Khürt, a webmention wasn't sent to my site because the URL for my post doesn't appear on your page. The URL you've wrapped around my name in your post is the permalink for your post instead. The better option is to put my URL into the URL field in the Post Kinds meta box in the admin UI as seen here: http://boffosocko.com/2017/08/11/post-kinds-plugin-for-wordpress/#How+to+use+Post+Kinds+in+practice

This will cause the URL to be wrapped with the appropriate microformat class "u-in-reply-to" that will trigger your webmention plugin and send your response to me. Without my URL on your page, the webmention plugin won't send me one, and then on my end, my page won't accept a webmention if your page doesn't have my URL on it.

Just replying.

Khürt, I'm a little reticent to use some of the older code in the OStatus plugin (suite) as well, but almost all of it was written by Matthias Pfefferle whose code I trust. He self-dogfoods almost all of it himself in addition to much of the codebase for other IW WordPress plugins. I suspect all of it works as advertised and I've heard he's continuing to work on many of these particular parts. The Salmon plugin may look "old" but I suspect it's because it's an older standard that really hasn't changed and thus doesn't need regular updates.

The tough part about all of these options though is that they are all somewhat fragmented and only cover bits and pieces of these bigger networks. They've still got some time to "bake", but the movement on them and their current capabilities are pretty impressive.

I also thought it was perhaps that I wasn't following either @ryan@snarfed.org or @me@snarfed.org (through my native mastodon.social account), but that doesn't seem to be the issue. In fact, it won't let me subscribe to either as a stand-alone instance and gives me a "422Validation failed: Username has already been taken" error when I try.

I'm sure it's early days yet, but Kudos on what you've got working so far! I'll take a stab at using it all with Known in a few days as well, though I've got some quirky issues with my likes and reposts there that may need to be ironed out on my install first.

@Sarah_Mojarad Curious if you've got time for coffee in coming weeks in LA/Pasadena to chat about your class, #scicomm, and related areas?

@WordCampRS I've seen a few speaker announcements, but has the schedule been posted yet?

@scott_gruber In the erstwhile: I use MiKTeX for LaTeX and edit in WinEdt. Provides most outputs I need for physical publishing including high quality .pdf outputs. Depending on my needs, I've got publisher accounts at most of the online services as well as some of the bigger printers like Ingram for physical books and some distribution.

@SaPlaneGuy I see what you did there. An interesting test to be sure.

@scott_gruber I was always a fan of how @adactio set up his online book. Makes me wonder if there's a print version? https://resilientwebdesign.com/

@scott_gruber We should definitely set up a virtual one some time in the next few weeks. Let me see what I can pull off.
