#pwccGWG: so I think it's something I'm interested in collaborating on in spite of myself. Might set up a github group & start setting up issues.
#gRegor`I've been pretty good about getting them set up early. Just haven't connected with many interested in Chicago. Well, that have expressed interest AND shown up :)
#tantekgRegor`: sometimes more advance notice helps too
#tantekdo you think a different (closer to other parties) venue would help?
#tantekalso - check with other local web design / UX / dev meetups / groups - they likely have folks who are interested who just don't know a meetup exists.
#gRegor`Don't know. We met for months downtown, which is probably easiest to get to. Our current location is pretty good as far as transportation, too.

#gRegor`Other meetups is a good idea, though I will have to talk with Kartik more to see if he's interested in heading it up after I move in April.
#GWGI think the Indiweb plugin being a helper, rather than merging the plugin work, but we really should have the plugins in the .org repository for adoption
#GWGHmm...how would I get membership in the Indieweb github?
#pwccGWG: y, that works. I'm not a fan of Jetpack but I figure if you can't beat them...
#GWGpwcc: I just asked pfefferle, who manages the plugin, if I can contribute to it. That would mean it can be enhanced and added to. I could also go pull request as well.
#GWGKevinMarks: pfefferle hasn't updated the Indieweb plugin. He's been a bit busy. That is why I wanted to get his permission to become a manager of the plugin
#KevinMarkswhat does jean need to do to make the theme work
#KevinMarksso, the Attitude theme could be updated how?
#GWGKevinMarks: That's why I'm working on a starter theme. So someone more artistic than I...
#GWGKevinMarks: Try installing a plugin called wordpress-uf2
#GWGpfefferle tried his hand at a plugin that would try to add mf2 to any theme
#GWGIt's not perfect, but it is closest thing to upgrading without updating the theme, which usually requires editing the theme files or the developer. Not newbie friendly.
#GWGSo, as much as I feel my work is not ready for primetime, I'm going to have to put Indieweb Post Kinds, which replaced Indieweb Taxonomy, into the WordPress repository.
#paulproteustantek: BTW, I have a request for you (I'm that Asheesh guy; we seem to run into each other periodically) -- OK if I send you a private message?
#paulproteusI'm not! I didn't realize there was something going on today!
#tantekfigure out what "host" to use to login - it's not obvious
#JRussellCORRECTION: #indieweb @NurtureGirl: I have http://thrivable.net htttp://thrivable.org and also http://jeanmrussell.com and am trying to set up indieweb and brid,gy support (twtr.io/v7gp61cRL0)
#millettenotes that php 5.3 is unsupported since august 2014
#benwerd(It actually isn't - the latest version of PHP 5.3 is still supported for a while yet. Just not updated. I made that mistake too.)
#Loqibenwerd: tantek left you a message 9 hours, 15 minutes ago: perhaps you should respond to Anil Dash, letting him know you've built a tool that works. https://twitter.com/anildash/status/555408559450906624 and ask for your millions of dollars ;)
#Loqibenwerd: tantek left you a message 9 hours, 14 minutes ago: nevermind I see you took care of it 20+ minutes ago :)
#milletteHi, I'm new to the channel but not the spirit (I was one of the laconica devs). Wondering if there is interest in this community for CouchDB/PouchDB.
#KevinMarksok, so now we have installed all these plugins, how dow e tell if it's working, GWG
#LoqiKevinMarks meant to say: ok, so now we have installed all these plugins, how do we tell if it's working, GWG

#GWGKevinMarks: Which one? If you want to test webmentions...create a post with a link to another site in the post body, and it will automatically send a webmention
#GWGKevinMarks: If you want to receive, have someone do the same in reverse
#Loqipfefferle: GWG left you a message 12 hours, 40 minutes ago: I'd like to become authorized to contribute to the WordPress Indieweb Plugin.

#GWGI know you've been busy lately, and last night when they had the HWC meeting in San Francisco, a lot of people were having trouble getting started with WordPress and understanding what to do.
#pfefferleGWG it seems that I have to write something to get messages from loqi… good to know :)
#GWGI thought by expanding the plugin, which is a new person's intro to adding support...
