Hi
01:44:35 [sbp]
Gotta run
01:45:53 [AaronSw]
* AaronSw works on a Movable Type blogging interface
01:58:30 [adam_]
* adam_ ponders embedding one XML heirarchy in another, like an XHTML document wrapped around an RSS feed
01:59:18 [adam_]
HTML need more metadata embedded in it
01:59:18 [adam_]
adam_ is now known as thelsdj

02:03:04 [thelsdj]
i need to be able to specify that my permalink tag is A PERMALINK TAG so that robots that spider my page can tell that that is the permanent link to that item, in the future google will return the permalink to my post that matches your search rather than just my front page or my archived page
02:09:15 [deltab]
thelsdj: hmm, you could use Content-Location, though I don't know if that'll do any good
02:09:28 [doid]
Hmm. Don't robots follow the permalink and index that content? Trouble is Google gives higher weighting to info on the home page, afaik
02:10:01 [deltab]
or you could redirect to a permanent URI
02:10:28 [thelsdj]
right but theres no way to tell the robot that: 'this permalink points to this section of content *here*'
02:10:34 [deltab]
doid: it gives higher weighting to pages with more incoming links
02:10:48 [deltab]
which is usually the home page
02:11:59 [doid]
Oh, I thought there was also a higher weighting given to higher level urls
02:12:25 [deltab]
I don't see any particular reason for there to be
02:13:49 [doid]
Nor do I - probably an incorrect assumption derived from experience
02:14:12 [wmf]
you could just not let google index your main page; only let it index the archives
02:14:31 [deltab]
indeed
02:14:42 [wmf]
you'll take a big rank-hit, though
02:18:06 [thelsdj]
i'm just looking at it from a more fundamental point of view, there should be some way to tell robots (search engine robots and other types of robots) that certain elements of an html page have meaning, they arn't just 1's and 0's they mean something, even to a computer
02:19:02 [deltab]
sure, that started happening at the end of last month with application/rss+xml links
02:21:34 [AaronSw]
thelsdj, just use NOINDEX on the homepage
02:21:50 [AaronSw]
oh, wmf said that
02:22:13 [AaronSw]
there should be a <noindex /> tag
02:22:24 [AaronSw]
so wmf can say "New <noindex>Flash MX</noindex> version out."
02:23:08 [wmf]
AaronSw: I'm tempted to blog that, but you know...
02:23:17 [AaronSw]
Heh.
02:23:36 [AaronSw]
you can do a s/Flash MX/ Fla*h MX/
02:23:45 [AaronSw]
hm, that'd ruin the joke
02:24:07 [wmf]
if you're really clever you can do a server-side-exclude on your home page
02:24:25 [AaronSw]
ooh, good idea
02:24:45 [wmf]
a problem with NOINDEX on the home page is that if someone searches for the blog itself, who knows what they'll find?
02:25:21 [AaronSw]
yeah
02:43:05 [doid]
Movable Type comes with rdf support (replete with icon)?
02:43:45 [AaronSw]
icon?
02:44:43 [doid]
A blue version of the orange xml one
02:45:02 [doid]
(see Cook Computing dot com)
02:47:58 [AaronSw]
it comes with that now? nice!
02:48:30 [wmf]
HTP isn't inflammatory enough. I need to try harder
02:48:55 [AaronSw]

AaronSw: re. standardizing RSS modules, I think we'd be better off moving to "just" a module repository with no WG-sponsored status
17:05:43 [bitsko]
like CPAN
17:05:58 [AaronSw]
agreed
17:07:00 [bitsko]
cool.
17:07:49 [AaronSw]
maybe some ntoes on usage or something
17:07:58 [AaronSw]
maybe jeff would be willing to hepl with this. syndic8 has been a great repository
17:08:14 [AaronSw]
do you have any idea how else to make this happen?
17:08:17 [bitsko]
I thought of a nice feature for the archive too: extracting (via XSLT only, of course) the synopsis of modules into a quick-click list
17:09:23 [bitsko]
it's the direction kearney and hammersley have been headed too, wrt. NS in 0.9x
17:12:43 [Morbus]
i'd be willing to help out.
17:16:54 [bitsko]
Morbus: you just want to see the data so you can aggregate more *stuff*. we know you.
17:17:05 [bitsko]
* bitsko :)
17:17:21 [Morbus]
hey, don't look at me.
17:17:28 [Morbus]
i have no clue what you speak of ;)
17:17:53 [Morbus]
i was planning on creating a subsite of ampheta anyways about RSS.
17:18:01 [Morbus]
an RSS bloggish, link dir, implementation, tutorials, etc.
17:20:53 [Morbus]
well. fine. i hate you guys too <g>

