15:11 dotplus pdurbin: I don't think that this is really in the area of openknot. Openknot is about allowing user-preferred messaging protocols. While there could be an analogue that allows user-preferred authn/authz, this isn't it. at least not yet. and given how little progress we've made on what *is* in scope, we're not in any position to expand the scope
15:12 raucao hey, would anyone mind if we log this channel to a #kosmos #remotestorage account?
15:12 raucao it would enable us to offer offline logs to kosmos users
15:18 dotplus I don't see why not. It's already logged to http://irclog.greptilian.com/openknot
15:19 dotplus you'd just be providing Linus-style backups:)
15:20 raucao :)
15:20 raucao ok, cool

15:35 pdurbin yep, extra logging is nice. prologic even runs two of his own loggers in #circuits :)
15:35 pdurbin gregkare: hi!
15:37 pdurbin dotplus: but! you said I'd be able to use my preferred agent and paradigm! ;) https://github.com/openknot/openknot/blob/master/README.md
15:40 gregkare Hey :)
15:42 sivoais joined #openknot
15:42 pdurbin here's where the extra logging goes: http://waves.kosmos.org/logs/freenode/openknot/today
15:46 dotplus pdurbin: yes, but one step at a time, eh?
15:48 dotplus I'm not saying that your suggestion is not desirable, it is. Nor am I saying that it's off-topic or inappropriate for openknot. I'm just sayig let's avoid scope creep until we actually have something to expand:)
15:48 pdurbin yeah. I agree. you're good to point out that I'm really talking about auth
15:49 pdurbin I guess I'm thinking back to when StackOverflow was launched in 2008 and Jeff Atwood was all like "why would we make people create a one off account?" He was right.
15:52 sivoais joined #openknot
15:55 dotplus sorta. But the other side of  the argument has weight too: "We (that is, any serious service provider) should not rely upon mytwitface+in to provide authn services because their goals are not aligned with ours. Since it might be convenient for (some) users to use their mytwitface+in creds, perhaps it might be nice to support these authn services as an *additional* option, we must also provide our own".
15:55 pdurbin dotplus: I knew you'd be willing to talk about auth. :)
15:56 pdurbin it's fundamental to any communications platform
16:02 dotplus yes, but in practice we can decide the issue (if not complete the work) with "we'll use authn that is abstracted/modular enough that our mvp has simple, self-provided auth as the first of a list of authn providers which can easily be extended to support others as people care to do so.
16:02 sivoais joined #openknot
16:04 pdurbin sure. that sounds great
16:07 prologic pdurbin: haha
16:08 prologic yeah that bot and it's code has proven to be rather stable :)
16:08 prologic but yeah I do
16:08 prologic kdb and irclogger
16:08 prologic both capable of logging
16:08 prologic kdb just has way more plugins
16:11 pdurbin prologic: do they both write to the same place?
16:12 sivoais joined #openknot
16:22 sivoais joined #openknot
16:32 sivoais joined #openknot
16:42 sivoais joined #openknot
16:51 prologic they actually kind of do - yes
16:52 prologic well I mean they are both just as configurable
16:52 prologic teh same code that irclogger uses
16:52 prologic just got wrapped up into a plugin that kdb now incorporates
16:52 prologic The nicer thing though is that kdb has a builtin web interface so you can view the logs pretty much striahg tup
16:52 sivoais joined #openknot
16:56 pdurbin prologic: they write to the filesystem right? (rather than a database) They don't clobber each others' files?
16:56 prologic oh
16:56 prologic I understand now
16:56 prologic haha
16:56 prologic no; both of those bots are running independently
16:56 prologic it *is* possible to have distirbuted logging setup
16:56 prologic but that would be distributed on the circuits event'ing side
16:57 sivoais joined #openknot
16:57 prologic i;e: connect two or more bots to different parts of the network; single process; *and* whichever event wins; writes to the log files
16:58 pdurbin prologic: so currently they write to different files. ok
17:55 prologic well they're running on different servers :)
17:55 prologic I think
18:27 pdurbin :)
