schestowitzLast week in IRC someone asked us to add gemini to the RSS feeds, though I'm not sure what clients support this and howApr 17 05:00
Techrights-secIt looks about 5 minutes long.  I'll check it out.Apr 17 05:00
Techrights-secIt is important to feed Gemini space.Apr 17 05:00
Techrights-secRSS would be easy if there is a spec somewhere for Gemini.  If it is justApr 17 05:03
Techrights-seca matter of making a new feed containing Gemini links, that is not hard.Apr 17 05:03
Techrights-secand not time-consuming.  What about the feeds we already have in  Apr 17 05:03

Techrights-secgemini://gemini.techrights.org/feed/Apr 17 05:03
Techrights-secgemini://gemini.techrights.org/daily-feed/Apr 17 05:03
schestowitzMaybe there are already RSS readers that support gemini? I know of none...Apr 17 05:03
Techrights-secRSS is not difficult, it is just a structured document (XM)Apr 17 05:04
Techrights-sec(XML)Apr 17 05:04
schestowitzI could craft another field for gemini, but I don't know how it's used by the person who brought it up in IRC (s/he had left before I could ask)Apr 17 05:05
Techrights-secMaybe the Gemini list has collective knowledge about the "right" way to do Apr 17 05:12
Techrights-secand RSS feed?    Apr 17 05:12
schestowitzI am a lurker, don't want to subscribe and participate as that tends to be super-time-consuming (I did that ages ago)Apr 17 05:13
Techrights-secI think the archive has some discussion of it, if I recall correctly.Apr 17 05:24
schestowitz"Knowing that many people have changed their minds since signing the hate letter (which was frozen to prevent them removing their names), it has been suggested to us that we use the git log to figure out the number of people asking to retract/revoke their signature (until it was "locked") because there may be hundreds such people."Apr 17 05:37
schestowitzDo you know how to get the names from the git archive?Apr 17 05:37
Techrights-secI'm not that familiar with Git yet.  Apr 17 05:45
Techrights-sec(BTW see rms-on-sharing.transcript.txt)Apr 17 05:45
Techrights-secAs for the GitHub attack letter against RMS, I would say to checkout or cloneApr 17 05:45
Techrights-secit and then use some log statitics on it. Apr 17 05:45
Techrights-sece.g.Apr 17 05:45
Techrights-sec$ git log --format='%aN' | sort -u Apr 17 05:45
Techrights-secand see where that goes.Apr 17 05:45
Techrights-secA clone is probably a good idea before that too is prevented.Apr 17 05:45
schestowitzI will have a go at itApr 17 05:45
Techrights-secIf the clone is archived, it will compress well with tar and gzip.  Apr 17 05:47
schestowitzroy@vonick:/tmp/rms-open-letter.github.io$ git log --format='%aN' | sort -u  | wc -lApr 17 05:48

Techrights-secInteresting.Apr 17 05:57
Techrights-secHow many backed out once they saw how wrong its premises are?Apr 17 05:57
schestowitzwould this headline be correct?Apr 17 06:01
schestowitzHate Letter Against FSF (Concern Trolls): 1415 Committers, Letter in Support of FSF (With Its Founder Back): 5116Apr 17 06:01
Techrights-secBe sure to have someone familiar with Git verify that.  It would notApr 17 06:06
Techrights-secdo to publish a mistake.  But it is big news if true.Apr 17 06:06
