Notes
The traditions connected with this week:
Since we did not have the time to go over everything we did last week for most people, I suggest we all write in the eatherpad what we did, and we can discuss the ones that are of interest to somebody else?
- Sara JakΕ‘a
- I have added the filtering to my books page - since I already collect some metadata for my own purpose it made sense to just allow for filtering: https://sarajaksa.eu/books
- I have changed the filtering for my movie project from JavaScript to CSS and added James as another participant: https://sarajaksa.eu/projects/indieweb-movies/posters.html
- Finished the entries for this month carnivals: for IndieWebhttps://sarajaksa.eu/2024/02/indieweb-carnival-february-2024-the-technology-mediated-relationships/ and Aro https://sarajaksa.eu/2024/02/the-carnival-of-aros-february-2024-personal-understanding-of-romance-and-marriage-in-slovenia/ (if somebody have some thoughs about the Romance in their own culture, please participate in the later as well)

https://joinbookwyrm.com/ - Activitypub-based equivalent of GoodReads
POSSE or PESOS to GoodReads?
- API access was dropped in 2020 (https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/Does-Goodreads-support-the-use-of-APIs) to "to continually improve our data management"
- The Goodreads still provides the RSS feeds of the updates and added/finished books
https://www.66books.co.uk/monthly-book-club - "Where 66 Books is open one weekend a month to members of the public & not businesses. Come alone, with a friend or bring your kids (no booking required) - it's 70% off all books for everyone!"
Feed for the Mastodon
- The problem with the duplication of the material - reader would need to check for the canonical and make sure to only show one

Joe Crawford joined from the beach in San Diego https://flic.kr/p/2pyen8E - this week I updated my custom theme to allow (limited) threading by adding replies to individual comments which required gutting all my custom code including the "walker" in the comment lister in WordPress. - had to drop off thanks everyone!
- That beach looks really nice
Book club
- Do we want a book club - in the similar style as the indieweb carnival? - we could do one book each month
- There is a book club that does the Terry Pracher books - quater of the book wach two weeks
- The Chicaago manual as in the Dracula daily style
- What would be a good format for the book like Powerbroker (?)?
- We could also have topic and each one reads the book on the topic
