Schema draft changelog

[Laurent-Walter Goix]

i've noticed that an update on the current schema draft ws produced
yesterday [1] but couldn't find any diff to identify the changes.
Could we find a way to track changes, either on this thread, or within
the document itself or else?

also i noticed that the list of external vocabularies has been
extended over iterations. i would suggest to move this away from the
schema spec (besides the introduction in section 6) as i expect this
to be more dynamic over time. probably a separate section/document on
the AS website could do the job starting a "registry" of such
extensions as they grow/evolve (similar to the iana ones)

thanks
walter

The git history of the source document is public:
https://github.com/activitystreams/activity-schema/commits/master/

Does that give you the information you need, or were you looking for a
higher-level changelog?

[Monica Wilkinson]

Walter does this history log of the recent commits help ?

https://github.com/activitystreams/activity-schema/commits/master/

Note there is an RSS feed link on that page.

I also need to catch up with some of the new changes. I encourage good commit messages :)

Also squash commits if there are many part of one request so others can more easily review.

Typically I also encourage pull requests for everything but James is the most affected by this and may not have time to wait to see if anyone opposes the commit....

What? I'm supposed to be playing well with others!? Damn you people are demanding ;-) I'll try to break up the checkins to make them easier to review.

A registry would be good. I've added these to the schema doc for now because there's not really another great place to put them. Perhaps it's about time to reorganize the activity streams website to make it more useful in general?

 

thanks

A while back we built out a registry section of the website that is
intended to aggregate together the vocabularies defined by different
specifications:

http://activitystrea.ms/registry/

It's driven by the YAML files in the following git repo, with one file
per specification:

https://github.com/activitystreams/registry

I'm not sure if it still auto-updates when you commit there, but the
tools that generate it are here:

I'd somehow managed to forget all about the existing registry set up :-)
