tantek: that makes sense. esp the point of implicitly up voting Facebook by a[href]ing to them
#
shaners
aaronpk: does the mf2 parser you use search by tag only or can you do css like search?

shaners
aaronpk: i.e., $("*[rel=me]") in query would find <link>s and <a>s, right?
#
tantek
re: /responses (e.g. likes, rsvps etc.), I'm starting to lean towards rejecting using rel for anything resembling a property of a post (h-entry)
#
tantek
and instead trying the path being explored by sandeepshetty and others about using new properties instead for each response type
#
tantek
e.g. class="u-like" on a link to something that is being liked
#
shaners
that last bit is what i've always planned for Homesteading, when i got to webactions
#
tantek
or implying the special reply type by the presence of another property, e.g. p-rsvp for rsvps
#
tantek
rather than adding new rel values that mean something special inside of a post
#
tantek
based on the awkwardness / difficulty of the brainstorming we've tried to do in http://indiewebcamp.com/responses - it feels like we're working too hard there for too little benefit
#
tantek
anyway, that was the insight I had and wanted to see what others thought about it
#
tantek
now that Mozilla's Social API has been expanded to have a "Save Bookmark" button (which some are saying is similar to like/favorite), it makes sense to try to sort this out a bit more
#

#
shaners
tantek: my plans for webactions are three main one: repost, reply, bookmark. bookmark can be optionally tagged with: read-later, watch-later, fave/like, private
#
shaners
bookmark is my collection for several "actions"
#
tantek
benwerd - you seem to have two embedded hyperlinks to the same thing here: http://werd.io/view/51d1fd3dbed7de817a526da2
#
tantek
search for u-like
#
href
so i'm working on a deployer/hosting service for static generators
#
href
and xtof got the idea of adding a WebMention api to that
#
href
i'll definitely work on that :)
#
benwerd
tantek - so I do
#
benwerd
thanks
#
shaners
benwerd: what are <wbr> tags?
#
tantek
shaners - will be interesting to see what buttons you publish on your permalinks
#
tantek
I've also got sketches for what buttons I want to publish as part of my permalink UI, but haven't implemented yet
#
shaners
tantek: yeah… one day. ;)
#
href
is there is a "client-side"(js) webmention API definied ?
#
tantek
the "View on Twitter" links are essentially the placeholder where the buttons are going to go
#
tantek
so even if you can't "favorite" from my permalinks, you can still "View on Twitter" and favorite there.
#
tantek
small steps
#
shaners
tantek: re: twitter, agreed
#
tantek
(and not being ashamed of taking small steps even while others leap forward :) )

#
shaners
holy shit. that's actually a thing?! who knew!
#
tantek
benwerd - so I'm no longer convinced of the utility (cost/benefit) of things like rel="object-of-like"
#
tantek
above and beyond just having properties like "u-like"
#
benwerd
tantek - understood. I think that makes sense
#
benwerd
keep it simple
#
benwerd
may include both for backwards compatibility for now
#
shaners
benwerd: backward compatibility with what?
#
tantek
I don't think anyone is consuming the rel object-of-* values
#
tantek
might be best to drop them before anyone does
#
tantek
shaners, right.
#
benwerd
isn't sandeep?
#
benwerd
anyhoo, I'll make that change tonight
#
shaners
i think it's funny that sandeep was the like 4th person or something to implement webmentions and he says he's "late to the party" http://www.sandeep.io/32
#
tantek
benwerd - pretty sure sandeep is only looking for the u-like markup
#
benwerd
then it shall be wiped
#
benwerd
amount of beer I consume in Oakland tonight permitting.
#
tantek
shaners - I think he's saying "a little late" because he did it ~2 months after the first set of folks getting it working
#
shaners
years from now we'll look back and laugh
#
tantek
I think also because he wrote the webmentions spec
#
shaners
stuffing a url in a url argument smells funny
#
tantek
shaners none of the example "like" posts do that so I'm not sure what you mean. http://indiewebcamp.com/like#IndieWeb_Experiments
#
tantek
shaners AFAIK no one is doing that so it's not a "problem" yet. :)
#
shaners
great!
#
tantek
his post proposed a bunch of things, some of which have gotten some uptake
#
tantek
so let's focus on those

tantek: your thoughts on rel match what I've been thinking. I haven't really found a reason for rel=object-of-like or anything yet, I was planning to do u-like and such when I get to it

also because rel values apply to the page, so showing anything in a list view can't use the actual rel="" tag

Loqi
aaronpk has 196 karma
#
tantek
shaners - for these same reasons we may need to iterate on XFN and make u-* based rather than just rel value based. (your example with rel=spouse made me think about this again)
#
shaners
hahaha
#
aaronpk
shaners: wrt <link> tag, yes, something like $("*[rel=me]") would work. I just have to figure out the syntax for that in the parser
#
tantek
can I just say that I think it's hilarious that you're POSSEing to Medium?
#
aaronpk
shaners: right now i'm using Mechanize which has a ".links" property off a page: https://github.com/aaronpk/IndieAuth/blob/master/lib/relparser.rb#L113
#
shaners
tantek: you sure can ;)
#
benwerd
wait, what?
#
benwerd
shaners - are you doing it manually, or ..?

aaronpk: yes
#

ah, ok :)

i also have to hand crank my modem to get any internets :P

somewhere I thought I saw a handcrank USB charger - you know, for when we have power outages (but cell towers still work thanks to their backup batteries)

also a good reason to have a external laptop battery as well

aaronpk your "custom search engine" hack for replies is hilariously awesome :)
#
aaronpk
i'm gonna call it good there for a while, that'll get me pretty far and I can start working on other stuff
#
aaronpk
actually I might turn it into a bookmarklet too, and use it from a button in my browser
#
tantek
definitely
#
aaronpk
actually I think it'll just work if I copy+paste that...
#
tantek
would work well as a demo/prototype to encourage the Social API folks (cc: mixedpuppy) to add a "reply" button next to the "share" button.
#
aaronpk
oh yea done
#
aaronpk

aaronpk
cleans up his bookmarks bar to make a video
#
tantek
bret you have some typos in http://bret.io/2013/08/08/t5/ - missing a couple of es
#
tantek
perhaps you can try updating it s/reciving indiweb/receiving indieweb/
#
tantek
and rewebmentioning http://www.sandeep.io/123 to see if sandeep has the "update" part of comment CRUD working :)
#
aaronpk
oh dear, I re-read it twice and still didn't see the typos
#
tantek
aaronpk - I'm looking forward to when someone implements: http://indiewebcamp.com/sign-in-use-cases#minor_edits with a whitelist of indieauth domain sign-ins :)
#
tantek
theoretically if bret had you and me listed with minor-edit permissions, we could fix his comment and send the webmention for him :)
#
aaronpk
indeed. my guess is benwerd is most likely to first since he has a nice post editing interface already. I can't even edit my posts from a web page yet ;
#
tantek
yeah, web-based editing UI is kind of a pre-req for this.
#
tantek
but that would require idno to support indieauth sign-ins :)
#
aaronpk
also true :)
#
benwerd
again, idno does have full permissions under the hood - just need to expose them and wire up auth.
#
aaronpk
it's on the list
#
benwerd
it's definitely on the list.
#
benwerd
er, auth on mine.
#
aaronpk
that's what I was referring to as well :)
#
benwerd
oh, ok :)
#
aaronpk
ooh already has permissions too? yea you are well set up for that
#
tantek
that's going to make for an epic demo
#
benwerd
yeah, everything's hardcoded to public and solo edit perms in the actions, but with an actual interface on permissions, you could have all kinds of nuances
#
tantek
way more effective than the "roles" discussions that were going on yesterday at the workshop
#
benwerd
I. hate. roles
#
benwerd
just doesn't jibe with how I think
#
benwerd
about the world, or software
scor joined the channel
#
tantek
benwerd - would appreciate your reviewing of http://indiewebcamp.com/sign-in-use-cases in that case
#
benwerd
I have to run in a mo, but will add that to the reading list after aaronpk's auth docs
#
tantek
and how many of those (and in what priority order) you would find useful for idno
#
benwerd
will absolutely do that
#
aaronpk
oh yea I zoned out for most of the roles stuff
#
aaronpk
just froze my avocado chocolate mousse and now it's basically ice cream :) :)

