Comment on FEP Tracker Tool
silverpill@socialhub.activitypub.rocks 2 days ago We can define a new metadata attribute for categorization: #520 - [META] Tags - fediverse/fep - Codeberg.org
There are several things that need to be decided before we move forward with this:
- The name of the attribute -
tags,categoriesor something else? - Are items arbitrary strings, or pre-defined?
- Value format: comma-separated values or YAML? Related issue: #824 - QUESTION: Inline lists in frontmatter? - fediverse/fep - Codeberg.org
tags is better than categories, imo. The tracker originally used categories from the existing frontmatter field, and it led to inconsistencies. I’ve just updated the tracker with a cleaner categorization schema based on keywords only, but can adapt it to whatever system we come up with.
Hybrid. A recommended vocabulary of tags that authors are encouraged to draw from, plus the ability to add new tags when none fit.
If we’re defining a new categories/tags field in #520, we should standardize it on YAML inline lists from the start, and potentially use this as the opportunity to also resolve #177 and #824 by migrating authors and relatedFeps to the same format.
