• @edsilv's guide to creating a static 'IIIF level 0' (no dynamic image serving) manifest for IPFS

Goal: automate the process of getting IIIF manifests and assets into IPFS

Cool goal! @davidar also archive.org is trying to make a shim to enable any archive.org item to be accessed/served over IPFS. Perhaps this can be done in a way which gives us the IIIF use case for free as well. I'll talk to @edsilv and @aeschylus about this tomorrow

Using TMS would require a shim - if it's a IIIF tile source, the URIs of tiles need to conform to /id/region/size/rotation/quality.format.

To keep the server as essentially a "dumb pipe" you'd want a client-side js shim of some kind, rather than a ruby or similar one. Otherwise, everyone pinning this content on their IPFS node would also have to wrap it in a special image server, which kind of defeats the object of IPFS :-)

Oh, wow! Just found this issue, didn't realize that there were conversations about IIIF before the work we did for this IIIF :)

So, what's next? :D.

@diasdavid Decentralised IIIF Collections? :-)
