↩️ The hybrid of wiki and chat we use for indieweb is good, but a bit custom. What are you collaborating on? What's the expected outcome?

petermolnar, per your blog post, would you rather we mention Flash instead of Java applets in the description of "have fun" in the /principles list?
#
capjamesg[d]
[tantek] That sounds like a fun project to work on!
#
capjamesg[d]
I wonder if we could make the timeline a list of h-events?
#
capjamesg[d]
Then, we could convert those events into a calendar.
#
capjamesg[d]
I can take that on if you'd like 😉

capjamesg[d]: advice: build/find the calendar first, it'll influence everything about how you present data to it

[tantek] re java or flash: probably yes, but that is beside the point, which point is the create, experiment, and enjoy making something that looks and acts however you want it to looks and act.

you could link to Cassie's talk on making animations for her personal site

[KevinMarks]
that's a nice replacement for flash and java applets

Hm, how about principle 11 starting with "Above all, have fun" ?
#
capjamesg[d]
I like it!

[KevinMarks]
OK, I'll do that, if people hate it they can revert

something doesn't quite sit right with making it so explicitly dominant. will reflect on it
#
[tantek]
I try to think of it more as a reminder, like "Remember to ..."

what are threads?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "threads" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "threads is ____", a sentence describing the term)

[chrisaldrich]
what is threading?

A reply chain (AKA reply thread) is a list of replies, and replies to those replies, displayed under the original post https://indieweb.org/threading

I think I'm going to uninstall the Wordpress mobile app (I would rather use something like IndiePass (formerly named Indigenous), and I'll rely on Pushover API for notifications. #indieweb #tech #roll

What is Vero?
#
Loqi
Vero is an Instagram-like social network that is free for now but claims to be pursuing a model sustained by yearly fees and fees from in-app product sales instead of normal advertising models, and has been gaining publicity in February 2018, as well as quick public abandonment with the hashtag #deletevero https://indieweb.org/Vero
