#
[Michael_Beckwit I’m legit curious how much of “really old” WordPress core code has roots in ideals that the IndieWeb hold
#
[Michael_Beckwit pingbacks/trackbacks are the best example i can think of at the moment, but what else is buried in the code?
#
[Michael_Beckwit “friend of a friend” small details
#
GWG Mostly abandoned
#
[Michael_Beckwit no real issue believing that all in all
#
[Michael_Beckwit but part of me wants to help Shanske get some kick going again
#
GWG Kick?
#
[Michael_Beckwit in the abandoned features
#
[Michael_Beckwit put some life into them

[Michael_Beckwit buuuuut i also know getting core dev attention is very difficult, especially for not-super-valued-things
#
GWG Exactly

GWG !tell [pfefferle] I still want to get a new webmention release out this summer.
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

#
[chrisaldrich] !tell [Michael_Beckwith] You mean bringing attention to older useful things like the link manager? https://boffosocko.com/2017/11/10/a-following-page/

#
GWG [chrisaldrich]: I find it insufficient
[Michael_Beckwit joined the channel
#
[Michael_Beckwit definitely considerable. i purposely re-enabled it for one of my sites
#
GWG I want to reimplement it in the post table
#
GWG I need metadata
#
GWG https://codex.wordpress.org/Database_Description#Table:_wp_links
#
GWG Not enough
[smerrill] and [chrisaldrich] joined the channel
#
[chrisaldrich] GWG: yes, it could definitely be better/stronger... it is almost 13 years old now without any changes/improvements. I'm amazed it still works
#
[chrisaldrich] simplicity++
#
Loqi simplicity has 1 karma over the last year

#
GWG [chrisaldrich]: My citation plan is a link replacement
[schmarty] and [aaronpk] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] I would want it to be an h-feed of h-cards so I could subscribe and see when people I follow end up following new people
#
GWG That is a different project
#
GWG That's in the user table

[jgmac1106] this is pretty much an export of the WP links manager; http://jgregorymcverry.com/following.html

#
[jgmac1106] I think I just took the long ID property and turned it into a p-note
#
[jgmac1106] actually trying to think about how I will rebuild that feature, be nice if I didn't have to manually add everything and it could be just parsed
#
GWG We'll talk
#
GWG Did you know that you can add taxonomies to comments and to users in WordPress
#
[jgmac1106] No that is interesting, but should everyone I follow be a user on my site?
#
[jgmac1106] Though that would make private posting a bit easier
#
GWG Why not?
#
GWG A limited user
#
GWG They can log in and update their details on their own at any time
#
[jgmac1106] Interesting idea
#
GWG Had it for 3 years
#
[jgmac1106] Basically how BuddyPress works... With a ton more kruft and tools
#
GWG This is just the idea of an h-card import into a Wordpress user
#
GWG And then uses as an address book
#
GWG And follower list, etc

#
[chrisaldrich] If you have IndieAuth, couldn't they really just log in with their own website to do that sort of updating? Who needs yet another account?

GWG Exactly
#
GWG You are catching on
#
GWG And webmention
#
GWG I could use websub to subscribe to their profile
