Thanks Henry

We've also put together a wiki page containting all these links, one to the
W3 wiki, one to bergi's new spec proposal, your friending paper and the
original pingback protocol.

http://www.w3.org/community/rww/wiki/Pingback

It would be great if you had a chance to review.

Perhaps more importantly.

Maybe it's possible can add a matrix or RWW systems that support pingback
and how results for interoperability tests.

The ones I know of so far:

Openlink Data Space
My Profile
Resource Me

In progress

data.fm
others?

One thing that I thought if that may be nice is the following.  If Alice
sends a ping to Bob, perhaps Bob could receive an email to his foaf : mbox
saying

"You have received one new message -- please click the following link to
check your inbox"

... of something similar?
