- # Session Ident: #microformats
- # [00:00] <@tantek> singpolyma, np. reading specs is hard. and annoyingly so. I sympathize.
- # [00:00] <voxpelli> tantek: From: A page for a user activity. To: A feed containing that users identitiy.
- # [00:01] <voxpelli> To: A feed containing that users _activity_
- # [00:01] <@tantek> I think that's what rel="home alternate" solves
- # [00:01] <@tantek> assuming their home page shows their activity
- # [00:01] <@tantek> which, e.g. in Twitter, it does
- # [00:01] <@tantek> if you have other examples, then we'll have to look at specific URLs
- # [00:02] <voxpelli> tantek: Take a multi-author blog - the "home" of the multi-author blog is very different to that of its author feeds.
- # [00:03] <@tantek> hard to discuss / reason about without looking at a specific example
- # [00:03] <@tantek> e
- # [00:03] <singpoly1a> tantek: rel="index alternate" maybe? (index means page where the activity is, yeah?)
- # [00:03] <@tantek> no index does not mean that
- # [00:03] <@tantek> that's what I tried first actually :)
- # [00:03] <singpoly1a> ah
- # [00:03] <@tantek> then I looked at the specific definition of rel-index
- # [00:04] <voxpelli> tantek: never mind - you are losing me in thoughts here. If you want to add your thoughts on "home alternate" and such to the activity streams mailing list you at least know about the discussion there now.
- # [00:04] <Loqi> [[rel-home]] http://microformats.org/wiki/index.php?title=rel-home&diff=44375&oldid=44374&rcid=57519 * Tantek * (+55) see also
- # [00:06] <@tantek> rel-index "Refers to a document providing an index for the current document. "
- # [00:06] <voxpelli> tantek: I'm not trying to complicate things - just trying to wrap my head around how to do discovery in a social landscape and using simply rel="alternate" everywhere and nothing else seems like too little semantics
- # [00:06] <@tantek> voxpelli - I think that's what I was saying (losing me in the example) :)
- # [00:06] <@tantek> hence I needed a specific example to take aloof at
- # [00:06] <@tantek> a look
- # [00:06] <@tantek> damnyouosxlionautocorrect
- # [00:07] <@tantek> voxpelli - I think we mostly agree
- # [00:07] <@tantek> I'm just trying to build up the specific proposed solutions based on specific examples / problems to solve.
- # [00:07] <voxpelli> tantek: I understand, but there's so many missing bits and different bits in this social discovery space right now that it's easy to get lost.
- # [00:07] <@tantek> rel="home alternate" solve the blog post permalink page linking to the feed for the blog problem. examples, personal site, like tantek.com, and hosted content, like twitter.com/t
- # [00:08] <@tantek> if you want to solve a "multi-author blog" problem - then it will help if you can link to a specific instance of one
- # [00:09] <@tantek> so that we can better understand the structure / links that we're dealing with
- # [00:09] <TabAtkins> Does the twitter stream page count?
- # [00:09] <TabAtkins> For a mroe traditional example, lifehacker or gizmodo or something like that.
- # [00:10] <TabAtkins> reddit is a slightly non-traditional one. lesswrong.com looks more traditional, but is built on reddit.
- # [00:10] * Joins: mwunsch (~mwunsch@64.70.114.88)
- # [00:11] <voxpelli> tantek: on a related question - has there been any discussion on rel="author" in microformats lately? Are the community behinds Googles usage of it?
- # [00:11] <@tantek> voxpelli, btw I am opposed to rel="activitystream" - I think rel="alternate" type="application/activitystream+json" works fine
- # [00:12] <@tantek> rel="author" predates Google's proposal/usage btw
- # [00:12] <@tantek> from my cursory understanding it looks like Google adopting the existing semantic
- # [00:12] <voxpelli> tantek: I'm feeling more and more the same - I guess I'm better at asking questions then at finding solutions
- # [00:12] <@tantek> voxpelli - btw, feel free to invite the activity streams folks to discuss rel values here
- # [00:12] <@tantek> in #microformats
- # [00:13] <@tantek> TabAtkins - what's the Twitter stream page?
- # [00:13] <voxpelli> will do
- # [00:13] <TabAtkins> tantek: The page you get when you first enter twitter after ahving logged in.
- # [00:13] * @tantek sighs. you ask for a URL and you get names. will assume ".com" unless otherwise specified.
- # [00:13] <TabAtkins> Uh, yes.
- # [00:14] <@tantek> your logged in twitter home page doesn't have a feed. so therefore not an example for this problem space.
- # [00:16] <@tantek> whoa - Twitter mentions tab now includes when people favorite your tweets!
- # [00:16] <@tantek> twitter.com/mentions
- # [00:17] <@tantek> lol at the timing
- # [00:17] <@tantek> now goes to: https://twitter.com/your_activity
- # [00:18] <@tantek> and there's also https://twitter.com/activity
- # [00:27] <@tantek> TabAtkins, Lifehacker.com is a sad example of a multi-author blog - they don't provide feeds for specific authors :/
- # [00:27] <@tantek> e.g. on a page of posts by a specific author: http://lifehacker.com/people/Gyroscope352/ it only provides feed links to all of Lifehacker (or Lifehacker "top posts)
- # [00:28] <@tantek> so, crappy example, nothing we can reason with.
- # [00:28] <TabAtkins> tantek: Try lesswrong.com. They provide feeds for individual authors.
- # [00:31] <@tantek> yup that one looks fine. an author page: http://lesswrong.com/user/KPier/ links to the RSS just for that author with rel="alternate". that's correct. and doesn't bother to link to a global feed (which is fine, and thus, not our problem)
- # [00:31] * Quits: voxpelli (~anonymous@83.176.255.215) (Quit: voxpelli)
- # [00:32] <@tantek> and a post by that author http://lesswrong.com/lw/70d/theory_of_knowledge_rationality_outreach/ links to a feed of comments on that post with rel="alternate" - also correct. and doesn't provide a feed to that author as a whole which is again fine, and also not our problem.
- # [00:33] <@tantek> (this is why we ask for specific examples)
- # [00:33] <@tantek> (it may turn out that in practice, a problem doesn't exist)
- # [00:34] <@tantek> voxpelli - so again, if you want to explore the multi-author blog case and possible challenges, try to find actual example URLs of multi-author blogs that have such challenges.
- # [00:34] <@tantek> (none of the provided examples have the mentioned theoretical challenges)

