Zegnat GWG would there be a way to ship a “generic” webmention+u-syndicate module that requires users to first set it up with targets in the backend? Thus there would be imediate support for news.indieweb.org (and similar websites) but a user would first need to enter the indieweb.org URL somewhere?
#
Zegnat That way people who do not know about news.indieweb.org, and therefor do not have its URL, wouldn’t be able to push to it by toggling a switch?
#
GWG I could also ship Indienews as a separate plugin
#
GWG That would extend the primary one
#
GWG That is what syndicate links has, a generic one
#
GWG I could substitute any API interface
#
Zegnat Like I said, just thinking out loud, it hasn’t actually been a problem yet
#
Zegnat But do indieweb.xyz and news.indieweb.org use the same way of syndication? If that turns out to be a popular way to enable syndication, it feels like you shouldn‘t need a separate plugin for each one of them. Instead just a config field to put the URLs you may want to syndicate posts to using that system
#
GWG Yes, I just figured I'd hard codr the most popular ones
#
GWG XYZ is a problem
#
GWG Because using the Micropub checkbox style of decision making, I would need one for each topic
#
GWG Indienews is coded for your language
#
[jgmac1106] @gwg you could use a form field for xyz for people to add the tag
metbril joined the channel
#
GWG Yes, but that wouldn't work in a Micropub client
#
GWG I like the simplicity of just a checkbox
#
GWG I think xyz should work by a single target plus p-category properties
#
[jgmac1106] But with xyz you can add new channels by creating a new tag...what if it ends up with dozens of tags
#
[jgmac1106] You couldn't have a checkbox for each
#
[jgmac1106] <p><em>This was also posted to
#
[jgmac1106] <a href="https://indieweb.xyz/en/hottubs" class="u-syndication">/en/hottubs</a>.</em></p>
#
[jgmac1106] Checkbox should add everything up to language, which is set by default in browser (or just en) then a form field for hottubs
#
GWG Well, I may just create an interface like Zegnat suggested
#
GWG But today I am fine

#
[pfefferle] Is indieweb.xyz also supporting different languages?
#
[pfefferle] Do you know where to suggest new languages? Is there a github repo?
#
GWG Not aware of a Github
#
Zegnat I think indieweb.xyz just accepts anything you want. So it doesn’t have anything special for languages? Kinda like a wiki, just create something with a German name if you want it to be in German?
#
[pfefferle] I tested it, it only works for /en/
#
[pfefferle] I would love to see /de/
#
Zegnat Oh, I didn’t realise it had a hard-coded /en/. Interesting
#
[pfefferle] And this is currently blocked
#
GWG [pfefferle]: Did you catch https://twitter.com/janboddez/status/1076909444989112322
#
@janboddez Been adding incoming Webmention support to my blog, a bit like so: https://github.com/janboddez/webmention-comments. (Mind you, I'd rather just use https://wordpress.org/plugins/webmention/, but right now I can't, thanks to the site's weird setup.) (twitter.com/_/status/1076909444989112322)
#
[pfefferle] now yes 😉
#
[pfefferle] @zegnat do you know who is working on indieweb.xyz?
#
Zegnat I think https://www.kickscondor.com/
#
[pfefferle] I tried it on twitter, thanks 🙂
#
Zegnat I think they’ve been in #indieweb, but I don’t recall IRC/Slack nick :(
