# 00:42 verdi_ tantek: are you going to be using the video system for the meetup tonight?
# 00:43 tantek verdi_: not sure - I don't know what the deal is with portland
# 00:43 tantek usually if we're only one site - we don't bother with dialing in
# 00:44 pwcc GWG: You've got me nibbling on the hook. An indiewebpack, if you like.
# 00:47 aaronpk we have a happy hour meetup thing happening at our office today
# 00:49 tantek how about the 28th? are you able to host / organize that in PDX?
# 00:49 aaronpk yeah 28th is fine! wait let me go double check the office wall calnedar
# 00:49 tantek or maybe do one-time off by one week catch-up meetup on the 21st also?
# 00:50 tantek maybe in coordination with Chicago which also canceled tonight
# 00:51 gRegor` I think KartikPrabhu and I will be ok to wait for the 28th.
# 00:51 tantek cool! maybe you guys can setup the events (indie, FB POSSE copy) for that then
# 00:53 pwcc GWG: 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.
# 00:54 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 :)
# 00:54 gRegor` Second rule off HWC is: show up
# 00:54 tantek gRegor`: sometimes more advance notice helps too
# 00:55 tantek do you think a different (closer to other parties) venue would help?
# 00:55 tantek also - 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.
# 00:56 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.
carlo_au joined the channel
# 00:57 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.
pwcc joined the channel
# 01:05 GWG pwcc: what exactly are you thinking?
# 01:07 pwcc GWG: Essentially the Jetpack.me model to make it one click. Include the existing indieweb-* plugins & work on micropub, etc.
barryf1 joined the channel
# 01:11 GWG pwcc: It was tried with the Indieweb plugin
# 01:12 GWG I 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
# 01:14 GWG Hmm...how would I get membership in the Indieweb github?
# 01:17 GWG !tell pfefferle I'd like to become authorized to contribute to the WordPress Indieweb Plugin.
# 01:17 Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
# 01:19 pwcc GWG: y, that works. I'm not a fan of Jetpack but I figure if you can't beat them...
# 01:20 GWG pwcc: 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.
danlyke and veselosky joined the channel
# 01:32 kylewm GWG I invited you to the indieweb and wordpress group, I hope this is not an abuse of my power!
# 01:33 GWG kylewm: I am sure you won't regret it
mlncn joined the channel
# 01:41 GWG kylewm: I still wouldn't want to change the WordPress plugin without pfefferle giving me his blessing.
# 01:41 GWG Actually, I think he's the only ne
# 01:43 GWG pwcc: So, try out that plugin...tell me what you think should be in it.
KevinMarks joined the channel
# 01:44 pwcc GWG: will do. May end up posting my thoughts as a way to get them down :)
# 01:45 GWG pwcc: You should. I just think we have a plugin...let's make it better, rather than forking.
# 01:46 pwcc GWG: it feels collaborative in here, but let me know if I am breaking any protocols. I'm trying not to step on toes :D
# 01:47 GWG pwcc: That is what this place is for
tantek and KartikPrabhu joined the channel

