#@jackyalcine↩️ AJ's up and ported over the standards of IndieWeb to a friendly page (soon to be available on the main site).

#ZegnatThe URL is accessible, shows it is in progress,and shows the number of pending webmentions
#ZegnatEventually the page will say it has completed the task
#Zegnat[chrisaldrich], glad you get some use out of me writing :D
#@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!

#[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.

#Zegnatsyndication targets are (in the context of [[Micropub]] places you want a post to be [[syndicated]] to.
#[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)
#ZegnatQuill asks your Micropub endpoint for possible targets, and you probably do not have any.
[jgmac1106] joined the channel
#ZegnatThis way it could show you options for “copy to Twitter” etc, if your server supports it
#[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.
#donpdonpanomalily's rsvp has an author name and url but the rsvp section doesnt show it. not sure why.
#[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
#Zegnatdonpdonp: my RSVP didn’t get accepted at all
#ZegnatThough that was just me being an edge case again
#chrisaldrichmanton++ for that ^^ huge semantic difference
#Loqimanton has 49 karma in this channel (54 overall)
#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.
#aaronpk[jgmac1106]: micro.blog is kind of confusing in that way at first, because it's doing two separate things.
#aaronpkon one hand it's a blog hosting platform, where you can either use a custom domain or they can provide a micro.blog subdomain
#aaronpkon the other hand, it's a social network that lets you read content from other micro.blog users aggregated together
#[jgmac1106]And wordpress.com tries to do the same thing, and it confuses my students as well
#[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.
#[jgmac1106]I think it is pretty cool to see a paid community model succeed.
#[jgmac1106]I love that I get to syndicate to micro.blog as well because...RSS
#[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' :)

#[jgmac1106]@jmac speaks to governance model as well it was a great session you did.
#donpdonpif the remote streams were their own event, rsvp'ing to that with yes seems reasonable.
#jmac[jgmac1106]: I'm not sure what session you mean - are you confusing me with [jgmac1106]?
#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)
#[jgmac1106]Yep. Had a long conversation with Ben about it.
#[jgmac1106]I came home and tree fell and caused house fire down street. No internet, so can't really engage well
#[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.

#[wiobyrne]I realized that I didn't' list myself on the IRC People page.
#[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)
#[tantek]Chris Aldrich is it really a silo if it doesn’t store any information?
#[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.
#snarfed[wiobyrne]: yes! all doable with wordpress too. collaboration, revision tracking, shared private drafts, etc
#snarfed(quill is more for one shot posting, probably not what you want)
#[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
#[wiobyrne]As an example, I was thinking of a tool like Draft (https://draftin.com/) or perhaps a common writing spot in GitHub.
#snarfedsounds like you want a real writing tool though, not github
#[wiobyrne]When I was doing stuff with Mozilla they tried to usher us into GitHub or EtherPad for writing & collaborating.
#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.
#snarfedbetter, maybe. better *and* open source, doubtful.
#[wiobyrne]Draft.in might be a good option. I need to spend more time looking at where/how it syncs and is saved.
#[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.
#ZegnatReally simple to toggle visibility with key frames. Not sure I feel good about it though, strugee 😉
#[jgmac1106]And eventually it will have micropub? Is it going to archive.org? Don't want to tax it if you are piggybacking on any free tier of storage

#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
#Loqipdf has -1 karma in this channel (-6 overall)
#[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.

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.
