melvstersandeepshetty: most of the w3c membership are companies ... to have a charter you need at lest a *few* of the 600+ companies to show interest, or you'd just get tons of random stuff moved to working groups which normally takes up staff time
melvsterbut most standards bodies have a bias towards deployment ... and big companies have an advantage for deployment because they tend to have bigger budgets
melvsternow open source projects are starting to be able to write their own currencies thanks to projects such as bitcoin, this will give the fire power to get more things deployed
tantekmelvster - re: LDCloud/WebDAV 2.0: How quaint. it's ok, we've got simple HTTP CRUD working via webmention + microformats on the federated indieweb. Should have a dozen or so interop implementations by the time that workshop happens.
melvstertantek: yeah that's great we had a few implementations of semantic pingback working earlier this year too, which I think was one of the partial inspirations for webmention ...
aaronpkyea, I was saying for a long time that we should just use pingback and we could do all this cool comment stuff, and then started implementing it (which is where pingback.me came from), and finally sandeepshetty came along and simplified it to get rid of all the unnecessary xmlrpc crap
tantekmelvster, it's quaint how people keep trying to reinvent HTML but in more complex and enterprisey ways so they can charge lots of consulting $ to "help" other companies deploy them and such.
sandeepshettyI did look at semantic pingback and lots of other stuff, but it was more to simplify pingback (and avoid having to do xmlrpc) than anything else.
melvstersandeepshetty_: I mainly use RDFa so it's mainly just a case of putting the right "rels" in your documents, but some others like to use JSON LD and other turtle
tanteksandeepshetty, note that the authorship algorithm doesn't say anything about "top level" - it works for whatever level the h-card is at inside the rel-author destination
melvstertantek: I also wrote a mini spec on how you can do payments over the web, hence trying to align incentives with value creation ... http://webcredits.org/ ... but I need to add in some of the good ideas from bitcoin and ripple ... lots of things to build!
melvsteraaronpk: it's a lego piece that can be put together into a greater mosaic ... there's other specs that document how you use digital signatures, and im dong one for proof of work, but you can even have a trusted relationship, say with a spouse of family member, in that case you might not need verification
melvsterbret: payswarm is pretty good ... they have a commercial implementation and are working closely with mozilla to get it into the browser ... i think it's pretty good
melvsteri dont believe in imposing any one auth system 'to rule them all' but rather, have building blocks that people can fit together for their use cases
sandeepshetty_tantek: one aspect (I asked barnabywalters about it earlier today) is that with reply-context and stuff like like counts, etc we have child h-cards to h-entry that shouldn't be considered
melvsterone tiny error in his explanation and that is that JSON was not a complete subset of ECMAScript (and hence a standard) ... there are tiny differences, but only someone really pedantic would know that
tantekI have more faith/expectation in aaronpk figuring out how to distribute the working system he has deployed than in something from a spec-first perspective.
melvsterit's much more interesting when individuals or projects create their own money systems ... that happend this year with ripple.com ... they are an open source project less than a year old, but their new currency, the XRP, is worth between 1 and 2 billion USD already ... not bad for a startup in its first year!
sandeepshetty_client follows rel-author_link.. doesn't find u-url == u-uid = rel-author_link or u-url that is also rel-me so it now checks on the post page for an h-card that is (this is part that I'm not clear about)
sandeepshetty_tantek: I think I understand now.. if there is rel-author on the post page, looks for a h-card on the page that also links to rel-author href?
aaronpkmelvster: I've lived inside an alternative currency system for 7 years, so naturally you can see why I'm interested in this and may have one or two opinions about the tech behind it ;)
aaronpkthe "coffee as currency" system tantek referenced is interesting. its somethijg that has actually stuck around a significant amount of time in our group
aaronpkmaybe next year at indiewebcamp we can all self-dogfood alternate currency systems if we're forced into a situation of needing to lend small amounts of money to each other like to buy lunch/dinner/drinks during the event

neuro`I'd go that way too, the word "pingback" has a too long story and spammy / tech debt (plus I don't think the term is acurrate regardin what Web mentions are) even though no one under 30 remember what pingbacks were.
tantektommorris - I actually made an attempt at cleaning up a bunch of the BarCamp article using citations and such a while ago and most of my changes seemed to stick reasonably well. Though I haven't looked at the article in a few months.
tantekone thing that I have no idea what the right way to fix is credit (as in listing and direct linking by name) for the BarCampFounders for creating BarCamp
neuro`After 1 year or so, Barcamps Paris turned into "I'm here to pitch you my cool innovative startup and do my personal branding" events. Or over specialized non conferences (like Xtof Barcamp Bank), which were awesome brainstorming sessions on the future of banks
neuro`The way it turned to is one of the reasons why I'd like to start over with indie Web camp, which is much more focused on hacking and getting things done, and gives less room to "personal branling" (french joke with personal branding and "branlette" which is a word to define masturbation")
erikmaarten"erikmaarten: re: "I figured I'd just write everything on my own, incrementally, because it's a nice feeling to build everything bottom-up" welcome to the club :)" - thanks tantek :)
tantekwe also created an opportunity at BarCampBlock (2007, Palo Alto) for anyone who had a product or startup to pitch to do so at a sponsored happy hour after the first day.
tantekby providing that opportunity, it got most of the sales/marketing folks to do their brief pitch on a projector while everyone else drank at the bar and enjoyed snacks.
neuro`So true. The new hack*.* trend is less likely to attract big idea people because you're forced to produce something, and startup week-end like events are a good mix of business - ideas / tech / design.

@markuslanthalerWebMention, a modern (and minimal) alternative to Pingback http://webmention.org/ Can be used for distributed #indieweb comments, likes etc.
benwerdaaronpk: Tonight I'll build in the concept of notifications to idno, so that when (for example) someone comments on a post it'll ping me in Firefox
benwerdtantek: that's the Firefox Social API with a share extension that automatically detects the kind of content on the page and displays a different form appropriately
benwerdthe way it works is: the share pane determines what kind of indieweb comment / reply is appropriate, then asks installed plugins if they can handle it

neuro`tantek: definitely agree, but all the self hosted feed readers are in PHP, and hosting PHP on my server goes against my religion (even though I'm working - but not for long - for a company that does a PHP based Web app)
neuro`Typo was 1/ a stoopid name for a blogging engine where you should deliver quality content 2/ too much typography related 3/ not searchable 4/ too cose to Typo3, another publishing tool
