 classywhetten | Hey, I haven't heard much in terms of what's happening next or what you guys need help with for a while? How are things? | 01:34:13 |

| art|code | Hey Brian, just saw your message -- thanks for the email, also. Did you get the Google docs I emailed you? | 18:10:54 |

| art|code | Hey Brian, thanks for being our new Community Moderator! | 17:59:31 |
| art|code invited  Maximus. | 23:02:40 |
| Maximus joined the room. | 23:02:47 |

| * art|code waves back | 23:05:47 |
| art|code | classywhetten: Brian, meet Max. Max is very knowledgeable about federation and the Matrix project. Would be a great person for you to talk to. | 23:07:57 |
| Maximus | Will do my best to answer the questions you have | 23:09:32 |
| art|code | many thanks | 23:10:33 |

| classywhetten | Hey Max! It's great to meet you. First off, I'm not a very experienced web developer. Most of my experience thus far has been with blender and command line management of my own machines and a web server for some family to use. | 04:28:49 |
| classywhetten | Currently, there isn't really a distributed content management system that accounts for all of our needs. What could work is a git frontend, but there aren't really any of those designed for prose or publication of non code. So here is my current idea (and I would love your input here). Using Flask (python framework if you aren't familiar) to write the server side scripting and git management, and then from there also manage git branches in a federated environment where instance owners can choose (or in the code automate) the federated backup and access to the works. | 04:32:11 |
| classywhetten | Right now I'm working on figuring out ways to have Python call into git and see if we can accomplish everything we need through flask. My main reason for using flask: I already know python and don't currently know other server scripting languages like golang or PHP for server scripting. | 04:36:27 |
| classywhetten | In terms of questions about federation, I'm really a beginner. Mostly I'm looking for you to either find all of the holes in my version one plan, or give some ideas on how things could work inside of that plan. I wish I knew enough to ask specific questions. | 04:38:59 |
| classywhetten | Hey art|code , do you know if there's a way to give new members a standard message that points them to our group on gitlab? | 07:10:31 |
| classywhetten | Also, would you mind sending me the rose logo so I can put that as the group avatar on gitlab? | 07:27:57 |
| Maximus | classywhetten: great to meet you indeed. I think at this point it would be best if you would tell me what the functional requirements you're trying to achieve (so what and why you want to achieve, not how) and I can advise in the direction you should look into | 14:36:27 |
| Maximus | Being a developer myself, but not an artist, it remains a bit blurry what things you are trying to do at the end of the day. I can totally imagine that git doesn't really fit what you want as it was designed for code, but I'm not sure what are the challenges you are trying to complet here. | 14:37:39 |
| classywhetten | Maximus: What we're trying to do is create a story produced by a collective in the same way open source software is created (with master branch,es merge requests, and forks/distributions). The reason I thought to use git was because it already has that functionality built in, as well as version control/history. | 16:24:31 |
| classywhetten | The problems I'm thinking we would solve by federating our content management would be to A) Easily allow others to maintain and host forked versions of the stories B) Give a safety net for the project (availability, redundancy) | 16:30:32 |
| Maximus | so the scope would only be text content? or other kind of content as well? | 16:31:29 |
| classywhetten | Currently text, pictures, and maybe audio. My thought was to have a markdown interpreter inside of flask to publish text content easily, and then insert the pictures and audio inside HTML | 16:33:30 |
| classywhetten | I know that art|code has much loftier goals for her main branch contributions, but those will mostly be written in javascript and part of the web page. | 16:34:13 |
| Maximus | alright | 17:03:19 |
| Maximus | git is definitely not designed for pictures and audio, especially if they go into the MBs sizing, as it significantly reduces overall speed over time | 17:03:47 |
