@lindner Finally! a way to re-platform your Google+ data before the April 2019 shutdown. https://gplus-exporter.friendsplus.me/ exports to Wordpress, Blogger and other places. Hoping that this allows for communities to transition to new hosting or for individuals to go #indieweb (twitter.com/_/status/1080324565824204800)

[tantek] what is Google Plus
#
Loqi Google+ (AKA Google Plus, GPlus, or G+) is a soon to be shut down (2019 April) social content hosting silo operated by Google, similar in many respects to Facebook, and formerly a centralized Google identity service (since transitioned to Google Identity Platform https://indieweb.org/Google_Plus

[manton] I haven't had a chance to update the wiki yet, but we're pushing the Austin HWC to next week: Jan 9th. Too close to the new year and really bad weather in Austin anyway for our usual meetup spot.
#
Loqi [manton]: [tantek] left you a message 1 week, 1 day ago: would it be possible to do a half-day IWC Organizers meetup the Friday afternoon before IWC Austin? cc: GWG, gRegorlove, schmarty, aaronpk, et al
#
Loqi [manton]: [tantek] left you a message 22 hours, 13 minutes ago: is HWC Austin meeting up on 2019-01-09 by any chance? https://indieweb.org/events/2019-01-09-homebrew-website-club#Where
#
GWG Manton, need help for AUS? Already committed
#
[manton] Yes, I'm really behind getting everything set up for the web site and tickets!

#
[tantek] I know I brainstormed somewhere about treating underscores in (non-numerical) hashtags as spaces in the equivalent "category" text and auto-markup but I can't seem to find where I captured it on the wiki!
#
[tantek] I know for sure I brought it up in chat, likely dev, and thought for sure I put it somewhere as a brainstorm, but couldn't find any evidence on any /tag /hashtag /tag-reply pages, or on IndieWeb Commitments
#
[tantek] oh looks like I briefly captured it here https://indieweb.org/2018-12-indieweb-challenge#Inspiration including a to-do to incorporate it into /hashtags#Brainstorming
#
[tantek] has anyone else ran into the challenge of wanting to "just" type a hashtag for a category/label that itself has spaces? (since hashtags can't have spaces)

#
aaronpk I tend to use mostly one word tags, but I would rather use hyphens anyway
#
tantek.com edited /Events (+27) "/* January */ +Austin on the 9th" (view diff)
#
[tantek] aaronpk do you ever post new GitHub issues into a repo that has labels with spaces and want to add those labels directly from your indieweb /issue post?
#
aaronpk ahh hmm, I don't think that's ever come up for me
#
[tantek] this is about re-using categories/labels with spaces that someone else created in some space that you don't "control" per se
#
[tantek] I've run into this with CSSWG issues for example
#
aaronpk probably because I don't have a good way to know what labels the repo supports when I am writing the issue
#
aaronpk I would rather just add the label on github after the fact
#
[tantek] I'm guessing you would have run into this with SocialWG spec issues if you were owning your issues at the time
#
aaronpk also because I probably don't want my post tagged with that label on my site
#
aaronpk don't necessarily*
#
[tantek] "add the label on github after the fact" -> via a /tag-reply that you also post on your own site first then POSSE to GH? or just on GH?
#
aaronpk likely for the same reason that it's someone else's content
#
aaronpk just on GitHub
#
[tantek] hmm. I'm trying to "own my responses" even with /tag-reply posts
#
[tantek] sorta like owning my reacji to GH issues/comments
#
aaronpk I guess that just feels like organization of the repo content and not actually my own content
#
aaronpk github reactions I would be more inclined to own myself

#
[tantek] aaronpk if the repo or issue were *only* on someone's indieweb site, how would you add/remove labels/tags to it?
#
Zegnat I prefer to just use spaces in my tags when I want them. But I don’t use hashtags, so I don’t need a replacement for spaces
[stefp] joined the channel
#
[tantek] how do you enter your tags? into a different text field than your content? by choosing from a popup list? other?
#
[tantek] (since I don't have a separate field, entering hashtags is how I enter tags)
#
Zegnat Separate field, they are comma separated rather than space separated
#
Zegnat Haven’t needed commas in my tags so far, haha
#
[tantek] yes that's another way to do it. Flickr style
#
sknebel same in quill (after some people asked for spaces support)
#
Zegnat But I do have the tag “Homebrew Website Club” with spaces
[eddie] joined the channel
#
[eddie] I agree with aaronpk and Zegnat. I haven't run across the desire to add a GitHub label yet, I HAVE done GitHub reactions, and since I add my tags through a separate field, I could technically add a space if I wanted (although I haven't tested, so it might break things)
#
[tantek] Flickr's tag entry text field works like this: if there are commas, use them as separators between tags, otherwise use spaces as separators
#
Zegnat Hmm, I think everything I tagged Homebrew Website Club also has the tag IndieWeb, so that could work for me without accidentally breaking up the HWC one

#
[tantek] capturing thoughts / work in progress here until I have a more clear / decisive design: /Falcon#tags_with_spaces
#
[tantek] currently strongly consider leaving single underscores alone (in general) and using a double-underscore in hashtags __ as a space in the equivalent tag/category
#
[tantek] also considering converting any *n_n* (number, single underscore, number) in a hashtag to *n-n*. Use-case is ISO dates (ordinal and gregorian), making their tag/category version more standard / human friendly (#YYYY_DDD -> YYYY-DDD, #dev YYYY_MM_DD -> YYYY-MM-DD)
#
aaronpk Wow this sounds way too complicated for me lol
#
sknebel nudges this conversation out of #meta
#
[tantek] fair
#
aaronpk I would never remember that lol
