Milestone reached for PaySwarm

Hey all,

Just a quick update that the Linked Data in JSON Community Group hit a
milestone today with the request to move JSON-LD to an official
standards track at the W3C:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-wg/2012May/0480.html

This is a big deal because the PaySwarm work depends on a solid JSON-LD
specification, and with the request above, we're making a very strong
statement that JSON-LD is ready for very broad developer feedback.

If we're successful with the push for standardization, it would make
JSON-LD the very first specification to make it through the new W3C
Community Group process.

We don't have an idea on the time frame to an official standard right
now, but would expect at least 6 months of review (at a minimum).
Technically, we already have the minimum requirements necessary to make
it through the W3C process... but we're making sure that we have
everything lined up to make the standardization process as smooth as
possible.
