#[miklb]Understandably there’s some hesitation at this point to have a kitchen sink WP plugin, including the existing IndieWeb WordPress plugin. My latest crazy idea is a new “IndiePack” plugin that would auto-install the primary plugins for those looking for a more one-click. I’d love any thoughts https://github.com/indieweb/wordpress-uf2/issues/29#issuecomment-311222003
#Loqi[miklb] So another idea that came to me this evening. A whole new plugin, IndiePack if you will, that is that one click install all the things for someone who wants that and leave the IndieWeb plugin as is with an a la carte install option. Would just be a m...

#j12tThanks KartikPrabhu for an animated (!!) logo for http://indietech.rocks/ . It is live right there, check it out!
#Loqij12t: KartikPrabhu left you a message 1 day, 3 hours ago: do you have any particular colour scheme in mind for indietech.rocks? or I can make one up
#[miklb]I’m adding a field to the WP image attachment screen to allow user to add either u-featured or u-photo class. Instead of just calling the buttons by mf2 name, was trying to come up with a label to differentiate between the 2.
#KartikPrabhuhow about, "use as photo content" and "use as featured image"
#KartikPrabhualso u-photo can be u-featured so they are not mutually exclusive
#[miklb]WordPress has a separate “Featured Image” thing.
#[miklb]OK, now I’m confused. I understood the explanation to be that it was binary.
#KartikPrabhu[miklb]: no. u-photo is for the primary photo content. u-featured is for any image that is a representative image for the post. you can have a photo post where one of the images is used as a representative
#gRegorLoveKartikPrabhu: Are there examples of u-photo also being u-featured? I don't follow that example
#Loqifeatured is a proposed mf2 property (typically as u-featured) for h-entry that indicates a representative image for a primarily textual post https://indieweb.org/featured
#gRegorLoveu-featured on a post full of photos is like selecting a cover image for a collection, so it's corollary to u-featured for text.
#[miklb]I’m just the new guy ? That’s how I understood the explanations.
#KartikPrabhugRegorLove: yeah, that is how I treat them
#KartikPrabhu[miklb]: new opinions are important too ;)
#gRegorLoveThe WordPress UI for featured photos is a really common use case, so I think you're on the right track miklb
#[miklb]KartikPrabhu Sure, I’m full of them ? Just not on the semantics of u-photo vs u-featured.
#KartikPrabhuiirc the "featured" name for the vocabulary was derived from the wordpress use

#[miklb]gRegorLove the thing is, attaching a featured image can be a very different thing than inserting a photo into a post and wanting it to POSSE. I’m trying to tackle from real world expectations.
#[miklb]I mean, for my personal site, I attach a featured image to articles, and then have a function to apply u-featured to those images. But may also write a note and want to POSSE an image with it. I understand and am comfortable editing the class. Those reliant on the RTE, that’s not as much an option.
#KartikPrabhu[miklb]: my point was that "it can be different, but does not *have* to be different"
#[miklb]Well, I could make them checkboxes, but I’m trying to simplify it for a user less familiar with mf2 classes on images. If it’s confusing in a conversation between us, imagine just wanting their photo from their blog post to show up on Facebook.
#[miklb]Not going to care too much if u-featured also applies to a gallery of u-photo
#KartikPrabhu[miklb]: this is my usage. might not be consensus
#gRegorLove"I want to post a photo on my site and to [social site]" is a good use-case. And "I want to post an article that has a featured image" is a good use-case
#gRegorLoveStart with those and you've covered a lot of situations.
#KartikPrabhuI don't think bridgy uses u-featured though
#[miklb]that’s basically how I’m looking at it. But article with an image inserted isn’t same as a WP featured image, thus why I’d like to allow them to add u-featured to such.
#sknebelthey are all the same, just without the #indieweb prefix

#ZegnatAdding channels was specifically disabled, because we want to be able to bridge them. Originally there was a WP channel on Slack before IRC because it was not created by aaronpk.
#ben_thatmustbeme[markmhendrickso: what were you trying to add a channel for?
#[markmhendricksoben_thatmustbeme i was looking just to join channels, not add. above i was clarifying for aaronpk that there's no + icon to add either though (not that i need it). if that makes sense ?
#ben_thatmustbemeit does. I was more asking to see if there was something you needed and if we should change that
#ZegnatOpen question: what (useful) information about someone would you want to store in an address book? Wondering if their are any obvious h-card extensions we are forgetting.
#Loqicontacts refers to a set of people, organizations, groups and anything else with one or more addresses (often URLs) for communication https://indieweb.org/contacts
#sknebeltantek: so you'd e.g. store all rel=me's on a persons home page in their h-card as url?
#ZegnatFunny how that in no way lists “finding a person’s contact information” as a usecase!
#tantekZegnat: because ideally they store that on their on /contact page instead of you storing an out of date cache in your own personal storage
#tantekan address book really should just be 1 list of URLs of people, 2 cache of information from those URLs

