        Wide Review

Webmention was first developed in the IndieWebCamp community. Its page 
there <https://indiewebcamp.com/Webmention> lists independent 
implementations, reported 
<https://indiewebcamp.com/wiki/index.php?title=Webmention&limit=500&action=history> 
by the implementors. These implementations act as implicit reviews, and 
still largely apply since the changes have been to clarify edge cases 
and are intended to be entirely backward compatible.

Since coming to W3C, 30 issues on github 
<https://github.com/aaronpk/webmention/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed> 
have been opened (by ten different people, not counting the editor) and 
addressed, all closed by 2016-04-15.

        Formal Objections

None.


        Implementation

The twenty-seven (!!) earlier indiewebcamp implementations 
<https://indiewebcamp.com/Webmention#Implementations> stand largely in 
support of the current spec, and have been tested in an ad hoc manner 
with each other. Now that the spec is more formal, has a test suite (and 
minor additions), we are gathering new implementation reports with test 
results <http://webmention.net/implementation-reports/>.
