[http://twitter.com/BarnabyWalters] Here I lay out the structure (technical and philosophical) of my #indieweb site as well as a roadmap for the future. http://t.co/Z0gh1ZBN
#
barnabywalters
you're getting slower Loqi, that was a minute at least
#
Loqi
who, me?
#
barnabywalters
I'll be timing you next time :)

[http://twitter.com/BarnabyWalters] @boagworld I'm working on an #indieweb variant which allows people to respond to my content across the web. The tech exists, just not used.

aaronpk
nice writeup!
#
aaronpk
you should take a look at http://social-igniter.com/
#
Loqi
I agree
#
aaronpk
it's based on codeigniter, brennannovak is building it and has used it for several projects now

aaronpk
he has a lot of basic social integration stuff done
#
aaronpk
it's designed to be a starting point for building a site, it handles basic feeds and content types and logging in from various services
#
aaronpk
i don't think he's done much in the way of marking up the output format in microformats or doing the "b"/"t" content type things, so that's something you could build into it
#
aaronpk
might be a good starting point for your thing tho given that you're already familiar with codeigniter

tantek: aaronpk left you a message on 3/25 at 10:42pm: I started working on a RelMeAuth implementation! https://github.com/aaronpk/RelMeAuth Going to integrate that into the indiewebcamp wiki soon!
#
tantek
aaronpk - sweet! that's awesome.
#
tantek
why Ruby? isn't the indiewebcamp wiki MediaWiki and thus PHP?
#
aaronpk
yeah, I'm actually setting it up so it can be used from any website
#
aaronpk
without tying into source code
#
tantek
oh as a service - interesting
#
tantek
hey paulbooker - you're here! re: http://social.mozilla.org.uk/notice/443 - I use delegated OpenID on tantek.com and the indiewebcamp.com URL you reference is the latest advice AFAIK for setting up your own domain as an OpenID identity provider.
#
paulbooker
tantek: Mr @t :) I kind of overlooked that status.net allow a users profile to serve as an openID URI & you can login into any instance of status.net with a delegated OpenID so I think all my needs are met through status.net at least where I need microblogging too
#
barnabywalters
aaronpk sorry about that! I was away but didn't change my nick
#
aaronpk
no worries, it's IRC!
#
barnabywalters
I have had a brief look at social igniter, whether or not I decide to use it will depend on how well it fits the way I see the structure working
#
aaronpk
cool. I've only poked around with it a little, but I know brennan's pretty interested in the indieweb stuff too so it'd be great if you could put your efforts in the same codebase
#
barnabywalters
well I'll have a look and see if there's anything I've written that can be used there
#
barnabywalters
the thing that I've had the most bother with has been syndication. sure I can push stuff out and get feedback back in, but the hassle of setting up an OAuth interface that I'll only ever use once has put me off everything apart from twitter so far
#
barnabywalters
they're nice and generate permanent access tokens for you
#
barnabywalters
fb require periodic sign ins :(
#
aaronpk
brennan has dealt with a bunch of that already with social igniter, so you at least get the oauth signin stuff for free that way
#
barnabywalters
great, there might be stuff I can pull straight into my codebase. Perhaps a library trade is in the offing.

on a tangent: anyone see Paul Boag's post about social silos? Loqi pulled my reply to it earlier

#
tantek
paulbooker, yes - status.net does a great job of implementing various IndieWeb / FSW protocols & formats
#
paulbooker
I think there will be a significant number of Mozilla UK contributors that will probably not join social.mozilla.or.uk (and similarly for other MCS communties) so it would be great to install an Open ID server, any recommendations?
#
tantek
perhaps on mozillians.org?
#
tantek
would be great to get mozillians.org to be an OpenID provider, and then just signing in there would get you an OpenID, which should be sufficient for Mozilla contributors UK or otherwise.
#
paulbooker
That's a great idea :) Do you know of any OpenID software that could be installed on Mozilla servers? It'll probably have to be something written in python / django *-)
#
tantek
paulbooker - no idea - you'd have to ask the mozillians folks - see irc://irc.mozilla.org/mozillians :)
#
paulbooker
Will do. I'll let you know I get on :)