17:22:56 [Morbus]

17:23:01 [bitsko]
Morbus: sounds good to me
17:23:15 [AaronSw]
Morbus, wanna take over rss info?
17:23:25 [Morbus]
"take over"?
17:23:32 [Morbus]
as in, keep on your server?
17:23:37 [Morbus]
or take over the name?
17:24:20 [AaronSw]
mainly take the data so i can redirect to you
17:24:36 [Morbus]
sure.
17:24:44 [Morbus]
i was planning on an MT backend.
17:25:16 [Morbus]
although MT isn't the greatest for linkage lists.
17:25:41 [AaronSw]
yeah
17:26:22 [AaronSw]
MT needs customizable metadat
17:26:35 [Morbus]
agreed.
17:26:45 [Morbus]
i looked into it once, but i've never worked with DB_file, so I got confused.
17:27:52 [Morbus]
i could probably piece it together with category and parent categories.
17:28:02 [Morbus]
depends though.
17:28:07 [Morbus]
i haven't really though about it yet.
17:29:03 [AaronSw]
this is my fave MT blog. you don't even notice it uses M.
17:29:26 [Morbus]
which is that?
17:29:30 [Morbus]
ever seen gamegrene? <g>
17:30:01 [AaronSw]
yeah
17:30:06 [AaronSw]
oh, whoops! link: http://not.invisible.net/signals/
17:32:20 [Morbus]
yeah, that is nice.
17:35:29 [bitsko]
you can have the 600-line Perl Wiki I use to run the PRTnews blog ;)
17:36:18 [Morbus]
heh, heh. nah, i want more sturcture
17:36:40 [bitsko]
what kinda structure? it looks just like xmlhack.com
17:38:42 [Morbus]
is it dynamic or static?
17:38:45 [Morbus]
i like static pages.
17:38:51 [Morbus]
xmlhack is dynamic.
17:39:05 [bitsko]
ah. it's dynamic.
17:39:21 [bitsko]
(html generation, that is)
17:39:32 [bitsko]
it's flat-file on the back-end
18:12:34 [Morbus]

Thought: use web.resource.org for a schema repository.
18:36:01 [AaronSw]
or rdf.resource.org
18:38:21 [bitsko]
do they have a nice interface?
18:38:38 [AaronSw]
I'm sure we can get webchick to make one.
18:38:56 [AaronSw]
the http://resource.org/ interface is cute, i think.

MIME, as one example of a passive datatype carrier, has this to
19:08:18 [bitsko]
say in its Security Considerations:
19:08:37 [bitsko]
Security issues are discussed in the context of the "application/postscript" type, the "message/external-body" type, and in RFC 2048. Implementors should pay special attention to the security implications of any media types that can cause the remote execution of any actions in the recipient's environment. In such cases, the discussion of the "application/postscript" type may serve as a model for considering other media types with remote execution capabili

19:11:56 [bitsko]
publishing information RFCs is easy, and one need not even be a member of an organization
19:13:20 [bitsko]
I believe it was Mark Nottingham who volunteered to create the RFC-formatted spec
19:13:44 [bitsko]
may be wrong tho, since he's the one who came back and asked what was up with it ;)
19:14:25 [AaronSw]
hm
19:16:16 [bitsko]
if it were published as an RFC, we could then simply include the MIME type registration

yes, it was Mark who volunteered

well, w3c iwll host us if it's a note
19:26:33 [bitsko]
ietf will host us if it's an RFC :)
19:27:11 [bitsko]
otoh, IETF will want us to reformat it rather dramatically, whereas W3C is, shall we say, quite liberal in what it allows in as Notes
19:28:32 [AaronSw]
IETF will not host us, not in the way I'm thinking.
19:28:44 [AaronSw]
i.e. we will have no URL for our schema, etc.
