#tantekJeena - perhaps write a blog post about why indieweb is important to *you*, and then we can cite it and add to indiewebcamp.com/why accordingly!
#Jeenayeah but free software is not about code either
#tantekall the free software in the world could disappear tomorrow and we would still be here owning our data
#aaronpk"code is ephemeral" rings so true for me right now, after having just tossed out a bunch of old code
#JeenaSo why do you think paying someone to fix your software doesn't make it free? Isn't the freedom there to be able to do that in contrast to that you just can't fix your software because the developer doesn't want you to use it in some specific way?
#tantekyou don't have to pay anything for the bill of rights
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
#tantekanyway - regardless, go write a post about why indieweb matters to you, whether it is about freedom or anything else you care the most about! that's the point
#tantekit's not - as evidenced by what lots of people have said on /why
#tantekthis way we also capture your positive motivations and help propagate them
#tantekrather than debate the meaning of freedom :)
#JeenaI was looking at the frontpage of http://indiewebcamp.com/ and the three headlines: Your content is yours, You are better connected and You are in control. All of this souns to me a loot like freedom
#Jeenabut I fully agree that my "mostly" and so on was a bit too landgrabby
#JeenaI like the blogpost idea, I still need to sort things out in my head to understand that myself first but I will definatelly write one
#KartikPrabhure: nested comments, not sure salmentions + 2 level nesting limit is compatible
#KartikPrabhu(feel free to ignore below since it is rehashing morning discussion)
#KartikPrabhuA writes a post and B replies to it. When B get a level-2 reply B displays it and sends a "salmention" to A. So for A it is level 3 comment. Is A supposed to ignore the level-3 response?
#aaronpk2-level nesting isn't about rejecting/ignoring replies deeper than that, it's just they get displayed all in a list under the 1st level
#KartikPrabhuyeah then you lose context of the conversation
#aaronpkyou can try it out on facebook. click "reply" to a post and it will nest it under the post. click "reply" on that, and it will nest it. then click "reply" on that one, and it appears directly under it, no longer nested
#JeenaI agree, tree might visually not be the nicest thing to look at but I haven't found a better representation yet
#KartikPrabhuJeena: no not about visually good to look at. Nested comments are a UX nightmare
#Jeenaone could make subtrees closed and if the user is interested in them they can show them
#KartikPrabhuyeah has been tried and is still a nightmare to click around a whole bunch of trees then getting back to level0 you have to click through again etc...
#KartikPrabhugRegorLove: on forums yes. But a level-3 on your post might be a level-2 salmention from somewhere else and a level-1 comment some other where
#aaronpkanyway this is mostly theoretical until someone actually builds this
#KartikPrabhugRegorLove: yes and if I get a level-3 salmention propagated comment should I ignore it because it might be bad or accept it and show it as level-1 (which means it is not bad?)
#aaronpkfwiw I am planning on implementing it like Facebook once I start showing comment threads at all, since right now i am only even showing the first level of comment
#KartikPrabhuaaronpk: let me find an example for you ;)
#gRegorLoveYou're misunderstanding my jokey comment.
#KartikPrabhuoh ok if that was not meant to be serious then fine
#JeenaI actually really don't like it how facebook does nested comments, it is mostly not usable because they sort them differently for everyone + the not leveling deeper, which creates so much confusion and bad blood because people think someone answered on one thing but they did on something else, etc.
#KartikPrabhubut then my objection is how do I show that the level-3 comment was actually in response to some other comment and not directly to my post
#aaronpkKartikPrabhu: i'm saying i don't think it matters at that point. plus you can always click the permalink of the post in question to see exactly what it's in relation to
#KartikPrabhuwhich is almost as good as not showing "salmention" propagation. If people want see comments on a comment then should simply go to the permalink
