[tantek] that feels appropriate
#
[KevinMarks] I track bike rides with Google maps, but don't blog them as they almost always start and end at my house
#
aaronpk i publish the duration and distance of the ride but hide the actual map if it starts or ends at my house or my office
#
[tantek] ^ that's an excellent detail to capture in either /bicycle or /travel aaronpk
#
[tantek] well this week we got the fun new page /toot
#
[tantek] I'll write-up /@-@ for next week (unless someone else wants to start it)
#
[tantek] this gets me thinking, what do we think of a "Featured Article" (meaning page on the wiki) that we display more prominently near the top of the newsletter?
#
[tantek] it could be a new page or a highly edited recent page
#
aaronpk would it be manually selected? or somehow automated?
#
[tantek] maybe semi-automated?
#
[tantek] e.g. Wikipedia has a daily "featured article" on their home page with a heading "From today's featured article"
#
[tantek] ^ [KevinMarks] did you mean that for #indieweb?
#
[tantek] aaronpk, on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page looks like they are grabbing the image and first two paragraphs of an article to summarize as the "featured article"
#
[KevinMarks] Not sure how exportable those maps are
#
[tantek] [KevinMarks] -> that's definitely #indieweb not #indieweb-meta 🙂
#
[tantek] lol and apparently the Wikipedia featured article image becomes the featured photo for the entire Wikipedia home page
#
[tantek] (for those not on Slack, that Wikipedia home page link displayed a link-preview of Wikipedia favicon, "Wikipedia", "Main Page (308 kB)", and then a giant image of Adele)
#
[tantek] aaronpk I found where we were brainstorming ideas like this
#
[tantek] adding now

#
[tantek] aaronpk, captured the newsletter Featured Article idea/brainstorm here: https://indieweb.org/site-homepage#New_live_modules
#
[tantek] apparently we have some overlap between potential new home page modules and new newsletter modules

[tantek] aaronpk, both meta & dev, sorta more #indieweb-meta so replying here. re: "Should we restart meetings at the W3C social CG to try to actually improve the standard and interop?" — Evan reached out to me about what should we do with the current resurgence of indieweb/activitypub interest, while I was away. I replied with some ideas but yes there are some possibilities there.
#
[tantek] I think a good first step would be to encourage work on test suites for the social web related specs that currently lack them, e.g. both activitypub and indieauth.
#
[tantek] next I think we need a protocol like webactions to handle cross-site interactions that Mastodon folks call "remote follow", without being Mastodong or ActivityPub specific
#
[tantek] Mastodon* (sheesh)
#
barnaby oh dear xD
#
gRegor lol
#
barnaby typo aside, agreed re standards/interop progress. good to hear that you and Evan are in contact about it