I like this phrase: "a web-wide #indieweb reply button" from https://twitter.com/Sociability/status/365604634418622465
#
@Sociability
★ There is a browser extension that could be a web-wide #indieweb reply button: https://github.com/barnabywalters/web-action-hero-toolbelt (via @kevinmarks)
#
tantek
bret - np :)
#
tantek
thank you kevinmarks for such good live-tweeting
#
aaronpk
agreed!
#
benwerd
kevinmarks = event documentation superhero
#
tantek
finding some good content on http://tagboard.com/indieweb
#
aaronpk
oh hey they search app.net too
#
aaronpk
i should make loqi search app.net
#
Loqi
it is probable
#
tantek
still amazes me what the power is of naming something that was previously unnamed. I suppose same impulse motivates bikeshedding.
#
aaronpk
naming things is super important
#
tantek
once you name it, it becomes a potential building block
#
aaronpk
hm, how do I reply to this guy on app.net
#
aaronpk
my replies feed is not syndicated to app.net cause that would be noisy (lots of replies to non-app.net users), and even if it was, it wouldn't thread as a reply to his post
#
tantek
why wouldn't it thread?
#
aaronpk
cause the pourover thing doesn't set a reply-to-id
#
@EvanLovely
RT @brianjesse: is there a simple app that just sends #ios notification of new items in a feed? #rss #indieweb thx
(twitter.com/_/status/366002693761806337)
#
tantek
a-ha! so we need to figure out / add something to http://indiewebcamp.com/App.net#POSSE_to_ADN that is the equivalent of http://indiewebcamp.com/Twitter#POSSE_Replies_to_Tweets
#
tantek
or is there a way to make a feature request in pourover?
#
aaronpk
might be
#
aaronpk
the one downside to pourover is that it's all pubsubhubbub based so it's reading my xml feed
#
tantek
point out that we're doing this with Twitter the hard way, would be nice to do it with App.net the "easy way" :)
#
aaronpk
probably what I should do is drop my xml feed and create it like I create my JSON feed, running it through a parser rather than having it be a separate view of my site
#
tantek
looks for voidfiles
#
tantek
aaronpk it is probable
#
aaronpk
really we need a good h-entry -> atom service
#
tantek
sandeep built on
#
tantek

#
Loqi
tantek meant to say: sandeep built one
#
aaronpk
i should probably read our wiki more
#
Loqi
fo sho

tantek: anyway, we're going to need a way for the atom feed to specify an "in reply to" URL
#
tantek
Atom has a link rel in-reply-to

aaronpk: or anyone in portland recommend a way to get home at 2 in the morning from PDX?
#
bret
my flight got staggered
#
aaronpk
bret: flying out of SFO?
#
bret
is there like a shared shuttle that would be cheaper?
#
aaronpk
don't know. it'll be like $30 or so if you call radio cab and ask for the radio flyer rate
#
tantek
bret - can you demand the airline give you a travel voucher for the inconvenience?
#
bret
Do we have a wiki page of dead or dying standards, and what went wrong?
#
tantek
since they disrupted your plans?
#
tantek
bret - better to just document each dead/dying standard on its own, along with the modern replacement
#
bret
ha well, i was gettingg in at 1 not sure if its that much a diff
#
tantek
bret - doesn't hurt to ask
#
aaronpk
unfortunately it's SFO's fault, not the airline's
#
bret
tantek ill try though :)
#
tantek
too bad james_m_snell is gone
#
bret
I could say that the person who was picking me up couldn't do it later
#
bret
Sandeep has crud :)
#
tantek
bret - woohoo!
#
tantek
crud receiving even
#
aaronpk
aw man why does it have to be in an xml namespace? <thr:in-reply-to>
#
aaronpk
bret: you could ask for them to pay for your cab ride haha
#
bret
PLus its like, I can't tell the cap when Im going to be in
#
bret
"your flight will be late, but maybe not"
#
aaronpk
bret: it's easy to call a cab when you land. as soon as you walk off the plane call radio cab and they'll be downstairs by the time you walk out
#
aaronpk
i do that all the time
#
aaronpk
holy crap i'm glad I got them to rebook my flight last night... it was supposed to be the 8:10pm flight and they ended up leaving SFO at 2:52am
#
tantek
aaronpk - attempting to load up your Atom feed with more semantics is going to be a painful path
#
tantek
Atom XML is a dead-end
#
bret
OPML!
#
tantek
maybe a better approach is to ask for pourover to start consuming h-entry
#
tantek
bret - feel free to create a /OPML page on the wiki :)
#
aaronpk
tantek: I agree, but I'm looking for a path-of-least-resistance approach for app.net
#
bret
if they do h-atom
#
tantek
it may not be least resistance if no one is implementing the atom threading extensions currently
#
aaronpk
they already set up infrastructure to consume a PuSH feed of atom
#
bret
ah, right
#
tantek
besides, asking them to implement something which is an apparently dead standard is not necessarily a good approach either
#
tantek
reduces reputation capital etc.
#
tantek
is going out to get a sandwich
#
aaronpk
we need push for h-entry
#
aaronpk
which technically shouldn't need to be any different than existing PuSH
#
aaronpk
because I don't think the resource that is PuSH enabled is required to be Atom
#
tantek
aaronpk - indeed - been asking Brett Slatkin / Julien for that for a while now
#
bret
aaronpk: would julienne be willing to work on that?
#
aaronpk
well the good news is there's a new giant source of h-entrys!
#
aaronpk
app.net!
#
tantek
right!
#
bret
julian*
#
bret
so PuSH hubs are not content agnostic?
#
aaronpk
PuSH is content agnostic
#
aaronpk
"Similarly, for HTML pages..."
#
aaronpk
can I also say thank you to the people that decided to use regular form-encoding for the PuSH setup requests vs xmlrpc?
#
aaronpk
yea we can just use this
#
bret
Also wtf is pubsubhub?

aaronpk

#
bret
How are we handling non-response, but directed at a person posts? Just web mention the root domain for that person right?
#
aaronpk
think of webmention as a way of letting the person know your page linkde to their page, nothing more
#
aaronpk
so the link is there, they're going to find it one way or another. sending a webmention just makes it more realtime
#
bret
Tried to do that to benwerd the other day, but he wasn't accepting web mentions unless it was attached to an item
#
aaronpk
ah yea
#
bret
Its more like an indieweb mention, with an optional reply context rather than comments….. how does twitter talk about this stuff?
#
bret
on notes
#
aaronpk
if you @reply someone on twitter they see it in the list of their mentions, just like you'd expect
#
bret
but that not a comment, right
#
aaronpk
a comment has to be in response to a post
#
aaronpk
what's the issue?
#
bret
I'm confused on the difference between a comment and a reply
#
aaronpk
we've had this discussion before
#
bret
other than one is a reply to a post
#
aaronpk
also does it really matter?
#
bret
probrably not :P
#
bret
thanks aaronpk
#
aaronpk
new problem: my posts do not have a "u-syndication" link to the app.net version, because my code has no idea that app.net syndicated my post
#
aaronpk
possible solution: app.net sends me a webmention when they pull in one of my posts. since I'd parse it and see their u-url link back to my post, I can recognize that and add the u-syndication link in my post
#
aaronpk
!tell voidfiles what happened to the u-url markup on the link back to my post? I thought the "from aaronparecki.com" text used to have a class of "u-url". Example of parsed post here: http://pin13.net/mf2/?url=https%3A%2F%2Falpha.app.net%2Faaronpk%2Fpost%2F8667079
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
aaronpk
man I really like sandeep's format of super short articles
#
aaronpk
a nice side effect is http://www.sandeep.io/indieweb/ ends up being a miniblog of indieweb stuff
#
aaronpk
!tell barnabywalters you should syndicate this reply to indienews since the original article is also on indienews! http://waterpigs.co.uk/notes/4RPKPs/ which brings up a question of whether that kind of thing should happen automatically!
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell him that when I see him next
#
aaronpk
e.g. my post is in-reply-to post X. I parse post X and see a u-syndication link that I recognize (Twitter, IndieNews, App.net, etc) and if I recognize it then I also include a u-syndication link to the same place
#
aaronpk
that would enable automatic threading of conversations on twitter, app.net, indienews, etc
#
aaronpk
come to think of it this is already described on the posse to twitter page
#
aaronpk
it shoud just be made more generic
#
tantek
really needs to split the comment page into comment vs. reply pages

