Fandom gets closer to the metal - issue 5: Pesky Plume and milestones

[hit_the_books]

This week: Getting a handle on Plume and milestones...

Plume
What's Plume? Plume is a decentralized blogging platform. This week impertinence has been having a big go at getting an instance of Plume set up. It hasn't gone smoothly, but like with a lot of things that the volunteers involved with this endeavor know: it's all a learning experience. impertinence isn't giving up (side eye may have been thrown at rust). If you have any experience with Plume and want to chat about it, head to the distributed_fandom Discord and the #Plume and #coding-salt channels.

Milestones
demitas has reorganized the Milestones section on Fanzilla. This shows the baseline for what needs to be completed before we can start spreading the word about moving your fandom experience to Hubzilla. We're talking Minimum Viable Product (MVP). Currently listed are 14 issues that need to be worked on, 13 ar unstarted or unassigned.

Bonus: Getting the look
There's still an ongoing discussion happening about what the branding/logo for all of this could be. Head to the #ui-art channel on the Discord to see designs and add your thoughts.

Don't forget...
To check out fandom-after on Tumblr and see what Wings has been posting.

Got something you want mentioned in these updates?
Head to #announcements-roundup channel on the distributed_fandom Discord and post about it before the end of Saturday each week. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this issue.

Thanks for the great update on all the work being done! While I do not have the coding knowledge to feel like I can help with this, I have been following all the progress regarding federated fandoms and am excited about how this could work.

joined the discord to stay up to date and cheer everyone on!

Thanks for the encouragement C:

Yeah, I know a bit on the tech side, but I'll definitely be trying things out once we have some more documentation going.
