Consider Merging IndieAuth and Micropub into the Indieweb Plugin #100

Closed dshanske closed 4 years ago

dshanske commented 6 years ago

This is a proposal made in chat. Opened this issue to discuss.

This would be merged as independent pieces within this plugin. A requirement would be that they be designed could be independently installed manually, but they would be developed and distributed together.

The rel-me piece would be adjusted in the same manner...moved into a subdirectory so that it could be easily installed by itself.

This would realign this back to the original 'Jetpack' module idea.

For me, I can understand the pros and cons. It would reduce the development burden, as well as the burden for later generation individuals to install a variety of plugins.

The con is that if you want one thing, you get everything. But as long as you can disable it from loading, is that an issue?

I do not think the plugins are the main problem... I think the main problem is the theme support and the mf2 problem.

What problem is this solving? It sounds like from your comment that it is only solving a development workflow problem? It would be good to capture the reasoning.

dshanske commented 6 years ago

IndieAuth as a client is implemented in both, basically

dshanske commented 6 years ago

It's the continual consolidation argument

pfefferle commented 6 years ago

Do you still want to work on the single plugins? My case is, that I want to run the plugins independent from the IndieWeb plugin.

pfefferle commented 6 years ago

@aaronpk I would like to give the question back: I think the merge of all these plugins "is only solving a development workflow problem". I do not see an issue here and would prefer to focus on problems like an alternative to the wp-uf2 plugin, or more concrete, the WordPress theme issues.

I am not giving much attention to doing this

pfefferle commented 6 years ago

Sorry, perhaps the wrong place to discuss this, but I searched through the issues of we ever talked about themes and how we improve the handling of themes with only microformats1 or broken microformats support

miklb commented 6 years ago

the single most common piece of feedback from beginning users has and continues to be that there are too many plugins, folks don't know which plugins they should install.

If a better on boarding user experience the goal, then at some point merging plugins would be useful. But solving mf2 & theme issues is probably a higher priority in that area right now.

Closing this.
