@jackyalcine↩️ AJ's up and ported over the standards of IndieWeb to a friendly page (soon to be available on the main site).
ANDD he made some improvements to lazymention, a service for static sites to send out WebMentions (trust me - this is a blessing of a service)

@jackyalcine↩️ We got a talk-through from Lovi of how a Gen 4 got themselves to make a Indie RSVP for this year's summit!
All done with BeaverBuilder!

@sdepolo↩️ Next steps for my #IndieWeb goals:
1. setting up a simplified WordPress post template for quick easy text-only posts
2. finding and configuring the tools I heard about to create new WordPress posts from Instagram posts. (twitter.com/_/status/1012131702011879424)
@jackyalcine↩️ Thanks for tuning in and/or coming!
I'll have a condensed re-cap post soon with alllll of the links, toot/tweet threads and what not.
Thanks for joining.

@xolotlComing away from #IndieWebSummit, I've been thinking about what helps newcomers care about taking control of their digital lives. The 1st clear answer is: there is not just one answer. 2nd: I'm still thinking a domain of one's own #DoOO gives people "skin in the game". WDYT? (twitter.com/_/status/1012180772889849857)
LoqiIt looks like we don't have a page for "indiewebring" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "indiewebring is ____", a sentence describing the term)
[jgmac1106]indiewebring is the great rebirth of of webrings powered by #IndieWeb technology that made 2018 the year of the webring and not the year of the MicroSub reader. Webrings allow ringmasters to create a network of blogs around a shared goal where readers can choose the next, previous, and random blog in the ring.

[jgmac1106]So my spelling mistakes and now going wheels up from #pdx will give stub proper treatment when I land (meaning background images, inline styling, and gifs everywhere.
schmartyfwiw I would like to drop the “master” name from indieweb webring stewardship, gardening, management, etc. so far “ringbearer” hits me the best
ZegnatAt my first IWC I walked someone through setting up the GitHub client and atom code editor so they could play with HTML. Onboarding is a great part of the events!
ZegnatI am sad I seem to have missed out one of the discussions about my h-card and gender page by going to the kitchen... Someone will have to catch me up on it at some point. 😉
@jgmac1106About to go wheels up to Hartford, what a great #IndieWebSummit excited for upcoming HWC. Going to make it to Baltimore soon. Busy planning for #IndieWebCamp NYC. Stay tuned.