bret
every two lines provides all the nessisary info to send a web mention for a post
#
bret
I want to get it down to one line per post
#
tantek
ah ok
#
shaners
bret: and then you run those by hand?
#
bret
thats what I am doing right now, yes, but once I get the one liners, it is one step closer to automating
#
bret
Ben suggested xmlint, but if anyone else recommends a way to parse the href out of a rel="http://webmention.org/" with curl I'm all ears
eschnou joined the channel
#
tantek
from which you can check the rels dictionary
#
tantek
and lookup ["http:\/\/webmention.org\/"]
#
tantek
and just grab the first item of that array [0]
#
tantek
http:\/\/pingback.me\/bcomnes\/webmention
#
bret
since this is only temporary, I don't think it would be that offensive to use pin13 as part of the manual flow

tantek: any recommendation on CLI toosl to parse json?
#
tommorris
bret: for debugging, I recommend `python -mjson.tool` - will throw an error if the JSON isn't valid, and it pretty prints it
#
tommorris
otherwise, Your Favourite Programming Langauge. Ruby, Python etc.
#
bret
the bigger question is how to get these pairs of commands into one line: http://bret.io/pages/outbox/
#
bret
i might be too burnt out to work on this tonight
#
aaronpk
bret: I think I can hack something up with sed
#
aaronpk
although you know if you're already running a ruby stack to generate the jekyll site you might as well do this in ruby
#
bret
I'm not always on the same computer with ruby
#
aaronpk
ah right cause of prose.io
#
aaronpk
bret: ok this gives you the webmention endpoint:
#
aaronpk
curl -i -s http://www.sandeep.io/123 | grep 'rel="http://webmention.org/"' | sed 's/rel="http:\/\/webmention.org\/"//' | grep -o -E 'https?://[^ ">]+' | sort | uniq
#
aaronpk
so here is your one-liner:
#
aaronpk
curl -i -d "source=http://bret.io/2013/08/08/t5/&target=http://www.sandeep.io/123" `curl -i -s http://www.sandeep.io/123 | grep 'rel="http://webmention.org/"' | sed 's/rel="http:\/\/webmention.org\/"//' | grep -o -E 'https?://[^ ">]+' | sort | uniq`

maybe there is just too much variance to do this with just the html

need to uF parse it first?

let me see

but i am just getting confused by that

remind me never to fly to SFO again. stick with OAK
#

I'm going to go talk to them

did you have to pay to do that?

no, alaska offered to switch me

unfortunately I don't think there are any other options going back to portland tonight. but yea go talk to them

#
hadleybeeman
tantek, are you all working on reader tools as well as publishing ones?
#
tantek
some folks are yes, as that is a logical step
#
tantek
personal reader tools in particular, integrated into the personal posting flow
#
hadleybeeman
Dependent on outgoing APIs from silos? (And RSS/ATOM, etc)
#
tantek
since integrated reading/posting UIs (e.g. Twitter, FB) have effectively obsoleted standalone "readers" (RSS readers/aggregators etc.)
#
hadleybeeman
What does "personal reader" mean?
#
tantek
it means it's on your site
#
hadleybeeman
but pulling content from anywhere? (in any format?)
#
tantek
folks building readers are starting with pulling from indieweb sources of course, for which all they need to do is read the h-entry content from the HTML
#
tantek
which most such folks are already doing for comments and reply-context scenarios
#
tantek
thus "reading" is just another view
#
hadleybeeman
That makes sense.
#
tantek
well that's f-d up - the first Google result for "reader" is Google Reader
#
hadleybeeman
(I haven't thought through this part of the user journey before. I appreciate you entertaining my questions.)
#
tantek
(before Adobe Reader)
#
hadleybeeman
That's funny. The Indexing team obviously haven't caught up with the Product Strategy team.
#
tantek
(first result)
#
hadleybeeman
It's even better that the summary begins, "Google Reader has been discontinued."
#
tantek
that's not what I see
#
tantek
I see "A description for this result is not available because of this site's robots.txt – learn more."
#
hadleybeeman
Odd. Maybe because I'm on google.co.uk?
#
hadleybeeman
"Google Reader has been discontinued. We want to thank all our loyal fans. We understand you may not agree with this decision, but we hope you'll come to love ..."
#
tommorris
tantek: yeah, google reader is top result for me too. ;)
#

I'm somewhat disappointed that the WP article for 'Reader (academic rank)' is so low on that page. ;)

pretty sure sandeepshetty or eschnou was working on integrated reading on their personal sites too
#
tommorris
I'm using feedbin.me for my reading, and a very average iOS app called Mr Reader.
#
tantek
!tell sandeepshetty if you're still working on an integrated reader in/on your site for yourself, could you add a comment about it here? http://indiewebcamp.com/reader#Indieweb_perspective
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
hadleybeeman
Thanks, tantek.
#
tommorris
but building the reader into my site might make sense
#
tantek
!tell eschnou if you're still working on an integrated reader in/on your site for yourself, could you add a comment about it here? http://indiewebcamp.com/reader#Indieweb_perspective
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
tantek
tommorris - it's part of the whole replace having to use silo UX at all
#
tantek
if you had reading built into your own site, would you ever need to visit Twitter or touch a Twitter client again?
#
tantek
or could your own site provide you with a superset of Twitter-like functionality?
#
tommorris
well twitter with better filtering and non-twitter sources.;)
#
hadleybeeman
Oh, also, tantek — I saw some reference (of yours) somewhere to an anti-prism article... something like #ownyourdata #yestheydo —
#
tantek
exactly, superset
#
hadleybeeman
has anyone written on the indieweb and government surveillance?

I fixed my site's crapy twitter posting earlier btw.
#
tantek
hadleybeeman - checkout those two articles
#
tommorris
some of my posts weren't being syndicated out.
#
hadleybeeman
So the general approach is "if you do it yourself, then you'll be able to control who has access?" (Well, moreso)
#
tommorris
I'm sure that the NSA can get my SSH keys. But it may be a tiny bit harder than them getting my Gmail password.
#
bret
tantek: Do you know if iwc2013 was ever written up by the guy from wired?
#
tommorris
That said, the best policy is to treat ALL internet communications as possibly public
#
tantek
bret - haven't seen it - maybe he's doing it for the print version?
#
tantek
tommorris - unfortunately true
#
tommorris
If you wouldn't say it in front of your mother or it would cause you great embarassment if it were on page one of the NYT, don't put it on the Internet
#
tommorris
has learned this the hard way a few times. ;)
#
bret
It's insane that I can't set up my own zrtp server in an afternoon
#
hadleybeeman
tommorris: for us, yes. I agree. But for planning out an internet that will work for the world: some semblance of trust is important.
#
bret
Anyone understand what the open mustard seed thing was?
#
tommorris
incidentally, this is one of the reasons why I got very annoyed by a lot of federated-social-networking stuff. every vaguely sane proposal was blocked by privacy people because it failed to solve the problem of privacy.
#
tommorris
even though you basically can't solve the privacy problem
#
tommorris
it's not a technical problem, it's a human problem
#
tommorris
it stems from the fact that people are stupid and will do stupid things with technology.
#
bret
tommorris: Are you using rdfa on your site?
#
tantek
tommorris - so we eventually started to ignore the privacy people because they didn't selfdogfood
#
hadleybeeman
Well, I'm not just thinking about sharing content on the social web. Bank transactions, purchases, diplomacy... all this stuff depends on the same infrastructure.
#
tommorris
bret: yep, a bit.
#
tantek

