# 00:29 prtksxna GWG: The map looks nice. You could also consider using MapBox or Stamen tiles.

# 00:33 GWG prtksxna: I was trying to find something that was pulling from OSM because I didn't want to get into API keys and such
# 00:34 prtksxna GWG: For stamen you'll just have to change the URL for the tiles. No API keys involved.
# 00:34 GWG I didn't write the map generation code, but I might do that.
# 00:38 GWG I want to get it stable, then I may enhance the presentation. It isn't usable at allyet.
# 00:45 GWG prtksxna: Any thoughts on location aware WordPress while you are here?
# 00:45 prtksxna GWG: Location aware Wordpress? I am not familiar with what that is.
# 00:45 GWG prtksxna: WordPress doesn't have location built in by default
# 00:46 GWG prtksxna: I'm working on a plugin
# 00:46 prtksxna It sort of does. I mean they have a dedicated column for it. The mobile app even uses it.
j12t joined the channel
# 00:47 GWG prtksxna: They have a geodata format. Not built in support
# 00:47 prtksxna Not a dedicated column…the normal meta data column I think
# 00:47 GWG I use their geodata keys in meta data
# 00:48 GWG prtksxna: I'm working on the full package.
# 00:49 prtksxna GWG: I am still tied to the approach of any post type (eg. check-in, photo etc) as a reply. I remember we disagreed on this the last time we spoke.
# 00:53 GWG prtksxna: I'm writing the location awareness as a standalone piece. I am writing check-in functionality separately.
# 00:53 GWG So, check-in would have location as a dependency, but not vice-versa.
# 00:54 prtksxna Yup, that sounds like a good idea. Letting people choose which pieces they want :)
# 00:55 GWG prtksxna: So, the Location plugin is just adding location to posts and pages...and optionally other post types.
marclaporte joined the channel
# 00:57 GWG prtksxna: It would optionally affect the view in one of two ways
# 00:57 GWG 1. It would optionally add the location to the single page view, either as a map or text line. A note with location is different than a check-in.
# 00:58 GWG 2. It would cede that control to the theme, if the theme declared support for it

# 01:32 acegiak I think that's a common thread for people on here in general
marclaporte joined the channel
# 01:36 GWG He mentioned that there were too many post kinds
# 01:37 GWG So, I made a default list and a setting to add more. I need to tweak it a bit, but...
# 01:38 GWG acegiak: I figured you might update and say, "Where's my kind?"
# 01:39 acegiak I feel like it's weird to be making that decision if it's not a problem we're having ourselves
# 01:40 GWG acegiak: I actually want to write a better settings page for it where you can select which ones you want in the picker.
# 01:41 GWG I'm going back to it after I finish what I'm working on.

# 12:51 aaronpk kind of goes against the whole visible data first thing
# 12:52 aaronpk i have rel="alternate" type="application/json" with a link to a microformats-parsed JSON document
scor joined the channel
# 12:52 aaronpk it's at the top of any of my pages. really all it does is just write a link to the pin13 microformats parser, but it could just as well hve been a document generated by my site
# 12:55 Garbee Yea, visible by default is one problem. Since this is a whole extra request and you need to know to make the call.
# 12:56 aaronpk i added the link tag to make a point, that you can get a JSON version of my pages very easily

# 14:13 ben_thatmustbeme well its the same, posted a photo with a person tag, or posting a tag of someone else's photo
# 14:14 aaronpk do we have a microformats2 example of photo tagging with xy coords?
# 14:15 aaronpk i thought i rememered some discussion of how the microformats parsers should handle an <area> tag
# 14:16 ben_thatmustbeme I was going to get that working but wanted to post first through micropub rather than messing around directly in the DB
# 14:16 aaronpk i mean what should the parsed result of <area shape="circle" coords="124,58,8"... be?
Acidnerd joined the channel
# 14:19 aaronpk i think it will be hard to make a sensible micropub request unless we have a good microformats representation of that kind of tag

