# 12:00 GWG I really need to sit down and finish those bugfixes for Simple Location and Syndication Links so I can move on to the next thing on my list. # 12:01 GWG Simple Location needs to round weather data to two decimal points. and Syndication Links needs to improve the explanation of how the new micro.blog feature works. # 12:01 GWG Then I need to port some of the icon code I improved to the Indieweb plugin, which uses the same icon set.

# 12:01 [Rose] I would like the syndication widget in the editor to be checked if I've already syndicated something to micro.blog # 12:02 GWG That isn't in the current design. # 12:02 GWG There was a request to pre-check the box by default. # 12:03 GWG But I will have to think about how it would work. # 12:04 GWG [Rose]: Would disabled work for you? # 12:11 [Rose] I would like to be able to say "please syndicate my posts by default" # 12:12 [Rose] Which would then check my syndication options in the editor by default, and I could uncheck if I didn't want it to be syndicated jgmac1106 and [Rose]1 joined the channel
# 12:32 GWG [Rose]: I am sort of resistant to bringing back that feature # 12:40 [Rose]1 Based on post type would be an excellent idea. # 12:40 GWG I would be more comfortable with send all my notes to Twitter as opposed to send all my posts # 12:41 GWG I just have not been able to visualize the interface to set that up # 12:42 GWG I also have to factor in people who don't use post kinds and support post formats etc # 12:42 GWG The UI to configure would be complex # 12:46 GWG People who want to use a different taxonomy or a category, etc # 12:50 GWG The fact that I don't just want to do checked by default has caused me to not tackle the problem jgmac1106 joined the channel
# 13:18 [Rose]1 I wouldn't say you have to factor in the people who don't use post kinds. Just disable that area of the plugin if they don't have just? At least to start with. [davidmead], [jgmac1106], [grantcodes], jgmac1106, [KevinMarks] and ben_thatmustbeme joined the channel

# 17:58 GWG It would need to be per provider...so rows and columns. Afraid it might be too busy # 17:58 [Rose] I would suggest that you start with "auto syndicate" and add the providers later. [tantek], chrisaldrich, [schmarty], [davidmead] and [asuh] joined the channel
# 19:03 [asuh] I agree with [Rose] and I understand GWG’s concerns too. What about a standalone plugin, that hooks into Syndication Links, with the sole purpose of turning on one Post Kind to one service (microblog or twitter) by default, allowing encapsulated iterations, before integrating into Syndication Links. # 19:05 [asuh] turning on = POSSE the one Post Kind to one service # 19:20 chrisaldrich for the tape, I'll note that there's also been some discussion of this UI question in the #dev channel today.
