[tantek] Hey folks <!here>, one of the critical things we maintain in addition to microformats specifications is the official HTML link relations registry, AKA "rel registry", as normatively referenced in the HTML Standard.
#
[tantek] As we've moved microformats specification process and issue discussions officially to our microformats GitHub org, I'd like to similarly consider moving the rel registry to a new repo in microformats GitHub org. Thoughts, opinions?
[prtksxna] joined the channel
#
[prtksxna] [tantek] Where do the discussions live as of now?
#
[tantek] discussions for what?
#
[prtksxna] You mentioned that the mf issue discussions are on GH now. Similarly, where do those for the rel registry live right now.

#
[jgarber] [tantek] Approved. :thumbsup::skin-tone-2:
#
[tantek] microformats spec issue discussions are on the repo for each spec
#
[tantek] there is no repo for the rel registry yet
#
[tantek] the default place for microformats discussions is this #microformats chat channel
#
[prtksxna] Yeah, in that case a github repo would be much better 🙂
#
[tantek] Cool. I'll give it another day or so for folks to express opinions and we'll see if there's good consensus around using a github repo
#
GWG I am fine
#
GWG I have rel questions
#
GWG Or issues

#
[KevinMarks] A repo for the state of the registry, or for the issues?
#
[tantek] a repo for the registry itself, with likely separate files for the separate sections in the current rel-registry
#
[KevinMarks] But the registry is still served from the microformats.org domain?
#
[KevinMarks] Storing it in git and hosting the git at github is reasonable. Serving it from a microformats (sub) domain makes sense as insurance against github going awry.
#
[tantek] is that insurance worth the lack of https?
#
[KevinMarks] You can get https from a github served subdomain
#
[tantek] hmm that's an interesting idea
#
[KevinMarks] I serve lots of things from github, but I use domains I own.
#
[tantek] and github handles the https?
#
[KevinMarks] They use letsencrypt
#
[tantek] that doesn't really answer the question
#
[KevinMarks] Eg https://tumblelog.xyz/
#
[KevinMarks] I own the domain, github hosts and manages letsencrypt
#
[KevinMarks] But I can always switch
#
[tantek] that's a TLD. is there any way to do it with a subdomain? "subdomain" is not mentioned on https://indieweb.org/GitHub_Pages
#
[tantek] I'd be more confident in this possibility if there were some documentation
#
[KevinMarks] https://help.github.com/en/articles/setting-up-a-custom-subdomain
#
[KevinMarks] Can try it
#
[KevinMarks] looks like it will work; cname+ get github to issue cert

[KevinMarks] yep https://where.kevin-marks.com/
#
[KevinMarks] that was https://kevinmarks.github.io until 5 minutes ago
#
[KevinMarks] I'm reasonably confident that msft won't break github, but it's good to have options

#
[tantek] Msft owning github increased my confidence in URL stability
#
[tantek] That’s cool you were able to setup where. So quickly