# 14:59 Loqi slack/tantek: Ben, last we chatted about this I think I left you with some questions.
# 14:59 Loqi slack/tantek: Also this is specifically about area-tags, not tags or person-tags in general.
zachdonovan joined the channel
# 15:02 ben_thatmustbeme tantek, yes, it is about area-tags specifically, but there is no reason to post area tags through micropub yet other than person-tagging
wolftune joined the channel
# 15:08 Loqi slack/tantek: The idea was to model what Flickr allows which is to tag an area (rect) of a photo with just a note too.
# 15:09 Loqi slack/tantek: It's a key part of owning your flickr export on your own site without dataloss.
# 15:10 Loqi slack/tantek: Plus even FB allows you to "tag" an area (square) of a photo with text that does not match a person's name, and doesn't link to anything.
# 15:16 Loqi slack/tantek: It's not even primarily person-tagging
# 15:16 Loqi slack/tantek: You can person-tag without specifying an area
# 15:16 Loqi slack/tantek: Eg what kevinmarks already does in his noterlive summary posts.
# 15:17 Loqi slack/tantek: (Except we just changed the recommended markup)
# 15:17 ben_thatmustbeme actually, i have issue with that as well, as you should be providing both text and url in one property
# 15:18 Loqi slack/tantek: I can see how that could be a problem.
# 15:18 ben_thatmustbeme which there is no mechanism for in micropub's common markup, you could provide only the url as u-category=<url> but if they don't have an h-card on their site, you don't get the name
# 15:19 Loqi slack/tantek: In that case if their site lacks an h-card you may have to make a proxy h-card for them on your own site and then send that URL to micropub.
# 15:20 Loqi slack/tantek: It's part of the same structure as a nicknames cache
# 15:22 Loqi slack/tantek: Though public h-card proxies for people should likely be very minimal like maybe only name and site URL (as uid), and maybe twitter handle/URL if that's something of theirs that you reference.
# 15:22 Loqi slack/tantek: In fact you must do that to person tag someone who has a twitter but no personal site.
# 15:23 Loqi slack/tantek: Generic text tagging is easier because it just uses the existing comment mechanism but with u-tag-of instead of u-in-reply-to
# 15:24 Loqi slack/tantek: Aside: for such local h-card proxies you probably need a decent URL structure for them
# 15:24 ben_thatmustbeme except i thought the u-tag-of implies the set category is the tag, and content is fallback
# 15:25 ben_thatmustbeme actually, no, u-tag-of is the post you are tagging them in, not the url you are tagging
danlyke joined the channel
# 15:27 Loqi slack/tantek: I'm not sure what you mean by "with link"
# 15:27 ben_thatmustbeme u-tag-of=aaronpk.com/somephoto, u-category[url]=tantek.com u-category[text]="this guy is a genius" p-content="Ben Roberts tagged Tantek in a photo as "This guy is a genius"
# 15:28 Loqi slack/tantek: That looks like a mix of a comment and a tag in one post which is not reflective of user behavior.
danlyke joined the channel
# 15:30 Loqi slack/tantek: Look at existing UIs for tagging things. They let you do one tag at a time.
# 15:31 Loqi slack/tantek: When you're tagging other people's stuff.
# 15:31 Loqi slack/tantek: And each one of those can be individually deleted by the recipient (or queued for moderation and selectively approved)
j12t joined the channel
# 15:32 Loqi slack/tantek: This kind of limitation AKA simpler design is very much driven by UI, user-interaction-flow.
# 15:32 Loqi slack/tantek: In fact, *desired* UX flow.
# 15:33 ben_thatmustbeme okay, so I can post a u-category= and then IF the url has an h-card i'm done, if it doesn't my site creates an h-card with data i know of them (name, url, twitter handle) and tags that way
# 15:38 Loqi slack/tantek: Yeah hence my questions from a few days ago about that
friedcell joined the channel
# 15:38 Loqi slack/tantek: About the challenge of the parsed microformats JSON representation vs micropub capabilities.
# 15:44 Loqi slack/tantek: Ben - it was when we last chatted about this (area) sometime in the past several days.
# 15:45 ben_thatmustbeme actually the micropub url-encode standard thust far has been to post with category=<sometext> that would need to change too,
# 15:45 Loqi ben_thatmustbeme meant to say: actually the micropub url-encode standard thust far has been to post with category=<sometext> that would need to change first,
# 15:46 Loqi slack/tantek: Hmm yes I failed to state it as a question.
# 15:47 Loqi slack/tantek: URL is just a subset of "some text"
# 15:47 Loqi slack/tantek: But this does question the area/shape/coords additions to microformats2 parsing.
# 15:48 Loqi slack/tantek: Only absolute http(s):// urls at that. Discussed that with kylewm in the past few days also.
# 15:49 Loqi slack/tantek: What is NorthCreekSoft?
# 15:50 Loqi slack/tantek: (We may have to redesign how area tags work, from markup to parsed microformats output to what gets sent to micropub.)
# 15:50 Loqi slack/tantek: Remembering of course that it's most important to keep the markup as simple/meaningful as possible for publishers.
# 15:51 Loqi slack/tantek: Better to break things sooner than later ;)