#
bret

#
tantek
hadleybeeman - in general this is pretty well-curated list: http://indiewebcamp.com/Posts_about_the_IndieWeb
#
tommorris
bret: because I'm a die-hard semweb masochist freak.
#
tommorris
albeit a practical die-hard semweb masochist freak. that's why I publish microformats too.
#
hadleybeeman
Anyway, overall I'm trying to find ways to take what is happening here, in the indieweb community, and extrapolate it into the government-based "how should the Internet work?" conversations.
#
tommorris
and also why I'm writing a microformats2 parser
#
tantek
tommorris - that being said, I'd be interested to know your opinion of trying to use h-card gender/sex properties and note what's lacking
#
hadleybeeman
So even the privacy stuff (which may be out of scope here) can grow from what you're doing.
#
tantek
hadleybeeman - yes it likely can
#
bret
What advantages does rdf have?
#
tantek
it's just that focusing on privacy first is a dead-end
#
hadleybeeman
Here, yes.
#
tantek
bret - I see you're committing to keeping yourself awake ;)
#
tommorris
Diaspora was privacy-first.
#
bret
tantek: Unfortunately. Waiting for a cab.
#
tommorris
bret: RDF lets you express richer semantics, at the cost of increased complexity.
#
tantek
tommorris - the eating preferences thing I'd like to figure out too
#
tantek
since I do publicly post my eating preferences
#
bret
tommorris: do you also do micro data?
#
tantek
and I feel like there's some sort of nerd pizza-ordering application potential that could read people's preferences
#
bret
Haha!
#
tommorris
bret: no to microdata.
#
bret
Slash pizza
#
tommorris
tantek: I published an RDFa-ish schema at http://schema.tommorris.org/diet
#
bret
The schema.org guy got railed on this week
barnabywalters joined the channel
#
tantek
tommorris - did you do any research of existing dietary formats/schema? e.g. airline preferences? w3c conference preferences?
#
Loqi
barnabywalters: aaronpk left you a message 8 hours, 21 minutes ago: you should syndicate this reply to indienews since the original article is also on indienews! http://waterpigs.co.uk/notes/4RPKPs/ which brings up a question of whether that kind of thing should happen automatically!
#
hadleybeeman
yes, please! to pizza ordering apps. No gluten on mine, thanks.
#
tantek
any preferences would need to capture nuances like allergy, religious, etc.
#
tommorris
Well, I figure it's one of those incremental things.
#
tommorris
Being able to get a rough idea of the number of vegetarians and vegans would be a start
#
tantek
where allergy really means none at all - safety issue
#
barnabywalters
religious aversion to pizza? that’s not something I’ve come across before
#
tantek
religious might mean if it's unnoticeable, don't ask / don't tell
#
barnabywalters
good morning indiewebcamp
#
tommorris
hey barnabywalters
#
tantek
barnabywalters, e.g. religious aversion to use of any cooking / food prep utensils/facilities that have touched pork
#
tommorris
tantek: and, no, no research, I'm afraid.
#
barnabywalters
ah, of course
#
tommorris
well, also, religious preferences may include not eating at certain times
#
hadleybeeman
You know, actually, tommorris — finding restaurants for Sunday dinners would be so much easier if we could do this ad cross reference it against marked-up data from the venues
#
tantek
but in practice that's mostly a choice of don't tell me
#
bret
Mmm pork
#
tantek
tommorris - ah, classic semweb schema style then (make it up without research into priori art ;) )
#

#
tommorris
while leaving it open for others to tell me I'm wrong
#
bret
I wonder if it would be more helpful to run pump.io and help implement idieweb stuff their. Pondering that after this week
#
tommorris
using dbpedia for the values means there's a community who've thought about it a bit.
#
bret
There
#
hadleybeeman
How are you all running #indiewebcamp? Is it a proper barcamp, with sessions?
#
tantek
tommorris - I don't trust "thought about it" any more from folks who don't publish their work/research openly on the web
#

it's like, if you've thought about it, citation needed
#

Hmm. I want to get some discussion going about what changes in governments/policy would support this. Internet governance is, in many ways, up for grabs. And there isn't enough clear thinking in the space.
#
hadleybeeman
Is that something we could use IWC for? Or is it hacking-on-your-own time?
#
tommorris
I'm not sure what sort of relationship would exist between government/policy and indieweb. We could get David Cameron to stop tweeting and start POSSEing, maybe. ;)

Or Obama. Or government departments.

aaronpk: RE syndicating comments to indienews, I added rel-syndication to that note and sent a webmention, the response said success but I can’t see the comment on news.indiewebcamp.com…?
#

In fact, I know the BBC have had complaints about how much they push Twitter with people saying that it's kind of mad that license fee funded content is only available on a commercially run social network rather than on the ad-free (and corporate-surveillance-free) BBC website
#
barnabywalters

