barnabywalters
there are actually more hovercards spread around the web than I originally thought
#
barnabywalters
as well as large inconsistencies between different implementations — similar to free context autosuggest.

barnabywalters - why the hierarchy in the names of the new pages? why not just use the names at the root level?
#
tantek
"pattern" is merely a one particular categorization
#
tantek
better to just use a "Category:" instead in the page
#
barnabywalters
tantek: putting them at root level felt like namespace pollution
#
tantek
and keep pages fairly flat - like Wikipedia does
#
tantek
namespace pollution is more of a theoretical problem than actual problem
#
barnabywalters
tantek: alright, alright, I’m just addicted to outlines, okay ;)
#
tantek
in other words - works for Wikipedia
#
tantek
outlines/hierarchies don't work well in collaborative creative environments because everybody has a different sense of how things should be classified / put into a hierarchy
#
tantek
better to just make things flat
#
tantek
and anyone who wants to categorize can add their own categories
#
barnabywalters
okay, as with previous AI mistakes, I’ll correct as I go back to edit
#
tantek
or their own
#
tantek
better to fix sooner than later
#
tantek
don't want to imply that a hierarchical "pattern" exists / is implied / is desired
#
barnabywalters
I have a load more examples to add so it’ll be done sooner or later

Loqi
barnabywalters meant to say: I have a load mrather thane examples to add so it’ll be done sooner rather than later
#
tantek
just go through your Contributions and cmd-click all the "pattern/*" pages into their own tabs
#
tantek
then move them to root names without "pattern/"
#
barnabywalters
I have learnt more about IA working on the IWC wiki than I have on any "real" previous project
#
barnabywalters
tantek: how did the portuguese conference go?

@RefreshLX went great!
#
tantek
lots of interest in microformats2
#
tantek
and plugged indiewebcamp a bit too, in the context of everyone should have their own domain with their contact info :)
#
barnabywalters
so how is microformats + gaia work going? I had a look on the moz wiki but it didn’t look like there was much there
tilgovi joined the channel
#
tantek
barnabywalters - the moz wiki page on microformats for FirefoxOS/Gaia is only an outline
#
tantek
much of the work is being done in particular open source / standards areas
#
tantek
e.g. the microformats2 node.js parser that Glenn Jones is writing
#
tantek
btw I thought this was an interesting IndieWeb piece by Julien: http://blog.superfeedr.com/no-one-owns-open-web/
#
tantek
!tell aaronpk looks like indieauth.com fails with http://gordonbrander.com/ "Internal Server Error" (e.g. when trying to sign-in to the IndieWebCamp wiki)
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
tantek
!tell aaronpk … and he's got a rel-me to a Twitter URL so that should work
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
tantek
looks like something that could be re-adapted for indieweb use instead
#
tantek
that is, a browser plug-in to turn indieweb permashortlinks into in-line content, some of which could be auth-protected.
