        "text": "Foreword\n\nA couple of weeks ago I noticed one of our newer IndieWeb community participants found an example on the IndieWeb wiki that no longer worked, and it was from someone who hasn\u2019t been around for a while.\n\nI knew that person had various things come up in their personal life, thus left without warning, and was unable to maintain their site (with said example) as well. This wasn\u2019t the first time this has happened. I noted in our community chat that there were community care, repair, and supportiveness issues worth discussing, summarized with: \ntl;dr: life happens, and expressed a goal:\n\n\nI\u2019d like to figure out how we as a community can 1) provide support to folks who have \u201clife happens\u201d events and not feel \u201cguilty\u201d about being absent or abruptly having to stop participating, and 2) do \u201crepair\u201d on our pages in a kind and respectful way that doesn't exacerbate their guilt/shame, and ideally makes it clear they are welcome back any time\n\n\nWhat followed was my stream of consciousness and braindump on the subject matter, which after seeing it resonated with and being encouraged by several members of the community, I collected into an IndieWeb wiki page:\nlife happens. I\u2019m blogging most of what I wrote there because I think it\u2019s worth its own post and wanted to capture my thoughts & feelings on this matters while I remember the context.\n\n\n\u201cLife Happens\u201d is an acknowledgement that there are numerous things that people experience in their actual physical lives that suddenly take higher priority than nearly anything else (like participation in volunteer-based communities), and those communities (like the IndieWeb) should acknowledge, accept, and be supportive of community members experiencing such events.\n\nWhat Happens\n\nWhat kind of events? Off the top of my head I came up with several that I\u2019ve witnessed community members (including a few myself) experience, like:\n\n\ngetting married \u2014 not having experienced this myself, I can only imagine that for some folks it causes a priorities reset\n\n\nhaving a child \u2014 from what I've seen this pretty much causes nearly everything else that isn\u2019t essential to get dropped, acknowledging that there are many family shapes, without judgment of any\n\n\ngoing through a bad breakup or divorce \u2014 the trauma, depression etc. experienced can make you want to not show up for anything, sometimes not even get out of bed\n\n\nstarting a new job \u2014 that takes up all your time, and/or polices what you can say online, or where you may participate\n\n\nbecoming an essential caregiver \u2014 caring for an aging, sick, or critically ill parent, family member, or other person\n\n\nbuying a house \u2014 often associated with a shift in focus of personal project time \n(hat tip: Marty McGuire)\n\n\nhome repairs or renovations \u2014 similar to \u201cnew house\u201d project time, or urgent repairs.  This is one that I\u2019ve been personally both \u201cdealing with\u201d and somewhat embracing since December 2019 (with maybe a few weeks off at times), due to an infrastructure failure the previous month, which turned into an inspired series of renovations\n\n\ndeath of a family member, friend, pet\n\n\u2026 more examples of \n how life happens on the wiki\n\nValues, People, and Making It Explicit\n\nWhen these things happen, as a community, I feel we should respond with kindness, support, and understanding when someone steps back from community participation or projects. We should not shame or guilt them in any way, and ideally act in such a way that welcomes their return whenever they are able to do so.\n\n\nMany projects (especially open source software) often talk about their \n\u201cbus factor\u201d (or more positively worded \u201clottery factor\u201d). However that framing focuses on the robustness of the project (or company) rather than those contributing to it. Right there in IndieWeb\u2019s motto is an encouragement to reframe: be a \u201cpeople-focused alternative to the corporate [\u2026]\u201d.\n\n\nThe point of \u201clife happens\u201d is to decenter the corporation or project when it comes to such matters, and instead focus on the good of the people in the community. Resiliency of humanity over resiliency of any particular project or organization.\n\n\nAdopting such values and practices explicitly is more robust than depending on accidental good faith or informal cultural support. Such emotional care should be the clearly written default, rather than something everyone has to notice and figure out on their own. I want to encourage more mutual care-taking as a form of community-based resiliency, and make it less work for folks experiencing \u201clife happens\u201d moments. Through such care, I believe you get actually sustainable community resiliency, without having to sacrifice or burn people out.