#
[tantek] IndieWeb folks, per the recent unexpected (appears to be first time?) job solicitation/invitation post in #indieweb, do we have a preference for which channel people should post that kind of thing if at all?
#
GWG It's an interesting question.
#
GWG It came through the Slack, so someone was deliberately signing up
#
GWG But I'm curious why
#
aaronpk if at all I would think meta, but unsolicited job postings are not something i really want to encourage at all
#
aaronpk it’s effectively spam when it’s a large block of text from someone who hasn’t said anything before
#
sknebel I wouldn't mind if an existing community member were to post a link to a jobposting or said some details + "contact me" in -dev or -chat
#
sknebel (-dev assuming a technical job, someone looking for a writer or sth would more be main channel)
#
aaronpk agreed, i think the key there is “existing community member”
#
sknebel the one just now seems to be just spam
#
GWG Also, I'd personally prefer it to be brief and with a link, not a block like that
#
sknebel right
#
sknebel I guess I'd also make an exception for someone looking for something really indieweb specific (again, keep it brief, but if someone outside were to look for someone to help implement webmention in their product or or something like that I'd not want to send them away, even though the chances seem slim)
#
GWG It's all in the delivery
#
GWG I think we all agree drive-by is not polite.

[chrisbergr] I'd agree to everything sknebel said about this topic.

petermolnar this might be the time for us to set up an indieweb git server along with github: https://torrentfreak.com/github-warns-users-reposting-youtube-dl-they-could-be-banned-201102/
#
petermolnar POSSE all the things, right?

#
aaronpk i know it's a bit late for IWC East, but I'd like to propose we run tickets through open collective next time
#
aaronpk tito tickets are the last thing still hitting my bank account now that we moved everything else to open collective
[tantek] joined the channel
#
[tantek] aaronpk, sounds like a good thing to start documenting on /Organizing
#
aaronpk for this one i think i'm going to have to make a donation to the open collective once tito ticket sales wrap up
#
[tantek] :thumbsup_all:
#
[tantek] GWG, aaronpk, sknebel, I think I agree with your opinions on the spam / job-posting. Perhaps we can clarify this on /discuss so we can point people to a community guideline if they spam, assuming they're motivated to improve

#
aaronpk oh wow this looks a lot nicer than etherpad https://demo.codimd.org/
#
aaronpk using it for ietf meeting notes
#
[tantek] oh not for our wiki archiving purposes. markdown--
#
Loqi markdown has -1 karma over the last year
#
aaronpk i wonder if it'd be possible to swap the markdown engine for mediawiki markup
#
aaronpk i wish markdown had started with mediawiki markup as a base instead of making up its own
#
[tantek] it really couldn't since mediawiki markup is pretty punctuation invasive

#
sknebel codi is pretty neat, yes. well, from what I remember the code is the same mess all these things are, but that's not surprising. (the sync bit is quite difficult, so everyone just builds on top of Etherpads sync code afaik)

aaronpk small web << https://github.com/LukeEmmet/duckling-proxy#what-is-the-small-web
#
Loqi ok, I added "https://github.com/LukeEmmet/duckling-proxy#what-is-the-small-web" to the "See Also" section of /small_web https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=73147&oldid=73146
#
aaronpk we should just turn that page into a massive disambiguation page hhe
#
Loqi agreed.
#
[tantek] aaronpk, that requires the individual things to have actual IndieWeb relevance / use
#
aaronpk i guess disambiguation wasn't the term i was looking for
#
aaronpk but more like listing out all the relevant definitions to give less importance to any one in particular
#
[tantek] I mean that's what the definition does
#
[tantek] but yes that's a good goal for that page, to de-emphasize any of the specific "small web" meanings in particular
#
[tantek] there's no way to "lock" a specific Etherpad is there? like for after a session is over and there's no more need to take notes in it

@kevinmarks ↩️ Seems like a handy thing. Maybe #indieweb people would be interested. I have made something similar for typepad to Hugo. (twitter.com/_/status/1323410631870074883)
