# 01:14 KevinMarks Could you use <details><summary> for marginalia? Seems semantically right
mdik joined the channel
# 01:19 KartikPrabhu KevinMarks: I am avoiding changing the markup that already exists in the page.
# 01:19 KartikPrabhu the problem is not about semantics but the fact that in HTML some elements are not allowed inside others

# 03:47 GWG kylewm: Tantek has an invite thing?
# 03:48 kylewm GWG: yeah the thing where he invites everyone in san francisco to HWC
# 03:48 GWG kylewm: Can he invite everyone in NYC too?

# 04:57 ben_thatmustbeme KartikPrabhu: can you possibly just use only spans and classes to make the same appearance as an ol? I would certainly recommend against changing existing markup as that can break styling.

# 04:59 KartikPrabhu ben_thatmustbeme: marginalia.js does not change the existing markup on the page. So i don't want to force it to use span

# 05:02 KartikPrabhu yes but the existing page could use something that is not ol and everything breaks
# 05:03 KartikPrabhu i could tailer marginalia.js for my own site markup but that seems fragile
# 05:03 Loqi KartikPrabhu meant to say: i could tailor marginalia.js for my own site markup but that seems fragile
ScruffyDan joined the channel
# 05:04 KartikPrabhu I mean. I currently use <ol> for a list of responses. But if I make marginalia.js use that specific markup to hack around the display issues, the whole thing breaks if I decide tomorrow that my list of responses should be a div or something
# 05:05 KartikPrabhu I don't want marginalia.js to touch any of the existing markup on the page; it should only move responses around
# 05:06 KartikPrabhu ben_thatmustbeme: no worries. I have been thinking of this for the whole weekend and can't see how to do it

# 07:45 tantek aaronpk: you asked recently about whether to add a feature (new post type) or work on fixing code
# 07:46 tantek aaronpk: I think that's worth adding as an FAQ as I believe I have seen others ask similar questions before, e.g. GWG

# 14:39 aaronpk the question is whether the delete action should be a post itself
# 14:42 aaronpk it becomes a problem of syncing two separate systems essentially
# 14:42 snarfed by the same logic, we'd make new edit posts for every revision
# 14:43 tantek by the existing logic of sometimes /edit posts do make sense, perhaps explicit /delete posts could make sense to delete stuff on other servers?
# 14:43 aaronpk it works okay until trying to propagate the delete to Alexa's subscribers
# 14:44 ben_thatmustbeme posts aren't activities. if we want to start doing that i would say keep them seperate
# 14:45 tantek "should" doesn't matter here per se - there's plenty of prior art, including from silos
# 14:45 aaronpk the actual problem and the reason this came up is because of syncing the data to other servers
# 14:45 Loqi ben_thatmustbeme meant to say: other than "updated their profile"
# 14:46 tantek two most obvious ones are edits to wikis, and pull requests
# 14:46 aaronpk it's a similar problem to notifying subscribers of a "like" of an old URL that is no longer on the front page
# 14:46 tantek there are existing permalinks to "edit" posts on various platforms / sites
# 14:47 aaronpk stop arguing about edits and pay attention to me :P
# 14:47 tantek ben_thatmustbeme: we're documenting existing public behaviors
# 14:47 ben_thatmustbeme aaronpk: i can't really hear much in the room... audio cuts in and out... slow office network sadly
# 14:48 aaronpk ben_thatmustbeme: it's just idle chatter which is why i'm on IRC now
# 14:48 snarfed "sometimes" for edit and delete posts makes sense to me to
# 14:48 snarfed for the given example of one person proposing them to someone else
# 14:49 aaronpk yes it's a problem of syncing, regardless of how anyone feels it should work
# 14:49 aaronpk this became clear to me after writing out these stories step by step and trying to describe how it works to the room

# 15:53 bret I'll also look into hosting at UA for when aaronpk and dietrich are out of town/busy
# 15:56 tantek bret - can you edit the HWC event wiki page for this week accordingly?
# 15:59 dietrich bret: aaronpk tantek: i'm out for this and following meetup
# 15:59 tantek lol bret - that doesn't help - you need to put an actual location
# 15:59 tantek so yes - your help is needed if it's going to happen in PDX
# 15:59 tantek bret, you need to pick a location and edit the wiki with that - not the offer of help ;)
# 16:00 Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