#

#
tantek
hey bret - now that you've landed, would appreciate your thoughts on: http://indiewebcamp.com/POSSE#CRUD
#
hadleybeeman
(and that has knock-on effects for ownership of data, central points for surveillance, etc.)
#
bret
I'm about to go to sleep but I will tomorrow
#
tantek
hadleybeeman - I'm afraid the kind of thinking you're asking for is pretty far out - at least until people involved in those circles start sefldogfooding.
#
tantek
bret - totally fair. I should be asleep but made the mistake (much earlier this evening) of watching ep1 of that Netflix Orange Black show - too disturbing :(
#
tommorris
hadleybeeman: yesterday, I spent an hour with my head inside a Java debugger. privacy and surveillance and public policy is a bit beyond my pay grade. :)
#
hadleybeeman
then one of the questions I think we should be asking is "how should this all be balanced out? Who should have the power? And what do we need to build to get us there?"
#
tantek
hadleybeeman - sounds like you should write a short blog post about that :)
#
tantek
and with that I'm going to try to actually get some sleep :/
#
hadleybeeman
Sleep well.
#
Loqi
don't let the bed bugs bite
#
hadleybeeman
tommorris, isn't this exactly the sort of thinking that started the indieweb movement in the first place?
#
tommorris
hadleybeeman: I'm not sure it was so much Edward Snowden and Wikileaks that started most of us off as getting irritated by Twitter's API changes and so on.
#
tommorris
it's frustration-driven-development rather than grand-ideology-driven-development
#
hadleybeeman
Sure. But the common thread is not having control over your own stuff, no?
#
tommorris
and more broadly, I'd like to own a lot more of my own data
#
tommorris
I'd much rather my health records were an encrypted USB stick that I could set the permissions on rather than a gigantic national database
#
tommorris
I'd rather like it if the British Library didn't keep meticulous records of every book I requested in the reading room
#
tommorris
or rather, they would notify me for my own records and then destroy their own records after 30 days
#
tommorris
I'd like it if I could get the records the government keeps on me, not as a one-off freedom-of-information or subject access request, but as a sort of WebHook-style API
#
tommorris
I'd like it if I could sign contracts digitally and deliver them in an encrypted way.
#
tommorris
I'd like it if the government and banks could trust my GPG signature more than they trusted my easily-impersonated physical signature
#
tommorris
Apparenlty, if you can write my name on a piece of paper, you can convince people that you are me for legal purposes.
#
hadleybeeman
And why, tommorris? Some of this is for simplicity sake — life gets easier for you. But ideologically, why is this how you think it should work for everyone?
#
barnabywalters
I’d like it if I could access the status of all the various tax/business/government stuff I have to do, visualise it and automate it
#
barnabywalters
but that’s convenience more than data control
#
hadleybeeman
There's a good (governmental) argument for convenience too, barnabywalters. It usually means more time for doing jobs/making money/economy growing.
#
hadleybeeman
(Oh, and happy voters, as well.)
#
tommorris
hadleybeeman: because there are certain expectations we have about how the world operates in physical space, and I'd like to see something similar on the internet.
#
tommorris
like, if you go into a bar and, say, drink a bit too much, you know that the bar owner isn't going to take the CCTV tapes and distribute them to friends for a laugh
#
tommorris
being able to see how the system operates means one can make decisions about how to live and act in a more informed way
#
tommorris
as for the privacy point, I think that anonymity is a great thing.
#
tommorris
one of the things I loved most about living in a city is relative anonymity
#
tommorris
I've lived in the countryside, in a small community, and I hate curtain-twitching gossips.
#
hadleybeeman
That's how I grew up too
#
tommorris
I dislike, say, libraries keeping records of all the books I borrow for the same reason I dislike nosy neighbours keeping tabs on who visits my house
#
hadleybeeman
Given that the capacity exists for keeping those records, I'm guessing you don't support pulling the capacity (all databases) out of libraries, right?
#
tommorris
no, but I'd like the ability to log in and say "forget everything before this date", or be able to download a usable copy of it
#
hadleybeeman
So would it be enough to solve the problem to say, "You're not allowed to use this data in that way? Or run these types of queries on it?"
#
tommorris
I'd like for the government to reach a point where they can trust me not to need that data. ;)
#
hadleybeeman
But the libraries still need to now that someone likes all the different genres you like, so they can put books in the right libraries, no? </devil's advocate>
#
barnabywalters
it would be enough for the data to be tangible — it needs to be obviously accessible, easy to read, easy to delete
#
barnabywalters
but then there’s the question of “did I actually delete this or did they keep a copy”
#
tommorris
(well, in the case of libraries, I don't think they should be driven exclusively or primarily by borrowing data but by the expert judgments of librarians and by the difficulty of acquisition in a free market.)
#
tommorris
(that is, libraries exist to serve some kind of Platonic Knowledge and Taste rather than populist tastes.)
#
hadleybeeman
Tommorris: and you would deprive them of usage data to inform their rx
#
tommorris
(but that's an aside)
#
hadleybeeman
S/rx/expert view
#
tommorris
anonymized data is fine, sure. personally identifiable information shouldn't be
#
tommorris
there's actually a big difference between here and the US
#
tommorris
in the US, they delete library borrowing information very quickly after a person has returned a book - usually within a few days
#
tommorris
when the US government after 9/11 wanted to use library borrowing records to identify terror suspects, the librarians were courageous in saying no
#
hadleybeeman
Barnabywalters: Is that a question of whether or not you trust them to execute your delete command?
#
tommorris
and saying that borrowing a Qu'ran doesn't make you a suspect, it only means you are a person who wants to read a Qu'ran.
#
tommorris
here: libraries keep extensive records of what you read and hand them over to the police on request.
#
tommorris
the problem is that the inference done on this data isn't visible to the subjects of the data
#
hadleybeeman

#
barnabywalters
hadleybeeman: yes
#
tommorris
hadleybeeman: it was, and librarians very valiantly refused the USA PATRIOT Act demands, and deleted records rather than hand them over. Librarians are badasses.
#
barnabywalters
tommorris: were they labelled traitors?
#
hadleybeeman
Barnabywalters: And that's because you know (as a developer) that keeping a copy is a relatively trivial thing to do, right?
#
tommorris
Oh, most probably.
#
barnabywalters
hadleybeeman: indeed
#
hadleybeeman
(that's awesome, tommorris)
#
hadleybeeman
Right, barnabywalters: if I were sitting next to you, I could pick up your laptop and walk off with it, could
#
hadleybeeman
Nt
#
hadleybeeman
Couldn't I?
#
barnabywalters
hadleybeeman: well, I wouldn’t be very happy about it, but it could happen :)
#
tommorris
hadleybeeman: that reminds me, at my birthday party, did you meet @shimgray?
#
hadleybeeman
Understandably. :) And we have a) expectations of behaviour that tell me I shouldn't, and b) laws and consequences for me if I do.
#
tommorris
hadleybeeman: he's now a really amazing job - he's the librarian for the British Antarctic Survey.
#
hadleybeeman
But we haven't had to make it impossible for me to take your laptop.
#
tommorris
@generalising rather
#
barnabywalters
hadleybeeman: yep, and even if the details of the laws aren’t widely known, there’s wide awareness of them
#
hadleybeeman
So my question is... can we do the same thing with data management?

#
barnabywalters
if you took my laptop, I can say with certainty that you’ve taken it. I no longer have it, and you’re holding it. If you give it back, I now have it again. if you make a copy of my data, then tell me to delete it… I have no way of verifying that

#
barnabywalters
the way computers work make it very easy to lie about things
#
hadleybeeman
That's true
#
hadleybeeman
the verification is a lot harder.
#
hadleybeeman
Would you feel better if the punishment for lying were more severe?
#
barnabywalters
and encryption doesn’t solve anything if at any point the information becomes decrypted, which is useful for actually using it
#
barnabywalters
hadleybeeman: if it’s near-impossible to verify that someone is lying, that doesn’t fix much
#
tommorris
hadleybeeman: I'd feel a lot better if the ICO had some teeth. the overriding of the ICO's decision on Prince Charles' letters by the Attorney General gives me good reason to think that they aren't as useful as they could be
#
tommorris
I'd feel a lot better if every government database project wasn't such a cock-up.
#
hadleybeeman
Hmm. But if we can't trust anyone, then things grind to a halt. So there has to be some combination of "the risk is worth it," there's accountability, and users have control over what goes out about them. (Perhaps)
#
hadleybeeman
tommorris, not every government database project IS a cock-up. Just the ones that make the press.
#
tommorris
there've been some corkers though
#
hadleybeeman
But if we're dreaming, then what kind of teeth *should* the Information Commissioner have?

barnabywalters
talking of data tangibility: how does one actually make a FOI request? in what sort of format is the data?

hadleybeeman: power to physically remove and destroy servers if big companies fail to adhere to privacy law? ;-)

I'm not sure where you are, but at least in the UK you can either send a letter or post it on a site like whatdotheyknow.com, where the responses are made public
#
hadleybeeman
Okay, tommorris. Build the case. Why would that help?

it'd have to be EU-wide, but "hey, the cops have come in and destroyed our expensive boxen" may give companies a certain kick up the arse to comply with privacy laws.

hadleybeeman
What would clearer T&Cs accomplish?

well, it means individual users would be able to make decisions about social network use that don't require a lawyer

There doesn't seem to be a section on how to implement POSSE, moreso touting its benefits. I'm obviously missing something here :)
#

cjopcjop POSSE is a technique that you can implement in any blog posting software, to any set of possible POSSE destinations
#
tantek
right now there is no one POSSE implementation technique, it's per silo

#
aaronpk
shaners: I would choose vegetarian out of that list, but I also have further (voluntary) restrictions
#
shaners
aaronpk: right. i think there's a case for like "high level label" and "additional nuances". like tantek's diet page. he's a "pescatarian" but then has additional food prefs.
#
shaners
i'm a "vegan" (and don't eat honey). and *don't like* most pickled things, for example.
#
shaners
but just a high level label would get us pretty far
#
aaronpk
I guess what are the use cases for machine readable data vs human readable data
#
aaronpk
cause it's too easy to go down the rabbit hole of trying to model and mark everything up in a machine readable way
#
shaners
but, i haven't done any research about how other people are doing it or what others' needs are. so anything past "what i'd do on my site/s" would be talking out of my ass.
#
shaners
aaronpk: just spitballing here, do you think this would be a p-diet (or whatever property name) on an h-card. or an h-diet (or whatever name)?
#
aaronpk
tommorris uses u-x-dietary-preference and links to an HTML page with more info. I like that approach
#
aaronpk
lets you do "I am vegetarian" with a link to more info, rather than embedding everything in the h-card
#
aaronpk
although yea we'd still need a property for the high level list of preferences in addition to the url
#
tommorris
I also have another human readable page - http://wiki.tommorris.org/Explaining_vegetarianism

oh wow you have a mediawiki too?

