#inventaireio: you might notice a few changes in the bibliographic data (aka "entities") editor: the #Svelte rewrite just got published!

So far, it's mostly tiny details that changed, but those new foundations should make maintenance and future developments easier.

Most notably: special actions (moving an entity to #Wikidata, merging, etc) have been regrouped in a dropdown menu (that cog button on the top right).

Let us know if you encounter any bug or if something behaves unexpectedly!

@fabyk @w4tsn not to our knowledge: Inventaire isn't ready for decentralization yet, see this issues https://github.com/inventaire/inventaire/issues/187 https://github.com/inventaire/inventaire/issues/481

tl;dr: the main obstacle to decentralization is the bibliographic database, which should, in our opinion, remain centralized (just like Wikidata, which it extends, is). It's then a matter of decoupling the bibliographic db from the rest of the app: inventories could totally be decentralized

@liwott @feditips @bookwyrm
The current inventaire code is quite strongly coupled with the books use-case. The claim that we are just "starting with books" was first made in 2015, when we were young and naive ;) It is still of interest to explore other types of resources, but we can't promise anything at the moment.

@liwott @feditips @bookwyrm ah yes, sorry, I too easily assume that everybody on mastodon is a developer 😅

As bookwyrm fetches biblio data from different sources such as openlibrary and inventaire, it probably makes more sense to fetch data directly from those sources (which we are already doing in some cases for openlibrary) rather than fetching from bookwyrm instances themselves, but we haven't really looked into it.

@liwott @feditips @bookwyrm different kinds of interoperability are possible:
- bookwyrm already pulls bibliographic data from inventaire
- there could be user data importers/exporters in both directions, see https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/issues/1698
- we could also imagine showing activitypub activities: that would require work mostly on inventaire's side to figure out how that could work with what bookwyrm is already doing

@Voka good question ^^ You can hopefully find some elements of answer here https://inventaire.io/welcome and, formulated somewhat differently, here https://data.inventaire.io but yes, maybe the wiki homepage should also say something about it, thanks for the feedback

@xalofar En attendant, la prochaine fois que ce cas se passe, pourrais-tu nous prévenir avant de créer toutes les fiches manquantes, en en gardant au moins une de coté ? Cela nous permettrait d'essayer de voir plus facilement ce qui bloque dans l'import des données BNF

@xalofar en regardant les logs du serveur... et bah c'est pas bien plus clair >< La bonne nouvelle c'est qu'on travail à une réécriture de l'importeur qui devrait permettre de mieux prendre en compte les données disponibles dans d'autres bases de données, ce qui évidemment résoudra tous les problèmes 😇 (Pour suivre la progression de cette réécriture, c'est ici https://github.com/inventaire/inventaire-client/pull/312)

@egonw you first need to activate fediverse integration in your account settings https://inventaire.io/settings/account then your account should be available on the fediverse as @egonw@inventaire.io

@egonw we did start to experiment with the #fediverse :) see https://mamot.fr/@inventaire/107405333892235843
