@RonaldKeeling6 Likely candidates are Microformats, and RDFa. (twitter.com/_/status/1430042986780536834)

@voxpelli ↩️ Discord/IRC + a wiki + GitHub repos + GitHub issues? I think the @indiewebcamp / @microformats community has a very good setup for this (twitter.com/_/status/1430152855340650497)

@liran_tal ↩️ Thanks for expanding beyond the poll. I'm wondering if it isn't too much distributed for folks to actually get a grip on this? if I were joining a community and needed to follow on all of these mediums I'd probably get lost at some point (twitter.com/_/status/1430165931620241434)
#
@aaronpk ↩️ IMO it's the opposite. If a community has only one platform I end up overwhelmed by how much discussion is all in one place. Separating it out means you can tune in to just the conversations that are relevant. (twitter.com/_/status/1430167327241379843)
#
@liran_tal ↩️ Interesting perspective (twitter.com/_/status/1430169141789462550)
#
@petermolnar ↩️ A well maintained and curated wiki combined with the brainstorming-enabling, always-logged, searchable IRC (that is bridged to Slack, and Discord) is surprisingly nice. (twitter.com/_/status/1430171271732604937)

sayanarijit[d] Hi all, is there an `X-` equivalent (as in http headers) for microformats that lets me use custom class names as specifiers? E.g. `x-p-name`?
#
sayanarijit[d] sayanarijit[d]: Or rather, is there any plan for something like this?
#
sknebel -x- prefix on the name is sometimes used for experimental things, e.g. p-x-foobar. or if you are doing something custom, you can choose a prefix. (e.g. if I were to put a thing on my website that's clearly specific to what I do, I might call it p-sknebel-foobar
#
sknebel to avoid confusion with other -foobar properties other people define
#
sayanarijit[d] Ah got it... Thanks.
#
@GirelliGabriele ↩️ I completely agree with Peter. Especially, I think that the bridging plays a crucial part for new users, as it makes the platform choice into a flavour-picking one, without the risk of being left out of conversations :) (twitter.com/_/status/1430177492225175555)
#
@voxpelli ↩️ Totally agree with Peter and Aaron here. Combining the fast pace IRC-style discussion with long term incrementally improved wikis enables people with different pacing needs to all stay on top. Then there's the actual BarCamps a few times a year as well, on top of the chat (twitter.com/_/status/1430181729415929859)
#
@voxpelli ↩️ Having the chat and the wiki connected to one another is also pretty key I think. @indiewebcamp has a chat bot, Loqi, who connects the wiki to the chat, making it easy to look up subjects and document subjects, resulting in "tanteking", named after @t: https://indieweb.org/Tantek-ing (twitter.com/_/status/1430182333383053316)
#
@voxpelli ↩️ All in all – a multi-channel approach / omni-channel approach to community building, making sure that everyone can engage in some way and that everyone feels included, yet that there is good progress. Also, here's Loqi himself: https://indieweb.org/Loqi (twitter.com/_/status/1430183793181212672)
#
@voxpelli ↩️ There's also a newsletter bot built on top of the wiki (and integrated into the Loqi bot): https://indieweb.org/this-week-in-the-indieweb (twitter.com/_/status/1430183477773840386)

@liran_tal ↩️ The omni-channel case resonates a lot, thanks for that perspective! (twitter.com/_/status/1430220639332405256)

#
[tantek] I think it's more about different "channels" for different use-cases / communication cadences?
#
[tantek] actually that should be in #indieweb-meta
