# 03:44 rhiaro Okay so I'm seeing mentions in the various bits of webmention docs to x-www-urlencoded and application/x-www-url-form-encoded but wikipedia says the content type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded
# 03:45 rhiaro am I missing something crucial, or is this one of those things that people can just never quite remember?
endi and funwhilelost joined the channel
# 04:40 aaronpk rhiaro: lol yeah that's just weird copy/paste/misremember errors
# 04:43 aaronpk I like how it started out as an x- name and just never changed

# 06:05 tantek aaronpk: re: nofollow - yes we should drop any use of that - it's been very bad for authoring and site posting
# 06:07 aaronpk also I don't think anybody actually publishes their webmention links with rel=nofollow

# 06:29 kylewm snarfed, tantek, that bridgy publish tweet problem is very odd
# 06:30 snarfed eh, not so odd. different wp themes do all sorts of different things with microformats

# 14:56 tommorris "Calypso uses a thin layer of Node.js on the server to build the initial web page, and much of the logic is run in the client as a Single Page Application (SPA) built in-house, leveraging many other open source JavaScript modules."
# 14:57 tommorris web.js seems wholly unnecessary for what is ultimately a fancy text box.

# 15:09 KartikPrabhu js that interacts with a REST API = we built a browser inside a browser
# 15:11 raucao also, they're packaging it for desktop OSs, so looks like electron or sth

# 15:56 petermolnar "but whether the Calypso codebase eventually becomes part of core WordPress and replaces WP-Admin is up to the WordPress community." if that happens, I will have the final reason to walk away from WP.
# 15:57 petermolnar I seriously dislike the idea of an admin interface not having a fallback and being js only
# 15:58 tantek ugh - please fix that dfn! and definitely add your criticism to a new == Criticisms == section
# 16:03 petermolnar if WP finally decided to use something other than PHP why could they not drift towards python? :(
# 16:04 tantek because python is not as fashionable as node?

# 16:26 aaronpk ben_thatmustbeme: the IRC->Slack part is inside Loqi, but Slack->IRC (which is the harder part) is that project
# 16:26 tantek yeah - all the keygen + browser clientside cert stuff
wolftune joined the channel
Pierre-O joined the channel
# 16:27 tantek lol - most references to webid in conversation mean exactly that
# 16:28 tantek just like openID is a protocol (or now several variants)
# 16:28 tantek if you're looking for a generic noun for domain as identity, NYT recommends "your web address", similar to "your email address"

# 19:36 ben_thatmustbeme is moving discussion about micropub / webmention having implementations first in to the channel
# 19:37 ben_thatmustbeme I get that implementations listed first is like "hey look at all the implementations that are out there" but most of the time i don't think people are going to a page for info about what implementations exist, they want the meat of what the spec is
# 19:37 ben_thatmustbeme this is especially important with aaronpk working on autobuilding a spec out of the wiki page
# 19:37 tantek depends on the context of how they arrive at the page
# 19:38 tantek on the IWC site - there are lots of different kinds of pages / proposals of widely varying levels of adoption
# 19:38 aaronpk this is almost an argument for splitting these pages into two different pages. I like all the non-spec information that's on the wiki, but a lot of it doesn't belong in a spec.
# 19:38 tantek totally disagree aaronpk - because moving implementation separately de-emphasizes their importance to a spec
# 19:38 kevinmarks with microformats we split the implementations out when they got long
# 19:38 tantek which, as we have discussed before is so important, and so often neglected (e.g. specs WITHOUT implementation first) that it must be included
# 19:39 aaronpk i just can't imagine the HTML spec listing out implementations
# 19:39 tantek older specs like HTML didn't need to list implementations
# 19:39 tantek though if you look at TimBL's original publication of HTML, he *did* list implementations on a nearby page linked directly from
# 19:40 tantek the culture of rough consensus and running code has been lost
# 19:40 kevinmarks that specs tend to abjure exampwls and implementations in favour of metadescription and BNF is an antipattern
# 19:40 tantek that you didn't have to list implementations - people always knew and could depend on implementations existing for specs being proposed
# 19:40 tantek because no one would dare propose something without running code
# 19:40 tantek but now, you have so much academica / enterprise-architect theory-noise
# 19:40 aaronpk having an "implementations" header and linking to a page from the spec would be great
# 19:41 kevinmarks I agree we want a list of implementations, but having it at the top is unwieldy
# 19:41 tantek because it shows critical mass for something *up front*
# 19:42 tantek and it encourages others to implement and add themselves
# 19:42 tantek when you *scroll* through a list of implementations, that has a psychological impact
# 19:42 ben_thatmustbeme when there is a large list already i see it and go "good it has plenty of support, i'm going to implement it too"
# 19:43 ben_thatmustbeme encourages to implement when its a long list, engourages to add yourself when its short
# 19:43 aaronpk ben_thatmustbeme: counterpoint that http://oauth.net/2/ gets plenty of pull requests with people adding their libraries and services. granted that's not the spec page, but it's the "official" list of OAuth 2 implementations
ttepasse joined the channel
# 19:44 ben_thatmustbeme tantek: that page is also implementations page, not a spec, they link to the spec FIRST though
# 19:44 tantek I've tried to be very deliberate about the sections on the wiki
# 19:45 tantek understanding, justification, teaching, reality-check
nitot joined the channel
# 19:47 ben_thatmustbeme either a seperate page or moving to the bottom is fine with me, but definitely should not be up front
# 19:48 tantek ben_thatmustbeme: for a standalone spec page, apart from the wiki, I agree that putting IndieWeb Examples & Implementations towards the end
# 19:48 tantek Abstract is specs is a leftover from academic papers
# 19:50 aaronpk also I think I might add one level of headers to the examples so that there is a single Examples section with everything under it
# 19:51 aaronpk heck we have a top-level "Client implementation requests" section that should probably get moved somewhere else
# 19:51 kevinmarks I see that aaronpk just made the exact edit I was previewing :D
# 19:52 tantek aaronpk: yes, such "Advocacy" can be moved to a separate page (or auto-omitted from the "spec" styled version)
# 19:53 tantek Examples are another good example of contextually different hierarchy
# 19:53 tantek on the IWC site, it makes a lot of sense to specifically call out, list, and emphasize IndieWeb Examples *first*
# 19:56 aaronpk sounds like we need to add some...structure to the page so that I can reformat it into the spec version
# 19:57 aaronpk if we marked all the sections of content with microformats classes I could use the mf2 parsed version to rearrange things
# 19:57 tantek except that then places undue burden on future editing
# 19:57 tantek which equals likely getting out of sync / neglected
# 19:58 tantek "marked all the sections of content" lol - it's all supposed to be content ;)
# 19:58 aaronpk i just mean things like wrap the indieweb examples section in a div
# 19:58 tantek "just" ... "things like" <-- determining that "like" is the hard part! not just now, but in the future
# 19:59 aaronpk okay fine concrete example. you suggested flattening all the examples to avoid having the indieweb examples first in the spec version.
# 19:59 aaronpk if each example is wrapped in a <div class="e-example"> then they'll show up in the parsed version and I can re-render that as a single list
# 20:00 kevinmarks wrap them in a <details><summary> then tantek will see them all in firefox and all the other browsers will collapse them
# 20:03 tantek aaronpk - that's a perfect example of an authoring requirement that will easily get forgotten
# 20:04 tantek better is something explicitly visually structural
# 20:04 aaronpk the only other option i can think of is maintaining a completely different document
# 20:04 tantek e.g. if you know to look for examples in "Examples"
cleverdevil- joined the channel
# 20:04 aaronpk yeah i don't want to parse HTML because it's hard
# 20:10 tantek exactly, consider the HTML5 outline algorithm dead

