tantek !tell sknebel wiki-posse-code? tell me more! are you POSSEing to or from the wiki? if *to* the wiki (any MediaWiki), then I am very interested in this - personal itch for sure - on my list! https://indieweb.org/Falcon#POSSE_events. Let me know!
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
sknebel Tantek something I've been working on on and off ever since Kaja learned to edit the wiki
#
Loqi sknebel: tantek left you a message 19 minutes ago: wiki-posse-code? tell me more! are you POSSEing to or from the wiki? if *to* the wiki (any MediaWiki), then I am very interested in this - personal itch for sure - on my list! https://indieweb.org/Falcon#POSSE_events. Let me know!
#
tantek wow a service to POSSE events to the wiki would be even more amazing
#
tantek though I have multiple MediaWiki destinations I'd like to POSSE events to! :)
#
sknebel E.g. the last few times I've updated the HWC dates on the front page, that has been generated by a script that parsed the hwc pages
#
tantek wow
#
tantek sknebel++

Loqi sknebel has 3 karma in this channel (63 overall)
#
sknebel (And a goal is to have kaja do that every time a hwc page is updated)
#
aaronpk wow
#
sknebel But inserting content that coexists with human-edited content is tricky
#
tantek definitely
#
tantek wow quite the scandalous Audio Edition this week
#
tantek so much shade >:D
#
sknebel Adding a city to a HWC page I probably could do by now (but since Berlin has its own day hasn't been much of an itch), but updating e.g. /
#
sknebel Events is difficult
#
aaronpk sections get MediaWiki IDs IIRC, is there anything we can do to make it more easily machine-editable?
#
aaronpk like always using the event template syntax for example
#
sknebel (Although it's formalistic enough that something that at least works most of the time and complains if it fails might be doable)
#
sknebel Parsers for media wiki syntax are apparently all kind of broken, since media wiki is "organically grown")
#
sknebel Aaronpk because people use that mostly (and/or lists of manually written ones) I think a really dumb pseudo-parser might be able to handle most of the cases, and cry for help if it fails.
#
sknebel Best parser that exists outside of the media wiki is parsoid (mediawikis next-gen parser, that they use for the visual editor), but its difficult to set up and our wiki is to old. That theoretically cab roundtrip mediawiki-xmltree-mediawiki
#
sknebel (E.g. for placing an event in the list, the main issue is figuring out where to put it in the markup. I can parse the resulting HTML easily for mf2 and place it there, but it is hard to figure out from there where in the source markup that is
#
aaronpk Yeah makes sense
#
aaronpk I’m getting closer to being able to update the wiki finally
#
aaronpk Made some progress on a new auth solution that won’t require a complicated mediawiki extension rewrite

#
sknebel Oh, how? Using the single sign on stuff you shared the gist for?
#
aaronpk Yea!
#
sknebel Neat
#
aaronpk I have a prototype working on my laptop now, need to write the MW extension for it, which should be just a minor change of their existing basic auth extension
#
schmarty tantek: uh oh. Hopefully that shade is only/mostly an accurate summary of the source material, haha
#
Loqi hehe

sgreger sknebel: no prob, i simply added HWC Berlin to the /events page, as I was wondering why it didn't show up in the newsletter draft - interesting though: it still did not get included in the final newsletter