In addition, when booking airline food, one is usually asked "Meal Preference"
#
tommorris
The orientation/preference distinction is important w/r/t sexuality but not quite so important w/r/t diet, precisely because there's not a political lobby out there claiming that the etiology of someone's nut allergy should determine whether their nut allergy is respected or not.
#
tommorris
I'm as close as one gets to born vegetarian. Ever since I had a conscious choice, about 4 or 5 y.o, I've been vegetarian.

have never eaten meat

Hi, I'm thinking about building my own website based on the indieweb principals, are there other good sources of info other than indiewebcamp.com (allready going through that..) ?
#
shaners
hi SRCR!
#
aaronpk
SRCR: the indiewebcamp wiki has a lot of info, and in some places links out to microformats.org for more detailed info on the various markup. the indiewebcamp wiki is a great place to start!
#
shaners
That should get you started. ;)
#
shaners
but honestly, here's what you *really* need to start with:
#
shaners
1. own your domain
#
shaners
2. put an h-card on your homepage
#
shaners
3. rel-me any external silo links on your homepage
#
shaners
4. mark up posts in h-entry
#
shaners
that's the starting off point
#
shaners
from there, you can choose which direction to go with it
#
SRCR
Ok, Well I got point 1 covered (I got 2 of those :)
#
shaners
everyone seems to have their own reasons for doing the #indieweb stuffs. and that's great. it means that we exercise ideas in different areas.
#
shaners
btw, SRCR, how did you fall into this?
#
SRCR
I was borking on having a site build on one ot them I tried Idno and Storytlr, but didn't like that personally

#
SRCR
Well I have been trying to build a own site earlier base more on the PESOS principal (activetystream) but never got it of the ground really.
#
SRCR
Then I read up on the indiewebcamp stuff not sure how I ended up there, but I like the PESSO idea and I think I would like to start with that and later see if I can get my other data imported in my site.
#
barnabywalters
SRCR: that’s pretty much what I’ve done — started out building a posting system with POSSE to twitter and facebook, then recently I’ve worked on importing all my old data from Diaspora
#
SRCR
for me the indiewebcamp site gives me i bit more of a base to get me started before I needd to think everything up myself.
#
barnabywalters
POSSE is generally preferable to PESOS
#
SRCR
and I'm not a developer so...
#
shaners
SRCR: don't be discouraged by not being a "developer". there's quite a bit you can do with existing tools and/or doing things manually.

#
barnabywalters
I really need to implement original post discovery
#
shaners
aaronpk: do you think you'll add a Quotation post type for this case? like tumblr has.
#
aaronpk
yes yes you do
#
aaronpk
shaners: yea I was just thinking about that
#
shaners
it's in my list of post types / short url namespaces
#
barnabywalters
shaners: I have this loose rule where if HTML already has an element for something I want to publish, I just use that
#
barnabywalters
in this case <blockquote>
#
aaronpk
I don't think I'll make it a top-level type though, more like just different markup inside my note
#
barnabywalters
things I post with <blockquote> in get auto-tagged with “quote”
#
aaronpk
my top-level types have their own feeds
#
barnabywalters
same with images
#
barnabywalters
and some other stuff, I forget
#
shaners
barnabywalters: prolly lists and code
#
shaners

#

ooh I don’t think I auto-tag <code> — good call! that would be really handy
#

so here’s a question: why do video and audio silos prominently display view counts, whereas text silos typically completely ignore it?
#
barnabywalters
talking specifically about YT, vimeo, soundcloud
#
shaners
after i got them all on my site, i added a permashortlink in the yt description back to my sbb.me/v copy
#
shaners
barnabywalters: good question. i dunno. vanity?
#
aaronpk
barnabywalters: interesting question! I think one reason is beacuse it's easier to count a view of a video vs a view of text content and filter out false positives (crawlers)
#
shaners
we used to show "N visitors" counters on all web pages, remember?
#
aaronpk
totally
#
barnabywalters
aaronpk: good point — although tracking scrolling would be trivial
#
aaronpk
and then the crawlers skewed the number so much
#
barnabywalters
but it’s more than that — youtube videos are always valued by how many views they’ve had
#
tantek
shaners - re: vegan / vegetarian etc. - for now just use tags, e.g. <span class="p-category">vegan</span>
#
barnabywalters
hitting a certain number of views is like a rite of passage
#
barnabywalters
not so for text
#
barnabywalters
no-one says “my article had fifteen thousand reads on medium!"
#
aaronpk
I've noticed that medium.com shows a duration on the post, https://medium.com/indieweb-thoughts/9d0e36524dbf is a "4 min read". I assume that is determined based on the length of time people spend on the page
#
barnabywalters
aaronpk: more likely word count…?
#
aaronpk
text content gets measured more by the number of shares it gets
eschnou joined the channel
#
aaronpk
all the social media widget things show share counts on the silos
#
shaners
barnabywalters: i earned my "Been Boinged" Nerd Merit Badge a few years back. all the big blogs. top story on reddit, /., digg. etc
#
barnabywalters
hm true — but have you ever heard anyone actually talk about those numbers?
#
aaronpk
even imgur shows view count of images!
#
barnabywalters
sure, some authors might obsess over them
#
aaronpk
barnabywalters: yea totally, people compare the "reach" of posts a lot
#
barnabywalters
aaronpk: really? wow, I’ve never heard anyone talk about those numbers specifically
#
tantek
my tweet buttons on my articles have the # next to them. it can be entertaining I suppose.
#
shaners
barnabywalters: Facebook reports on "reach" for promoted posts and for Pages™
#
barnabywalters
shaners: I should hope so, if people are paying for them :/
#
tantek
still, all those #s pale in comparison to # of thoughtful comments
#
shaners
i've personally turned off all analytics for view counts. i only use Google Analytics (for now) for occasional refer research and geo stuff.
#
shaners
tantek++
#
Loqi
tantek has 14 karma
#
barnabywalters
I turned off analytics a while ago
#
tantek
like the #s some of you show for federated indieweb comments. one day I'll get there too :)
#
tantek
reads the logs to see what I missed.
#
aaronpk
tantek: just had an interesting idea for you if you're interested... use pingback.me to collect webmentions, and have a tiny bit of JS to show the comment count on your posts like how bret uses it for displaying the links
#
tantek
s/ I / he
#
Loqi
tantek meant to say: reads the logs to see what hemissed.
#
shaners
Loqi: what's an "hemissed"?
#
Loqi
who, me?
#
shaners
Loqi: yes, you.
#
tantek
thought he did that s/ properly but perhaps not.
#
shaners
hahaha
#
Loqi
hehe
#
shaners
whitespace, man. HOW DOES IT WORK!
#
barnabywalters
tantek: yeah, with pingback.me and a bit of JS you could easily approximate the inline <ul> of name links to comments in your logs
#
tantek
aaronpk - sounds quite interesting.
#
barnabywalters
(look around you voice) what is whitespace? we just don’t know (question mark ding)
#
aaronpk
barnabywalters++ for the look around you reference!!!
#
barnabywalters
aaronpk: love that show :) I need to re-watch them all
#
tantek
barnabywalters example URL for info?
#
tantek
or do I need to deploy a rel="pingback" header to pingback.me to start collecting them?
#
barnabywalters
tantek: er… aaronpk or bret are the ones to ask, I don’t use pingback.me
#
aaronpk
that would be first. the rel=pingback and rel=webmention headers
#
tantek
does pingback.me receive webmention headers too?
#
tantek
interesting
#
aaronpk
should probably add that to the pingback.me wiki page
#
barnabywalters
who knows how to make jquery plugins?
#
barnabywalters
we should make a zero-effort webmention-including jQuery plugin
#
barnabywalters
or just plain js
#
shaners
/play :crickets:
#
barnabywalters
people seem to like jquery though
#
barnabywalters
e.g. <div data-indie-comments data-url="…"></div>
#
shaners
barnabywalters: my team wrote a jq plugin : https://github.com/G5/jquery-picture-tag
#
aaronpk
barnabywalters: yes yes good idea
#
aaronpk
that's not even a jquery plugin, it would just be a script tag
#
barnabywalters
two-step indiecomments: add the pingback.me link, add this script tag and an element. boom.
#
aaronpk
hmmMMMmmm
#
aaronpk
nods in approval
#
barnabywalters
doesn’t want to promote web.js… but this would be a nice thing to have
#
tantek
perhaps a suggestion to write-up on the /webmention page?