[jgmac1106]Sounds like a perfect opportunity. Been doing the vHWC during summer but once semester starts they will be on the ground. May have a cool IWC announcement very soon..... Teaser
[wiobyrne]I currently lead a group of students through website/portfolio development each summer. I'll soon be the only "tech person" in my dept. I've been thinking about identifying a spot in the week to hold "open office hours" and offering a HWC downtown.
Loqi[indienews] New post: "I Went to The IndieWeb Summit 2018!
Getting to put name to face and ask immediate questions about tooling is
invaluable.
I attended my first IndieWeb Summit in Portland this ..." https://jacky.wtf/weblog/indieweb-summit-2018/
LoqiIt looks like we don't have a page for "syndication targets" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "syndication targets is ____", a sentence describing the term)
[kim_landwehr]When I go into quill I keep getting the message “no syndication targets were found on your site. I don’t know what I need to do to fix this (or if I even need to)
[manton]@jmac Nice write-up about IndieWeb Summit! I wanted to comment on your question about Micro.blog being "yet another" silo. The point is to get people to post short posts to their own domain name. Aren't you currently posting those to Twitter instead? So moving from Twitter to anything else that's IndieWeb-friendly is a big step forward, in my opinion.
[jgmac1106]Almost everyone I have ever come into contact comes to their own domain from a shared platform. Most folks here are probably no different, live journal, geocities, MySpace, for me my first blogging platform was just my schools website and updating individual files. Then blogger
aaronpkdonpdonp: anomalily's post when she RSVP'd didn't have the author info, but it looks like there was some progress yesterday on getting that sorted out. except now the post lost the in-reply-to
[jgmac1106]I think stuff like micro.blog is essential to the ecosystem. Its about does it have ethical values that align to IndieWeb for me, allowing syndication, portability, etc
ZegnatIf it got accepted in the first place, then we would have known if the authorship was a problem or not, sknebel. Only 1 edge case kept it from being accepted. But I am fine with that.
[manton]Yep. This is really something we need to do a better job of explaining. Both to people already familiar with the IndieWeb but also to new people who are just starting to blog.
[manton]@jmac No need to re-word it. I don't think what you said is wrong, just that if you're using Twitter instead of your own domain name for short posts, then Micro.blog is (I think) much better. I don't think about it as moving to a silo (although there are silo-like things about it, especially with replies) but encouraging people to move to their own domain name.
donpdonpZegnat: im not :). i misunderstood 'my RSVP didn’t get accepted at all' as a problem to investigate instead of 'im using an implemented feature' :)
jmac(Actually I should update my entry to note that [jgmac1106] and I agreed that our usernames are not at all mutually confusing and everyone else is wrong about this)
[chrisaldrich]GWG has already built himself a better solution, with post kinds he can add the individual feed kinds to syndicate to micro.blog. Thus kind/note/feed/ for example will syndicate all of his notes. Syndicating via categories or tags if others use them is certainly another way to do it.
[chrisaldrich][nate658] I saw a note in the #chat channel and not sure you got an answer. If you'd like a wiki template so you show up in the IRC chat with your avatar, you can copy/paste mine and change the relevant parts: https://indieweb.org/Template:chrisaldrich
[chrisaldrich]jmac, I may have used the phrase "built another silo" at the Summit myself in reference to gRegorLove's micropub client, but it was said with a lot of love and a gallon of snark. 😉
chrisaldrich!tell jalcine Did you mean to have the word "not" in your first paragraph in relation to updating your website or did autocorrect change it from "absolutely"? ;)
@aaronpkThanks so much to everyone who participated in #IndieWebSummit this year, both in person and remotely! It was really inspiring to see so many people who care about owning their online presence together! #indieweb (twitter.com/_/status/1012391786130489345)
[chrisaldrich]teacup, micro.blog, and indiebookclub.biz are storing information though, in the eventuality that people may go more indie at a later date and want to export it to their own site (or another host/site).
LoqiIt looks like we don't have a page for "IndieSilo" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "IndieSilo is ____", a sentence describing the term)
[chrisaldrich]An IndieSilo is a website (typically a web based [[micropub]] client) that stores data on behalf of people who may not have their own website yet, but who may want to be able to store it now and import it to their site at a later date.
[wiobyrne]Does anyone have ideas about an open source version of Google Docs (or fully functioning etherpad) solution that I could use for writing/editing/revising? I've mentioned in the past my desire to fully put my writing process online, and "own" it all. For now, most/all writing begins/ends in a Google Doc. If possible...I'd like to change that, but I need better options.
LoqiA draft in the context of the indieweb refers to a draft post, a post that an author has partially written, or otherwise does not consider finished https://indieweb.org/draft
[wiobyrne]Thanks snarfed. My typical writing process for a "traditional pub" involves heavy use of Google Docs. I can invite colleagues to write, I can share it out with others to allow them to easily leave feedback. My issue is that I'm all on the Google silo.
[wiobyrne]Hmmm...so you think I could start up a collaborative post, share with a colleague, send it out for review openly online...and export when needed later?
snarfed[wiobyrne]: afaik wordpress doesn't do realtime collab like gdocs, which is maybe the key difference. maybe gutenberg (new editor) does? probably not though
LoqiIt looks like we don't have a page for "editorially" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "editorially is ____", a sentence describing the term)
[wiobyrne]As an example, I'm writing a book on open pedagogy with [jgmac1106] and we have a Google Drive folder with tons of gDocs for chapters. We'll use versions with this. Ultimately, it'll get sent to the publisher and we can send out "books" using a number of tools. But, I'm wondering if there is a better way to write than Google Docs right now.
[wiobyrne]I was also thinking about some markdown editors that can sync across spaces. But, then I'm (possibly) eliminating the ability to collaborate and share...which is important for my workflow.
[wiobyrne]Absolutely. I think Draft is almost there. The versioning and "real time" edits are a bit different, and not as intuitive as gDocs. But, perhaps it'll make you focus on your writing as opposed to where people's cursors are flying.
ZegnatI am paying for the storage. It is not going to archive.org, though I am considering pinging the internet archive from the tool. To have another backup
ZegnatI will also prune it at some point, not guaranteeing any permanence for the moment! Though you can just save the archived pages to your disk if you want to keep them.
[jgmac1106][wiobyrne] [nate658] showed [chrisaldrich] and I some cool options. But its just you and I editing, books going in the Public Domain or CC-BY_SA have to check with publisher. Part of the reason we chose gDocs was being accessible. It ain't Open to our audience if it is only on GitHub
[jgmac1106]The Zotero Pub plugin, looked cool but an Open Pedagogy booked published on indieweb.org and then syndicated to our blogs the to print might be a neat story in itself. Will have to ask and it means writing in wiki markup but that is easy, would mean a Public Domain license 100%. Need to read the publishers terms, but I think it is fine. I'll ask around. I have an empty mediawiki install just laying around somewhere as well
[wiobyrne]My next Indieweb project is to better display my "traditional" pubs on my website. Mostly all PDFs, but I'd like to see an interface on my site that links to pages with the PDF, the Google Doc (writing space), data (images, video, text, etc.), and possibly text from reviewer comments. All of this would also display mentions from online.
[wiobyrne]The first step, for me, is revisiting the writing piece/tools. I was digging Hackpad before Dropbox bought them. Etherpad may be too clunky for this. May stick to Google Docs for now.
[nate658][wiobyrne] I think it’s hard to beat gdocs for collaborative draft editing, but for online book publication in WordPress, I’d recommend https://pressbooks.org
LoqiWelcome to the home of the Pressbooks Open Source project.
Pressbooks is a book content management system that exports in multiple formats: ebooks, webbooks, print-ready PDF, and various XML flavours. The system is built on top of WordPress Multisite...
[wiobyrne]Will most likely continue to use Google Docs, share from our sites, and give opportunities to use PressBooks or other tools to make their own texts.
@gRegorLoveBack in San Diego after another great #IndieWebSummit. Reflecting on some personal goals for the next year and ideas to expand the indieweb community. (twitter.com/_/status/1012440443466997763)
@wiobyrne↩️ Hey, thanks for the response. I'd like to bookmark a site, then read/annotate later in browser using @hypothes_is. Then share as bookmark post on my #indieweb site with interesting pull quotes from piece for future reference. I'd like to "properly" display these from annotations.
