Aha! This site runs #GNUSocial and I see hierarchical conversations in action again \o/ https://gs.jonkman.ca/conversation/163984#notice-353148

I have a #English - #Sinhala #glossary of technical terms for humanities (mostly art, theatre, philosophy and literature) compiled using LibreOffice spreadsheets. What is the best way to publish them online as a searchable website? Is there a particular CMS you would recommend?

@mcscx2 idiots! They should have left the group's archive online. It's decades of discussions!

Woke up to read an email about an art group that operated since 1999 as a Yahoo group is closing down and they will resume as a Facebook group. I liked reading their email even though I rarely contributed. Discussing art on Facebook? No thanks!

@mcscx @cypnk @bob me too. I've been using them since childhood. Getting used to ballpoint pen is difficult for me now...

A happy day. For the first time EVER I heard from a client that I should send everything in .odt format. He further stressed, 'send everything in Libre Office! Libre, Libre... you know, that's easier'. And then he emailed me an #odt file. \o/ #FreeSoftware #FreeFormats #foss #opendocument

Cannot say I am happy with what I see on WordPress.com, Flickr and several other places I used to post images, art and other bits and pieces. They have evolved into "social networks" I want blogs back!