# 20:16 GWG What is this about rearranging the micropub page?
# 20:18 gavinc Yeah, I think it's safe to say outlining is dead :(
# 20:19 GWG Tantek, when I wanted to move examples didn't you have issues?
zero-gravitas joined the channel
# 20:20 tantek gavinc - wat - the "outline algorithm" had very little to do with any necessary outlining use-cases
# 20:20 tantek GWG - yes, I had issues about moving them to a separate page
# 20:21 tantek which I still do - for the reasons (re)explained
nitot joined the channel
# 20:22 gavinc chances of it being implemented vs an outline based on ranked hN tags seems unlikely

# 20:54 zero-gravitas not really, there's a link to somethign for webmentions in Jekyll but that's really it. OK, will have a go at it myself

# 22:03 tantek hey IndieWebCamp SF co-organizers - I've asked Andi of CascadeSF to help with Eventbrite setup of IWC SF (she volunteered to help with copy editing etc.)

# 22:07 andicascadesf Hi everyone.
# 22:08 andicascadesf I’m flattered. Hi Loqi *bats lashes*
# 22:08 andicascadesf How long would it take to setup an email address like eventbrite@indiewebcamp.com
lukebrooker joined the channel
# 22:09 andicascadesf awesome. not sure if we should use that naem
# 22:09 andicascadesf but maybe events@indiewebcamp.com
# 22:09 andicascadesf so once you have that setup, please let me know and I’ll go ahead and create an Eventbrite account, and give everyone the password.
# 22:09 andicascadesf I think events is better.
# 22:10 aaronpk sure thing. would you like the emails forwarded to you?
# 22:10 andicascadesf andi@cascadesf.com
# 22:10 andicascadesf woop woop
# 22:11 andicascadesf password?
# 22:11 andicascadesf ah if it autoforwards I don’t think it matters
# 22:12 andicascadesf Thank you

# 23:01 kylewm got permission from Facebook for publish_actions on silo.pub
# 23:03 kylewm for reference i requested the permission saturday and it went through today, so like 1 business day
friedcell joined the channel
# 23:06 tantek kylewm++ yay for multiple ways and permissions!
# 23:07 snarfed also re silo.pub, if we implement https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/560 , will the choice between silo.pub and that form bridgy publish will come down to...supported silos, supported features (e.g. person tagging), preference btw webmention vs micropub (e.g. clients)...anything else?
# 23:13 kylewm the bridgy way would still be better for users who want to write HTML and not procedural code
davidpeach joined the channel
# 23:16 kylewm snarfed: I also think adding (and maintaining) new silos is much easier in silopub because it does so much less with them
# 23:17 kylewm and doesn't have any kind of idea of feature parity across silos
nitot, KartikPrabhu and snarfed joined the channel
# 23:44 aaronpk my not-yet-launched p3k supports editing and deleting
# 23:44 tantek e.g. kylewm does silopub support micropub editing/deleting to edit/delete posts on Tumblr, WordPress.com, Blogger, twitter, Facebook and Flickr?
# 23:45 tantek (because that would be an interesting distinction from Bridgy Publish and its use of Webmention - thought Bridgy Publish could also expand to support Webmention CRUD)
# 23:45 snarfed tantek: the wordpress micropub plugin supports both
snarfed and Calli joined the channel
# 23:58 tantek I know we have broad interop on Micropub "Create" - it would be nice to know how far we are with interop on Editing and Delete
