RE: Reviewing Social Web Specs

Sandro,
Yes, you should not wait a review.
The scenario where you use the questionnaire and come back to us for advice is the most reasonable and realistic one, provided our limited resources.
Regards,
Virginie

Hi Virginie, thanks for the link to the questionnaire.   We'll take a look.

Can you help me understand how we should move forward, given, as you say, "low activity"?   Does that mean we shouldn't wait for a review?

Perhaps our best option is to use the questionnaire and come to you for advice if any specific issues arise, but otherwise proceed?

Thanks

Sandro,
The web security IG wish to be able to perform the security review, but we have a low activity at the moment.
Note that there is a security and privacy questionnaire that may help you to raise appropriate questions and include warning about sensitive assets in your specification.
The questionnaire is located here : https://w3ctag.github.io/security-questionnaire/

Regards,
Virginie

Subject: Reviewing Social Web Specs

I'm writing on behalf of the Social Web WG.  Some of our specs are now stable, and if we would value a review from your group at your earliest convenience.  While our primary use cases are often framed in terms of social media and blogging, the technologies may be broadly applicable.

So far we have three specs in or near CR:
* Webmention lets you tell a website you're linking to it.  This supports ad hoc federation of sites

https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/


* Activity Streams (2.0) is a standard (and extensible) way to share a stream of what people do online (eg, "liking", posting a photo, etc)

https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-core/

https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/


* Micropub provides a standard Web API to create and control posts on your own website

https://www.w3.org/TR/micropub/


Additionally:
* Social Web Protocols: provides an overview, including an explanation for how the parts fit (and sometimes do not fit) together.  This document does not currently have any normative content.

https://www.w3.org/TR/social-web-protocols/


There are other documents not yet ready for horizontal review.  You'll see them linked from Social Web Protocols, and we'll send another email when they're in or near CR.

Note that the group is producing multiple stacks which are not entirely compatible, reflecting the fragmentation in this space. Basically, we decided having multiple competing specs, while not an ideal situation, would still be a step forward.

If you think your group will be doing a review, please reply-all and let us know your timeframe.  We'd very much appreciate the actual review comments being raised as issues on the repo for each particular spec (linked in the title section), and then a high-level email or summary issue stating when the review is complete.

Please feel free to share this call-for-review with anyone likely to be interested.

Thank you!
