RSVPed: Attending Gardens and Streams: Wikis, blogs, and UI -- a pop up IndieWebCamp session
We'll be discussing and brainstorming ideas related to wikis and the IndieWeb, user interfaces, functionalities, examples of wikis and how they differ from blogs and other social media interfaces, and everyones' ideas surrounding these.
Phew, I just saw this! Should be a fun session on the link between blogs and (personal) wikis.

Micro.blog\u2019s support for XML-RPC still closely matches what the API looked like nearly 20 years ago.</p>\n\n<p>As is obvious from the name, requests and responses in XML-RPC are sent as XML. Common data types such as integers, strings, and structs are encoded with rules outlined in the XML-RPC specification. To create a new post in the original Blogger API with the words \u201cHello world\u201d, the request to the method <code>blogger.newPost</code> might look like this:</p>\n\n<pre><code><?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n<methodCall>\n <methodName>blogger.newPost</methodName>\n <params>\n <param>\n <value><int>app ID</int></value>\n </param>\n <param>\n <value><int>blog ID</int></value>\n </param>\n <param>\n <value><string>manton</string></value>\n </param>\n <param>\n <value><string>mypassword</string></value>\n </param>\n <param>\n <value><string>Hello world.</string></value>\n </param>\n <param>\n <value><boolean>1</boolean></value>\n </param>\n </params>\n</methodCall>\n</code></pre>\n\n<p>Subsequent blogging platforms extended the Blogger API with their own features. Instead of <code>blogger.newPost</code>, Movable Type had <code>mt.newPost</code> with similar parameters, adding a title field. WordPress had <code>wordpress.newPost</code>.</p>\n\n<p>To try to unify future improvements under a vendor-neutral standard, Dave Winer proposed the <a href=\"http://1998.xmlrpc.com/metaWeblogApi.html\">MetaWeblog API</a>. MetaWeblog switched to passing content as structs, which could more easily be extended with additional fields, and added an image upload API, <code>metaWeblog.newMediaObject</code>. Dave patterned the field names after RSS:</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n<p>The MetaWeblog API uses an XML-RPC struct to represent a weblog post. Rather than invent a new vocabulary for the metadata of a weblog post, we use the vocabulary for an <a href=\"https://cyber.harvard.edu/rss/rss.html#hrelementsOfLtitemgt\">item</a> in RSS 2.0. So you can refer to a post\u2019s title, link and description; or its author, comments, enclosure, guid, etc using the already-familiar names given to those elements in RSS 2.0.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>Dave wasn\u2019t the only one who hoped to bring consistency between feed formats and a blogging API. A couple years later, AtomPub was created based on Atom feeds.</p>\n\n<p>Ben Trott of Six Apart, makers of Movable Type, <a href=\"https://web.archive.org/web/20030707045207/http://www.sixapart.com/log/2003/06/why_we_need_ech.shtml\">blogged at the time</a> about the benefits to basing an API on the Atom feed format, which back then was called Echo:</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n<p>Benefits to developers: using the same data model and serialization for syndication, archiving, and editing simplifies the development of tools to work with (produce and consume) these formats, for obvious reasons: code written to produce an item in an Echo feed, for example, can also be used for producing data sent in an API request or packaged up for archiving.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>AtomPub was adopted in Blogger but is not supported in any other modern blogging platforms. Earlier this year, MarsEdit developer Daniel Jalkut announced that he would also be phasing out support for posting to Blogger.</p>\n\n<p>Between the early 2000s when there was so much activity around blogging standards, and the growth of the IndieWeb and W3C-recommended standard Micropub API in 2017, there was a notable lack of innovation in blogging. Everyone was pulled away to social networks. Platform-specific APIs became the norm. It is because if this lull that XML-RPC survived so long without a modern replacement.</p>\n\n<p>So that brings us to today. Micro.blog has always worked with MarsEdit, but because it\u2019s based on a standard that was frozen, MarsEdit could not support all of Micro.blog\u2019s features. And while Micropub is clearly the future, there is more we could do <em>now</em> without requiring MarsEdit to be adapted for Micropub.</p>\n\n<p>I\u2019ve been working with Daniel to identity what is missing from MetaWeblog and rolling that into a new Micro.blog-specific flavor of XML-RPC. This is essentially what Movable Type and WordPress had done years ago. I had avoided it until now because Micro.blog should default to supporting standards wherever possible before inventing something new.</p>\n\n<p>We talked through this on <a href=\"https://coreint.org/2020/04/episode-416-wait-ten-years/\">Core Intuition 416</a>. Now that there\u2019s <a href=\"https://danielpunkass.micro.blog/2020/04/17/marsedit-will-include.html\">an alpha of MarsEdit 4.4</a> available, I\u2019ve <a href=\"https://help.micro.blog/2020/xmlrpc-microblog/\">documented the new API parameters here</a>. It is based on MetaWeblog, but cleaned up with more consistent field names and support for new features such as creating and editing pages on your blog, server drafts, and downloading all posts.</p>\n\n<p>Micro.blog now shows up in MarsEdit as one of the supported blog systems, along with Tumblr and WordPress:</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://www.manton.org/uploads/2020/b3d856155a.png\" alt=\"MarsEdit systems\" border=\"0\" width=\"313\" height=\"356\" style=\"max-width:313px;\" /></p>\n\n<p>I\u2019ve been using the new MarsEdit for the last few days, and it really is a big improvement for Micro.blog. Keep an eye out for the final release.</p>",

