#gRegorLoveMaybe worth uploading a copy of that u-featured photo to the wiki so we're not using instagram cdn url? Presuming the photo taker is ok with CC0
#gRegorLoveAh, it's tantek's. I suspect he's cool with CC0 :)

#[chrisaldrich]tantek: I'm optomistic too, so thanks for putting them in there. I'll update them as we go along. Hoping to lock a location for next week tomorrow. I'll see what we can do to keep things up as a lead-in to IWC LA in November
#GWG[chrisaldrich]: How many people do you think will show?
#[chrisaldrich]I've got a verbal yes from about 4. But I'm also doing announcements for it at a few other larger meetings between now and then as well.
#GWGI'm tempted to come out. I have to use up some time off.
#[chrisaldrich]I've also got a handful of maybes who are waiting on the location/other things in their schedules
#[chrisaldrich]There's a WordPress meet up at the Pasadena Apple Store the night before, so we may grab a few folks there as well.
#[chrisaldrich]With the valuation of the pound right now, the UK has to look pretty nice right now.
#GWG[chrisaldrich]: I've always wanted to visit Scotland.
#[chrisaldrich]I'd love to go there on a mountain biking trip actually...
#[chrisaldrich]How's the NY planning coming? I'm tempted to come out to your back yard for that one... I'm still thinking about doing a camp in Baltimore in January, but won't have plans for my two other events then locked in until September some time.
#GWG[chrisaldrich]: I need to track down our venue coordinator.
#[chrisaldrich]Mostly WordCamp OC was missing the vigor of new users (who were shut out of the ticket window that closed after about 5 hours), so there were very few beginner sessions or even an "nstall fest" in the morning of day one.
#GWGWell, to turn toward the positive, I was pondering how to do intro to Indieweb using some demo WordPress sites.
#[chrisaldrich]WordCamp LA has a lot more space, so it'll take them a while to sell out. They've also got a larger community here than the OC area does.
#[chrisaldrich]That's a good question. I've been thinking about something similar or potentially a series of install/use videos (which might also double as documentation for some of the plugins)
#[chrisaldrich]Using the indiemark levels [http://indieweb.org/indiemark] may be a reasonable outline, though even a step by step set up everything in the IndieWeb Plugin would probably work well too.
#GWGWell, the Indieweb plugin went from trying to be the Jetpack for Indieweb to being a plugin installer, to being a plugin installer + identity/h-card elements. But we can put instructions in it.
#[chrisaldrich]I think I did a few PRs in the last couple of weeks with some additional sketch documentation for a handful of related things.
#GWGWe have to change it for Indieweb.org over Indiewebcamp.org, I believe.
#GWGI also made some changes based on requests from a user. I was able to remove a setting.
#[chrisaldrich]Having better instructions on each of the individual ones first would be helpful, then bundling those into the bigger one (as well as the wiki would be useful).
#GWGWell, if you have anything for Post Kinds, I just cleaned up some stuff there.
#GWGNow I'm going over to Syndication Links for some cleanup. Then back to Micropub.
#[chrisaldrich]I had a few plugins that added additional data into the standard User profile, but did the identity/h-card stuff add some additional fields into the user profile for adding better h-card support?
#[chrisaldrich]It's been a while since I looked at the code, so I wasn't sure which fields were coming from which plugins. I'll have to do a fresh install with only indieweb to test/document things.
#[chrisaldrich]I'm planning on doing an indieweb site for a friend in the next week or so. That'll be a good opportunity to test the latest workflow and I'll put together a long post and some documentation together based on that.
#[chrisaldrich]I saw a new WP dev phillycodehound join the channel last week and hoped he might have some thoughts for us as well as he begins exploring.
#[chrisaldrich]GWG: Was that you with a new blogpost just now?
#GWGYes. I'm not always in the WordPress Slack channel.
#[chrisaldrich]He popped his head into both. I've got an alert set up for anytime someone mentions WordPress in the channel.
#[chrisaldrich]May have to doublecheck it now that there are more channels...
#Loqi[David Shanske] Lessons Learned from IndiewebCamp and WordCamp
KevinMarks, sandro and [kevinmarks] joined the channel
#[kevinmarks]So twitter is making a push about verification. We could do indie verification by having a little bit of js that checks related me backlinks
#[chrisaldrich]Good job. I think they're an improvement over the previous set (particularly the ones in the admin interface which seem slightly different than those in the display, no?)
#[chrisaldrich]The one for "read" looks a bit more like one for "bookmark" though... isn't there one in the set that looks like an open book perhaps?
#GWG[chrisaldrich]: No, same version both times. Just tweaked the colors.
#[kevinmarks]"Twitter's support page says it favors people who use their real name or recognizable stage name, as well as a profile or header photo that accurately represents the person. You can also provide URLs to support the request"
#[kevinmarks]"When providing URLs to support your request, choose sites that help express the account holder’s newsworthiness or relevancy in their field."
#sknebelmany already have at least some filtered view
#sknebele.g. don't show replies to others on the homepage
#sknebelIf I were to use my site more twitter-like I'd probably offer a "blog" view and a "full" view
#sknebelbut I also don't think that is something that needs new attributes etc
#petermolnari ended up using an all-in stream for home; using tags as main labelling; and, because wordpress has built-in undying categories, categories as post-type cache

