acegiak - moderation will get quickly overwhelmed and depressing
#
tantek
that's one of the reasons Akismet is giving up on Pingback
#
tantek
moderation is not a reasonable/scalable/sustainable part of the answer to defense against spam

when receiving webmentions from and to fragmented URLs, shall the existance of elements with that name be checked, too?
#
cweiske
example.org/foo#bar would need to contain a id="bar" html tag

has anyone tested semantic linkbacks with pfefferle's fix?
#
acegiak
I'm about to have a go with it
#
pfefferle
not yet… had a lot to do the last days… perhaps on weekend
#
acegiak
hmm. now im not getting anything, which is interesting
bnvk joined the channel
#
Jihaisse
acegiak: no. Is it ready for testing ?
#
acegiak
Jihaisse: hmm apparently not
#
Jihaisse
ok, I will wait
bnvk and glennjones joined the channel
#
pfefferle
perhaps we could extract the "parser" code into an external lib to use unit testing...
#
pfefferle
that's true, but I think it's easier to test the parser separately from the pingback/webmention stuff to check where the error occurs
#
acegiak
I'm just replying to myself en-masse and then I'll delete them all later
#
pfefferle
not the easiest way to test code ;)
#
Jihaisse
clearly

#
acegiak
hmm it was just being weird
Acidnerd, Jihaisse and abrereton joined the channel
#
pfefferle
barnabywalters is it against the spec to extend the h-* entries with a "value" attribute that holds the complete html-code of the element?
#
pfefferle
or let's call it html to be more compatible to "content"
#
barnabywalters
pfefferle: what is this solving?
#
acegiak
ok so it's definitiely the hentry walker that's giving me trouble
#
pfefferle
that would make it way easier to check if the link is inside the entry… the rest should be only to check the type of the mention
#
pfefferle
there are a lot of ways to markup "replies", "likes" or "rsvps" and it is a lot to check to get the right h-entry
#
pfefferle
it would be easier to get the h-entry with pregmatching the link and THEN checking for the type (like, reply, rsvp)
#
barnabywalters
you should never have to do that — there should only be one top-level h-entry on post permalink pages
#
acegiak
ok I need to head to bed, I'll do some more tomorrow
#
acegiak
night all
#
pfefferle
nevertheless do i have to check a lot of attributes to be sure the link is part of the h-entry
eschnou, scor and tantek joined the channel
#
tantek
pfefferle: The link doesn't have to be part of the entry. It just typically is.
#
tantek
Where are you getting the impression/requirement that you have "to be sure the link is part of the h-entry"?
#
pfefferle
tantek but that is a good way to spam… if someone has a link to an article of my page in a global area (for example in a blogroll), then potentially every webmention from every site is a valid reply!?!
#
tantek
pfefferle: Spam has to do with *who* it is coming from, not what page.
#
pfefferle
not really, because everyone could send webmentions from the command line… if it is his page or not
#
tantek
And in such and example, those would only be mentions not replies.
#
tantek
*an example
#
tantek
I would also file that "problem" aa theoretical until we see a real world example.
#
Jihaisse
challenge accepted
bnvk joined the channel
#
Jihaisse
is kidding
#
pfefferle
ok, let me summarize that… validating a request could be: check if site has mentioned the target-url anywhere on the site… get the first h-entry and use it as a for example reply?
#
pfefferle
ah ok… Now I think I got it… Check if site has mentioned target-url… Check first h-entry if it has any kind of reply merkup -> it is a reply… if not it is a mention… ?!?
#
barnabywalters
sounds like we need a new consumption algoritm
#
barnabywalters
how to determine whether or not a page links to another, and if it does, of what type is the link
#
tantek
Ok ok I'll get my laptop. Still dark outside here in SF.
#
pfefferle
yes… for example a site has a rel-in-reply-to link outside the h-entry… is the h-entry a reply or not?
tantek_ joined the channel
#
Jihaisse
why a site have an rel-in-reply-to outside the h-entry ?
#
barnabywalters
I would say yes, but we’d need to find and document an actual example
#
barnabywalters
let’s start with what people are actually publishing at the moment
#
tantek
barnabywalters - it's also about keeping the specs simple
_6a68 joined the channel
#
pfefferle
but that is a problem… there are a lot of different markups that people use...
#
tantek
pfefferle, I think you are making it sound harder than it is. So we need to be more explicit.
#
tantek
barnabywalters - there are three levels to this:
scor joined the channel
#
tantek
1. is it a valid webmention?
#
tantek
2. does the link back have any rel semantics? if so, use them
#
tantek
3. is there an h-entry on the page? if so, use it for comment/RSVP content
#
tantek
that's it
#
tantek
(1) is a required part of webmention - does the source actually have a link to the target
#
pfefferle
that's true
#
barnabywalters
why prioritising rel values over potentially more detailed h-entry properties?
#
tantek
and is required for *anything* that implements webmention, e.g. a webmention proxy
#
Jihaisse
is it possible to have many h-entry on a page ?
#
tantek
barnabywalters - because a simple rel value is MUCH easier to publish
#
pfefferle
Jihaisse yes
#
barnabywalters
Jihaisse: you shouldn’t have more than one top-level h-entry on post permalink pages
#
tantek
prioritizing ease of authoring
#
barnabywalters
tantek: understood, but if people *have* published more detailed info, why not try to consume that first
#
pfefferle
tantek yes, but you can't be sure if it has a relation to the first h-entry on the page
#
tantek
Jihaisse: of course it is, e.g. an archive page, but typically it doesn't make sense for those to send webmentions
#
tantek
barnabywalters - that's reasonable. we can treat rel-only markup as a fallback from h-entry markup
#
tantek
pfefferle - it doesn't matter - if the first h-entry on the page *doesn't* relate to that link, then people will debug that quickly
#
tantek
just as barnabywalters quickly debugged the bad double-marked up hentry/h-entry problem recently
#
tantek
pfefferle - now if you're trying to write a webmention *validator* for people to check their posts with - that's a different story - then you can do all kinds of "lint" like warnings etc.
#
pfefferle
ok… building instead of speculation ;)
#
tantek
checking for common problems etc.
#
tantek
barnabywalters - reading...
#
pfefferle
it's not for a validator it is for production
#
tantek
in production it's better to just implement the algorithm we figure out
#
tantek
rather than add bunches of edge cases and stuff
#
pfefferle
ok, true
#
tantek
ooh nice use of <var> barnabywalters :)
#
barnabywalters
has been reading the HTML5 spec again
Acidnerd joined the channel
#
barnabywalters
pfefferle: <var> is an element for identifying text as being a variable name
#
barnabywalters
perfect for use in prose algorithms like the ones on the wiki
#
pfefferle
ah ok thanks :)
#
Jihaisse
so the link ton have to be in the h-entry

