[chrisbergr] Good morning, GWG 🙂
# [chrisbergr] It is 3:30pm on a working day. So until now there hasn't been anything exciting. A lot of client-related trouble.
# [chrisbergr] Starting on Monday, germany get it's second lockdown. The opposide of exitement from a general perspective. But.. That doesn't belong in this room...
# [chrisbergr] But the situation affects my productivity and motivation.

# [chrisbergr] Yeah, I noticed you were with your parents, right? I mean, on the government side. Luckily the schools and stores are still open, but who knows. I'm also in the home office since March, but since a few weeks I'm in the office 1 day a week again.
# [chrisbergr] But WordPress related: I got the inspiration earlier this day to do something with https://indieweb.org/Internet_Archive#Trigger_an_Archive - The mentioned WordPress plugin is out of date /down due to violations...
# [chrisbergr] That is also covered by my rough idea. Trigger the archive, get the url back and push it to syndication links

# [chrisbergr] Did you plan to add this to an existing plugin or writing a new one?
# [chrisbergr] Ok, I always forget that syndication links can do more than just display the URL's.
# [chrisbergr] Doing it standalone will provide benefit for wp users that don't have the need for the other functions of syndication links. Let's say someone only want to auto ping archive org.

[chrisaldrich] https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-archival/ will auto-ping the Internet Archive I think. Not sure what guideline they were going against that got them tossed out of the repository.
# [chrisaldrich] But it provides some preexisting code for WordPress if folks don't want to start from scratch.
# [chrisbergr] [chrisaldrich] I saw that. But I guess there is not much left to get.
# [chrisaldrich] He had a post about it with a link to the original in SVN if you want to grab it: https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/wordpress-internet-archive-plugin.html
# [chrisaldrich] It's hiding here I think: https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/post-archival/
# [chrisaldrich] It looks like the developer has moved away from WordPress a bit in the last year or so. He's gone to a static site using Nikola instead. Perhaps that has something to do with it's delisting?
# [chrisaldrich] Is there somewhere in the ecosystem to indicate more specifically why they've delisted plugins instead of the generic notice on the repository?
# [chrisbergr] That I can't answer. But thanks for providing those links
# [chrisaldrich] I think a version that dovetails with syndication links would be pretty cool though.