“and thus he coined the phrase, “gifted you a gist””
#
tantek
shaners - basically, all these one-off "standard" JSON APIs are dead-ends because we've figured out how to generate generic JSON from very simple HTML - which is easier for more people to publish.

aaronpk
omg now i want to make a select-to-quote button like barnaby's extension

my "posting interface" is still `rake db:seed` :/

wonders which of those I'm tagged with

barnabywalters
neuro`: you see the “via BBEdit” next to tantek’s notes? they’re serious :)
#
tantek
Falcon posting UI is currently: BBEdit + scp + minimal "verify & post" web UI that does all the saving to storage, PuSH sending, POSSEing
#
aaronpk
when I first saw "via BBEdit" on tantek's site I assumed he was posting from his blackberry somehow :)

I'm working on Publify interface, and we're duscissing whether or not we should split the blog posts / short statuses (with POSSE) interfaces

Doing a full POSSE publishing and interface may lead to some gas factory I fear.

tantek
danbri - re: "which of those", let me know when you've published documentation obsoleting FOAF and directing people to use vCard4 vocabulary, and proposed any extensions you need to the VCARDDAV list. I've given up on schema-org/person submitting to VCARDDAV after what Guha said at osfw3c workshop.

aaronpk: how do you screen record => animated gif?
#
neuro`
And maybe on another platform as we add them
#
aaronpk
shaners: I use Screeny to get the video, then gifify to turn it into a gif
#
barnabywalters
neuro`: oh cool. I currently use different UIs for the two tasks
#
tantek
danbri - given your background and expertise I'm sure you could get a lot done on theVCARDDAV list frankly. And I mean that seriously.
#
danbri
and there i was 1 second from ragequitting this discussion until a workday, and you go and say something nice
#
barnabywalters
shaners: FTR, I use quicktime to screen record then a mac app called gifbrewery to crop+resize+gifify, then imageoptim to crush the filesize
#
shaners
danbri: you're a bright person. come work on something that's being used. yeah?

looks into gifify
#
danbri
I do try to find common ground
#
aaronpk
barnabywalters: wait what do you use for that then? i assumed you were using it too
#
barnabywalters
it might even be a paid app off the mac app store, I can’t remember
#
tantek
danbri - you're probably best able to provide actual use cases for lots of things to add to vCard4

hence looking into open source alternatice :)

barnabywalters meant to say: hence looking into open source alternative :)

since you've dealt with crazy bikeshedding discussions, collisions, ambiguities etc. for far too many years
#
danbri
when's their next revision expected?

re obsoleting foaf, there are plenty of bits in there that are nothing to do with vCard
#
danbri
it serves as a collection of utility terms for linked data too (primaryTopic, focus etc.)
#
shaners
aaronpk: in ruby there's ImageScience too! http://docs.seattlerb.org/ImageScience.html
#
danbri
I think it is time to look at which bits of portable contacts got traction, the schema.org person vocab, foaf, alongside vcard
#
shaners
Science™
#
tantek
danbri - right, it fell victim to the same "put everything in one namespace" tendency all namespaces tend toward
#
tantek
because no one wants to practically bother with multiple NS
#
danbri
there's a pile of requirements from cultural heritage orgs that are important to linked data community, but perhaps not to vcard group
#
danbri
"fell victim to?"
#
danbri
it started out as a utility vocab
#
tantek
same reason OGP borrowed terms and created their own one og: space to rule to the meta
#
tantek
danbri - yeah, the same folks that advocate multiple namespacing end up sticking stuff in one namespace for convenience, thus defeating their own methodology
#
danbri
having a data model makes some difference there
#
tantek
it has all happened before and will all happen again (at least in the multi-namespace space)
#
danbri
good relations was field tested in its own namespace, and improved, for years before getting merged into schema.org
#
tantek
danbri poco already gave input to (incorporated into) vCard4 - no need to look into poco again. it's dead.
#
danbri
that's interesting
#
danbri
got a link to obituary?
#
tantek
I'll leave it to you to figure out what if any value there is in the schemaorg/person properties innovative to / different from vCard4
#
danbri
i always liked the core, but then it had a REST API and a pile of misc opensocial bits and pieces
#
tantek
danbri - yeah - the out of date notice on the website
#
danbri
http://portablecontacts.net/ "But only in recent weeks has it begun to feel that now is the right time to rally the community and the industry to work together to make this vision real by developing an open spec for exchange of contact info that everyone can embrace."

tell me again how your web semantics spec fails to use proper semantic markup itself?
#
tantek
(condescending wonka)
#
danbri
re http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/vcarddav/charter/ are they interested in people descriptions beyond personal address books (PABs) and directories of users within an org?
#
tantek
danbri - thereis ia "social network" extension to vCard4 for example
#
tantek
extensions are pretty wide open
#
tantek
plenty of potential for you there
#
tantek
and I trust your opinion on those matters a lot more than the authors of the current extensions
#
tantek
(you've been exposed to many more crowds)
#
danbri
looking at http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/vcarddav/charter/ ... the milestones all seem to be in the past
#
tantek
yeah - now it's a free for all for discussing extension specs
#
danbri
what have they been busy with the last year or so? standard standards schedule slippage?
#
tantek
I think the idea is that if any extension specs get "critical mass", then you can use those to propose an iteration to the core to add them.
#
barnabywalters
(say that five times fast)
#
tantek
anyway we've somehow gotten a bit away from #indieweb specific discussions (unless I missed something), danbri - feel free to carryon with more vCard4 etc. discussions in #microformats (or #schema if you wish)
#
tantek
where more general vocab stuff probably makes sense

thanks neuro`!
#
aaronpk
darn I really liked the pingback.me logo
#
shaners
aaronpk past tense?
#
aaronpk
i'm renaming it to webmention.io
#
neuro`
Very clever logo.
#
tantek
aaronpk - better branding
#
aaronpk
pingback has too many negative connotations
#
tantek
we want people to remember webmention more than pingback
#
neuro`
aaronpk: good move, pingback means spam for too many people.
#
aaronpk
in fairness I did make it before we had webmention :)
#
shaners
aaronpk got it
#
tantek
maybe Yahoo has some extra logo revisions they no longer need
#
neuro`
tantek: may work if we renamed WebMention to YebMention
#
tantek
or YMention
#
neuro`
YMention when you can be alone on the Interwebs?
#
tantek
Y-Mention like Y-Combinator
#
tantek
dot com
#
neuro`
An accelerator for indi web projects?
#
tantek
osfw3c folks remember Evan's question about OStatus?
#
tantek
I think we should document a transition table
#
tantek
what do you think?
#
aaronpk
oh, good idea

tantek: do i get any indiemark points for u-uid links from wp.com to sbb.me?
#
tantek
shaners - yeah, you should
#
tantek
pushes the Ostatus page creation on the stack to checkout indiemark
#
shaners
what about links from YouTube to sbb.me/v without the .u-uid class?
#
tantek
and apparently ostatus.org became a W3C CG: http://www.w3.org/community/ostatus/