indie-visitor joined the channel
# 02:11 indie-visitor I had a question in regards to what I currently use and how to make it indiewebable
# 02:12 indie-visitor I currently use TiddlyWiki5 which is a self contained wiki based on JavaScript
# 02:13 RichShumaker Where is the best place to start per se to see different things. I have checked out the sites that use indieweb
# 02:13 RichShumaker I just don't know how they do it
# 02:15 RichShumaker okay thanks.
# 02:16 KartikPrabhu RichShumaker: feel free to ask questions here is something is unclear
# 02:16 RichShumaker Jeremy Ruston from TiddlyWiki mentioned you in a Google Group thread
# 02:16 RichShumaker I am trying to figure out what I need to add to my TiddlyWiki to allow it to be part of the indieweb
# 02:17 RichShumaker sure I can do that now.
# 02:18 RichShumaker I don't have permissions to write anything there
# 02:18 RichShumaker I will give you a link instead
# 02:18 tantek RichShumaker - what is your personal website?
# 02:18 tantek are you able to add rel=me to your links to your Twitter etc. ?
# 02:19 RichShumaker It is funny because TiddlyWiki is not defined in the Empty.HTML version and we have discussed what TiddlyWiki should say
tantek_ joined the channel
# 02:29 kylewm RichShumaker: tiddlywiki is basically a javascript application right?
tantek_ joined the channel
# 02:30 kylewm tantek: bummer that the feedbin guy tried it on sandeep's site that returns Markdown instead of html
# 02:31 tantek does sandeep's site not support h-feed? if so we should remove it from examples
# 02:31 kylewm If you look at the e-content blocks, they contain Markdown rather than html
# 02:31 tantek let's fix the things that are broken, and document accordingly
# 02:32 kylewm I don't think so, just hidden with display:none
# 02:33 tantek GWG - do you know anything about the "Modest" WordPress theme?
# 02:33 tantek where you can put in your social profile URLs for like Twitter, Facebookk, LInkedIn, Pinterest, Google+
# 02:33 RichShumaker Sorry for the delay I was AFK just catching up
# 02:33 tantek GWG, how do we fix the "Modest" WordPress theme to support rel=me?
# 02:34 GWG I just looked it up...assuming it is the same one...it is a paid theme
# 02:35 GWG You'd have to either hack it, or talk to the developer.
# 02:36 tantek what is the etiquette/culture of getting fixes into WordPress themes?
# 02:36 GWG The WordPress theme in the Appearance tab should have the URL confirming who the developer is.
# 02:36 RichShumaker kylewm yes tiddlywiki 5 is a javascript wiki or a node.js wiki
# 02:36 GWG Many themes are paid. I'm not sure if this is the one I found in a google search which costs $69 or a different one.
# 02:37 GWG If they are free, in the WordPress.org theme repository
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
# 02:39 snarfed i think that profile links feature is common to many wp themes, especially ones made by automattic
# 02:39 GWG snarfed: That is why we need the source URL from the install
# 02:39 snarfed looks like you enter them in the admin console at appearance => customize => theme options
# 02:39 GWG tantek: What is the URL of the site it is installed on?
JRussell joined the channel
# 02:42 JRussell in that case, benwerd, I am here
# 02:42 KevinMarks JRussell is Jean, who is wanting to indiewebify her wordpress site
dns53 joined the channel
prtksxna joined the channel
# 02:45 GWG But you can do a rel=me using a WordPress menu
# 02:45 GWG For the other theme, where the links are built into the theme, you'd have to edit it.
# 02:46 GWG Just add a menu in the menu editor, go to Screen Options, add XFN Relationship, put in me, and get the links
# 02:46 GWG JRussell: What support do you want on the site?
# 02:47 RichShumaker have a great day everyone
# 02:48 GWG KevinMarks: Use the Indieweb plugin, which will install the other ones.
# 02:48 kylewm RichShumaker: there's a meetup going on in san francisco, normally we are more responsive to newcomers, apologies!
# 02:48 GWG KevinMarks: Pfefferle doesn't update his plugins in the repository as frequently.
# 02:48 KevinMarks it says it wants to install indieweb-taxonomy, which is on git
# 02:48 tantek GWG, so this is too hard, too non-obvious, too much config, so we're giving up on WP for Lonnie.
# 02:48 GWG tantek: We were talking about that earlier
# 02:48 tantek since there was no simple, here's Modest's repo, here's a way to patch it with a pull request
# 02:48 GWG KevinMarks: Don't install Indieweb Taxonomy.
benwerd joined the channel
# 02:49 KevinMarks that was unclear - the link to install all was not as obvious as the individual links
# 02:49 GWG KevinMarks: 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
# 02:51 GWG KevinMarks: The theme work with what? Most themes aren't microformats 2, they only go to microformats.
# 02:53 GWG KevinMarks: It is the only fully MF2 compliant theme. But I'm working on that
# 02:53 JRussell LOL, thanks Kevin
# 02:54 GWG KevinMarks: That's why I'm working on a starter theme. So someone more artistic than I...
# 02:54 GWG KevinMarks: Try installing a plugin called wordpress-uf2
# 02:54 GWG pfefferle tried his hand at a plugin that would try to add mf2 to any theme
# 02:55 GWG It'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.
# 02:56 kylewm you can get quite far with microformats1 these days, can't you?
# 02:56 kylewm bridgy has pretty decent backcompat support (mostly for wordpress themes)
# 02:57 GWG KevinMarks: The plugins directory
# 02:57 GWG KevinMarks: This is why after the last time someone was confused, I wanted to become a contributor to the plugins that are in the repository.
# 02:58 GWG Unless your plugin is in the WordPress repository, no one wants to use it.
paulproteus joined the channel
# 02:59 paulproteus Hey now everybody now.
# 02:59 GWG So, 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.