#GWGpfefferle: kylewm set me up last night to join the Github group. Was wondering if you wanted help with the pushing to the Wordpress.org repository and keeping that up to date
#pfefferleGWG sure… feel free to contribute/update the plugin…
#pfefferleGWG I will also add you to the wordpress directory
#dariusdunlap.. and I’m going to be making a decision in the next few days myself as to whether to stick with it. (THinking I probably will)
#GWGdariusdunlap: It has prompted me to want to add that info to the wiki in a better way and to the Indieweb plugin
#dariusdunlapI’ll have a look and endeavor to help out as I’m working through the process of rebuilding on a new webhost.
#dariusdunlapIn trying to help people, I realize that I hadn’t really done much with this stuff on my site for a few months and I wasn’t sure about things. Ended up relyin gon the wiki. :-)
#GWGdariusdunlap: Feel free to help rewrite the /WordPress page
#dariusdunlapyes, I will update things and try to make things more clear where I can.
#GWGdariusdunlap: I want to rearrange the page so the instructions for existing WordPress sites are up top, and how to set up a WordPress site if you don't have one moves lower
#dariusdunlapYeah, I was just looking it over and it definitely needs some re-organaing.
#dariusdunlapGWG: I think the “starting up a Wordpress Blog” might even be a separate page.
#ben_thatmustbeme!tell aaronpk continuing brainstorming on MP, what do you think about just one single request to MPEndpoint for all supported features. would return syndicate-to, files[] (for filetypes supported) and perhaps any/all fields it looks for
#GWGAnd not everyone who uses WordPress uses my plugin
#kylewmGWG: I don't know how to write a plugin for wordpress but i'd be happy to collaborate on the micropub logic, i've written it a couple times now
#GWGkylewm: See the above issue I haven't worked out in my mind
#dariusdunlapI’m all about the frazmatazz, but sometimes you’ve got to give a clear explanation of the conenction to the dinklhood that’s (hopefully) helpful to people who don’t already know.
#gRegor`What's a reply status? Something that is in-reply-to?
#kylewmalso I noticed that snarfed's OwnYourCheckins plugin uses the jetpack api (public-api.wordpress.com)... I'm assuming that the micropub plugin can't do that?
#voxpellithat sounds awesome – I wonder what I need to do to enable such stuff in my WebMention endpoint
#pfefferlevoxpelli you can answer a comment via a webmention and the comment on this mention is sent back as webmention and so on
#voxpellipfefferle: do you use a hash for identifying the comment or do the comment has its own URL?
#voxpelliDo you import comments on comments from the commenter themselves
#pfefferlevoxpelli the comment has his own url (to be compatible to all other implementations)
#pfefferlevoxpelli not if they are not sent as webmentions
#voxpelliok, hmm, amazing stuff this, need to think more about it
#dariusdunlaptell kevinmarks: That Bogost piece starts out such that I was thinking, “oh, jeez,, here we go”, but then he wraps it up rather nicely at the end. So now I get that his audience isn’t those who understand computation, but rather the techno-illiterate that fetishize “algorithms” and “Big Data”.
#GWGkylewm: WordPress by default doesn't support some of the things MicroPub hooks into. You'd need a subet
#danlykekylewm, a "what indieweb itch should I scratch next" question: What would make it easier for you to comment on by blog via indieweb protocols than by the login on my site?
#kylewmlike it just increases complexity immensely if the client has to query the endpoint for what it can support and then tailor its user interface based on some subset of fields
#danlyke(I've got other personal projects I'm scratching too, it's just that this is the first "hey, here's a real opportunity!" moment I've had...)
#kylewmfor right now the use-cases can all be handled by just using the client that supports the thing you want to do :)
#Loqiaaronpk: ben_thatmustbeme left you a message 1 hour, 27 minutes ago: continuing brainstorming on MP, what do you think about just one single request to MPEndpoint for all supported features. would return syndicate-to, files[] (for filetypes supported) and perhaps any/all fields it looks for
#kylewmdanlyke: hmm, can I comment on your blog via indieweb protocols already?
#danlykekylewm I think so... We did that test, and if I'm not dealing with webmentions right then I should fix it. I have the indie-action tag in place, and the <link rel="webmention"...> in the header...
