# 23:46 aaronpk have you made any progress on the socialpub work?
# 23:46 aaronpk i was hoping you could take a look at micropub and let me know if this looks like what you'd expect from a combined syntax for updates
# 23:48 cwebber2 aaronpk: I have not because I've been sprinting on the mediagoblin 0.9.0 release (if lucky, out tomorrow morning!)
# 23:49 cwebber2 also I feel like I need to coordinate with rhiaro on the socialpub stuff :)
# 23:50 cwebber2 aaronpk: I'm not sure, which part is the combined syntax for updates?
# 23:51 cwebber2 aaronpk: are you meaning the incremental updates part?
# 23:53 cwebber2 aaronpk: so we don't have the incremental replace but I think it would be interesting to support; I guess we'd need a new term in the vocabulary for it
# 23:54 aaronpk "Add" is explicitly adding to the existing list, "Replace" replaces with the new list
# 23:55 cwebber2 I think we need tsyesika and rhiaro talking about incremental updates though as well
# 23:55 cwebber2 I feel like I can't be the only one discussing that; it's a significant addition
# 23:55 cwebber2 "Update" in the current system does a complete replacement of the object
# 23:56 aaronpk worst case I can make Add/Replace part of Micropub and not part of Socialpub
# 23:56 cwebber2 have an "add a single property" one which is either add/replace, and then have a "replace the *entire* object wholesale" with an Update one?
# 23:57 aaronpk now that I think about it, it's really only "Add" which was driven by actual use cases

# 23:57 aaronpk oh wait no, you need "replace" to be able to set only a specific property like the name of a post
# 23:59 cwebber2 aaronpk: how about this: "Replace" for replacing an entire field's content, and for switching out lists of tags
# 23:59 aaronpk but part of the goal is to not need to retrieve the complete list to be able to add something
# 23:59 cwebber2 aaronpk: we can probably do it but it means 3 update verbs