# 03:08 tantek added support for multiple accounts on every social network
# 03:09 tantek can syndicate from Known to multiple Twitter, FB, LinkedIn accounts
# 03:09 tantek one ambition that didn't get done is G+ pages because they didn't approve them
# 03:10 tantek e.g. if you setup Bridgy it will include all of those also
# 03:10 tantek Twitter/FB interactions, Instagram photos etc.

# 13:59 GWG I 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.
# 14:00 pfefferle GWG it seems that I have to write something to get messages from loqi… good to know :)
# 14:00 GWG I thought by expanding the plugin, which is a new person's intro to adding support...
# 14:00 GWG pfefferle: Correct on the Loqi front
# 14:02 GWG pfefferle: 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
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
# 14:04 GWG pfefferle: Thanks. I realized last night that the best way to help people is that plugin....It is advertised as the JetPack of Indieweb

# 14:09 GWG pfefferle: I meant...what do you mean?
# 14:10 GWG I assumed you meant my indenting in code, but I'm not sure the context.
# 14:11 GWG Am I doing something wrong in that regard?
# 14:11 GWG I've been indenting code that way since my Pascal days...which may be the problem
# 14:12 pfefferle GWG ”žwrong“ is a hard word… you are sometimes a bit lazy regarding indents
# 14:13 pfefferle GWG but I am very happy that you are willing to contibute… because I am not the best person when it comes to english description ;)
# 14:14 GWG pfefferle: My next step, by the way, is to figure out how to instantly explain to someone who knows nothing how to get started within the plugin
# 14:14 GWG So far, in the last few days, I've had three conversations that go...
# 14:15 GWG "I want to add Indieweb to my WordPress site. What do I do?"
# 14:15 GWG "Well, what do you want to be able to do?"
# 14:16 GWG I think I need to break it into pieces
# 14:16 GWG Webmention support is easy, just add the plugin, check to enable the linkback setting...done
# 14:16 pfefferle GWG yes, thats the main problem… to tell people the exact use of a plugin…

# 14:46 GWG pfefferle: I'm trying to keep with the starter theme idea of underscores. It is meant to be hacked apart and styled.

