Milestone: Blog plugin and Notes of type Article and Page
|
|
</title><description><![CDATA[
|
|
|
|
<p>We have implemented group federation, and <a href="https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/2100/">ensured compatibility with Lemmy (MR #2100)</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This was achieved by strategically introducing the <a href="https://code.undefinedhackers.net/GNUsocial/gnu-social/src/branch/v3/plugins/Blog">Blog Plugin</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><img src="assets/blog/create_article.png" alt="" title="" /></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Related discussion concerning compatibility with Friendica:
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2144">Lemmy issue #2144</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Both GNU social and Lemmy have created test fixtures and the respective tests to
|
|
ensure that this now existing compatibility isn't loss. More fixtures are in the
|
|
plans.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Various improvements and changes in our Notification component derived from this
|
|
development. GNU social and Lemmy have also agreed on expressing and
|
|
understanding unlisted Likes in a manner analogous to how we handle Notes. But
|
|
GNU social still has to implement support for that form of Like.</p>

Milestone: Organisations and Group Tags
|
|
</title><description><![CDATA[
|
|
|
|
<p>This milestone elaborates on the <a href="https://www.gnusocial.rocks/v3/updates-local-groups.html">Local Groups update</a>. We have decided that internally a organisation would be a specialization of the Group Actor. The same way we handle happenings, polls, articles, and pages as specializations of notes.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It is already possible to create organization actors,
|
|
<img src="assets/groups/create_org.png" alt="" title="" /></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>and too have self tags on groups, which then aid on discoverability.

Milestone: OAuth 2.0
|
|
</title><description><![CDATA[
|
|
|
|
<p>OAuth support is accomplished via a GNU social plugin.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Accompanying it came the possibility of a plugin feature a shell script for
|
|
setting pre-requirements that can be automatically executed by GNU social's
|
|
installer.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There was also an upgrade of the core authentication stack that made it more
|
|
simple and flexible.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Finally, the plugin was tested with <a href="http://andstatus.org/">AndStatus</a>, related
|
|
discussion available at: <a href="https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/549">AndStatus #549</a>.</p>

Milestone: Web Monetization
|
|
</title><description><![CDATA[
|
|
|
|
<p><a href="https://webmonetization.org/">Web Monetization</a> is being proposed as a W3C
|
|
standard at the Web Platform Incubator Community Group.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>GNU social now supports that initiative with the <a href="https://code.undefinedhackers.net/GNUsocial/gnu-social/src/branch/v3/plugins/WebMonetization">Web Monetization plugin</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>With this, we also introduce an ActivityPub (<a href="https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/pulls/1">FEP-8c3f</a>) GS extension
|
|
<code>gs:webmonetizationWallet</code>. This enables actors to support other actors with Web
|
|
Monetization in the fediverse.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It looks like this:</p>

|
|
<h2>Own profile</h2>

Milestone: Automatic Accesibility (A11Y) testing
|
|
</title><description><![CDATA[
|
|
|
|
<p>We use <code>pa11y-ci</code> to run our accesibility testing on all GNU social
|
|
pages. The process of setting this up was a bit of a ride, but the
|
|
results are quite useful:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><img src="assets/a11y/report.png" alt="Accesibility report generated by Pa11y" title="" /></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>We also take screenshots of all pages and compare them with the
|
|
previous, allowing us to spot (possibly) unintended changes in the UI.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The way we do this is by using a <code>docker</code> image derived from <code>node</code>,
|
|
with <code>pa11y-ci</code> installed, which doesn't have an entrypoint. This then
|
|
allows us to spin up a webserver, PHP and Redis containers, mimiking a
|
|
staging environment. <code>pa11y-ci</code> uses a JSON config file to tell it
|
|
what to do, and handles visiting all pages with the given resolution,
|
|
logging in and registering any accesibility violations found.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><img src="assets/a11y/violations.png" alt="Accesibility violations found by Pa11y" title="" /></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that most of these errors are actually the same.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The saved screenshots are then used to detect changes, with
|
|
ImageMagik's <code>compare</code>, to generate a report on visual changes.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><img src="assets/a11y/compare.png" alt="Screenshot comparisons" title="" /></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>We were already striving for making GNU social accesible, which is
|
|
clear from the really low number of violations found, but there's
|
|
always room for improvement :)</p>

Milestone: Collections
|
|
</title><description><![CDATA[
|
|
|
|
<p>We have generalized collections around our search engine. For that introducing
|
|
the <a href="https://code.undefinedhackers.net/GNUsocial/gnu-social/src/branch/v3/components/Collection">Collection component</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This structure has the following implication:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>Collection -> OrderedCollection
|
|
|-> Notes (known as Feed)
|
|
|-> Actors (known as Circle)
|
|
|-> Other Object (known as Collection of ...)
|
|
|-> Attachments: AttachmentCollection
|
|
|-> Tags: TagCollection
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>And it allow us to centralise the scope system in the core, ensuring that no
|
|
actor will have access to notes or other objects that shouldn't be able to see.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Finally, with this, a plugin such as <a href="https://code.undefinedhackers.net/GNUsocial/gnu-social/src/branch/v3/plugins/NoteTypeFeedFilter">Note Type Feed Filter</a> can be useful in
|
|
every note collection (feed).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It also allows plugins such as ActivityPub to <a href="https://code.undefinedhackers.net/GNUsocial/gnu-social/src/branch/v3/plugins/ActivityPub/Util/OrderedCollectionController.php">translate every collection
|
|
automatically</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>We also introduced the <a href="https://code.undefinedhackers.net/GNUsocial/gnu-social/src/branch/v3/components/Circle">Circle component</a>, which has a UI similar to the
|
|
<a href="https://www.gnusocial.rocks/v3/milestone-albums.html">Attachments Collections</a>,
|
|
and enables circle mentions with <code>@#circle_name</code>.</p>

Updates: Local Groups
|
|
</title><description><![CDATA[
|
|
|
|
<p><img src="assets/groups/profile.png" alt="" title="" /></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>We haven't implemented federation of Groups yet, but group tags and <a href="https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/decentralised-group/2200/17?u=diogo">discussion
|
|
on how unbounded groups can be federated via ActivityPub</a> has already started.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Concerning federation of traditional groups, we will port our logic from v2 and
|
|
translate following the same rules as AndStatus <a href="https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/248#issuecomment-558703558">because they work</a>, as yvolk beautifully stated :)</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Finally, also note that the group actors now have "self-tags", as the other actors, which was a milestone.</p>

Milestone: Pinned Notes
|
|
</title><description><![CDATA[
|
|
You can now pin notes in your profile! Given you have suficient permissions to do so (e.g. you created the note), an additional action is represented, allowing you to highlight your favourite notes.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>With this feature, an actor has more ways to express itself to the community as a whole. This activity is federated using <a href="https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/activitypub/#featured">Mastodon's featured collection extension</a>.</p>
