sebsel Is there a Wordpress plugin that makes Wordpress an IndieAuth server?
#
sebsel So, use your Wordpress password to sign in to Quill?
#
sebsel Seems like I have to add rel=me links now.
#
sebsel I want to do a Micropub demo and now I have a clean Wordpress install with the Micropub plugin; all working very nice so far :)
#
Ruxton not that I've seen around, no
#
sebsel I also can't find a plugin to add rel=me links. Can I do that without touching code?
#
sebsel I was hoping for "click this button and it works", that's easier to sell :P
#
Ruxton I made a link category for it, all the links in that category have rel="me"
#
Ruxton and I then display that link category in a widget
#
sebsel But then I would still need to edit the theme, right?
#
sebsel Oh, I have something.
#
Ruxton nah no theme editing if your theme has widget support

#
[sebsel] yeah it worked!
#
[sebsel] now in a domestic train instead of the nice ICE, so I won't fiddle further on my laptop until I'm at Dortmund, but thanks Ruxton!

GWG The fact that people don't realize the rel.me code exists in the Indieweb plugin is still an issue.
#
sebsel GWG ah, I see now! So I just put my Twitter in my user profile? Nice.
#
GWG sebsel: I have been thinking about making it more obvious since the Summit, where people pointed it out. I think some of us are just too close to the problem.
#
sebsel We'll it's not mentioned in Getting Started, while it would be a good first or second step.
#
sebsel I like the "what do you want to do?"-approach :)
#
sebsel Adding the rel=me would be a step in the Micropub route.

GWG sebsel: It's going to be my next project. I might do some hack day tomorrow.
#
GWG There was discussion of replacing getting started with a better onboarding experience.
#
sebsel I like that idea!
#
sebsel GWG++ for all the WordPress love :)
#
Loqi gwg has 15 karma in this channel (259 overall)
#
GWG Yes, but what it should look like is a question
#
sebsel I like the approach of "what do you want to do?". So, a route to Micropub, a route to backfeed from Twitter and Facebook, a route to POSSE.
#
GWG I'd like to find a library to do the interface. Otherwise I have to write one.
#
jeremycherfas I second that, sebsel. GWG, I don't really have any experience with this, but how hard is it to make a wizard that will do things qwith WP setup?
#
sebsel If a wizard is not possible, adding steps with 1., 2., 3. might work too.
#
sebsel I kind of think about Indiewebify.me, but more goal oriented, with as I said three (maybe more?) routes to take, and it could of course do things itself.
#
GWG I can do a wizard...just have to write one.
#
sebsel Yeah, Googling "wordpress wizard" gives all kinds of web builders, but not what we want ;)
#
GWG We use a very basic plugin installer now. I might try enhancing it.
#
GWG We used to have a much more involved one, but it wasn't what we wanted
[pfefferle] joined the channel
#
[pfefferle] I am not sure if “it wasn’t what we wanted” is the correct phrase… I think it is more a ploblem that there is noone that has the time to build a wizard like installer…
#
GWG pfefferle, I was hoping that I could find something to modify

#
[colinwalker] I was just thinking to myself the other day "what does the indieweb plugin actually do?" Completely forgot about the relme stuff ?
[kevinmarks] and [pfefferle] joined the channel
#
[pfefferle] GWG I am not sure what you meant with “find something to modify”…
#
GWG Find a library I can customize to our needs
#
[pfefferle] ah ok
