aaronpk hmm i want the Nürnberg blog posts to show up in the newsletter, is the best way for someone to just post it to indienews if the author hasn't already?

#
sknebel aaronpk: probably?
#
gRegor Yeah, unless you want to create a wiki page for NUR 2023 posts. Think that's usually a section on the main wiki page for the event

#
GWG Why is it NUR and not NUE?
#
GWG NUR is in Australia
#
gRegor 🤷
#
gRegor /IWC_NUR was set up as a redirect. Common misunderstanding if people don't know them.
#
gRegor what is IWC NUE
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "IWC NUE" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "IWC NUE is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek] because it's an English abbreviation and not an airport code
#
aaronpk PDX is special like that
#
gRegor TIL "metonymy" from /PDX
#
gRegor "substitution of the name of an attribute or adjunct for that of the thing meant, for example suit for business executive"

#
aaronpk re: indienews in #indieweb ... are we getting to the point of needing approval before posts show up there?
#
[tantek] or at least one "thumbs-up" from someone other than the author
#
[tantek] before an IndieNews post shows up in the newsletter
#
aaronpk hmm, are you suggesting that newsletter threshold is different than news.indieweb.org threshold?
#
[tantek] similar to we require 2+ wiki edits for an edited page to make it to the newsletter
#
aaronpk true
#
[tantek] that way we can continue to encourage posts to news.indieweb, without noise in the newsletter
#
aaronpk so what would be the way someone could +1 an entry?
#
[tantek] there's two ways to get an article into IndieNews right? 1 you syndicate an article directly, 2 you bookmark someone else's article and syndicate to IndieNews
#
aaronpk yes
#
[tantek] sounds like (2) presents at least one way someone can +1 an entry
#
gRegor A !news command similar to the !rt command?
#
aaronpk right so I suppose if someone submits someone else's post that is automatic newsletter inclusion
#
aaronpk the question is how to flag that posts are pending newsletter inclusion in a way that we will actually see them and they won't just go ignored
#
[tantek] submissions show up here in chat, that's a sufficient such "flag" IMO. similar to edited wiki pages show up here too
#
aaronpk edited wiki pages don't require interaction in response to the chat notification
#
aaronpk the problem is that submissions won't show up in the newsletter at all, and might be a week in the scrollback
#
[tantek] aaronpk, point being, if you see a wiki page that's been edited, and that page is important to you, you may go check it out and further edit it, thus bumping it up to be qualified to show up in the newsletter
#
[tantek] thus similarly to seeing an IndieNews submission pop-up in chat
#
aaronpk then we need some way to indicate that a submission has been "edited" like how a wiki page has edit history
#
aaronpk in other words how do I know if someone has already upvoted a post for inclusion
#
[tantek] on the https://news.indieweb.org/en list, a submitted article currently says "submitted about 2 hours ago ". when someone posts a bookmark to it, instead of listing that as a separate line / entry (which feels sorta like a dupe), the item in that list of the original submitted article can instead be updated to say "submitted about 2 hours ago and 🔖 from http://andi.example.org, http://ben.example.org, and http://calum.example.org." where
#
[tantek] each of those from domains links to their 🔖 post permalink.