#
pfefferle
tantek we had a discussion about using mf2 to markup the wordpress plugins-list, to consume it on other places… do you have an ideas what to use or should i define a posh-format?
#
tantek
pfefferle - not sure - what's the use case?
#
tantek
is this for downloads in general?
#
tantek
or just plugin downloads?
#
tantek
also, might want to take a new microformats/poshformat discussion over to #microformats

pfefferle
I want to build a wordpress plugin that lists all indieweb plugins around to make it as easy as possible to install them… and barnabywalters had the idea to use the wiki as "source"
#
tantek
fascinating
#
tantek
pfefferle - do you really want to make it that easy? I mean, won't that just help spammers spam the indieweb?
#
tantek
(since spammers love to install wordpress spam blogs)
#
pfefferle
not yet, the plugins are providing some helpfull stuff but you can't use them without indieweb and mf knowledge yet… and i am not sure if this will ever change...
#
barnabywalters
pfefferle: start with what information do you need in order to generate the plugin installation UI and actually install the plugins?
#
barnabywalters
then make a draft mf2 vocabulary out of that, reusing as appropriate from existing ones
#
barnabywalters
then implement it and fix whatever problems become obvious
#
tantek
also - the plugins list right now is quite a hodgepodge
#
tantek
plenty of things there you don't need for the indieweb - that list needs some better curation
#
tantek
pfefferle - more importan than a format, is a higher quality list itself
#
pfefferle
tantek what's the problem with the list?

#
tantek
pfefferle - it's giant pile right now
#
tantek
and as far as "don't need for the indieweb"
#
tantek
for example, Salmon, all the Syndication plugins
#
pfefferle
the syndication plugins are for POSSE
#
tantek
and for Login, all you need is IndieAuth, you don't need separate OpenID or BrowserID/Persona
#
tantek
oh - so that's not clear
#
tantek
when I've shown this to other folks who have Wordpress - their response is - wow I have to install all of that?!?
#
tantek
it looks intimidating
#
pfefferle
will change the name
#
tantek
and often it's not clear which plugin does what and why would you want to install it (what indieweb capabilities do you get when you install it)
#
barnabywalters
there’s a salmon comment plugin for wordpress? people actually use salmon?
#
pfefferle
yes, but is that a problem? you said you want to scare spammers ;)
#
tantek
maybe move some to a "Related Social Web" section below?
#
tantek
pfefferle - the point about scaring spammers was a bit of a joke ;)
#
tantek
the irony is that designing for ease of use for a "typical" wordpress user and a spammer is likely to be very similar
#
tantek
we can't really avoid that
#
tantek
a typical wordpress user will likely just want an "indieweb" plugin that "does all the right indieweb things"
#
tantek
we're not there yet
#
pfefferle
No, seriously… I like to build plugins to fit only a specific problem and not to solve all IndieWeb "problems"
#
tantek
but at least we can minimize the set of plugins that are *essential* indiweb plugins
#
tantek
and then maybe list optional indieweb ones below that
#
tantek
and then list past/old technology ones (like Salmon, OpenID etc.) below that
#
tantek
pfefferle - that's totally fine - modularity is good
#
tantek
however, we should provide them in at least those priority clusterings for ease of discovery by new wordpress folks
#
tantek
1. essential for indieweb
#
tantek
2. optional for indieweb
#
tantek
3. past/old technologies
#
pfefferle
barnabywalters noone is using salmon… i built it for my ostatus plugin… long time ago...
#
tantek
and that way people can focus if they want