#KartikPrabhulook for the string "if you mark up your"
#aaronpkit appears to be a reply to the thing above it
#KartikPrabhuluckily kylewm's comment webmention arrived precisely after the comment he was replying to otherwise that would have been completely out of context
#aaronpkwith 2-level comment threading it would still have looked right
#KartikPrabhuyes. you have shifted my problem to level-3 then ;)
shiflett joined the channel
#KartikPrabhuthat is what I am saying. I gave a level-1 max example
#aaronpkbut i'm saying it doesn't really matter after a point
#aaronpkand i think facebook picked a reasonable level
desttinghim1 joined the channel
#KartikPrabhuok you seem to be fine with max-level = 2 but that is arbitrary
#KartikPrabhuI'll stick with max-level = 1 and no "salmention"
#aaronpki'm almost certain facebook did some amount of research or experimentation to arrive at that number
#Jeenahm, https://kartikprabhu.com/ doesn't have a RSS feed and I'm using http://reader.kylewm.com/ just like I used Twitterm as a stream for reading short notes when I'm bored. Longer articles I really like to read in my normal Feedreader.
#KartikPrabhuJeena: maybe your reader does not parse spaced rel values like rel="feed alternate"
#Jeenahave you been thinking also using something like that <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Blog" href="/atom" /> so browsers would show it in their UI?
#KevinMarksthe facebook example isn't right, because that is a silo and so can show all comments
#KevinMarksa better example is facebook comments backfed onto a post, that come from multiple people sharing the articel on fb
#KartikPrabhuJeena: no. not using hidden meta stuff for these things
#JeenaI mostly don't search for a link in the content, I kind of assume that if my browser can't find and show it I will not either
#Jeenait seems to be Firefox, which has the functionality of the button also under the Menu -> Bookmarks -> Subscribe to this page ...
#JeenaI didn't quite understand the plugins code but it seems it just uses the FireFox implementation of the discovery
#Jeenaand KartikPrabhu after everything I read it looks like that you should use rel="alternate home" not rel="alternate feed" even though I think all the explanations are quite wage on why and it doesn't quite fit your and mine use of it where we want to link to different feeds for articles and notes, and not to a website-feed
#KartikPrabhuI am sure they are going to complain that I should use <link> or my markup is wrong
#Jeenahehe I tried to make this not possible by linking to your homepage which is allowed to have rel=alternate instead of home and by linking to their own developer pages where they describe how and why to use <a> instead of <link>
#aaronpk...if i could figure out how any python projects are laid out
#aaronpkkylewm: what does silo.pub do with unrecognized parameters in a request?
yakker and Gold joined the channel
#aaronpkhuh it just occurred to me that I can add both bridgy publish *and* silo.pub as syndication options in my site, and use each one separately when I want
#aaronpkall I know is I clicked the date on the tweet, clicked my browser bookmarklet to reply to the tweet, which prefills the in-reply-to field of Quill, and it was not the permalink
#KartikPrabhuweird... in actual browser-based browsing it seems to work. Just clicked around my notification page
#KartikPrabhu[kevinmarks]: no those are purely presentational aspect
#KartikPrabhu[kevinmarks]: also "contain" is hard to do with multiple images which Twitter supports. Of course it could do contain on single images and cover on others
#KartikPrabhuwait how is that a response to "no idea... " ?
#KartikPrabhuit is out of order in the logs too if that is a response...
#tantekI still don't understand featured vs cover vs contains images
#tantekKartikPrabhu: as cweiske pointed out, it's not out of order, I misinterpreted KevinMarks's statement as response to me when it was a response to something earlier
#KartikPrabhutantek: cover/contain are the terminology in the background image positioning stuff.
#KartikPrabhuerrr image layout/cropping is not easy... silos might be able to do it with some image processing AI type tools but i don't know anyone who does it on thir site

