[chrisaldrich] What is RSS?
#
Loqi RSS is a set of XML feed file formats of varying degrees of use for syndicating time-stamped content from web sites, and sometimes used to refer more broadly to feed file formats as a whole including Atom, or even more broadly in vernacular as a synonym for feed file or even feeds or syndication as a concept https://indieweb.org/RSS

[chrisaldrich] What is a typewriter?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "typewriter" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "typewriter is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek] what is a printer
#
Loqi printer is a low-cost device that runs proprietary software, consumes thin sheets of dead plant matter, and makes marks on them, often with ink sold in expensive proprietary cartridges specifically designed to create recurring revenue to the manufacturer of the device https://indieweb.org/printer
#
[tantek] typewriter is like a [[printer]] that has little or no software, and usually uses ink fromindustry standard sized spools or cartridge, that only works by direct console access with manual text entry and linebreaks.
#
Loqi ok
#
aaronpk Well those two pages could use some IndieWeb relevance in their definitions ;-)

[KevinMarks] Andy McMillan has been making chloeweil.com static. This post about archiving her family history is very poignant. https://chloeweil.com/blog/our-ragged-history/index.html
#
GWG I enjoyed meeting Chloe. I wish we'd gotten more opportunities to talk.

mayakate[m] Would anyone be interested in reading a bit about Ravelry and personal sites? I'm starting to learn how to crochet and it seems of interest to Indieweb-kinds-of-folks that it features both:
#
mayakate[m] * some personal site integration (link your site from your profile, and it discovers, pulls, and parses your RSS feed so you can link a blog post to a project or yarn)
#
mayakate[m] * a ton of structured data (patterns, yarns, projects, all with careful taxonomies)

[KevinMarks] that sounds neat - do you mean a blog post or a wiki page here?