# 15:35 dariusdunlap By the way, I was at HWC last night and fielded some of the questions about Wordpress.
# 15:36 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)
# 15:36 GWG dariusdunlap: It has prompted me to want to add that info to the wiki in a better way and to the Indieweb plugin
# 15:36 dariusdunlap I’ll have a look and endeavor to help out as I’m working through the process of rebuilding on a new webhost.
# 15:37 dariusdunlap In 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. :-)
# 15:38 dariusdunlap yes, I will update things and try to make things more clear where I can.
# 15:41 GWG dariusdunlap: 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
# 15:47 dariusdunlap Yeah, I was just looking it over and it definitely needs some re-organaing.
# 15:48 dariusdunlap There are lots of nerdy, “and you’ll also want a frazmatazz, so you’ll have to set up the dinklehood” sort of stuff.
# 15:51 dariusdunlap GWG: I think the “starting up a Wordpress Blog” might even be a separate page.
# 15:51 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
# 15:51 Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
# 15:52 dariusdunlap GWG: or at least have sections that are references from an overview right at the top, so that it’s easy to jump to the right info.
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
# 16:09 GWG dariusdunlap: I want as much frazmatazz as I can get
# 16:09 GWG ben_thatmustbeme: No one has even started one
# 16:20 GWG I don't feel I can tackle that one as a 'lead'.
# 16:21 GWG Also, unless you use my Post Kinds plugin, there is no 'reply' status in WordPress
# 16:21 GWG And not everyone who uses WordPress uses my plugin
# 16:21 kylewm GWG: 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
# 16:22 GWG kylewm: See the above issue I haven't worked out in my mind
# 16:22 dariusdunlap I’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.
# 16:24 gRegor` What's a reply status? Something that is in-reply-to?
# 16:25 kylewm also 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?
# 16:38 voxpelli A thought: Have anyone implemented "likes" or such for WebMentions/comments on their sites?
# 16:41 pfefferle voxpelli the semantic linkbacks plugin for wordpress is supporting likes
# 16:41 voxpelli pfefferle: So there can be a WebMention for a WebMention basically? :)
# 16:43 voxpelli that sounds awesome – I wonder what I need to do to enable such stuff in my WebMention endpoint
# 16:43 pfefferle voxpelli you can answer a comment via a webmention and the comment on this mention is sent back as webmention and so on
# 16:44 voxpelli pfefferle: do you use a hash for identifying the comment or do the comment has its own URL?
# 16:44 voxpelli Do you import comments on comments from the commenter themselves
# 16:44 pfefferle voxpelli the comment has his own url (to be compatible to all other implementations)
# 16:46 voxpelli ok, hmm, amazing stuff this, need to think more about it
# 16:47 dariusdunlap tell 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”.
# 16:48 GWG kylewm: WordPress by default doesn't support some of the things MicroPub hooks into. You'd need a subet
# 16:49 GWG in-reply-to, repost-of, syndication...
# 16:49 GWG So, you'd have to ignore those unless they were supported.
# 16:49 GWG So, note posting could be enabled more easily
# 16:51 kylewm sure, that is how micropub works in general... you don't have to support every possible mf2 field to support micropub
# 16:52 GWG kylewm: Does Micropub support alternative authentication methods?

# 17:01 GWG gRegor`: I prefer a custom taxonomy myself
tantek joined the channel
# 17:11 gRegor` But the custom taxonomy doesn't support in-reply-to?
# 17:13 GWG gRegor`: A custom taxonomy has to be registered, like post metadata, which is a custom field.
# 17:13 GWG gRegor`: That's what the plugin I developed does. It adds that
# 17:13 GWG Then it stores the URL in the post meta
# 17:14 GWG So, the relationship is defined as a taxonomy, what it relates to is in the post itself
# 17:14 GWG By making it a taxonomy, you can create archives of likes/replies/etc.
# 17:14 gRegor` The micropub plugin should be able to respond with what the WordPress install supports then
# 17:15 GWG Does Micropub support a request for what an endpoint supports?
# 17:16 kylewm honestly i think that is a perilous road, starting to sound like architecture astronomy
# 17:18 danlyke kylewm, 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?
# 17:19 kylewm like 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
# 17:19 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...)
# 17:19 kylewm for right now the use-cases can all be handled by just using the client that supports the thing you want to do :)
# 17:19 Loqi aaronpk: 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
# 17:20 kylewm danlyke: hmm, can I comment on your blog via indieweb protocols already?
# 17:21 danlyke kylewm 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...
# 17:22 kylewm danlyke: then i'll start doing that! i don't think you need to change anything
# 17:23 danlyke And 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...
# 17:23 danlyke And meanwhile, I need to get my client code going.
# 17:33 tantek danlyke: indeed, making such (cross-site) interactions easier is one of the key challenges for the indieweb as a whole
# 17:33 tantek it's an area where silo UX is still (sometimes much) better
# 17:34 danlyke tantek yep! And this was a particular "hey, here's a very precise use case we can investigate and hopefully solve" example.
# 17:34 tantek I'm very interested to hear how kylewm's attempt to use the <indie-action> buttons on danlyke's site to reply goes.
# 17:35 tantek the "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!
# 17:35 voxpelli danlyke: got a link to the indie-action implementation?

