#
[Fresno] Hi everyone
#
[Fresno] Lovely community!
#
barnaby greetings [Fresno]
#
[Fresno] Thanks! I'm new here, Checking the environment... still not sure about what makes a website part of the indie web or of the corporative web
#
[Fresno] anyone cares to explain?
#
barnaby if you own the domain and have control over the content, it’s part of the indieweb! and then there are various formats and protocols we use to let our sites interop with each other
#
barnaby do you have a personal site?
#
[Fresno] I'm interested
#
[Fresno] not actually, but I administer many sites for my clients
#
[Fresno] and communities I m part of
#
[Fresno] (I don't speak english natively so please let me know if I am not clear)
#
[Fresno] I have a client now that uses wordpress and is looking for a better (more ethical and optimal) way of posting news
#
barnaby is wordpress not ethical?
#
[Fresno] optimal ^efficient
#
barnaby ah, I see
#
[Fresno] I'm not sure, I've been told different things
#
[Fresno] I have nothing against it personally, but maybe there's something better
#
[Fresno] I work with sociologists and journalists and they need their wysiwyg
#
[Fresno] so wordpress it is
#
[Fresno] but other techies roll their eyes every time I say it , so I'm affraid I made a bad choice
#
[aciccarello] We have plenty of people who use wordpress to power their sites.
#
barnaby we have some wordpress experts here, it’s not a bad platform to set up an indieweb personal site on
#
GWG We need more people helping with the UI
#
[Fresno] anyway... I'd like to know more about the various formats and protocols we use to let our sites interop with each other
#
barnaby not my platform of choice for most projects, but honestly it’s hard to recommend anything else for a lot of web projects
#
[aciccarello] What are protocols?
#
Loqi protocols on the IndieWeb, such as Webmention, IndieAuth, Micropub, WebSub, and Microsub are standard ways for sites & services to interact with each other and user interfaces on the web or native apps, though sometimes errantly used by some technologists to refer to any kind of even proposed standard, format, or API, and in other contexts may refer to a series of steps to follow, such as a script, checklist, or recipe https://indieweb.org/protocols
#
barnaby https://indieweb.org/Category:building-blocks has a list
#
[aciccarello] Ah yes, building-blocks has a more friendly list
#
[Fresno] alright, I have a lot to investigate
#
[Fresno] I'll come back when I have read some
#
barnaby [Fresno]: feel free to ask questions if anything is unclear, we’re always trying to improve the wiki
#
barnaby and #indieweb-dev is a better place for technical questions
#
[Fresno] thank, you, @barnaby and [aciccarello]!