pfefferle

tantek joined the channel
#
barnabywalters
pfefferle: I like “creators”
#
pfefferle
I can also live with "creators" ;)
#
barnabywalters
that decouples it from people who are active here/in person
#
tantek
sweet
#
tantek
I've changing it to participants
#
tantek
pfefferle - there is a difference
#
tantek
we've been drawing a (minor) distinction between those who have actually made it to an event
#
tantek
e.g. see projects#WordPress
#
pfefferle
yes, but do you want to only mention the attendies?
#
tantek
^^^ mentions both
#
barnabywalters
e.g. barry frost isn’t a “community member” per se, but has been doing some awesome work and deserves to be mentioned in implementation listings
#
tantek
barnabywalters - hence "Other independents"
#
pfefferle
am i part of the "attendies" if i attended two camps remotely?
#
barnabywalters
pfefferle: you’re certainly active here
#
tantek
pfefferle - yes that should count :)
#
pfefferle
nice :)
#
tantek
the realtime aspect of the participation is key - also it demonstrates a greater commitment to the community
#
tantek
(the time spent participating)
#
tantek
(in an actual event, even remotely)
#
barnabywalters
I suppose listing them separately helps give people a sense of how easy they are to engage, how likely they are to respond to questions etc
#
tantek
barnabywalters - people like to get a sense of how involved are people
#
tantek
and indiewebcamp participant vs. community member vs. other independents is a good sorting for that
#
pfefferle
what are you thinking about the clustering? http://indiewebcamp.com/wordpress#WordPress_software
#
pfefferle
I will add a simple description to every plugin any time soon

tantek you are really hard to openid :)
#
tantek
pfefferle - openid had its chance as is now a bit of a disaster (from a standards/community perspective)
#
tantek
indieauth is a much better replacement
#
tantek
plus as a *user* of openid, I can now use indieauth as my openid provider

tantek
so I *really* don't need to worry about it

mikeal: it's gonna happen! Or, at the very least, I will *try* to make it happen :D
#
tantek
hmm - either tommorris turned off his webmention discovery, or never had support for webmention in the first place?

!tell cweiske I'm seeing a 504 at http://cweiske.de/ - hope you get that sorted out soon!

Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

is there anyway on github to search a particular person's repos?
#
aaronpk
I believe the search bar scope can be changed
#
tantek
advanced search apparently
#
tantek
and you have to specifically click Code to search code and not just repo names
#
aaronpk
oh, no, just use the search bar on the repositories tab https://github.com/aaronpk?tab=repositories
#
aaronpk
ohh you're trying to look for code? cool
#
tantek
e.g. searching someone's repos for "curl" to see how they use it :)

you do a lot of curl aaronpk ;)
#
tantek
I'm thinking of writing a small function to do a head curl and turn any Link: headers into same JSON return format as the canonical microformats2 parsing output
#
tantek
with the rel collection
#
aaronpk
oh interesting
#
tantek
wondering if that would be useful to anyone else - it's how I'm going about building a building block for my webmention discovery code
#
tantek
basically just treating the HEAD like another document with microformats
#
aaronpk
that's an interesting pattern
#
tantek
I don't know if it is useful or not, so I'm going to try building it to find out
#
tantek
feels like a good way to isolate away HEAD-specific logic
#
aaronpk
yeah, makes sense
#
tantek
tends to overthink things before coding.
#
aaronpk
usually a good plan
#
aaronpk
I feel like my coding tends to be either way more overthought or way less thought through than yours :)
#
tantek
I also like small contained bits of code I feel like I can write quickly, test, and then park.
#
aaronpk
totally. i've been trying to modularize more stuff that way too, like the webmention client and such.
#
tantek
it's also the only way I've found so far to incrementally open source my code in a way that won't cause me huge maintenance/support headaches
#
aaronpk
totally

and google is useless for searching for anything "LINK:" :P
#
pdurbin
I feel like I try "link:" once every 3 years and it never works

#
tantek
pdurbin I'm actually searching for the literal "Link:" as in what most webmention implementations are returning in the HTTP HEAD
#
tantek
rather than the link: search operator
#
pdurbin
oh oh. carry on :)
#
pdurbin
we could use a search engine that supports regex

another site death: do.com
#
peat
... the front page image is pretty dark considering the discontinuation message. "It's time to say goodbye."
#
tantek
what was do.com?
