just realized that Swarm includes a timestamp "editable until" in checkins, implying they only support edits for a brief period

[miklb]
that would be a good idea for Twitter. Brief window to fix typos, then frozen in time
#
jjuran
A preview step would also help.

snarfed: I think I gave you what you wanted, but in a completely different and better way.

GWG: great! context?

[dshanske] #92 Store Generated Content in Excerpt when Support for Microformats2 or Post Kind is Declared
#
snarfed
ok, thanks!
#
GWG
I have been trying to figure out how to find the version number for a plugin and how to simulate same if the plugin isn't installed.
#
GWG
That was annoying me
#
GWG
So I found something more user friendly.

Have we ever set down acceptable properties for RSVPs? I am looking for them.
#
GWG
I am finding a lot of inconsistency
#
Zegnat
What is RSVP?
#
Loqi
An RSVP is a reply to an event post that says whether the sender is or is not attending, might attend, or is just interested in the event https://indieweb.org/rsvp
#
GWG
So, is there a defined vocabulary or not?
#
sknebel
"yes", "no", "maybe", "interested". Case-insensitive values, normalized to lowercase.
#
GWG
I support yes, no, maybe.
#
GWG
Chrisaldrich wants interested.
#
Zegnat
The one sknebel just gave is what http://microformats.org/wiki/h-entry#p-rsvp defines
#
Loqi
[Tantek Çelik] h-entry is a simple, open format for episodic or datestamped content on the web. h-entry is often used with content intended to be syndicated, e.g. blog posts. h-entry is one of several open microformat standards suitable for embedding data in HTML. ...
#
GWG
pfefferle has 'tracking'
#
aaronpk
I think that's what "interested" is supposed to be for
#
GWG
I have never seen tracking, but he got in early, maybe it was still under debate
#
GWG
Then I saw some discussion about remote
#
sknebel
yes, that's in experimental use
#
sknebel
aaronpk: do the IWC sites consider remote?
#
Zegnat
I wonder if I used remote once.
#
sknebel
Zegnat: according to the wiki you did
#
aaronpk
no i've never consumed that property
#
GWG
So, I should... first support interested, and second do a PR to replace tracking with interested?
#
Zegnat
Good for the wiki to remember it for me, sknebel :) haha
#
Loqi
ahaha
#
GWG
Does anyone consume tracking?
#
Zegnat
Ah, yes, I am using remote as an addition. So "remote yes", "remote no", "remote interested", etc. This means my RSVPs should work with older systems, and newer ones can pick-up on the fact that I am not going to be there in person.
#
GWG
My system won't pick it up, I think
#
GWG
It does a direct string comparison
#
Zegnat
Oh, right, older systems do not. It isn’t space separated.
#
Zegnat
Not sure what I was thinking.
#
Zegnat
Direct string comparison is correct, GWG
#
GWG
Shouldn't it be two properties then?
#
sknebel
It kind of makes sense for "remote yes" being different and not reigster as "yes" for systems that don't support it
#
sknebel
since you don't want to reserve space, order food, ... for on-site participants
#
Zegnat
See here for my proposal for space separated values: https://indieweb.org/rsvp#What_value_could_be_used_to.3F
#
GWG
Why not remote-yes as opposed to space?