#voxpellipetermolnar: regarding that tags needs to specified per site – one can use URL:s for categories through u-category – this is eg. how one can tag a post as IndieNews: https://news.indieweb.org/how-to-submit-a-post
#voxpelliI think there has been discussions on somehow making a sites "firehose" of posts discoverable if someone wants to subscribe to everything rather than just a specific section. That might make sense to subscribe to without making sense in the primary UI
#voxpelliI eg. have my archive as a firehose list, but my main sections are split up
goodoo joined the channel
#petermolnarthis ties back to my self argument of do I need more than one taxonomy?
#petermolnarif I want to make it easier for machines, I probably do, so u-category as (extendes list of) post type and tag as regular folksonomy of whatever is related to the post
#petermolnarbut as far as I understand, there is only u-category in mf2, am I right?
#tantekoh neat - is that the first time the new home page and domain has made it to HN?

#[chrisaldrich]It may be a few years out, but who's to say that there isn't an indieweb algorithm in the future (similar to facebook's) that's able to sit on top of hundreds of thousands of sites (federated perhaps) that helps to algorighmically bubble up what users prefer to see in their readers (one canyt follow everything)? Having a way to better represent posts, photos, etc. with reasonable metadata with mf2 as in the above discussion wil be much more im
#[chrisaldrich]It is an itch now, my problem is that I don't have a big enough or well-formed enough data set to make it personally realizable at present. :slightly_smiling_face:
#GWGOn that note, time for work...after that...continuing my round robin of minor plugin bugfixes...yesterday was Post Kinds, moved to minor shifts in Syndication Links. May swing through updating the indiewebcamp links in the Indieweb plugin to Indieweb.org, and then back to Micropub.
#aaronpk[chrisaldrich]: i've solved that essentially by filtering things by keywords. works good enough for now.
#[chrisaldrich]I'd like to make my own data (posts, photos, etc) not only useful for me, but more useful and consumable by others as well.
#[chrisaldrich]yes, having some basic filtering tools is great, but they're more prone to only be used by gen1, what happens when my mom joins?
#[chrisaldrich]In fact, it's fine when my mom likes family photos, but it feels a bit embarrassing when she's liking my posts about quantum information theory. :wink:
#aaronpki'm just not convinced an algorithmic solution for filtering posts is the right approach. luckily facebook and twitter are trying it out at a large scale now so we'll get to see the results from that
#[chrisaldrich]It's those use cases that make it an itch for me in addition to research I do in areas like genetic algorighms that will be applicable to these problems later on
#[chrisaldrich]thanks Tantek, I do appreciate the "build for yourself for now" philosophy, but I also know there's a lot of functionality Harry & Mary Beercan will want in Gen4 that some should think about in the backs of our minds.
#tantekchrisaldrich, as someone else who posts on many subjects that may have appeal/interest to different sets of friends/followers, I sympathize
#tantek(from travel photos, personal insights / observations, to dry/professional web standards stuff)
#tantekthe point about the latter gen stuff is that it's hard to really illuminate what's going to be needed for that without *first* building stuff and iterating yourself
#tantekand growing that bit by bit, person by person, generation by generation
#tanteknearly no one has enough "future vision" to just leap to the what is the right answer for gen4, so don't bother. instead, iterate your way there with real world building / experimenting
#[chrisaldrich]a lot of the stuff I'd like to (and should) post more about has such a tiny niche audience compared to the more quotidient material which has a larger audience; I suppose I'll just continue building the training set. :slightly_smiling_face:
#Loqisnarfed: GWG left you a message 2 weeks, 3 days ago: I found a better way to do one of the changes I was doing based on something I did in webmentions. Going to resubmit as part of the request to clean up.
#Loqisnarfed: tantek left you a message 2 weeks, 3 days ago: do you get any value from @WordPressTTT ? Seems to just repeat stuff seen elsewhere with no additional value. Considering banning as spam.
#snarfedhuh interesting, switched tells back to triggering on join, not message?
#aaronpki forgot to rename the !tells to the new channel!
