WinnerWind aaronpk: re: pins: it seems as though they DO have a service for holding onto orders and shipping them as required but it is much more expensive than just buying in bulk
#
WinnerWind 12$ per unit without shipping if we're doing a really small batch
#
WinnerWind "50 is almost nothing for this"
#
WinnerWind 6-10$ per unit if we get ≋50 but they dont handle the orders
#
aaronpk yeah, that was my fear. logistics is the hard part
#
WinnerWind is that too much?
#
WinnerWind aaronpk: "Once you do the first order and place another one (larger quantity) the costs will decrease significantly"
#
WinnerWind sorry i know its kinda tough being the mediator, do you handle the merch? if so should i just email their details to you?
#
WinnerWind or do you think its a bit much?
#
WinnerWind because i do think 6-10$ might be a bit much, seems to be a sensible thing to do one for an indieweb event where there's a lot of people then sell the excess on the merch store
#
WinnerWind i think that way depending on the amount of people that come we'll have a lot of pins in the order and a lot will be immediately sold off too

aaronpk i set up the on-demand stores, but i don't handle anything beyond that
#
aaronpk maybe we need to do a crowdfunding thing to gauge how many people want one
#
WinnerWind good idea

#
aaronpk huh "Your team’s free 30 day trial of Slack Pro has started."
#
[tantek] Go archive your DM histories now lol
#
WinnerWind oh also, any chance the VisualEditor module could be enabled for the indieweb wiki?
#
WinnerWind I much prefer it to wikisyntax and i think it would encourage more people to wikfify
#
[tantek] Hmm, I’m kinda mixed about that
#
WinnerWind how so?
#
[tantek] Tbh I don't mind people having to make slower more thoughtful edits to the wiki
#
[tantek] Especially given recent incidents of content loss
#
WinnerWind that's sensible, but i find myself just not editing because of the lack of wikisyntax. i think the recent incidents of content loss can be solved by enabling page protection similar to how wikipedia doe
#
[tantek] Consider that we don't have enough people repairing damage, likely means we already have too many "new people" editing the wiki vs wiki gardeners
#
WinnerWind lack of VisualEditor*
#
[tantek] If you have suggestions for improving gardening and repair, I’m more open to that
#
[tantek] (And those pretty much always depend on fixing wiki markup)
#
[tantek] Also I don't buy that people don't edit bc wiki syntax is too hard. The basics are no different from Markdown
#
WinnerWind well, visualeditor ensures that broken wikimarkup never happens, because then it would appear incorrectly while the person is editing
#
[tantek] So stick to the basics for now if wiki syntax is intimidating
#
[tantek] Broken wiki markup is not the problems we are seeing
#
WinnerWind random pages being deleted? MediaWiki allows for page protection so that deletes are not done automatically and singlehandedly
#
[tantek] Also, anyone here via Slack, time to archive all your bookmarks / saved posts
#
WinnerWind anyway, its not that big of a deal ^_^`` thanks for indulging me though
#
[tantek] Nope WinnerWind not that either. Unless you know of specific examples
#
WinnerWind [tantek]: a week or so ago the homepage got deleted on accident by a user
#
WinnerWind i believe since then the homepage has been protected
#
[tantek] Oh yeah I remember that