#
tantek
shaners - I think we should require either the u-uid backlinks or permashortlinks/permashortcitations for indiemark Level 1 POSSE support
#
tantek
so yes that would be what would get you points for that
#
shaners
what about on sites like twitter and youtube where we can't put any markup around the link?
#
tantek
shaners - hence the "or permashortlinks/permashortcitations" :)
#
shaners
oh. hi, i'm shane. i'm still learning to read and understand full sentences before replying. :/
#
tantek
shaners - it's ok, this is a very tl;dr ADHD crowd :)
#
tantek
but to answer your question in detail: http://indiewebcamp.com/Twitter#POSSE_to_Twitter
#
shaners
you had me at tl;dr <3
#
tantek
yeah benwerd may be annoyed, but so many of us have u-uid and/or permashortlinks/permashortcitations working that we can make that a requirement for proper POSSE
#
tantek
besides he's so far ahead on other stuff, we can give make him reach for this :)
#
tantek
OTOH I"m thinking of making PuSH support *optional* as I don't know of any indieweb use case that relies on PuSH support
#
tantek
anybody?
#
tantek
anybody here *depending* on *consuming* PuSH notifications on their indieweb site, and if so, why / what are you doing with it?
#
tantek
julien51 may be unhappy with it, but then he's not even owning his own tweets yet so....
#
tantek
besides, I've long disliked that asking people to support PuSH is also implicitly asking them to support Atom XML
#
tantek
again, more backwards requests
#
aaronpk
so I was looking at this yesterday
#
aaronpk
the actual PuSH spec doesn't require Atom XML
#
aaronpk
it just talks about notifications of updated "feeds"
bnvk joined the channel
#
aaronpk
so there is no reason we couldn't use all of the PuSH spec with h-entry feeds
#
shaners
tantek: i don't have any plans to support PuSH
#
aaronpk
however most implementations of hubs have hard-coded themselves to Atom feeds
#
shaners
!tell tantek i don't have any plans to support PuSH
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell him that when I see him next

tantek: shaners left you a message 12 minutes ago: i don't have any plans to support PuSH
#
tantek
shaners - I don't blame you. without and indieweb-to-indieweb use-case, I find a hard time asking anyone to do so.
#
tantek
s/without and/without an/
#
Loqi
tantek meant to say: shaners - I don't blame you. without an indieweb-to-indieweb use-case, I find a hard time asking anyone to do so.
#
tantek
this is also why I've been asking about who is working on a personal reader feature on their site?
#
aaronpk
i'm not actually very inclined to build a reader into my site
#
aaronpk
IMO i think that's best left to a separate project
#
tantek
aaronpk - IMO it's part of replacing any need to visit any silo UI (web, mobile app, or otherwise)
#
shaners
if we drop the PuSH "requirement" for IndieMark, then I'm Level 1 syndication complete.
#
tantek
shaners - in the process of doing so
#
aaronpk
even better if the reader I use is somehow aware of my posting endpoints
#
aaronpk
shaners: yes of course I'd rather not visit a silo UI, but I would rather use an alternate reader app for it, not my own site
#
shaners
tantek aaronpk: i've got "plans" to build a personal reader. as a separate project. called Feed Me, See More.
#
shaners
i made a static prototype 3 years ago (with static snapshots of real data from then)
#
shaners
aaronpk: i plan for feed me and homesteading to be sister projects
#
shaners
subscribe web actions will get caught by FMSM. repost/reply/fave actions will go from my FMSM to my HS.
#
shaners
but both will be optional connections
#
shaners
Big Plans™. Not enough time/money/people.

Thought: how long before someone (maybe one of us) gets funding to build a #indieweb based company?
#
shaners
GARGH. Loqi, why does the wiki log me out so quickly?
#
tantek
shaners - funding presumes an indieweb based business model - pick one of these first: http://indiewebcamp.com/business-models
#
shaners
i plan to do HS, WP style. free / oss download / self host. pay for managed installs. + app store/garden.
#
melvster
tantek: would you be interested in decentralized advertizing for indieweb ... touch wood, ill have it implemented in the next year ...
#
shaners
it's all just vaporware still
#
tantek
shaners - it's ok, business-models is for *potential* business models too
#
tantek
so go for it
#
tantek
add it there
#
melvster
reading
#
tantek
anyway the point about asking about personal readers
#
tantek
is the question of would those presumably provide an indieweb-to-indieweb use-case for PuSH support?

aaronpk
shaners: oh cool, yea that's basically how I would imagine my feed reader working
#
aaronpk
separate project from p3k
#
shaners
maybe we should tag team it?
#
aaronpk
i could be up for that
#
aaronpk
as long as it's not rails
#
aaronpk
sinatra is fine
#
shaners
aaronpk. error. did not compute.
#
aaronpk
uh sorry
#
aaronpk
ruby is fine if it's a sinatra app, but not rails
#
shaners
every sinatra app i build, i end up rebuilding parts of rails.
#
shaners
anything larger than a page or two
#
shaners
i'll be building my thing in Rails.
#
aaronpk
i find myself spending too much time learning the "rails" way with no apparently benefit
#
aaronpk
apparent*
#
shaners
here's a small example of something i like in rails over sinatra:
#
shaners
render @note
#
shaners
render @notes
#
shaners
does /notes/_note.html.erb for each note in @notes
#
aaronpk
hm, come to think of it a lot of what I don't like is in the context of edit/view and the form_for stuff
#
shaners
sinatra takes more to do that. nothing major. but in the aggregate, it adds up.
#
shaners
what do you mean?
#
shaners
for example?
#
aaronpk
i don't like form handling in rails
#
aaronpk
but luckily a feed reader doesn't tend to have much of that
#
shaners
#truefax
#
aaronpk
ok i will consider it
#
aaronpk
but I definitely would not be able to take the lead on it
#
shaners
that's fair
#
shaners
and honestly, i don't have anytime for it anytime soon
#
shaners
more focused on homesteading
#
aaronpk
the other thing is I already know that following my twitter stream is not a good idea, it's too full of noise. so I question the value of replicating that experience
#
aaronpk
I get more value out of following several twitter search streams that I pipe to various IRC channels like this one
#
aaronpk
so I still need to figure out how I want to consume people's indie sites before I go and implement something
tantek and earplugs joined the channel
#
aaronpk
oh cool, I just added atom output to webmention.io so you can subscribe to your mentions in a feed reader

make PuSH support optional since no indieweb nor indieweb-to-indieweb use-cases yet
#
tantek
shaners - IndieMark level 1 updated
#
tantek
pops the stack back to OStatus
#
tantek
aaronpk - the beauty of indieweb aggregating/reading currently is that there's so few indieweb sites to read that you can't get overwhelmed (yet) :)
#
tantek
and as you do feel overwhelmed, you can start to explore the questions of why and build tools / UI accordingly.
#
aaronpk
tantek: actually I already am overwhelmed :)
#
tantek
Facebook has "mute"
#
aaronpk
benwerd posts a lot :)
#
tantek
haha - yeah good point
#
tantek
there's been some work with showing aggregations of posts from individuals
#
tantek
e.g. not just one post but several clustered as one post
#
tantek
e.g. benwerd posted 5 updates (most recent one shown … to expand)
#
tantek
or benwerd posted 5 photos (thumbnails shown instead of full/normal size)
#
aaronpk
that makes more sense in a lot of cases
#
tantek
wow a google doc really? google docs are just a bad immitation of ms office on the web
#

too much JS

etherpad is about as much JS-based content I can take

looks good
#
aaronpk
guess we don't have any indieweb equivalent for the reader/subscirption part of PuSH yet
#
tantek
right
#
aaronpk
because nobody has implemented it
#
tantek
hence my questions earlier
#
tantek
right
#
aaronpk
cool. did you see my comments on PuSH?
#
tantek
we'll implement for that use-case when we come across it
#
aaronpk
right before you disconnected
#
tantek
I think so
#
tantek
in the logs
#
aaronpk
yeah, just that the PuSH protocol itself doesn't dictate Atom, but afaik all implementations do
#
aaronpk
so we don't need to reinvent anything, just re-implement
#
tantek
right - we should re-use where we can
#
shaners
aaronpk: (catching up. was afk.) i think we're already doing the indieweb feed reading at work
