Hey @w3c & W3C-friends, the tr.rdf from tr-automation is only the most recent publications.
Is there a tr.rdf for all TR publications ever?—@ndw
@ndw I'm both 1/ interested in the answer, and 2/curious about what you have in mind...
:-) @w3c—@fgeorges
@ndw Why not use the API instead? It has everything.—@robinberjon
@robinberjon Which API is that?—@ndw
@ndw I'm mobile, poor connection, but you can find a "w3capi" module in W3C's github,
it has details.—@robinberjon
@ndw results limit 1000 per page & there are >1000 specs ∴ to get all，must use「items」&「page」params
https://t.co/qlrHO5UVca etc @robinberjon—@sideshowbarker
@ndw for questions https://t.co/EYTUWrgDBs #webapi is where to find @w3c systeam devs who maintain the API, including @tripu ㏄ @robinberjon—@sideshowbarker
@sideshowbarker @w3c @tripu @robinberjon Thanks. Lots of specs seem to have no editors in the API results so that's a shame.—@ndw
@ndw I think editor info is only available per dated version, so you may have to do e.g.
https://t.co/4pabBMlbqj @w3c @tripu @robinberjon—@sideshowbarker
@sideshowbarker @w3c @tripu @robinberjon Yes, what I'm saying is that it's missing for many of the dated versions.—@ndw
@ndw ah OK, dunno why. But I’d think that’s a bug, so probably worth filing an issue at

Why I've been waffling on about W3C spec metadata: https://t.co/EHcCJPEBY6 tl;dr: 101.—@ndw
@marcosc @ndw Yes, had I known what you were after I'd have suggested that :-) Less data overall
and not just W3C but easier to use.—@robinberjon
@marcosc @ndw Also, I made a nice client library for you to use, you didn't have to use Python
:-*—@robinberjon

Trump still hasn't found how far he has to go to make the GOP reject him. Guessing
he is as amazed as the rest of us https://t.co/Ql12BSFM8D—@webmink

Where do I sign up for the armies of liberation that will free us from capitalist
right wing oppression?—@ThatSabineGirl

@jirkakosek Ah. Was this Gerrit's interoperability talk? In that case I approve wholeheartedly.—@ndw
@ndw Achim (@xml_project) asked me to clarify that ‘eliminating cx:depends-on="ndw"’ was a joke made by me,
not him. @jirkakosek—@gimsieke
@ndw I might add that ‘eliminating cx:depends-on="ndw"’ does not equate ‘eliminating @ndw and/or @xmlcalabash’ /cc @xml_project @jirkakosek—@gimsieke
@ndw Yes. It was talk about porting his XProc pipeline to different XProc engine and how
to make pipeline to work in both implementations.—@jirkakosek
@jirkakosek I see. Ah, well.—@ndw
