06:05 < adiabat> Hey all, call now at meet.jit.si/utreexo
08:43 < kcalvinalvin> One goal in general: We should write stuff more
08:44 < kcalvinalvin> I feel like there's such a disconnect between us and everyone else on Utreexo because we don't talk about it as much as other projects
08:44 < kcalvinalvin> Like does anyone know we're doing this ttl thing
09:31 < dergoegge> I agree. What would be a good first thing to write about? Usecases? Caching? Proof sizes?
09:32 < dergoegge> Or were you thinking more of technicals docs specific to the go implementation?
09:34 < dergoegge> We could also ask people, what they would be interested in?
09:37 < ja> something even more important than the go implementation would be the data types involved in the network protocol ;)
09:38 < ja> i think it would be useful with a list of steps with links to code explaining how the forest is built on the server, and kept up to date, and what it contains
09:38 < ja> then it can be explained how the client synchronizes state
09:39 < ja> when the client synchronizes, that walkthrough can refer to concepts introduced when the building of the forest was explained
10:14 < adiabat> utreexo mailing list..?
10:14 < adiabat> maybe not, but.. hmm, message board or something...
10:15 < adiabat> or just write explanation / docs in github
10:18 < ja> adiabat: there are now 'discussions' on github, did you see?
10:19 < ja> but i think in-tree docs are also fine, especially since it allows people to easily submit inline comments
10:24 < kcalvinalvin> github gists?
10:29 < ja> kcalvinalvin: i don't see the point of that because it wouldn't be clear if they are supposed to be updated or not, and they are separate trees, but why? would be a mess to clone everything
10:30 < ja> discussions covered here https://github.blog/2020-05-06-new-from-satellite-2020-github-codespaces-github-discussions-securing-code-in-private-repositories-and-more/#discussions
11:37 < adiabat> Hmm the discussions thing isn't here yet though
11:37 < adiabat> "Available in beta for public repositories soon"
12:15 < ja> adiabat: but the post is from may, i think you may have to enable it manually like described here: https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/administering-a-repository/enabling-or-disabling-github-discussions-for-a-repository#enabling-or-disabling-discussions-for-your-repository
12:16 < ja> "People with admin permissions to a repository can enable discussions for the repository"
12:58 < adiabat> hmm will try it
13:00 < adiabat> ok... wonder if there is an export ability for these things...
13:05 < ja> i don't think one can rely on that, but there good alternate OSS 'forges' now like Gitlab or Sourcehut...
13:05 < ja> i see the discussions are enabled now, I will try to think of some good questions
13:07 < ja> i could repost my previous questions and simply post links to the irc logs with your answers, is that a good idea?
13:45 < adiabat> Yeah we can try using it for questions that are longer lasting I guess
13:46 < adiabat> seems simlar to issues but I guess issued are for problems or bugs, and once the bug is fixed we get rid of the issue
13:48 < adiabat> So questions about how it works or how it should work can be in the discussions tab
14:03 < ja> yes, that is my understanding as well. kinda of like a more specific/technical bitcoin.stackexchange
14:06 < ja> except it can contain actual discussion which stackexchange discourages
15:21 -!- valwal_ [sid334773@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-xpdkkmqnrtcjkded] has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
17:29 < adiabat> yeah let's try it.  I can write a bit about IBD size reductions.  Also a good place for questions about how it works / what to do
20:31 < kcalvinalvin> I made a new discussion
20:32 < kcalvinalvin> Plenty of things to talk about heh
