This week (no pun intended), the IndieWeb community’s “This Week in the IndieWeb” turned 6!

First published on 2014-05-12, the newsletter started as a fully-automatically generated weekly summary of activity on the IndieWeb’s community wiki: a list of edited and new pages, followed by the full content of the new pages, and then the recent edit histories of pages changed that week.

Since then the Newsletter has grown to include photos from recent events, the list of upcoming events, recent posts about the IndieWeb syndicated to the IndieNews aggregator, new community members (and their User pages), and a greatly simplified design of new & changed pages.

You can subscribe to the newsletter via email, RSS, or h-feed in your favorite Reader.

This week we also celebrated:

• 6 years of WithKnown
• 5 years of IndieWebCamps in Düsseldorf

See the Timeline page for more significant events in IndieWeb community history.

Meetable events allow uploading images, both a banner for the event itself, and photos of the event afterwards. There should be a setup feature to explicitly pick and set one or more required licenses for image uploads.

At a minimum, Meetable should allow choosing a Creative Commons license like Flickr does (radio buttons), perhaps defaulting to a CC-BY-NC license like the Wikimedia upload default, to encourage compatibility with the broader Wikimedia commons, so images uploaded to default Meetable installations can also be published to Wikimedia, and to allow Wikimedia images to be used for Meetable event banners.

Maybe allow multi-licensing as well, e.g. picking more than one license (checkboxes), so uploads are required to be multi-licensed.

Additionally, consider allowing a user to enter one or more license URLs, so those setting up their own Meetable can choose other licenses beyond a predefined set of Creative Commons licenses.
