ChrisAldrichI've spent part of the day going through some old data stores and importing content into my site. Feels good to own a bigger piece of my web.
ChrisAldrichI was looking at some of the code to make some small fixes, but it looked more differently than the last time I'd looked at it a few months ago.
ChrisAldrichare you sticking with pingback/trackback on that post, or are you injecting some webmention goodness into it? It's a pretty big platform you could use to garner support. :)
GWGChrisAldrich: I mention Webmentions as a protocol that offers several mprovements over pingbacks, but my advocacy is for display improvements. And I'd be trying to make it so they could be used by both.
GWGChrisAldrich: I am the component maintainer. I have a lot of stuff I couldn't get into 4.6 related to it that improves overall infrastructure and several that benefit webmentions as well.
ChrisAldrichI've actually created a custom page to put those onto my site to give them a place to go (http://boffosocko.com/mentions/). I didn't want to display them on my home page (like kevinmarks.com for example)
AngeloGl1just wanted to grab you while you're in the chat -- your /blog's h-entries e-content includes all the social media buttons and is bloating the crawl data massively
GWGChrisAldrich: pfefferle is often busy? That is why I have my own experimental plugin to play with these ideas, but still contribute the more mature ideas to the more stable one.
ChrisAldrichAngelo: Thanks, but I'm aware, and have a few "internal" bug fixes to change it. Some of them are dependent on other community-based code that needs to be fixed too.
ChrisAldrichKevinMarks, I also noticed you had a section about "friends" that is pushed under those Twitter @'s that disappears because there are so many of them.
ChrisAldrichKevinMarks, I contemplated leaving mine on the front page, but I analogized them to having a bloated blogroll show up in a sidebar on every page.
ChrisAldrichGWG, I've been in the midst of setting up a more robust test site for doing such things, but I've been a bit more focused on my personal site the past few weeks.
ChrisAldrichaaronpk, speaking of camps, you mentioned you were sitting on IWC stickers/t-shirts, can you give me a price for a shirt or two and a bunch of stickers with shipping. It'd be nice to have some to help promote LA when I attend some other related upcoming camps.
ChrisAldrichMost of my issues generally seem to be more theme-based with how webmentions are output, things like facepiling likes/favorites in the manner of your commentwalker concept.
ChrisAldrichI've also recently been getting some mixed webmention comments from brid.gy. Generally I've been fixing them manually, but I need to spend some time sorting out what's actually causing the issue. I suspect it's happening on the WordPress side, and it's only about 1 in every 20 webmentions, so it hasn't been horrible.
ChrisAldrichI have been working on some stuff to own all of my past Twitter data (and actually display it). Toward that end, having webmentions for custom post types could be useful, and I could see broader need for that in the broader WP community.
ChrisAldrichI've spent some time reading through the webmention parts and picking apart the WP implementation, though I've far from mastered it all. I've not looked at any of the pingback/trackback specs and suspect I may never get there.
ChrisAldrichHow many themes actually take advantage of displaying pingbacks? I don't think many really do in a worthwhile way do they? At least I haven't seen it in my experience.
ChrisAldrichIf they'll let you finish it out with a "Looking toward the future" section that allows you to wax poetic about how webmentions might be a way to combine the best of the prior two specs in a more robust way, that would be supremely cool.
ChrisAldrichI've run into some interesting folks over the past few months who are generally indieweb favorable, but I've yet to see any of them adopt it directly. I'm stalking a few folks for the upcoming LA WordCamp to buttonhole them to see if we can't get some additional help.
ChrisAldrichHey, they sound like good friends to have. I only noticed because I was recently thinking of re-engineering my own blogroll/following with XFN, etc.
ChrisAldrichWhat are you using for displaying the tweets? It seems like I've seen that interface/set up before somewhere when experimenting, but don't recall where now.
cmalyet another gray day of racist French people comparing veiled women to Nazis while actual nazis get closer to the power and terrorize the local population, HOW ARE YOU?
tantek(and once I support displaying webmentions, I'll have to do more tweaking, e.g. will likely switch from PSCs to always having PSLs on my POSSE tweets)
tantekI have the impression that events that highlight key speakers/participants tend to draw more people, and get people who got tickets to show up more
