between that and work, I'm not getting enough of anything done. Hope to catch up by the weekend though.
#
[chrisaldrich]
GWG, I haven't had time to update just yet. The house had a terrible bout with food poisioning over the weekend.
#
[chrisaldrich]
I've gotten behind on reading logs, but have kind of kept up with github conversations. Can't wait to update.
#
[chrisaldrich]
tantek, I'll see if I can get to it in the next day or two. Thanks for the reminder.
#
GWG
[chrisaldrich]: I always value your opinion
#
GWG
Oh, and I'm coming to IWS.
#
GWG
Hoping to have some more fixes done by then

[chrisaldrich]: The hotel I booked seems nice enough. It's on a transit line from the venue
#

GWG, I bookmarked the WordPress trac ticket to comment on in the coming day or so. https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/40852 I suspect that cleverdevil and others would also.
#
[chrisaldrich]
alright, I'm heading out to a WordPress meetup in Pasadena to spread the IndieWord news...

Gregorlove, I really thought Webmentions might be in by now.

Just no one is interested.
#

What's the ticket for that one?
#
GWG
In practice, not in theory
#
gRegorLove
And are there any concrete steps for it to progress? Just need to win over some core devs?
#
GWG
Mostly core interest
#
GWG
My efforts have involved refining the plugin implementation for that reason.

Just catching up, I'll try and point my WordPress folks to the Micropub ticket.

Hurm, running micropub.rocks against wordpress. No picture was displayed for 205 Create an h-entry post with a photo with alt text (JSON). Would that be a micropub bug?

I followed a link from monoculture.
#
miklb
GWG what in the ever lovin' are they talking about in that thread?
#
GWG
miklb: That was sort of the point.
#
GWG
miklb: They are trying to make block management client side JS only.
#
miklb
time for me to quickly rethink WP if that's the case
#
GWG
So, if I understand correctly, when you retrieve a post in the new 'Gutenberg' editor, it will parse the post_content and turn it into blocks for editing.
#
GWG
miklb: How about headless WP with Micropub?
#
miklb
seems at that point might as well switch platforms
#
miklb
if can't turn that kind of stuff off at least
#
GWG
miklb: We'll see. Don't know what is coming. Just that is confuses me.

What does "blocks for editing" mean?
#
aaronpk
Are they turning wordpress into mediawiki? lol
#
GWG
aaronpk: I'm still confused about the whole thing
#
aaronpk
I haven't read anything but it sounds like the mediawiki API
#
miklb
I read the companion issue, which didn't seem to get much traction from others, and sounds like wants to use JSON-LD to store chunks of content you can drop into/and reuse
#
miklb
the argument was that was what a widget is
#
miklb
thus no need to store the data differently for the new editor. At least that was my take away
#
GWG
I got into this contemplating the issues of mf2 markup
#
GWG
snarfed, pfefferle and I are trying to not interfere with each other's effort
#
GWG
I hoped WordPress might solve the problem for us.

Apparently not

next I need in my feed reader: a button to load the comments
#
cweiske
or make it automatically load comments, without clicking a button
#
Zegnat
Would you be parsing comments from how they are displayed on the permalink article, or fetch every comments own permalink, cweiske? Because in case of the latter, a button might be more prudent then a tonne of extra requests every time

from the article page itself

hm, the h-event markup on the hwc wiki pages is really stretched to the limits. wouldn't per-city h-events make more sense, especially since starting times don't always are exactly the same? (sorry if I'm triggering a discussion that has happened way to often already...)

What is OSS protocol

It looks like we don't have a page for "OSS protocol" yet. Would you like to create it?
#
tantek
there's no such thing

software != protocol
#
voxpelli
also: OSS != interoperable
#
tantek
indeed. and often OSS == monoculture

voxpelli
indeed so

#
miklb
cweiske true, but I've seen your interactions in IRC, so I have some basis for formulating an opinion. I do realize not all OSS developers are of completely same mindset as myself though.

depends, is the currently published plugin buggy?

tantek, only on the markup. Display is fine

miklb, look in the plugins class for what you want

GWG, that sounds like you are saying it won't actually work to RSVP. in which case, yes, please fix and publish the fixed version first, then update the docs accordingly. (so the docs don't prematurely encourage installing a buggy version)

or RSVP yes remotely attending

GWG: there is https://indieweb.org/next-hwc#European_time_.28new.21.29 if you can manage those hours

both of those are in /rsvp#Brainstorming FWIW

Maybe bring back the monthly HWC online

I may talk to Chrisaldrich who attended

GWG if you have something to demo, you are always welcome to demo remotely to HWC SF and we can put it on talky.io which I think allows for screensharing
