[tantek] definitely no on both 😆 (no consensus, no official legal opinions). maybe we need a legal disclaimer on that page in particular?
#
cupparex what is use case
#
Loqi Because there is as broad an array of types of websites as there are people, a motivating personal factor for joining the IndieWeb may entail a particular use case one has in mind for what they want to do online or how they'd like to interact with others https://indieweb.org/use_case
#
cupparex Is this something that has been dropped or is the idea of it still being explored? I found it interesting last night when I read it.

#
[tantek] it's absolutely critical to focusing our time on our personal sites
#
[tantek] conceptually at least. the page itself, like many, could probably use some gardening
#
cupparex [tantek]: Once I get things fully implemented and get all my notes organized, I'd love to write some stuff from the perspective of a newcomer to the space. And I plan to help with broken links since I like playing wiki page roulette lol

[artlung] Many hands make light work, they say, but kudos for that goal cupparex++

Loqi cupparex has 4 karma in this channel over the last year (7 in all channels)
#
[tantek] we need a roulette wheel emoji 😂 dice 🎲 was the best I could come up with for the random wiki page.
#
[artlung] I _sort_ of made a roulette wheel in css (and a wee bit of Js) https://artlung.com/wwo/15/
#
cupparex [tantek]: hey it worked. caught my attention way down at the bottom. I like to really dig into sites and look at all the things
#
cupparex [artlung]: that's cute, but some of the top 20 suprise me
#
cupparex [edit] [artlung]: that's cute, but some of the top 30 suprise me
#
[artlung] Yeah, no disclosure as to how they determined that! So… yes.
#
cupparex [artlung]: what is that blue one? a bandaid or a skateboard?
#
cupparex i found it - bandaid

hacdias Hi! My website's domain seems to have gotten blocked by https://news.indieweb.org/en - is there a reason for it? I've just noticed now, but it probably happened around May.
#
hacdias I was just scrolling through the logs and saw a few posts that I had syndicated this year to the IndieNews didn't make it through 😅

[Jo]4 What's your website?
#
hacdias It's hacdias.com
#
[Jo]4 Cool website!
#
hacdias Thank you!
#
[Jo]4 I can't imagine you're blocked, maybe the posts weren't marked up correctly or something?

cupparex @tantek the information on profile templates is on the wikifying page, but it took me 5 forevers to locate that information. Is there a way to make a profile template page that points to the wikifying section or would moving that information to a profile template page be better? User experience wise this is what happened. I went to make my profile and I had never done anything related to a wiki. I remembered seeing something about
#
cupparex (and by wikifying section, I mean the section discussing templates on the wikifying page) When I read that part back it felt weird so just clarifying what I meant
#
Loqi hey cupparex, would you mind moving this more technical conversation (template, templates) to #indieweb-dev? thanks!

#
cupparex what's the best practice for a sparkline name for the wiki? Chat Name or my name (since that's also my main blog name) I've seen it both ways and community wise, is there a preference?
[Murray] joined the channel
#
[Murray] I don't think there's a strong preference either way, as you say both are common. I typically use(d) my chat name, as I felt it kept things internally consistent within the Wiki itself, but either is fine 🙂

#
[tantek] Typically we’ve encouraged chatname for your profile template
#
Loqi friendly reminder [tantek] gRegor, that's a lot of dev jargon! template... can you move to #indieweb-dev?
#
gRegor Yep, https://indieweb.org/Tutorial-set-up-your-personal-wiki-template
#
gRegor shush Loqi, it's a link
#
gRegor gives Loqi a link
#
Loqi puts on the link
#
[tantek] hmm should we drop "template" from jargon because of the wiki use-case?
#
[tantek] gives Loqi a jargon exception
#
Loqi runs away from the jargon exception
#
[tantek] lol
#
gRegor haha
