curious what anyone thinks of the at-mentions in mf2py's changelog: https://github.com/microformats/mf2py/blob/main/docs/changelog.md
#
angelo
them being github-specific feels wrong in a git repo, right?
#
angelo
and even though the issue is totally github-specific it's a URL and that feels less wrong
#

We can remove them.

I used GitHub's release notes summary feature for that.
#
capjamesg
(to generate the whole note)
#

I don't think the names make sense here.
#
angelo
it's kind of nice to have it all packed tightly in one place for glancing
#

the repo is on github, issues and PRs are on github, it's a github project. if we decide at some point in the future to move it, sure, ok, but right now it's there. I wouldn't bother trying to "abstract" it yet
#
[snarfed]
(I have no opinion on whether to @-mention contributors though, up to you all)
#
gRegor
There's contributors.md, could put github @-names in there in addition to the URLs. Generally agreed though, don't need to abstract it much
#
gRegor
At least one zombie domain in there, btw, kylewm dot com :/ https://github.com/microformats/mf2py/blob/main/CONTRIBUTORS.md
#
gRegor
Which I guess is another good reason to add github links in there, he still has https://github.com/kylewm
#
angelo
it occupies an interesting space whereby it isn't an @-mention in a post on your own site, it isn't an @-mention in an issue on GitHub.. both shorthands can be fixed during POSSE/backfeed given the GH context.
#
[snarfed]
the indieweb answer is to use their names and link to their homepages with h-card
#
[snarfed]
(esp since .md files don't get github-specific markdown extras applied, ie don't auto-link @-mentions or issue #s or commits etc)
#
angelo
actually the PRs are auto-shortened in the rendering of that README just as they are in issues (just the number shows, not the full URL)
#
angelo
and in code view the @-mentions are syntax highlighted https://github.com/microformats/mf2py/blob/main/docs/changelog.md?plain=1
#
angelo
of course the git log uses our e-mail addresses which aren't always our indieweb primary domains
