#GWGI think I've come down from the post-Indieweb Summit high
#[miklb]I don’t have a lot to contribute to that conversation at this point, but am following along.
#GWGI just want a solution. snarfed had to install a feature in Micropub to override Post Kinds on checkins as it doesn't support them. The problem being, based on the current design, it means I need to give him a PR to get that out if I ever do finish checkin work.
#GWGWhereas a filter/registration system would mean I wouldn't.
#[miklb]that’s just going to be an on-going inherent problem as long as all of the plugins are developed individually without a master roadmap. It’s going to require a lot of communication and some give and take on all sides IMO.
#[miklb]And the bonus of tackling such a hard problem now is it will make it easier for another dev to come along and build new tools to be interoperable.

#[chrisaldrich]iirc @bjkraft was considering doing some update work on the WP websub plugin and pfefferle had lined him about his version which he'd updated a month ago.

#[miklb]yay! got some insight on how I might build a them that requires some of the IW plugins and not require a user to use SFTP to install it.
#[miklb]there’s an upload plugin/file option, and then you can use transient_update_themes and point to your own zip
#[miklb]that’s a super simple explanation of course.
#[miklb]But that way I could build the theme I want to build, users wouldn’t have to use SFTP, just download a zip and upload through admin, and then get updates normally.
#[miklb]technically could be used for a true IW installer that does auto-install/activate other plugins, but I understand the desire for the plugin to be in wp.org repo.