#kylewmdanlyke: then i'll start doing that! i don't think you need to change anything
#danlykeAnd I don't mention this in a "you should", I mention this as a "how can I make it more convenient for us to eat our own dogfood". Because, as tantek keeps harping on, we need to make it as easy or easier...
#danlykeAnd meanwhile, I need to get my client code going.
#tantekthe "make replying easier" use-case / user-scenario we (benwerd, myself, aaronpk, bret) identified as a key problem to solve for the indieweb back at the 2013 Social Web Workshop!
#tantek"Inserting the identifiers requires the telecom carrier to modify the information that flows out of a user's phone. AT&T's patent acknowledges that it would be impossible to insert the identifier into web traffic if it were encrypted using HTTPS, but offers an easy solution – to instruct web servers to force phones to use an unencrypted connection."
#tantek***to instruct web servers to force phones to use an unencrypted connection***
#tantekre: Comcast JS injection: "One way to prevent this from happening, he said, is for websites to encrypt and serve over HTTPS. But many sites do not do that."
#LoqiHTTPS is an abbreviation for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, a protocol for secure communication, supported by web servers (like Apache & nginx) and browsers https://indiewebcamp.com/HTTPS
#ben_thatmustbemeWOW, so I checked my settings on myverizon. I long ago said to not share my "CPNI"... it has been that way for some time, but you know what, the X-UIDH is still sent to servers
#tantekben_thatmustbeme: that is what the article describes.
#ben_thatmustbemelovely, i see these things come up so much, that i'm used to glossing over it and just going through to say 'do not track me'
#snarfedkylewm: thanks! not yet, no. haven't been anywhere checkin-worthy in the last few days :P
#tantekben_thatmustbeme: since your site *requires* HTTPS - you should be able to check from your server if it is seeing the X-UIDH header from your phone!
#tantekand *theoretically* your server (by requiring HTTPS) SHOULD NOT see any X-UIDH headers
#danlykekylewm: It looks like I'm looking for the "vouch" param even though I'm not using it. That's the message returned if there isn't a "vouch", "source" and "target" message. And, yes, I should use 4xx codes for this.
#tantekhmm, it looks like to use lunr.js (http://lunrjs.com/) to implement client-side search I have to upgrade my @Falcon storage reading code from PHP to CASSIS.
#tantekgets 3 levels deep in wiki page editing dependencies.
#tantekwho is doing what with "search" on their personal sites?
#danlykeI have an ancient slow search ('WHERE text ILIKE ...;). Need to just tweak a few Postgres parameters and change it to use text indices, which I should probably do.
#tantekben_thatmustbeme: with results on google.com or wrapped on your own site?
#tantekgRegor`: they were over a year ago! My posts used to show up in Google *normal* search results in less than a second after I published them on my site
#rhiaroGWG: I was away most of October, so I missed that. We're getting the tailend of a big storm at the moment though I think. It's pretty damn windy, anyway.

#rhiarobut Edinburgh is so beautiful, even the weather can't cover it up :)
#GWGrhiaro: I don't come to Europe often. IWC seems a good excuse
#danlyketantek, thanks for the kick on search, just updated my code to actually use PostgreSQL's text indexes rather than a linear regex search of all entries...
#JarOfGreenweekends vs week tend to have very diff feels to me. I'd have said weekend was better, attract more of the local/nearby ppl who maybe couldn't get time of work for this kind of thing?
#rhiaroYes, maybe could do a straw poll at next TMU
#kylewmdanlyke: the webmention worked with vouch set; aesthetically my only thought is that my comment kinda feels like it's not part of the conversation/community, sequestered in its own webmention section
#kylewmit would be cool if i could do something to elevate it to the status of "trusted" comment (like e.g. if it correlated the source with my account on flutterby)
#rhiaroI'll look elsewhere too, of course I wouldn't want to impose for too long anyway, but it's nice to know about potential backup plans in case couchsurfing falls through
#rhiaroAnd of course if anyone needs somewhere to stay for IWC Edinburgh, I have plenty of space
#GWGben_thatmustbeme: You want me to come up and meet her in advance?
#rhiaroI have mattress+couch space for 5 people comfortably
