulting .github/config.yml to fix it for you?

dshadowwolf commented 7 years ago

Or I could just go and add you to the ACL for the repo 😛

RandomDSdevel commented 7 years ago

@dshadowwolf: Well, yes, you could do that, but do you really think I deserve such an honor at this point in time? I mean, I'm barely just starting to actually learning to put what little I know about one programming language in particular into practice by going through/over a textbook on it again, but this time actually doing the exercises in it. If that's enough for you, then I might consider accepting your invitation, but the prospect is, still, somewhat daunting at this point in my (still mostly informal) education.

@dshadowwolf: Or do you think I'm just being silly by balking like this?

dshadowwolf commented 7 years ago

I'm offering you full access and all that entails so you can do what you'd like and you're balking at it. I have to admire the humility, but at this point I've talked with you enough to have some trust and think you're ready for a bit more responsibility.

After all, when I flip this to a community/github org, I'm thinking of naming you my second or third :)

RandomDSdevel commented 7 years ago

Whoa/wow, thanks! I don't know if I deserve that high of a rank since I'll probably be doing other stuff in the near future, but cool! Guess I'll go ahead and click that button, then! (Wanders off to do so…)

RandomDSdevel commented 7 years ago

Huh, push access doesn't let me edit the repository description (which is why I suggested adding a .github/config.yml, so I could push changes to it, though that doesn't have to happen if you're not comfortable with it.) To wit, the text in question currently reads 'Ideas for a modern cross-paradigm programming language' (sic,) but there should be an 'e' on the end of that (and a period and two spaces if you intend for it to look like a full sentence even though it isn't one.) I'll go ahead and fix it on my fork — speaking of said fork, should I keep it around even though I now have push access (y'know, for the niceties of the protocol recommended in the form of the GitHub flow…)

dshadowwolf commented 7 years ago

heh, funny, never noticed that

Fixed :)

RandomDSdevel commented 7 years ago

Cool, and I've updated my fork's description to match.

RandomDSdevel commented 7 years ago

…except that, having push access, now I can edit your issue comments as if GitHub thinks I'm you to some extent, too, strange as that is. Darn it, I've come across this problem before…; ah, well, it's not like I'm that nefarious, right? 😉 (JK about the wink.)

@dshadowwolf: Closing #11 should resolve this last peculiarity here, I think?

RandomDSdevel commented 6 years ago

@dshadowwolf: On a note more related to this issue's original focus, you messed up the Markdown header syntax on your README with a recent commit. Should I open a new issue for that?
