#
[snarfed] whoa angelo you decided to include metaformats in the mf2py release after all?
#
c​apjamesg Angelo and I were on a call for a few hours.
#
c​apjamesg We are doing a release tomorrow.
#
[snarfed] right, but the metaformats PR got merged, and it sounded like it was waiting until after 2.0
#
[snarfed] ok either way! just surprised me
#
c​apjamesg Talking about the PR on a call helped me understand it a bit more.
#
c​apjamesg Given this uses mf2py code and integrates nicely -- and non-intrusively -- it feels reasonable to have it in the parser.
#
[snarfed] ok!
#
c​apjamesg I think having an extensions API may be premature optimization. Maintaining such an API is a burden and if we only have metaformats and the alt text attribute it may not be worth it.
#
c​apjamesg [snarfed]++ for the implementation!
#
c​apjamesg I can't believe how fast you made it a reality 😄
#
[snarfed] lol, thanks!
#
c​apjamesg [snarfed]++
#
Loqi [snarfed] has 1 karma in this channel over the last year (125 in all channels)
#
[snarfed] technically it's still incomplete, but not too much
#
c​apjamesg There we go!
#
c​apjamesg And it is thus merged!
#
c​apjamesg (A message that would have made more sense before you said that haha.)
#
c​apjamesg Did you have any fast follows in mind?
#
c​apjamesg We don't have to release tomorrow.
#
[snarfed] nothing else, no

angelo can any other metaformats implementers review the three test cases at the bottom of https://github.com/microformats/mf2py/commit/698f2bbd6b4a1e2b16ea60eff8772a3a838b6cba ? [tantek] [aciccarello]
#
[aciccarello] I mentioned I'm working on some suggested changes to the spec but that seems like a fine starting point.
#
angelo thank you
#
[snarfed] next step for tests would be mixed sources, eg OGP + Twitter + meta tags, to check the priority order
#
[tantek] oooh
#
[tantek] lol at the test cases with files at my domain (!!!)
#
[tantek] don't make me put a baz .jpg up there angelo 😆
#
gRegor hahah
#
angelo coming up with good tests/doctests is tough. capjamesg said we need a style guide.
#
angelo shall i fix that somehow?
#
angelo shall i fix your baz .jpg problem, tantek?

#
[KevinMarks] test case based on @adactio's hybrid version, and my evil one?
#
[KevinMarks] evil one: https://www.kevinmarks.com/partialsilos.html
#
[KevinMarks] https://adactio.com/journal/9881 combining fb and twitter markup in single declarations
#
[KevinMarks] One thought on extensions - a way to add new fallback rules to the main code and the meta might be interesting. I have done that by brute force before to make sense of particular sites. We could review what the 'reader mode' extensions do, for example.

#
c​apjamesg I am going to eat dinner then will do that.
#
angelo thank you
#
c​apjamesg Did you add all the changes to the changelog?
#
c​apjamesg (estimated time to get back to this: ~1 hour)
#
angelo oh! i suppose there's probably other changes before this last run of PRs
#
angelo let me add them
#
angelo good catch
#
angelo changelog updated and ready to go. maybe we should wait until Sunday :) https://indieweb.org/2023-12-indieweb-gift-calendar
#
c​apjamesg I can make something for Sunday 😂

Loqi [preview] [snarfed] #213 Add extension to support metaformats
Zegnat and sknebel joined the channel
#
[tantek] https://github.com/microformats/mf2py/pull/211 is interesting
#
[tantek] perhaps we should document those somewhere
#
tantek created /microformats2_prefixes (+36) "r" (view diff)
#
tantek created /Tailwind (+649) "create page per https://github.com/microformats/mf2py/pull/211" (view diff)
#
[tantek] documented ^ with similar guidance, so if other parsers consider blocking them they can do the same thing