- # [01:04] <@tantek> voxpelli - I still don't understand what specific problem you're trying to solve with rel="author alternate" in your latest message here https://groups.google.com/d/topic/activity-streams/XJm-AwQJigo/discussion
- # [01:05] <@tantek> hover, feed was too late - authors/publishers and implementers had already adopted rel="alternate" type="application/foo+xml" and that was "good enough"
- # [01:05] <@tantek> rel="feed" didn't provide enough justification for its existence (significant advantages etc.)
- # [01:06] <singpoly1a> I'm not sure what the point of a rel="feed" would be

- # [23:19] <@tantek> KevinMarks - W3C uses the term "alternate style sheets" thus it makes sense to keep it consistent
- # [23:20] <@tantek> and I think you have it backwards
- # [23:20] <@tantek> "alternate" is the correct use - meaning other than the default
- # [23:20] <@tantek> whereas "alternative" is more associated with cultural references, e.g. "alternative lifestyle" etc.

- # [23:25] <@tantek> https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Alternative provides more examples where "alternative" is used to designate something as its own thing, not just as an alternate (ahem) to something else.
- # [23:26] <@tantek> whereas "alternate" is always used as a substitute for something, always secondary, never primary

- # [23:28] <@tantek> I think the challenge may be that the difference I'm referencing is a fairly modern (since mid/late 20th century) distinction, and thus contrasts with earlier (e.g. Webster 1913 and earlier) dictionary definitions.
- # [23:29] <@tantek> thus I should rephrase when I said "'alternate' is the correct use" - more accurately, "alternate" is the *modern* use.
- # [23:31] <@tantek> and "alternative" implies some sort of specific primary cultural differentiation (e.g. "alternative lifestyle", "alternative rock", "alternative medicine" etc. as listed on https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Alternative )
