[03:35:11]<skipper_is[m]>The big clean up?
[04:54:45]* JustTB has joined #farmos
[06:07:58]* JustTB has quit (Quit: Leaving.)
[06:33:25]* JustTB has joined #farmos
[06:55:47]<skipper_is[m]>Anyone tried FarmOS on an ipad? I've got an ipad 2, and my map isn't loading, just a big white space where it should be
[06:57:31]* prnt[m] has left #farmos ("User left")
[07:21:54]<mstenta[m]>skipper_is: farmOS or Field Kit?
[07:23:39]<skipper_is[m]>farmOS
[07:25:03]<skipper_is[m]>*iOS
[08:02:35]<mstenta[m]>Hmm, what about https://farmos.github.io/farmOS-map? Does that work?
[08:02:40]<mstenta[m]>(That is just a demo of the map standalone)
[16:01:43]<mstenta[m]>Good question came up in the forum about translating farmOS.org
[16:02:07]<mstenta[m]>https://farmos.discourse.group/t/farmos-translation-i18n/91/8
[16:02:53]<mstenta[m]>We haven't really talked about that in the context of the new Gatsby site @jgaehring:matrix.org
[16:03:12]<mstenta[m]>I wonder what options are available
[16:03:18]<mstenta[m]>I know how to do it with Drupal :-)
[16:05:06]<mstenta[m]>I wonder if it would be worth considering setting up a drupal site for managing the content which we either connect to via Gatsby or we simply export markdown from it
[16:05:17]<mstenta[m]>Or something
[16:05:33]<mstenta[m]>Thinking just for the user guide perhaps
[16:10:30]<jgaehring[m]>hm, not sure I understand the advantage of having a Drupal site for hosting markdown
[16:11:02]<mstenta[m]>not for hosting markdown, just for managing translated versions... maybe overkill - i just know drupal has a really nice system for managing translated content
[16:11:21]<mstenta[m]>and perhaps with something like Tome could be exported to markdown
[16:11:24]<mstenta[m]>https://www.drupal.org/project/tome
[16:11:52]<mstenta[m]>but i don't know what exists in gatsby land - maybe there are good options for managing translated content there>
[16:12:21]<jgaehring[m]>I feel like we're muddling a lot of issues here
[16:13:49]<mstenta[m]>yes just thinking out loud :-)
[16:14:20]<jgaehring[m]>Gatsby is capable of using any variety of content sources, markdown, Wordpress, Drupal, all possible
[16:14:39]<mstenta[m]>yea!
[16:14:44]<mstenta[m]>that's what made me think about it :-)
[16:14:44]<jgaehring[m]>I think how the content is stored is a separate issue from what Gatsby would do with it though
[16:14:52]<mstenta[m]>right
[16:14:55]<mstenta[m]>i'm with you
[16:16:07]<mstenta[m]>so the thought might be: if drupal provides a nicer system for managing the user guide pages, and translations of them, perhaps we have an admin-only drupal site for that, which we can give people access to for translating purposes - and then the gatsby site (farmOS.org) pulls content from there
[16:16:15]<mstenta[m]>keyword "if"... because maybe it's overkill too
[16:16:25]<mstenta[m]>again just blue-skying here :-)
[16:17:04]<mstenta[m]>that would basically mean user guide is no longer markdown... it's stored in a drupal DB, and then pulled in to gatsby.... maybe?
[16:18:07]<jgaehring[m]>ACTION sent a long message: < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/wXXpsUDiZBWvEYuP... >
[16:18:14]<mstenta[m]>or... maybe it's simpler to just have multiple MD files for each translation
[16:18:17]<mstenta[m]>right exactly
[16:19:08]<mstenta[m]>tbh drupal would be a last resort
[16:19:14]<mstenta[m]>and this is coming from a drupal dev ;-)
[16:20:16]<jgaehring[m]>I've told you about Netlify CMS before I believe: https://www.netlifycms.org/
[16:22:39]<jgaehring[m]>provides a nice GUI for the CMS admin part of a site, but without the need for a DB, so content is still stored in markdown and can still be edited that way if people like
[16:26:10]<jgaehring[m]>I'm having a hard time envisioning what kinds of translation services Drupal can provide though, besides the GUI
[16:26:59]<mstenta[m]>the GUI is what i have in mind
[16:27:08]<mstenta[m]>thinking about translator experience
[16:27:10]<mstenta[m]>TX? :-)
[16:27:48]<mstenta[m]>but cool! netlify cms seems neat
[16:27:52]<mstenta[m]>jsut exports markdown?
[16:27:53]<jgaehring[m]>haha, I think plain UX will suffice
[16:39:32]<jgaehring[m]>> jsut exports markdown?
[16:39:32]<jgaehring[m]>Yes, my understanding is that it's a React app that does the conversion in the browser and sends it via API to whatever git host you're using, whether that's GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket, etc
[16:41:14]<jgaehring[m]>so it's basically its own static site within a static site which is responsible for generating the content for the latter
[16:41:28]<jgaehring[m]>just using a git server for its backend
[16:42:52]<jgaehring[m]>looking at the repo now, it's an impressively modular project that allows for many different setups and project strutcures: https://github.com/netlify/netlify-cms/tree/master/packages
[16:43:44]<jgaehring[m]>looks like you can also use it with a proxy server to run it off a local git repo if you like: https://github.com/netlify/netlify-cms/tree/master/packages/netlify-cms-...
[17:00:01]<mstenta[m]>Yo dawg, I heard you like static sites... :-)