\n\nAcknowledging Life Happens And You Should Take Care\n\nIt\u2019s important to communicate to community members, and especially new community members that a community believes in mutual care-taking. That yes, if and when \u201clife happens\u201d to you that:\n\nwe want you to take care of what you need to take care of\n\nyou are encouraged to prioritize those things most important to you, and that the community will not judge or shame you in any way\n\nyou should not feel guilty about being absent, or abruptly having to stop participating\n\nit is ok to ask for help in the community with any of your community projects or areas of participation, no matter what size or importance\n\nthe community will be here for you when you\u2019re able to and want to return\n\n\nIt\u2019s an incomplete & imperfect list, yet hopefully captures the values and general feeling of support. More suggestions welcome.\n\nHow to Help\n\nSimilarly, if you notice someone active in the community is missing, if you feel you know them well enough, you\u2019re encouraged to reach out and unobtrusively check on them, and ask (within your capacity) if there\u2019s anything you can do to help out with any community projects or areas of participation.\n\n\nThanks to \nChris Aldrich \nfor expanding upon \nHow to help and encouraging folks to Keep in mind that on top of these life changes and stresses, the need to make changes to social activities (like decreasing or ceasing participation in the IndieWeb community) can be an added additional compounding stress on top of the others. Our goal should be to mitigate this additional stress as much as possible.\n\nHow to Repair\n\nAbsence(s) from the community can result in shared resources or projects falling behind or breaking. It\u2019s important to provide guidance to the community with how to help repair such things, especially in a caring way without any shame or guilt. Speaking to a second person voice:\n\n\nYou might notice that one or more projects, wiki pages, or sections appear to be abandoned or in disrepair. This could be for any number of reasons, so it\u2019s best to ask about it in a \ndiscussion \nchannel to see if anyone knows what\u2019s going on. If it appears someone is missing (for any reason), you may do kind and respectful repairs on related pages \n(wikifying), \nin a manner that attempts to minimize or avoid any guilt or shame, and ideally makes it clear they are welcome back any time.\n\n\nIf you come across an \nIndieWeb Examples section on a page where the links either don\u2019t work (404, broken in some other way, or support appears to have been dropped), move that specific IndieWeb Example to a \u201cPast Examples\u201d section, and fix the links with Internet Archive versions, perhaps at a point in time of when the links were published (e.g. permalinks with dates in their paths), or by viewing history on the wiki page and determining when the broken links were added.\n\nEncouraging More Communities To Be Supportive When Life Happens\n\nWhen I shared these thoughts with the IndieWeb chat and wiki a couple of weeks ago, no one knew of any other open (source, standards, etc.) communities that had such an explicit \u201cLife Happens\u201d statement or otherwise explicitly captured such a sentiment.\n\n\nMy hope is that the IndieWeb community can set a good example here for making a community more humane and caring (rather than the \u201cjust work harder\u201d capitalist default, or quiet unemotional detached neglect of an abandoned GitHub repo).\n\n\nThat being said, we\u2019re definitely interested in knowing about other intentional creative communities with any similar explicit sentiments or statements of community care, especially those that acknowledge that members of a community may experience things which are more important to them than their participation in that community, and being supportive of that.\n\n\nThis blog post is a snapshot in time and my own expression, most of which is shared freely on the IndieWeb wiki.\n\n\nIf this kind of statement resonates with you and your communities, you\u2019re encouraged to write one of your own, borrowing freely from the latest (and CC0 licensed) version on the wiki: life happens. Attribution optional. Either way, let us know, as it would be great to collect other examples of communities with explicit \u201clife happens\u201d statements.\n\nThanks\n\nThanks to early feedback & review in chat from \nKevin Marks, \nJacky Alcine,\nAnthony Ciccarello, \nBen Werdm\u00fcller, and\ngRegor Morrill.\nOn the wiki page, thanks for\nexcellent additions from \nChris Aldrich, \nand proofreading & precise fixes from  \nJeremy Cherfas. \nThanks for the kind tweets \nAna Rodrigues \nand \nBarry Frost.\n\n\nNow back to some current \u201clife happens\u201d things\u2026\n(also posted on IndieNews)\n\nResponses\n\nMurray Adcock on 2021-02-21:\nThere's a lot I like about the IndieWeb community, but one of the best elements is a constant determination to strive to be better. Their recent adoption of an official \"Life Happens\" policy is a great example. It's a commitment to recognise that, well, life happens and that being part of an online community, or volunteering time/effort, is never a requirement. That slipping out for a bit is not just okay, but encouraged, whatever the reason. And providing a framework for supporting individuals in the community to whom life is happening.\n\n\nKimberly Hirsh on 2021-03-28:\nBeing in a \u201clife happens\u201d moment myself (finishing my dissertation), I originally missed Tantek \u00c7elik\u2019s chat conversations & blog post about developing a \u201clife happens\u201d approach to community participation & care on the IndieWeb.

