[jbenet]

hey @diasdavid -- very little of the stuff above is actually required for getting a js-ipfs node running. things like editing the SF meetup videos, renaming, the meetup.com things -- it's all very useful stuff, but really side quests from the main goals -- should only really devote a small percentage of time to that stuff compared to the main prios.

[jbenet]

SPRINT UPDATE

This week sprint update goes by endeavours (helps keep things organised).

• libp2p
  • Decide in which papers + surveys should be written for libp2p with Juan
  • [~] Speed Jeromy up on libp2p - I didn't have the opportunity to formally do it, but @whyrusleeping went through the newly merged specs for libp2p and liked it, so I consider that there was indeed some knowledge transfer
  • [~] Get webrtc-explorer as one of the transports - I worked on this and got it on its path (even received some really nice emails and tweets of people excited about its development), however, the fact that node-webrtc is broken in Node.js 4.0.0 and above is blocking me a bit (also consuming my time to figure it out)
  • add a libp2p hangout to Mondays Update the meeting times #42 - Yes, today we will have a libp2p hangout!
• npm's registry on IPFS - got a bit slowed down by the IPFS release and js-ipfs-api update stravaganza, didn't manage to finish the thing.
  • download the entire npm
  • install modules via IPFS using reginabox+registry-static
  • get files on js-ipfs-api working again (after all the release madness) Update to be compatible with IPFS 0.4.0 ipfs-inactive/js-ipfs-http-client#74
• js-ipfs-api
  • Finish 0.3.7 Node.js tests on solid-tests branch
  • Get some solid-tests on this module (finally)
  • Upgrade node-ipfs-api to be compatible with the new 0.3.9 (@jbenet started it)
  • 'callbacks vs promises' path with @dignifiedquire
  • fix regression .cat is not returning a stream anymore ipfs-inactive/js-ipfs-http-client#99
• js-ipfs - this is a new endeavour that will take the approach of starting ipfs.js from the top (exposing the desired API by using js-ipfs-api and then replacing its internals till it is a complete node. A great part of this is ensuring that every module runs well in the browser
  • Browser tests multiformats/js-multihash#4
  • Webcrypto multiformats/js-multihashing#4
  • https://github.com/diasdavid/webcrypto -> this is going to be really cool! join today's IPFS meeting for news
• extra
  • CR and merge PR 'here and there'
  • [0] Edit SF meetup recordings - Unfortunately, it is impossible to see the screen and since everything is demos... Really disappointed with the quality, I'm going to start bringing my whole backpack for these events, including my video capture box.
  • rename javascript projects to js-name instead of node-name. Write an issue explaining the motivation and link all the projects to that issue. We are renaming the prefix of our JavaScript modules from 'node-' to 'js-' js-ipfs#32
  • community
    • sync with meetup.com and learn about their plans and pro features (we had a quick discuss and decided not to go the meetup.com pro route)
    • schedule Lisbon IPFS meetup http://www.meetup.com/ipfs-lisbon-meetup/events/226457561/
      (San Francisco IPFS community#53 (comment))

[RichardLitt]

• [~] Go-IPFS HTTP API Documentation. I worked on this, started manually going through and filling out answers according to the Swagger schema. I would like to automatically generate them from the ipfs docs, but I'm not sure that the API would be the same - my strategy right now is to go through and test curling each different command. It'll take a while.
• Worked on contributing docs across repositories.
• Made security documentation a bit tighter.
• Finally grokked IPNS
• Worked on IPFS-textbook by making a glossary.
• Double checked and cleaned up project-directory.md

[ion1]

• [~] Contributed a small part to cache ipns entries to speed things up a little kubo#1887 “cache ipns entries to speed things up a little”
• [~] Posted Gateway: Add Cache-Control/max-age and ETag to IPNS requests kubo#1921 “Gateway: Add Cache-Control/max-age and ETag to IPNS requests”. It works, but needs to be rebased onto master after 1887 is merged. Needs a CR.

Notes from IRC

• @cryptix pick @diasdavid brain on ipscend
• @diasdavid learn about metalsmith and see how it stacks up to Harp for Handling multiple paths for the same content ipfs-inactive/starlog#31
• re: ipfs update, one of the things we are getting with ronin for our Node.js cli, is auto warning for update (like nice things like zsh do), it would be sweet to have something like that on ipfs call

also

17:53 @jbenet we should probably have the website 302 to the right version number so that the downloaded binary tarball carries the version number.
17:53 @jbenet (instead of "release" or whatever)
