(I could never have a conversation like this on Twitter, not with almost 10K followers to annoy, Mstodon lets me chat, and lets people listen in or not, whatever they choose)

@mackiwg @lightweight Ideally, different pages could have different scaffolds - some pages are authored collaboratively via a wiki, others version control and forking like Git...

@mackiwg @lightweight Haven't used flat file for ages - Grav is new to me - my experience was that it was faster but didn't scale well, MySQL handled multiple requests much better (f you kept searches simple)

@mackiwg Yeah... I can do that with the gRSShopper graph now... but want to be able to do it as a multi-user graph... gonna need IPFS to do that, for the unique identifiers (that's why I'm developing CARE)

@mackiwg @lightweight I like a wiki for authoring pages.

As I look at wat you hav, the tech stack has to be institutional - media wiki, wordpress, etc... for me, using a wiki would look like, when you create a 'page' data type, your interface takes on the properties of a wiki

@mackiwg I've been wondering myself. Right now I just read/write directly to Mastodon using the API. I like that. And I worry about drowning out longer blog-like posts under a pile of twitter-like posts. in el30 I'm presenting them seprately.

@mackiwg @lightweight Looks a lot like some of the cMOOC feeds, when we had traffic (you have more traffic than I ever did)

So here's what I've been doing for the last two days... https://halfanhour.blogspot.com/2018/09/designing-e-learning-30-in-grsshopper-2.html

Ack, it's the end of September? Time flies! The site exists at https://el30.mooc.ca but it's just a placeholder. I'm building it as we speak (and writing some blog posts about how I'm building it on Half an Hour).

@jennymac Sort of, though the course outline is pretty explicit about the dates. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iBSfbijqt_WmMb9T8_tD8BSlPGwHogaZ8bafvhk1GS0/edit?usp=sharing

@dogtrax when one student is telling a story, what are the other students doing?

Dentists call for pudding and sweet soft drinks ban in schools #oldaily https://www.downes.ca/post/68626 But if they don't have their pudding they won't eat their meat. How can they eat their meat if they don't have any pudding?

@lauraritchie @clhendricksbc @dogtrax The dancing actually takes place back at the hive, where one bee describes to others where to find flowers.

@lauraritchie @dogtrax I would never make up stories about something as important as dancing bees!

@dogtrax ... kind of like the way bees dance to describe the local landscape to each other?

@theartguy we always started at 9:00 when I was a kid. The neighbour kids here get picked up by the school bus at 9:00. I would find it very hard to start earlier.

@clintlalonde and yet, it's not an either-or. On any given day I see people solvig today's problems with tech, and other people developing new tech.

@stevefoerster Nothing I have bought has ever moved me as much as some of the things I have been given.

@jennymac @x28de @lauraritchie @GeoffreyGevalt Took me a moment to figure out what was wrong, then realized I had written 'ask' instead of 'as'. :p Fixed.