        "text": "I have slowly but surely been working on an IndieAuth module for ProcessWire. IndieAuth lets you sign in to applications using your domain name and grant access to read/write to your site. I initially set up a version of this in 2016. My understanding of IndieAuth was limited at the time and it really only let you use IndieAuth to sign into your own site. There are some interesting possibilities there, but it was premature.\n\nSo what does this module actually do?\n\n1. Authentication: When you visit a site like indielogin.com and enter your domain name, you will be taken to your ProcessWire admin area to approve the request. If you approve the request, you will be returned to the site and logged in as your domain name.\n\n2. Authorization: When you visit an application like Quill, it needs to also get your permission to post to your site. You will be taken to your ProcessWire admin area to approve the request and the scopes that the app is requesting (create, update, delete, etc.). If you approve the request, you will be returned to the app, logged in as your domain name, and the app will have an access token for your site.\n\nFeatures\n\nBrowse the applications you have granted access tokens to. See when each one was granted, last used, and will expire.\n\tRevoke any application\u2019s access tokens\n\tSet the default expiration period for new access tokens. The initial default is 14 days.\n\tDuring authorization, confirm and change the scopes granted to the application. For example, an app may request \u201ccreate\u201d and \u201cdelete\u201d scopes, but you can grant only \u201ccreate.\u201d\n\tDuring authorization, you can also choose to grant an access token with no expiration\nTry it out!\n\nI have been testing the new module and think it is almost ready to release in the ProcessWire modules directory. I would like to have a few more people beta test it and provide feedback first, though. If you\u2019re interested, follow these steps:\n\n\nDownload ProcessWire IndieAuth from Github and follow the instructions there to install it\n\tTest Authentication: visit indielogin.com and enter your domain name. Follow the prompts to authenticate and you should end up back on indielogin.com with a success message.\n\tTest Authorization: visit Quill and enter your domain name. Follow the prompts, noting the additional fields for scopes and expiration. After successfully authorizing, you should end up back on Quill with a success message.\n\tGo back to the ProcessWire admin area of your site. Visit Access > IndieAuth and you should see an entry for the access you just granted to Quill.\n\t\nOptionally test access tokens\n\nTo test access tokens, you will need a module that accepts them. I have set up a minimal Micropub module for that purpose. All it does currently is verify the access token and shows a debugging message indicating the request was received.\n\nFollow the instructions to install the Micropub module. Go back to Quill and try to post a short note to your site. Quill is expected to respond with \u201cSomething went wrong,\u201d but scroll down and the section labelled Micropub response should show \u201cDebugging: Micropub request received.\u201d If you see that, it means the Micropub module successfully received and verified the access token!\n\nThe Micropub module will eventually be fully functional so you can publish to your site using a variety of Micropub clients, but that is a separate project that is going to take me some more time. I wanted to get the IndieAuth module out there instead of waiting to release both at the same time.\n\nMore information\n\nIf you\u2019re interested in more details on IndieAuth, I recommend \u201cOAuth for the Open Web\u201d by Aaron Parecki.
