tantek
not technically, maybe abstractly
#
GWG
It has an order to it.
#
GWG
I published one
#
tantek
I thought indiewebpress was a website
#
GWG
Although considering my tendency to not finish things, it ended up very collection like.
#
GWG
tantek, I think having a concept of a Series is a valid one. I have another I need to mark up as such and I think I may introduce the similar concept of collections
#
GWG
I need to develop the definition and implementation
#
GWG
Someone else did a website by that name. For me, it is a series of articles
#
tantek
GWG, yes I posted a series like that in 2015, daily journaling of my time at sea on a cruise
#
tantek
only got to part 5 of 8
#
tantek
I agree a series makes sense conceptually
#
tantek
but I think it is more complex than either of our two examples
#
chrisaldrich
Newspapers and Magazines will often do series of articles like these if you need additional examples.
#
GWG
I need to figure out what makes it unique
#
tantek
GWG, or rather, what makes it explicitly a 'series'
#
tantek
apparently only 4 of 8. the 5th one I never finished writing

sounds like the ordering is the key difference. series posts are intended to be consumed in an author-defined order. collections may be consumed in any order. (?)
#
tantek
author(s) e.g. 24ways.org
#
tantek
snarfed - also 24ways.org is an example of not necessarily needing to be consumed in order
[snarfed] joined the channel
#
[snarfed]
so it's...a collection? :P
#
tantek
snarfed, is an advent calendar a collection or a series?

#
GWG
Is a series an ordered collection?
#
KartikPrabhu
are collections unordered?
#
KartikPrabhu
has been doing a lot of ordering today!

these discussions are academic (philosophical, handwavy, nearly useless) until you share examples to talk about

nevermind the comments. seems like even /Medium has succumbed to crap comments
eli_oat, Sveta_ and [kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
[kevinmarks]
There is a distinction between things that are part of a collection and things that should be read/listened to/watched in order.
#
GWG
tantek: We both have the example of a trip report in parts
#
GWG
That is one of my existing uses
#
KartikPrabhu
is anything consuming these "series" different from a "collection"
qcSpydar007 joined the channel
#
GWG
Not yet. But I want to start posting more serial content.
#
tantek
we have a bunch of existing examples I suggest reviewing / analyzing KartikPrabhu
#
tantek
e.g. what is 100days
#
[kevinmarks]
Apple made this distinction for podcasts: episodic vs serial http://podcasts.apple.com/resources/spec/ApplePodcastsSpecUpdatesiOS11.pdf
#
tantek
what is 100 days
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "100 days" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "100 days is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
tantek
what is 100daysofindieweb
#
Loqi
100DaysOfIndieWeb is a challenge to ship something IndieWeb-related every day for 100 days https://indieweb.org/100DaysOfIndieWeb
#
[kevinmarks]
100 days is not usually serial in that sense
#
tantek
in what sense?
#
[kevinmarks]
Expected to be read in sequence - depending on previous episodes
[miklb] joined the channel
#
[miklb]
a music record is a collection of songs (generally) meant to be listened in order.
#
tantek
[miklb]: well the good ones are anyway
#
[kevinmarks]
Yes and no. An album has a sequence, but it isn't serial like an opera.
#
tantek
[kevinmarks]: I don't think I agree. whether created in sequence or expected to be read in sequence, if there is something seguential about the intent of the set, I think they can be considered series
#
tantek
[kevinmarks]: except an opera album :P
#
[kevinmarks]
Maybe there is a third distinction of narrative
#
[kevinmarks]
Collection them sequence then narrative
#
tantek
[kevinmarks]: also some of the 100days series that people posted were at least semi-ordered
#
tantek
like you had to read some of the earlier posts (in the series) for some of the latter posts to make sense
#
[kevinmarks]
Maybe the distinction is spoilers
#
[kevinmarks]
You don't always need to experience a series in order, but you get more when you do, whereas with a narrative, you will be thrown off because you are expected to know what happened earlier

To think that the problem in this whole debacle is Facebook’s business model is to think that subscription fees - the only non-advertising alternative -would be better. The real problem here is the *absence* of non-corporate, alternative infrastructures for organizing our lives.

chrisaldrich
What is a person?
#
Loqi
A person tag (AKA people tag) is a person mention that is also a tag on a post that refers to a specific person by URL rather than just a word or phrase, and is done as an explicit tagging action by the user, beyond just mentioning a person via hyperlink / h-card / or @-name, autocompleted or not https://indieweb.org/person
#
chrisaldrich
This quote from Mashable almost makes me want to explicitly define the difference between the two from an indieweb perspective:
#
chrisaldrich
A favorite editor of mine hated that word, "users," because it made it sound as though we were talking about something other than people. I can agree with that, but also see now that "users" is the word of moment: Facebook's problems extend forever out of the idea that we are all different clumps of data generation. Human life is incidental.

"Mat mentioned IndieWeb, and when I first research it, there's almost too much for me to read: the grassroots effort has spawned a sprawling wiki and dozens of web sites. There are principles, how-to pages, protocol specifications, history, and nobody in charge of any of it. It's decentralized, self-organizing, and rapidly changing.