#ZegnatAs soon as more people start putting their mailing addresses online that would work. For now, I have to keep a local address book.
#sknebelZegnat: and I guess aditional location properties should also be an option for h-adr. good point
#tantekthen 4 private/offline contact information (given to you privately or when offline, perhaps things not to even sync to default phone addressbooks - because those get compromised etc.)
#ZegnatMy addressbook does not get synct exactly for that reason, yes :)
#tantekthat's worth capturing too - things to explicitly NOT do
#ZegnatAlright, I think I added the three things I use my address book for to the page as usecases

#[eddie]Interesting thought experiment. I take online classes. Of course, the traditional experience in Online Classes nowadays is general once a week or every other week you post in a “Discussion Board” forum, and then you’ll reply to each others posts in some way, generally with some set criteria. So it’s a decent length post of your own thoughts but it’s done “in reply” to another discussion board.
#[eddie]I’ve been POSSE-ing my discussion board original posts, but not my replies. Now I’m wanting to POSSE my replies and thinking through what they might look like. The post I’m replying to is technically private (locked behind Blackboard’s login)
#[eddie]So maybe it’s just specifying the audience like aaronpk has done in the past? Because a “reply” to a private URL doesn’t seem useful
#[eddie]and now I’m not sure if this should be here or in #dev, because this could get potentially technicaly
#aaronpkif you don't mind your reply being public, i don't think it's terrible to show the in-reply-to URL even if that URL isn't public
#[eddie]Yeah, the intention is the reply being public
#[eddie]aaronpk with your “audience” have you done both an “audience” and a “in-reply-to”?
#aaronpki like what I've been doing with the "audience" to show who the message is directed to. i think that helps add context to someone who is not in that audience seeing the post
#[eddie]Yeah I think that’s definitely helpful (especially if the reply URL is private)
#Loqi[Aaron Parecki] I've seen this done a few ways:
• The Device Flow: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-device-flow which is what you see on browserless devices like the Apple TV logging in to a cable provider from your phone. A short code is generated ...
#[eddie]awesome, I’ll save that and use that as inspiration as I work through how to do this on my site
#BigShipI'm still digesting the amount of shared personal information in this community. As a bit of a privacy nut I'm finding it a little hard to cope =P
#[kevinmarks]Are you extending h-card with d&d attributes?
#j12tQuestion about "vouch": If I blog that spammer.com is a great big spammer (and provide the href to spammer.com), does this make it easier for that spammer to get a comment on tantek's blog? (assuming that Tantek trusts me)
#aaronpki thought we had a note about using nofollow or something for vouch
#ZegnatBigShip, I have almost nothing on my page that is not already publicly available through other channels (living in Sweden gives a lot of stuff about me away)
#j12taaronpk: there's a very minor side note on the wiki. Not sure that nofollow is strong enough as an indicator ...
#Zegnat[kevinmarks], will probably be on a separate page. Not sure about going h-card on it yet.
#BigShipZegnat I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I'm just personally uncomfortable with sharing that much info about myself.
#gRegorLoveben_thatmustbeme and my vouch implementations ignore links with nofollow
#BigShipTrying to identify what I'm comfortable having posted publicly.
#j12tnofollow per wikipedia: "...to instruct some search engines that the hyperlink should not influence the ranking of the link's target in the search engine's index"
#j12tI'd do it the other way around: mark up links constituting endorsement with a special tag
#BigShipI'm pretty excited about micropub. Really want to be able to send posts in markdown
ricmac_ joined the channel
#BigShipGoing to have to figure out a way to do that with microformats though...
#aaronpksince there isn't really a canonical markdown, and each site ends up doing it slightly differently, you can just use the plaintext capability of micropub and clients and write markdown in that, rendering it server-side
#aaronpki kind of do that with my own micro-syntax which transforms a few things like @-mentions and bullet lists from asterisks
#[eddie]Zegnat: Will do. Yours is very in-depth, but if anything comes to mind I’ll nudge you ? (Does your profile receive webmentions)
#ZegnatI thought about XFN, sknebel, but not sure who I would want to link too. On one hand I would want to document family et al, but they often do not have URLs
#BigShipIt only really happens to me on mobile when I put the browser app in the background. I think it loses connection when that happens. But yeah otherwise I enjoy it
#gRegorLoveEllo follower spam, that might be a first for me

#[eddie]KartikParbhu: Oh darn it! Thanks for the catch. I refactored how my replies worked (a note with additional markup instead of a separate post type). Must have missed the mf2 markup ?
#KartikPrabhu[eddie]: no worries, you can resend your webmention once you make the changes. Migt site should (hopefully) update the reply
#[eddie]The h-card thing is interesting, because I have a “u-author” with a href to eddiehinkle.com and I have an h-card there. That typically works for most sites
