# 01:45 cwebber2 jasnell: I made a test conversion of my blog's atom feed to activitystreams
# 01:45 cwebber2 one thing I was debating was how to handle representing tags, since the spec says "tags can be any object", but I wasn't sure what simple text-tags should be, so I took general objects with displayName
# 01:46 cwebber2 also if you have comments on how correct/incorrect that is, I'd be interested
# 01:46 jasnell yeah, that's a good approach.. "tag": [{"displayName": "foo"}
]
# 01:47 jasnell another thing that approach does is it allows you to associate a "url" with the tag...
# 01:47 jasnell {"@type": "Object", "displayName": "foo", "url": "http://example.org/tags/foo"}
:-)
# 01:48 cwebber2 jasnell: I'll probably extend the conversion script to handle that when I run into some atom scripts that handle that
# 01:50 cwebber2 jasnell: I started to write up an issue about images and @id vs url vs href
# 01:51 cwebber2 and then the url could be a list of Link objects, and heach href points to the image files
# 01:52 cwebber2 that was confusing to me, and rhiaro and I were trying to figure it out, so it took me a bit to come to that
# 01:52 jasnell if you'd like, make the @id point to the canonical version. it's ok duplicate that in the url property
# 01:53 jasnell I'll take a look. and on my next pass through I'll try to make that part about the url/href clearer
# 01:54 cwebber2 oshepherd_ also brought up again the "object posting should be able to be separate from activities, and have the addressing be on the objects themselves"
# 01:54 cwebber2 but I do understand that in pump.io it's been a problem where sometimes replies-to-replies lose track of distributing to the whole thread and etc
# 01:55 cwebber2 jasnell: yeah, did you read oshepherd_'s post about this to the list a while back?
# 01:55 jasnell which I'll do on tuesday before if I work too much too obviously this weekend my wife will likely kill me ;-)
# 01:55 oshepherd_ With a "post" activity important information like the object's ACL gets attached to the "post" activity
# 01:55 cwebber2 one other motivation for it is that it would bring micropub and activitystreams much closer together

# 01:56 cwebber2 which I think is more visible from reading rhiaro's blogpost which I linked above
# 01:56 jasnell ok. I'm making myself a note to take another look on tuesday morning
# 01:56 oshepherd_ Which quite clearly belongs on the object, and never mind the fact that in this distributed system what the hell do you do when you see two different post activities for the same object...
# 01:56 cwebber2 jasnell: don't want to take up too much of your time and cause family drama! I appreciate your feedback and looking into these :)
# 01:57 jasnell backing slowly away from the keyboard so as to not draw too much attention

# 16:50 cwebber2 would love to include portions of the activitystreams spec inside this code I'm writing
# 16:50 cwebber2 it's too bad the w3c license is nonfree in that it does not permit modification :\
