sknebel Zegnat jamietanna[m] : I'm fine with adding repos to it, although I'm not sure which ones would be the best candidates?
#
sknebel jamietanna[m]: you are planning an HWC around it, right?

#
jamietanna sknebel I've done one to the Micropub spec https://github.com/w3c/Micropub/pull/123 but thinking things like https://github.com/aaronpk/micropub.rocks but wondering things like the specs we have, or any of the shared tooling / libraries would be a good fit
#
Loqi [jamietanna] #123 Document `content[html]` for form requests
#
jamietanna and yes I am, although the HWCs I'm running for Hacktoberfest aren't necessarily IndieWeb related
#
sknebel I guess a question is the audience - do you want people like us to be able to grab points or places where we want new people to jump in? because a spec isn't exactly the thing I expect new contributors on, unless someone coached by us :D
#
sknebel well, ok, I can't even do anything to the spec repo, so that should be decided by aaronpk etc who do
#
Zegnat The Micropub repo is still w3c managed, so that is an open question anyway
#
sknebel right, thats why
#
sknebel in the indieweb org I can close PRs etc, and would be ok with it
#
Zegnat Actually, hmm, there is a separate Micropub repo on https://github.com/indieweb/micropub . Linked from the spec on micropub.net. Wonder which one is canonical now :o
#
Loqi [indieweb] Micropub: The Micropub spec
#
jamietanna oh woops, yes I remember the split happening again. I'll raise it on the IndieWeb org :)
#
jamietanna sknebel so in terms of the Hacktoberfest side of encouraging contributions for IndieWeb things, I'm not necessarily thinking of completely new OSS contributors, but folks who've not yet contributed to anything in the IndieWeb, but who have been thinking about it, and maybe this can help be a nudge?
#
sknebel right. As I said, happy to add it to a bunch of things, also happy to add it if people request certain repos to be part of it (not sure if we can communicate to people potentially interested somehow?), but I want for e.g. aaronpk or someone else more involved with the code there to give an opinion too before I go add the tag
#
sknebel (e.g. lots of our shared stuff is PHP, which is not my strength to help with :D)

#
aaronpk Given that it's 100% opt in now, there are going to be dramatically fewer repos available for people to contribute to, so adding the tag will make the repo very visible
#
aaronpk I would suggest only adding repos if there is a very clear way to contribute something useful to it
#
aaronpk things like open issues that have a clear task, etc
#
@SceneKingKylo Im gettin interested in indieweb stuff. I'm making my own website... (twitter.com/_/status/1312389258775334919)
#
jamietanna[m] OK, fair enough. I'll see if there's anything particularly open for folks, but it may be that I'll have to look at non indieweb projects to contribute to

[tantek] yeah, not useful to encourage rando pulls to specs

@starlifter_nz Are you on #indieweb? What platform or stack are you using? What’s your website address? (twitter.com/_/status/1312463167163785217)
