       Historically, a **Colophon** was "a statement at the end of a book, typically with a printer's emblem, giving information about its authorship and printing" (via Google Dictionary).

       This is a feature write up for [[Moa Party]].

       My [[agora]] is stored in Git as a series of Markdown files, and I have some process for adding, editing, and publishing those notes. The [[Anagora]] server automatically ingests and publishes my agora directly from a Git interface.

     

       13
       13
       +
       

     

       14
       14
       +
       A [[siphon]] is a way of ingesting content into an agora. By using git directly, anything that can post to git can be ingested.

     

       15

       16
       16

       Since Moa Party already supports Twitter and Mastodon cross posting, it is also a good candidate to add a git siphon to: posts made to Twitter or Mastodon, as well as being cross posted according to settings, can also be siphoned into the git repo that contains a person's agora notes.

       +
       As a user, I go to moa.party and connect a git account. Gitlab / Github will be the two initial targets, since we have users who have their agoras on both.

     

       21
       21
       +
       

     

       22
       22
       +
       The server then has credentials which allow to post on behalf of the user to a single repo.

       ## Posting to a Daily Log

       26
       26
       +
       Rather than posting tweets as notes, we want to add posts to a Daily Log. 

     

       27
       27
       +
       

     

       28
       28
       +
       If no Daily Log exists for the current day, create it with correct name and front matter, and write the current post to the top of it.

     

       29
       29
       +
       

     

       30
       30
       +
       If it does exist, append the current post to the bottom of the file.

     

       31
       31
       +
       

     

       32
       32
       +
       * preference text field: path to daily logs folder, default `_posts/journal`

     

       33
       33
       +
       * preference text field: format of daily log files, default `[YYYY-MM-DD.md]`

     

       34
       34
       +
       * preference text field: front matter settings

     

       35

       +
       

     

       36

       Look at [[IndieKit]] for ideas on templates and how this is done. This can get moderately complicated.

     

       37
       37
       +
       

     

       38
       38
       +
       Something like:

     

       39
       39
       +
       ```html

     

       40
       40
       +
       <article name="TIMESTAMP">

     

       41
       41
       +
       <p>POST CONTENT GOES HERE<br />

     

       42
       42
       +
       <br />AND ANOTHER LINE<br />

     

       43
       43
       +
       <br />AND [[WIKILINKS]] GET LINKED<br />

     

       44
       44
       +
       </p>

     

       45
       45
       +
       <!-- Images at bottom -->

     

       46
       46
       +
       <img src="https://example.com" />

     

       47
       47
       +
       <!-- I have a better example of Twitter posting, we do want to include at least time, timezones are tricky -->

     

       48
       48
       +
       <cite>8:00PM<a href="https://twitter.com">#</a></cite>

     

       49
       49
       +
       </article>

     

       50

       +
       ```

     

       51

       +
       

     

       52
       52
       +
       The output is then a page with each post in chronological order for the day.

       ## Filtering Options

       56
       56
       +
       A siphon isn't really cross posting, so the filtering options are different. We'll need to think through these options and how they interact with the core cross-posting filter options.

     

       57
       57
       +
       

     

       58
       58
       +
       * Toggle yes/no (radio button?): Send all posts to Git; if "no", show other checkboxes:

     

       59
       59
       +
       * Only post if [[wikilinks]] are included

     

       60
       60
       +
       * Only post if there is a link or image included

     

       61
       61
       +
       * Only post if global hashtag is included

     

       62
       62
       +
       

     

       63
       63
       +
       Zero or more checkboxes can be checked, and each checked rule must be satisfied.

     

       64
       64
       +
       

     

       65
       65
       +
       eg.

     

       66
       66
       +
       

     

       67
       67
       +
       ```

     

       68
       68
       +
       This is a sample [[Moa Party]] post that will end up in Git for my digital garden https://github.com/bmann/bmcgarden #moa

     

       69
       69
       +
       ```

     

       70
       70
       +
       

     

       71
       71
       +
       This post would get posted even if all the checkboxes were checked -- includes a wikilink, has a link, and uses the global hashtag

       +
       

     

       27
       27
       +
       Create a Mastodon account, pick a home server for Moa Party, maybe `mastodon.social`?

     

       28
       28
       +
       * In the future, we may very well want to run a Mastodon server of our own for various experimental things for [[FedStoa]]

     

       29

       +
       

     

       30
       30
       +
       Create a "Wikilinks Support" open collective goal

     

       31
       31
       +
       * initially this will post [[wikilink]] content to a Git repo as a Daily Logo

     

       32
       32
       +
       * Need to write up [[Git Siphon for Moa Party]] feature

     

       33
       33
       +
       

     

       34
       34
       +
       Write up a blog post announcing Moa as a public utility

     

       35

       +
       

     

       36
       36
       +
       Create a "Roam Support" open collective goal

     

       37
       37
       +
       * do this later, once we have Instagram and the Git siphon underway

       As of September 2020, Instagram cross posting is disabled because of changes in the Instagram API. Likely same reason that [[OwnYourGram]] doesn't really work anymore.

       The reMarkable is a "paper tablet" with a monochrome e-ink screen with touch support, and a non-powered stylus.

       Anton @theunfoldingway asked if it supports custom templates. I had just discovered the [regular templates for notes](https://support.remarkable.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002674558-Templates).

       The site was a bit slow because I am using [[Cloudflare IPFS Gateway]] plus Fission hosting, which occasionally has some caching issues.

       Starting last night, I seriously started using my new [[reMarkable]] paper tablet.

       Then, this morning, [as I posted](https://blog.bmannconsulting.com/2021/02/13/sitting-at-the.html), I wrote out 6 pages of a blog post at the breakfast table, my [[Drop in Audio]] post.

       Lots of [questions in the Twitter thread](https://twitter.com/bmann/status/1360652606612385801), which I'll capture on the [[reMarkable]] notes page, also where I'll add other things I find out about over time.

       Did a bunch of [[Moa Party]] writing to capture some discussions happening in Matrix. I'm excited for the [[Git Siphon for Moa Party]] feature I wrote up.

       I also bought `moaparty.com`. Nothing there right now, I guess I should at least do a redirect or something. It might be the root domain for running an experimental [[Mastodon]] / [[ActivityPub]] server of some kind for [[FedStoa]] experiments with @flancian and friends.
