04:45 🔗 nicolas17 hi, is there an IRC channel for the fileformats wiki?
04:55 🔗 krazedkat has quit IRC (Leaving)

05:35 🔗 mst__ has quit IRC (Quit: bye)
05:38 🔗 nicolas17 <nicolas17> apparently the file format wiki was opened back in 2012 or so, with some sort of "file format month" to get people to contribute
05:38 🔗 nicolas17 <nicolas17> maybe we need to somehow make noise towards another month like that
05:38 🔗 nicolas17 <greyfade> what they need is to document what the specific per-page goals are
05:39 🔗 nicolas17 <greyfade> because i can't tell if they want just a wikipedia-like thing with references to specs and shit or if they want specs on the page
05:39 🔗 nicolas17 <nicolas17> I don't know if at this point there is anyone left 'responsible' for the wiki who would make that decision
06:17 🔗 SketchCow :)
06:17 🔗 SketchCow What....
06:17 🔗 SketchCow I'm the guy responsible.
06:17 🔗 SketchCow Hi.
06:19 🔗 SketchCow Who are you people
06:31 🔗 nicolas17 just random people who were wondering about a repository of file format specs and found archiveteam's one
06:31 🔗 nicolas17 finally found the logs :P
06:31 🔗 nicolas17 "is there any website that acts as a sort of clearing-house for file format specs and protocol specs and the like?"
06:32 🔗 nicolas17 SketchCow: the wiki mentions #justsolve but there's "nobody" there
06:49 🔗 Asparagir has joined #archiveteam
06:50 🔗 maelstrom has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
06:58 🔗 xmc nicolas17: yeah that was a long time ago
06:58 🔗 xmc wiki still exists though, and gets some activity
06:58 🔗 nicolas17 today there was this
06:59 🔗 nicolas17 <Daeken> i'd rather just have this shit as markdown in a github repo, where people can send pull requests to contribute.
06:59 🔗 nicolas17 <Daeken> wikis are pretty awful for this kind of thing.
06:59 🔗 nicolas17 <greyfade> i could get behind that, despite my dissatisfaction with markdown
06:59 🔗 nicolas17 <nicolas17> I could get behind that, despite sounding like a https://xkcd.com/927/ solution to the "there are many file format databases but they are all crappy and incomplete" problem
07:00 🔗 xmc use the wiki, love the wiki
07:00 🔗 yipdw you're in luck https://github.com/philipashlock/mediawiki-to-markdown
07:06 🔗 nicolas17 has quit IRC (Quit: U+1F634)
07:08 🔗 yipdw oh, that's sleeping face emoji
07:08 🔗 yipdw I thought that was some really unnecessarily obtuse way of giving me the finger
07:18 🔗 xmc you can't be too obtuse, when it comes to being rude
07:22 🔗 Frogging yipdw: then it'd be U+1F595
07:22 🔗 Frogging :p
