Clarification about what OS means #8

Closed RichardLitt closed 9 years ago

RichardLitt commented 9 years ago

Doesn't mean the entire site, just the front end is enough

simonv3 commented 9 years ago

What if you also had a os:related-project tag?

RichardLitt commented 9 years ago

How far would that rabbit hole go?

simonv3 commented 9 years ago

Is that a problem?

RichardLitt commented 9 years ago

Better phrasing: What is the use of related-project? What scope are you thinking?

simonv3 commented 9 years ago

For example, the front page of Mailpile is open source, but the main project is also open source, and isn't stored in the same place as the website.

I think there's a use case for a content consumer to see "oh, this is an opensource website, where is the code" (follows os:repo), and then. "Neat, where is the actual project that this is related to?" (follows os:project).

It depends on whether you want the os: property tag to be a descriptor of the open source project or to just point at the source of the website.

I guess I was worrying that os:project might be too confusing, but you're right that not having it might be more so. I'm happy with implementing it.

RichardLitt commented 9 years ago

We should also have an os:project_src then, too, no?

Same. I think project is too vague and contrary to the central point of describing the document itself.

So maybe it should just be a source metatag? I think it's the "open" that's throwing me off.

RichardLitt commented 9 years ago

os means exactly what it says - open source. If you can find the code for the website online, than it is open source. Right?

simonv3 commented 9 years ago

just because it means that, does that mean that that's what people will think?

I define it in the doc. I think following og here is fine. It's also a smaller footprint.
