GWG
[miklb]: If you want to look, I just pushed the start of the replacement for Kind_Meta
#
[miklb]
what branch?
#
[miklb]
ah, I see mf2_post
#
GWG
There is a new file, class-mf2-post
#
GWG
That tries to turn post data into MF2 data.
#
[miklb]
and the goal is to write that class so other plugins could drop it in and use it? I’m still not sure I follow exactly what the target goal is. I mean, I understand that you are trying to normalize data, but I’m not sure about the class being in post-kinds.
#
GWG
[miklb]: Well, it has to start somewhere.
#
GWG
It is starting as a replacement for Kind_Meta
#
[miklb]
Don’t get me wrong, if it will help you in development of your plugin(s) that’s all that counts. I just wasn’t following, not questioning the longer term goal. Thus why asked about a drop in class, something that could be added as a submodule for instance.
#
GWG
I might turn it into one in the future
#
GWG
I might want to use it in multiple plugins
#
GWG
It might mess up some kind views though
#
GWG
Although if I replace kind meta with this I may write a converter until people can change.
#
[miklb]
big enough change to require a 3.0?
#
GWG
I am not sure yet.
#
GWG
It depends on how much I get in there
#
GWG
I want to stabilize mf2 handling once and for all, fix corrupted metadata I created, etc.
#
GWG
That should allow me to add more functionality in the long-term

Press This is leaving core

Got a mention in trac
#
[miklb]
what was the argument for that? I don’t really care one way or another, just seems like an odd decision
#
GWG
I don't know
#
GWG
Found it
#
[miklb]
shakes head
#
[miklb]
There is plenty of 7-8 year old (or older) tech in core. Picking on this one seems odd. But such is the nature of WP
#
GWG
I am hoping to get my parse this improvements into the embeds

Getting all the properties converted to mf2 from WordPress is an interesting challenge.