#Phykshey, just wondering, have you ever heard about people willing to implement basic ideas behind indiewebcamp to some entirely different domains? (thinking in scientific publication for instance)
loic_m, ttepasse, Pierre-O and myfreeweb joined the channel
#petermolnarPhyks withknown.com as far as can recall was made to bring indieweb to education
#Phykspetermolnar: yes, remember having heard of such things at a withknown presentation @Mozilla Paris last year
#Phyksactually, I am working with some friends on open access policies and related stuff around scientific publications (not sure how familiar people on this chan are with these things)
#Phyksand a recent discussion reminded me some ideas from indiewebcamp, especially concerning webmentions, mf2 etc
#GWGI intend to use it on my site when I feel it is ready.
#petermolnarat this very moment, I really don't need it as I have most of my needs covered; I know it's against selfdogfooding, especially that I triggered some changes in it
#petermolnarhowever, if I get rid of some stuff, like the extension of the author fields, it'd make good use
LaraFZ joined the channel
#GWGWell, the problem always comes with how a project satisfies differing needs.
#GWGPetermolnar, why do you have use all features?
#petermolnarGWG sorry, your question doesn't really make sense to make, can you please rephrase it?
#GWGYou said you wanted to get rid of some of the h-card fields. Why do you have to use that feature if you want to generate your own h-card?
#petermolnarI meant that I have them right now, as part of my author settings of my theme
#Phykspetermolnar: nothing really specific in the short term, but there seem to be some similar problematics
#PhyksIn particular, there are many (decentralized) repos to post open access scientific papers and this raises concerns about indexing and archiving them (there are some people at archive.org working on this for instance)
#PhyksI was thinking in webmentions particularly, which could be another and more modern way of referencing previous works
#Schnitztantek for people with a non-technical background its great entry into indie web to make them use dropbox to get started with their first own self-authored web site
#tantekSchnitz: does it actually produce HTML? or is it one of those trendy client-side JS only things?
snarfed joined the channel
#Schnitzthats the good part, instead of DropPages, which sucks since its just giving you some weird CMS trying to generate stuff, pancake.io does NOTHING, gives you a folder, you put in your on HTML
#Schnitzwell nothing was bit premature, there a two JS scripts being added. Need to check whether thats in any way problematic, but otherwise it seems straight-forward...
#snarfedSchnitz: that's fairly common for github orgs. it often (always?) defaults org memberships to private. kinda annoying.
#Schnitzsnarfed ah ok thanks for that, didn't know, good to know
sid14726 joined the channel
#Schnitzthe problem with such things is that it would really get people trying to move to something indieweb frustrated, 'cos the system pancake.io just fails in between by itself, and I know its them, but someone with less background won't know and get frustrated real fast. So as it stands we should really take off pancake.io from the WIKI
#Schnitzis now quite unsure how to judge such a service that seems abandoned and 'flickers' between functioning and disfunctional with regards to the Wiki and promoting to other people or using it at all
#tantekSchnitz: ask the same questions I asked you above
#Schnitzlol :-) no worries I'm not too much in bashing mode today, that will be fine :)
#tantekThe key here is not to "bash" but rather to document cold hard facts that can help new folks avoid trying unstable, buggy, fragile, or unreliable things
#tantekand that's actually key, because no need to be harsher than that on something which is not doing well
#tantekit's possible that it's creators may re-emerge, and then it will help that any such documentation is purely factual. because then they can edit it once they have changed the circumstances.
#Schnitza whole page might just be a little too much attention, it being located where it is in the wiki seems the right level of awareness for this project