# 18:09 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."
# 18:09 tantek ***to instruct web servers to force phones to use an unencrypted connection***
# 18:14 kylewm whoa, I do use verizon, and confirm that they inserted that header...
# 18:15 GWG "I am not a number! I am a free man!!"
# 18:15 tantek so here's a question, can a page "fight" such injection of JS?

# 18:32 ben_thatmustbeme WOW, 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
# 18:37 tantek ben_thatmustbeme: that is what the article describes.
# 18:38 ben_thatmustbeme lovely, 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'
# 18:38 tantek I wonder if a Verizon mifi sends that header for all requests
# 18:38 tantek or if using a Verizon mifi instead of a Verizon phone is a workaround for this.
# 18:40 aaronpk i'm guessing it sends it as well since it's on the same cell network
# 18:42 snarfed kylewm: thanks! not yet, no. haven't been anywhere checkin-worthy in the last few days :P
# 18:44 tantek ben_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!
# 18:44 tantek and *theoretically* your server (by requiring HTTPS) SHOULD NOT see any X-UIDH headers
# 18:49 ben_thatmustbeme well, i could, because a call to http:// redirects to https, but i could capture it then
# 18:50 aaronpk tantek: my phone is sending the UIDH header when I'm tethered to it

# 19:17 danlyke kylewm: 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.
# 19:18 danlyke errr... if there isn't a "vouch", "source" and "target" field specified in the request parameters.
# 19:18 danlyke I'll untangle myself from my language eventually...
# 19:18 GWG kylewm: I've been thinking about your micropub offer
# 19:25 tantek hmm, 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.
# 19:28 tantek gets 3 levels deep in wiki page editing dependencies.
# 19:29 tantek who is doing what with "search" on their personal sites?
# 19:31 danlyke I 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.
# 19:33 tantek ben_thatmustbeme: with results on google.com or wrapped on your own site?
# 19:34 tantek however Google's index of my site has become *horrible* for posts in the past year
# 19:35 tantek e.g. per yesterday discussion - Google wouldn't show me my notes where I replied to @anildash
# 19:35 tantek no sitemap.xml - but I do use PuSH to notify Google's PuSH server
# 19:36 aaronpk funny, google has my post from yesterday indexed already
# 19:38 aaronpk oddly, using the query parameters to make google show results in reverse date order causes it to not show my post from 2010
# 19:39 aaronpk much more content shows up without the sort order parameters
# 19:41 aaronpk I appear to be in not as bad a state with google as you though
# 19:41 gRegor` tantek: I don't know much about push. Is your push to google documented on the wiki or your site so I can read up?

# 19:55 GWG rhiaro: Sounds fun. Did you book tantek yet?
# 19:56 rhiaro I've got as far as getting committment from a co-organiser
# 19:56 rhiaro Which I felt is enough progress to announce in here :)
# 19:56 tantek gRegor`: 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
# 19:57 GWG I've always wanted to visit Scotland
# 19:57 tantek they never "officially" announced/confirmed that they were showing realtime results in "normal" search
# 19:57 tantek rhiaro: committment from a co-organiser is absolutely necessary first step. next: a venue commitment / sponsorship.

# 20:51 tantek (assuming adactio is up for hosting / co-organizing again)
# 20:51 tantek might as well go straight to cities like the others
# 20:52 rhiaro It would be so much easier if we just had independence
# 20:52 rhiaro I hope so, but I'm not sure how feasible that is
# 20:53 rhiaro I think part of the deal to get it in the first place was not to have another one for at least a decade
# 20:53 tantek makes sense - time to build more support for it til then
# 20:53 rhiaro If there was one next year I think it'd be a yes, after what UK gov't has done in the last few months
