Participants:
Agenda:
- IPNS Docs
- Redirects
- Integration story?
3.1 Lite client for IPFS - IPFS Event
Notes:
IPNS Docs
- This is an area that @danieln will be focusing on week of 2022-08-22.
- What does it mean to be using DHT, PubSub
- High level stuff has been in launchpad PR: Mar ipns curriculum by mrodriguez3313 · Pull Request #188 · protocol/launchpad · GitHub
- Plan is to copy and expand to docs.ipfs.tech
- Discussion around *.storage’s naming solution (w3name). Our docs should cover the kind of details that w3name is glossing over. We don’t want to hide over the security details/implications.
Meta: launchpad docs.
- Sometimes what is copied is going to be out of date. Ideally should be linked to canonical source and remove from launchpad docs.
Redirects
- Lidel: I would add ongoing bikeshed about _redirects: IPIP: Gateway _redirects File by justincjohnson · Pull Request #290 · ipfs/specs · GitHub (link Web Gateway support for _redirects file - already public)
- There is concern about how this translates to native implementations (e.g., Brave Mobile and how it won’t use Kubo)
- Will let marinate while Lidel is out
- Positive here is that we have real users and usecases on this
Integrations
- Needing more input on languages, hardware, sandboxing of network requests
- Want a doc that says “this is what the Chrome peopleare willing to tolerate, this is what the curl people are willing to tolerate”
- ONe thing have learned: there won’t be one language or implementation that will rule them all. There isn’t a world of write in C and use everywhere
- Have success when folks in Ecosystem go and talk with the communities, ask what they want, etc. Wanting to understand their workflows, if there are internal champions, how they do testing, etc. This is a slow very-attentive approach.
- Usecase: Gateway range request. Input: car, path, and range request and returns bytes.
- It may be useful for Mark to report back on who he’s spoken with, what he’s hearing, etc.
- UnixFS
- EngRes focus on specs
- Outercore understands the needs and the mechanisms for working with parties
- We then meet as an IPFS community on how to get this delivered.