#Vendanpersonally, if I ever offered an online service, it'd be strictly as "you pay for what you use" kinda thing

#Vendanbut you'd pay to store your data in my "silo"
#kylewmand absolutely not open to just any random person
#kylewmyes I agree, I was more thinking about the tilde club idea of multiple people sharing one server. if you wanted to run a little script that copies documents from html into your server, that'd be awesome

#Schnitzas side note on pancake.io, my test ran well for like an hour again, then I made one change to my index.html, as suddently it failed: http://raketenbasis.pancakeapps.com/
#Vendanthey seem to be doing much more then just "expose directory as website"
#SchnitzI think what I wanted to get at is ... author a good and clean indie web single index.html web site for my fellow musicians friends band acts, and if you something like pancake.io would work out of the box, and they had their little website then going for free, I know they would be exciting *enough* that they might learn a little bit of HTML...

#Vendanhonestly, unless you get insane amounts of traffic, or they start doing a lot of large file stuff like audio, a $5 droplet or whatever could do way more then 5~10
#Vendanthe other side of it is, do you even need dropbox at that point, or is dropbox the hook for getting them to be able to edit the site easily?
#Vendanso basically, what you need is a linux dropbox api client that can handle multiple api connections simultaneously, updating files on disk so a webserver can serve them
#tantekSchnitz: perhaps add a short paragraph about your experience
#tantek!tell jgarber how long have you been using FrancisCMS on sixtwothree.org? since what date? do you have a "first post" of that sort you could link to?
#ben_thatmustbemeWith all the rsvps via eventbrite, i wonder if we should draft up some email we can send out to guests before IWC to set their expectations and point them in the right direction on some things, like getting a URL
#jkphlhi all! is there already something like a consensus on adopting shaners new logo draft? we are currently doing the final layout of a print article and could / would include it if ready and adopted. would need to finalize until sunday ...
#tantekjkphl: I proposed to aaronpk that perhaps any logo change could be done / announced at/for the IndieWeb Summit in June
#tantekand that until then, we stick with existing logo for everything
#tantekbut that's just my opinion / suggestion, I don't know how eagerly anyone else wants to adopt / change logos
#tantekJune will be ~five years since we held the first IndieWebCamp
#tantekso it also marks a good time for a logo refresh
#tantekperhaps I'll add that as a topic for discussion
#jkphltantek: i'd be fine with that as well. i was just thinking that a print product would probably last for some time, so if there's already a consensus, i should take the chance. ;)
#tantekjkphl: it sounds like there are different opinions on some of the variants - like the good point you made
#tantekfunny, I have a thought of print products being more ephemeral
#tantekwhile things get archived in archive.org forever :)
#gRegorLovetantek: /Nucleus isn't quite "take a chance" but I would advise caution in using it. Not sure if there's a place for that on /projects, or just note it on /Nucleus.
#jgarber_tantek: I thought I'd noted that somewhere on the wiki… Looks like I didn't. sixtwothree.org has been running on FrancisCMS since 2016-01-14 and I've been meaning to write a post ever since. Hoping to work on that at HWC DC tonight!
#gRegorLoveI updated /projects to reflect I don't use it and a short caution against using it.

#[kevinmarks]It has audio hosting and POSSE to soundcloud
#jkphlbtw. i just got this message from the the opensuse spokesman who also arranged the sponsoring for our nuremberg camp: "Hi Joschi. We are going to have our openSUSE Conference in Nuremberg in June. It would be great to have IndieWeb there." - whatever this means ... i'll find out.
#gRegorLoveNucleus development is re-opened (publicly), though github makes it look like it's just one person. And that's after the project page had a sunset message on it for 1.5 years.
#tantekIWC SF 2015 was one-day only yet very productive! (especially adjacent to W3C Social Web WG f2f)
#jkphlabsolutely. i'd be open for it! it's really awesome to have them. they're originally nuremberg based and one of the oldest and biggest linux distro providers here in germany, which is quite a nice match i think.
#tantekjkphl: ^^^ perhaps you could document that?
#tantekaaronpk: my rainbow "elsewhere" has totally grown on me, have you considered it for yours? you have so many more colors!
#jkphltantek: sure! will have to post-pone a little, however. it's almost 11 p.m. here and i should leave the office ;) ... openSUSE is their free linux distro. ~25% market share in germany, 14% worldwide.

#gRegorLoveSchnitz: Is bandcamp more the desired UI? (I think you said this is for musicians, right?)
#SchnitzI feel kinda stupid because I personally do not care (and can change UIs myself anyways), but the people I'm involved have a certain expectations how things should look & feell, as silly as that is, but thats how it is
#LoqiSchnitz meant to say: known from an engine perspective could well address many things I'm looking for right now
#Schnitzits just the way its designed is that seems to be for some completely different usage
#SchnitzI wouldn't even argue that running for those ... say 'media' people is really worth it, but, with a different style, it would be attractive for sure
#gRegorLoveBandcamp is a silo for artists to promote their music, including streaming and customizable pricing for purchasing music http://bandcamp.com
#Schnitzgregorlove right... now if you could get something like bandcamp or soundcloud to actually POSSE into all the SILOs and be indieweb friendly in itself, that would be huge
#Schnitzbecause people do this manually all the time now
#Schnitzso for KNOWN, for example, everything should be managed conceptually around the media itself. Not so much blogging, but more.. 'I have content - say music / video'... then 'now what do you want to do with it?"...
#Schnitzknown does this already, I know, but the whole idea is more about a continous stream of posting anything to anywhere right now, and the UI is very neutral / clean, thats a bit too broad
#tantekSchnitz: wait you mean they're not all using /MySpace ? I thought MySpace was *the* place for musicians
#SchnitzI still haven't abandoned the dropbox hosting approach... interesting looking at the alternatives. both site44 and duet.to do exactly the same thing. Also the same price. Interesting duet.to is from Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates), thats amazing