So you can refer to a post\u2019s title, link and description; or its author, comments, enclosure, guid, etc using the already-familiar names given to those elements in RSS 2.0.\n\n\nDave wasn\u2019t the only one who hoped to bring consistency between feed formats and a blogging API. A couple years later, AtomPub was created based on Atom feeds.\n\nBen Trott of Six Apart, makers of Movable Type, blogged at the time about the benefits to basing an API on the Atom feed format, which back then was called Echo:\n\n\nBenefits to developers: using the same data model and serialization for syndication, archiving, and editing simplifies the development of tools to work with (produce and consume) these formats, for obvious reasons: code written to produce an item in an Echo feed, for example, can also be used for producing data sent in an API request or packaged up for archiving.\n\n\nAtomPub was adopted in Blogger but is not supported in any other modern blogging platforms. Earlier this year, MarsEdit developer Daniel Jalkut announced that he would also be phasing out support for posting to Blogger.\n\nBetween the early 2000s when there was so much activity around blogging standards, and the growth of the IndieWeb and W3C-recommended standard Micropub API in 2017, there was a notable lack of innovation in blogging. Everyone was pulled away to social networks. Platform-specific APIs became the norm. It is because if this lull that XML-RPC survived so long without a modern replacement.\n\nSo that brings us to today. Micro.blog has always worked with MarsEdit, but because it\u2019s based on a standard that was frozen, MarsEdit could not support all of Micro.blog\u2019s features. And while Micropub is clearly the future, there is more we could do now without requiring MarsEdit to be adapted for Micropub.\n\nI\u2019ve been working with Daniel to identity what is missing from MetaWeblog and rolling that into a new Micro.blog-specific flavor of XML-RPC. This is essentially what Movable Type and WordPress had done years ago. I had avoided it until now because Micro.blog should default to supporting standards wherever possible before inventing something new.\n\nWe talked through this on Core Intuition 416. Now that there\u2019s an alpha of MarsEdit 4.4 available, I\u2019ve documented the new API parameters here. It is based on MetaWeblog, but cleaned up with more consistent field names and support for new features such as creating and editing pages on your blog, server drafts, and downloading all posts.\n\nMicro.blog now shows up in MarsEdit as one of the supported blog systems, along with Tumblr and WordPress:\n\n\n\nI\u2019ve been using the new MarsEdit for the last few days, and it really is a big improvement for Micro.blog. Keep an eye out for the final release."

Hey Spencer, thanks for the kind words.
Have you seen indiebookclub.biz? That’s a little tool I’ve put together that makes it easier to post those read posts to your site. It’s via Micropub and there is an indieweb plugin that adds Micropub support to Wordpress sites, so you might be closer to achieving this than you think!
I’m not super familiar with the WordPress plugin, but the IndieWeb WordPress community would be happy to help with any questions. There’s a dedicated chat channel for WordPress if you want to stop by. More details at indieweb.org/discuss.

Hey @kickscondor not sure if you've seen but the cert for https://indieweb.xyz/ seems to have expired - "4/18/2020, 12:32:43 AM (British Summer Time)" according to the cert. May need a nudge to renew it!

A lot of interesting ideas here! The individual book entries appear to be a hybrid of a citation and a review, so I wonder about using microformats2 h-cite and h-review.
On my list of reading posts I use h-cite to mark up the books with the uid being the ISBN or DOI. Check out the parsed result of that page. My list isn’t really a bookshelf since each post has its own read-status, but take a look at the parsed h-cite within each post.
This gets more hypothetical since I have not posted a lot of reviews, but an h-review post could have the item be the book’s h-cite. A bookshelf would then be a stream of h-cite and h-review posts. A nice benefit of that is social readers are already able to subscribe to and display those streams.
