#
[morganm] Helloooooo Indieweb. I added a new page on my website , `/office-hours : https://www.morganwebdev.org/office-hours/ . I have had several good experiences recently being available for improptu calls and helping people review stuff or just bounce ideas
#
[morganm] what is office hours
#
Loqi office hours is a practice of being available for serendipitous introductions to people you have not met, usually by opening one's calendar app to invites https://indieweb.org/office_hours
#
[morganm] Or I guess I should update that definition a little more
#
[morganm] theres a handful of examples out there

#
Tuffy Hello? :-)
#
Tuffy When editing articles on the wiki, how should one proceed if there are many broken links on a given wiki page?
#
Tuffy Should the links get removed instantly? Should I mention that the link is currently broken and grant it some kind of grace period?
#
Tuffy I actually tried to contact the admin of the site that the link points to, to ask if the content is coming back online but when dealing with wiki sites that act as listings, this is very much work when there are lots of broken links.
#
Tuffy Any advice on this?

tulips oh hey -- HI! I'm totally new here, so hopefully this is the appropriate chat place.
#
tulips exploring here, as I'm getting my indieweb feet wet. 10:12 AM EDT US over here btw
#
tulips well, I'm totally excited about the indieweb, had my eye on it since around 2020, so I'm looking forward to creating my first indieweb site.
#
tulips will check out all the gettting started stuff here + I have a few links from others as to how to do this thang
#
tulips I see there's a zoom gathering this week (East Coast 10/08), so perhaps I'll check in on that
#
tulips ok be good!

GuestZero do you know if there's one of those tilde servers where you can integrate your own domain?

#
[artlung] welcome newcomers! ideally there's an internet archive version of any web page worth referencing. It would be useful to have guidance on the wiki.
#
[artlung] but that kind of careful wiki gardening would be welcome. I certainly think making the wiki better at documenting how the (indie) web works, worked, and may work in the future is a good goal.
#
[artlung] as to the question about tilde pages, check out https://indieweb.org/tilde
#
[artlung] _we also have an eliza style bot you can ask questions of in this chat...._
#
[artlung] what is tilde?
#
Loqi A tilde is a community on a shared *nix server usually run by hobbyists or other independents, named after the leading tilde '~' character for user profiles, and a few IndieWeb community members have accounts on tilde servers; the network of these servers is a or the tildeverse https://indieweb.org/tilde

#
[artlung] There are many of us across many time zones. It's Sunday across the western hemisphere and so we may not be at full cadence but eventually folks will see conversations and respond if there's anything they care to add.
#
tulips yup! I'm originally from LA California, born n raised, so, uh, yep. good to know!
#
tulips I have a handful of How To links, plus the IWC Starter page boomarked to take the next step in my indieweb journey. buuut thot I'd jus pop in here to well say howdy
#
tulips I actually have it in mind to perhaps start a beginners group somewhere for us folks not from the dev community etc, a kind of support group. I'm from the so-called Art World actually.
#
tulips but I'm a BIG fan of thee Indie Spirit ;)
#
[artlung] Awesome tulips - I think beginner focused events sounds great. Hope to have you show to an event in the future. I'll be at (likely hosting) the Eastern event Wednesday) -- I hope to see you there. 🙂

[tantek] Tuffy, tulips, for such discussion about the indieweb community and community tools (rather than direct discussion of indieweb sites and indieweb tools), typically we try to use the #indieweb-meta channel for that. I'll answer a bit there.
