we are building the badging platform for Downe’s elearning 3.0 class.
#
[chrisaldrich]
By individual badge files you mean a new page for each user? Why not one page per badge on one url? Unless you're doing custom badges per user it seems like a lot of extra work.
#
jgmac1106
for one
#
jgmac1106
even though it’s open I still believe in a bit of privacy when it comes to assessment
#
jgmac1106
I think I would be covered by FERPA but if people take class for credit….
#
[chrisaldrich]
If that's the case you'll need all the pages to be private and private Webmentions, n'cest pas?
#
jgmac1106
I can explaiin in -dev, but have a simple be ready right away…and a goal of building the platform as we go and testing along the way…this would bethe whole shebang

That's alright my phone is dying... ;) can't wait to see it though.
#
[jgmac1106]
we use a disclaimer, fokls know they are taking a MOOC, big biz quotes Dave Cormier wrong all the time. The M in MOOC modified Open, as in Massively open, it was never meant to refer to size of class. It took VC money to make that definition.
#
[jgmac1106]
but there will be a disclosure about open data. More personal philosophy, that one url, represents one person, represents one badge.. and you just don't mix up people with measurement even in open classes

What is IPFS?

IPFS is short for InterPlanetary File System, potentially a static site storage method using content based addressing https://indieweb.org/IPFS

This is what I made during today’s HWC in NYC:
#
[dmitshur]
(Just a simple form. The backend isn’t completely ready, so it won’t work at this time.)
#
KartikPrabhu
[dmitshur]: this is to createa new repo on your site?
#
KartikPrabhu
I also start by creating simple HTML forms first and then doing the backend :)
#
[dmitshur]
Previously, I had to create them manually. Which included like 4 steps (create bare git repo, create issue tracker for it, subscribe myself to its issue tracker, post a “repo created” event to my activity stream). So I wanted to automate it under a single button press.
#
[dmitshur]
The backend is like 95% done (from a few days ago), just not 100% yet. :)

Hi [jgmac1106] :) I might pen a response to your picture/photo blog post, see if I can shine some light on the tech side :)
#
[jgmac1106]
Thx, I got some feedback on mixing up consumption and posting
#
[jgmac1106]
And I do think itvis driven by how I do photos. Which is still print them.. Takes a lot in my mind to elevate a pic to photography

Oh gosh I really want to hand roll my own site but WordPress with plugins is doing the job well enough.
#
[jgmac1106]
[chegalabonga] I think I am going to do a halfway approach. Use static pages for content and throw a Known blog on a subdomain... WordPress never worked for me
#
Loqi
[Greg McVerry] Finally realized why educators fell in love with Google+ It was webmentions before we knew what webmentions were. We all had GAFE, we all had Hangouts, we all used Blogger. I posted on my blog and it went to my network. Someone commented on my netwo...
#
[jgmac1106]
Finally figured out why us teachers fell in love with G+. It was near perfect learning network
#
[chegalabonga]
[jgmac1106] Ah k. Interesting. I had a laravel-based one couple years ago and for whatever reasons i moved to WP and lost that codebase. Classic me
#
[chegalabonga]
I love the idea of building my own and implementing these protocols, but know its gonna be a long process.
#
[jgmac1106]
Yeah people talked me out of it at IWC NYC, I really wanted to give Perch Runway a spin

[Rose] and @petermolnar talking about getting a Grav project going
#
Zegnat
Rose and jeremycherfas are both already running Grav websites
#
[jgmac1106]
Yeah @zegnat without getting - devy they want to make tools for others. May have been Jeremy and not Peter
#
Zegnat
For the most past, [chegalabonga], whether you are rebuilding in Laravel, sticking to WordPress, or anything else. If you are running your own website you are plenty part of IndieWeb already :D

petermolnar
jgmac1106: the whole store from my side is that I maintain friends/family WordPress sites, and I fear the coming changes - it'll break their familiarity and a hell lot of the plugins. As a result, I started looking at other CMS systems again - initially I did that for myself, when I considered getting off WordPress the first time. At that time grav was without a GUI; it now has one, so I though it might be a very good start for homepag
#
petermolnar
e-like sites, and it could be made indieweb-friendly with not much work.
#
petermolnar
it's not the most ideal site for streams, though it can do it.
[Rose] joined the channel
#
[Rose]
I quite like Grav, we're implementing it at work for documentation
#
petermolnar
btw, I remember the reasons why I changed from my own CMS to WordPress a decade ago; interesting to see those reasons fade away from it and manifest themselves in another CMS. (Easy to extend, simple, obvious to use)

of those who use webmention.io for handling webmention: what do you do with pingback spam, that slips though?
#
petermolnar
It's one of those things I haven't considered: I'm storing incoming comments as md+frontmatter as well, so if I want to mark it as spam, I'd still need to keep some information about it.

tonz
of course now the challenge is to pick something halfway doable :)

Zegnat
Just reading that, your tweet was mirrored to #indieweb-meta :D
#
Zegnat
I know for a fact there will be some people interested in discussing point 10
#
Zegnat
Also, tonz: thanks for updating the wiki with arrival time on Friday! We are leaning towards making it a late dinner so the late arrivers can get some food into them
#
tonz
@zegnat you're welcome! Discussing point 10 would be great. It's one of my longstanding wishes for social media, self-run granular access/sharing.

@jgmac Is gRSShoper open source, a third-party hosted service, or both?

@kevinmarks, thanks for that Brizzly note. I remember it fondly from the early days of Twitter. Hilarious to see how it's been repurposed.

I saw Jason at xoxo, which was nice
[eddie] and tantek joined the channel
#
chrisaldrich
@kevinmarks, any chance that Jason might consider making Brizzly a micropub/microsub client? Given it's history as a multisite posting client (and codebase) and it's current state, it might be a worthwhile project and it certainly had a nice UI to begin with.
#
[jgmac1106]
[chrisaldrich] open source, I think I forked it yesterday.

If not I will building all my template webmention badges in there

Jacky Downes will make up words without knowing if those words mean something in the dev space

It almost sounds like gRSShopper could be a micropub client too....

I don't really want to though. In spite of themselves, I still like content from my friends there.
