schmarty seems nicely indieweb-adjacent. particularly being about news, as we encourage journalists to POSSE.

#
aaronpk whoa mediawiki did a thing i never knew it did before
#
aaronpk if you type a page name like [[collection]]s with the "s" outside the double brackets, it includes the "s" in the hyperlinked text but links to the singular page name
#
aaronpk whoa it does it for any suffix
#
aaronpk e.g. [[person-tag]]ged
#
aaronpk -> <a href="/person-tag">person-tagged</a>
#
tantek yes I've been doing that for a while :)
#
tantek (deliberately)
#
aaronpk I dont' think I've seen that before. I just remember seeing a bunch of plural wiki page names being created
#
aaronpk probably for IRC autolinking
#
tantek you might have noticed that those stopped being created at some point :)
#
aaronpk i don't think there's a clever solution to that tho
#
tantek and then much later I started to actually distinguish
#
tantek e.g. /like is a single like. /likes is about the display/interaction of the set of likes on a post
#
tantek started with the /reply vs /comments distinction and moved on from there
#
aaronpk heh
#
tantek same with /repost vs /reposts
#
tantek and /rsvp vs /rsvps (which I may have created around the time I got displaying of rsvps working on my event posts)
#
tantek each of those obv disambiguates and links to its other

#
tantek [chrisaldrich]: while you're here, did you see and/or apply for or make plans for that memory hole conference?
#
tantek sounds journalism related and figured you'd be interested
#
[chrisaldrich] I
#
[chrisaldrich] i'm still thinking about going up for it, but haven't gotten flights yet as there are still some things floating around relating to the recent move.
#
[chrisaldrich] It was a great experience last year and I met some really great people from higher education, libraries, museums, newspapers/journalism, and a few other random walks of life.
#
tantek you went last year?
#
tantek to https://www.rjionline.org/events/dodging-the-memory-hole-2017 at the Internet Archive?
#
[chrisaldrich] Yes, I caught both days of it last year, but it was much closer and hosted at UCLA about 45 minutes from me.
#
tantek let me know if you need a place to crash
#
[chrisaldrich] They move the location every year and it's at the Internet Archive this year.
#
[chrisaldrich] Thanks for the offer Tantek!

tantek alrighty let's see what new / edited wiki pages could use some gardening/polish before the newsletter goes out

#
tantek http://twtr.io/1WRuiLCxGNQ makes me think perhaps we should explore putting some sort of live modules (depending on how hard they are - are there mediawiki plugins for etc) on the home page for smaller versions of the sections in the newsletter
#
Loqi [@rretsiem] Every time I visit the Indieweb Wiki I find something new and often things I really never heard of. Feels like ... http://microblog.renem.net/2017/09/22/every-time-i.html
#
tantek e.g. enwp.org home page
#
tantek which reminds me
#
tantek what is on this day
#
Loqi on this day is a feature of several silos where they show you posts you made on the current (typically Gregorian) day of the year in previous years https://indieweb.org/on_this_day
#
tantek https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OneWebDay
#
tantek hmm where's our ongoing wiki home page project
#
tantek what is wiki homepage
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "wiki homepage" yet. Would you like to create it?
#
tantek what is homepage
#
Loqi Your homepage represents you on the web, typically at the top of your domain, with your name and an iconic representation, often marked up with h-card, and fairly commonly one or more streams of recent, topical, or most relevant posts marked up with h-entry https://indieweb.org/homepage
#
gRegorLove Percolator is a good name for a microcast, nice work aaronpk
#
tantek.com edited /2017/site-refresh (+68) "/* Things IndieWeb can help with */ clarify use of algorithm" (view diff)
#
tantek hmm looks like we didn't really discuss the site homepage that much during /2017refresh and /2017/site-refresh
#
tantek what is site-homepage
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "site-homepage" yet. Would you like to create it?

tantek site-homepage is an ongoing project to iteratively improve the IndieWeb.org site homepage to make it more responsive, and more accessible & useful to more [[generations]]. See [[homepage]] for general personal homepage discussion efforts.
#
Loqi ok
#
tantek site-homepage << /2016/homepage
#
Loqi ok, I added "/2016/homepage" to the "See Also" section of /site-homepage
#
tantek site-homepage << https://github.com/indieweb/wiki/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Ahomepage
#
Loqi ok, I added "https://github.com/indieweb/wiki/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Ahomepage" to the "See Also" section of /site-homepage
#
tantek note (and perhaps belongs in wikifying), avoid [link] usage as it results in just a number like "1" or "2" in the readable (listenable) text which is really bad for accessibility as discovered at IWS 2016.