# 16:36 aaronpk okay here is a question... related to today's description of the user story
# 16:37 aaronpk Alexa posts a video. Charles comments on the video. Denise likes Charles' comment.
# 16:37 aaronpk in order for Alexa's followers to see Denise's "like" of Charles' comment, Alexa needs to publish that like in the feed that her followers are subscriebd to
fourtonfish joined the channel
# 16:39 aaronpk should Alexa publish an h-cite of Denise's "like" on her home page?
# 16:39 tantek I don't think Alexa's followers see that like by default in any stream or notification or activity UI
# 16:39 aaronpk they don't see it in a notification or stream view, but they do on the post
# 16:40 aaronpk actually I think the user story doesn't specify that Alexa's followers see the like
# 16:41 tantek hmm - then best not to worry about a theoretical
# 16:42 aaronpk it's only kinda theoretical, because current silo UIs support it
# 16:43 aaronpk ben_thatmustbeme: PuSH would solve that as long as the post is on the home page, but if it's an older post and scrolled off the page, it wouldn't show up
interactivist joined the channel
# 16:44 ben_thatmustbeme doesn't seem much of a problem with old posts getting outdated. so long as they are occasionally polled likely when viewed and a post is too old (intentionally vague here)
# 16:45 aaronpk it was me being overly ambitious when trying to solve this user story
j12t joined the channel
# 16:53 Loqi slack/snarfed: one alternative would be to have response posts propagate webmentions upstream. ie when Charles gets Denise's like wm, his server sends a corresponding wm to Alexa's backfed copy of his comment
# 16:54 Loqi slack/snarfed: a bit contorted, and might need to relax the current wm backlink reqts, but it could work
# 16:57 aaronpk the problem is how does that like at the edge of the network get propagated back down to alexa's other followers
# 16:58 Loqi slack/snarfed: ah. i guess I'm all for it getting updated on the copy of the comment that they see on her post, eg in a reader, but showing it to them as a top-level entry seems like overkill
# 16:59 aaronpk yes! i'm absolutely not suggesting showing it as a top-level entry
# 16:59 aaronpk but the data needs to get to other people *somehow*
# 16:59 aaronpk and that's what's missing right now, we don't have a good mechanism for that
# 17:00 Loqi slack/snarfed: hmm maybe. still not entirely convinced something's needed beyond what we already have
# 17:00 Loqi slack/snarfed: but i haven't read the user stories, so i should shut up
# 17:01 aaronpk i tried to summarize it just now so you don't have to read it
# 17:01 Loqi slack/snarfed: if alexa's followers can already see it on the comment, and they wouldn't see it top level, how else would they see it?
# 17:02 aaronpk right now I wouldn't see Denise's "like" post unless I go visit the original post on Alexa's site
# 17:03 aaronpk (i'm also jumping one step ahead and assuming my reader is displaying comments on peoples' posts the way twitter/facebook do)
# 17:03 Loqi slack/snarfed: so we have the notification protocol but just not the markup for inline likes on comments?
# 17:03 Loqi slack/snarfed: hrm i thought that was what i proposed
tantek joined the channel
# 17:04 aaronpk you got Denise's like back up to Alexa's copy a different way than I described
# 17:04 aaronpk but how does that get back down to Alexa's followers who don't follow Denise?
# 17:05 Loqi slack/snarfed: what do you mean by "down to Alexa's followers?"
fkooman joined the channel
# 17:05 aaronpk where the reader might be a separate app or might be built in to my site
# 17:06 tantek I don't think that's in any currently implemented user scenario
# 17:06 Loqi slack/snarfed: the reader would get it on next poll? and it could also trigger PuSH?
# 17:06 Loqi slack/snarfed: sorry i feel like I'm hurting more than helping here
# 17:06 aaronpk snarfed: yes as long as the post is still on alexa's home page
# 17:06 tantek nor even desirable (re: too much noise in feeds / streams)
# 17:06 tantek better to start with interactions from existing UIs
# 17:07 aaronpk tantek: i don't want to see it in a feed/stream. i'm trying to replicate the functionality that twitter and facebook provide
# 17:07 Loqi slack/snarfed: Tantek: agreed, we're not proposing it's shown top level
# 17:07 Loqi slack/snarfed: just on the comment on the post
# 17:08 tantek such interactions don't trickle "down to Alexa's followers", they only show on notifications of people that have interacted with that post previously, e.g. commented on it
# 17:09 tantek hence I think we need to start with capturing a screenshot to the wiki
