Email is *one* way for open source communities to communicate. An even better way is what we're doing over at Indie Web Camp. We intentionally have no email list, instead we use IRC (with web and Slack gateways) for day to day discussion, and anything important gets categorized and archived on the wiki. This leads to better organization of information over the long term (have you ever tried to actually go find something in email list archives?) as well as provides a better medium for quick conversation. -
Our IRC chat is archived at https://indiewebcamp.com/irc/today which is also where you can join the chat room from the web page. (You can also join via Slack, we like to give people many options.)
> Most communities won't take the time
We have 5+ years of taking the time to archive the important pieces in the wiki, so take that for what you will. I think it's a sign of the strength of a community if people care enough to do that. -
Micropub Spec Updates
Since publishing the latest W3C draft of Micropub on March 1, there have been a few minor updates based on feedback from people who have implemented it.Simpler update syntaxThe update syntax had an extra nesting that was not necessary. The syntax changed from:replace[properties][content]=Hello+Moonto replace[content]=Hello+MoonMoving a postIf the update operation caused the post to be moved to a new URL (such as when the URL scheme is based off of the post's date, or has a custom slug that is editable), the Micropub client needs a way to know the new URL of the post.The Update Response section now includes HTTP 201 as a possible response, along with:If the update operation caused the URL of the post to change, the server must respond with HTTP 201 and include the new URL in the HTTP Location headerMore InformationYou can read the latest editor's draft of the spec here: http://micropub.net/draft/ as well as see the change log. The git commit history shows the full detailed changes.Thanks to Greg for providing feedback on his Micropub implementation.As always, feedback from implementation experience is appreciated!
