> Last month, we decided to try writing a spec for some credibility
> signals. What observations can be made (perhaps by machine) which are
> likely to indicate whether you can trust something online? In the
> past, we’ve listed well over a hundred, but that turned out to be not
> very useful. With so many signals, we weren’t able to say much about
> each one, and it wasn’t clear to readers where to focus their
> attention. (See https://credweb.org/signals for some drafts.)
>
> This time, we decided to focus on a small handful, so we could say
> something useful about each one and only include ones we actually
> expect to be useful. Personally, I was able to think of about 15 where
> I have some real confidence.
>
> Today, based on discussion at five of our weekly meetings, we’ve
> released a draft with five signals, three of which are variations on a
> theme. This is intended as a starting point, and we’re very interested
> in feedback. What signals do you think are most promising? Are you
> involved in building products or services that could produce or use
> this kind of information? Is the format and style of this document
> useful? The draft includes some ways to contact us, but perhaps the
> best way is to join the group <https://credweb.org/joining> and
> introduce yourself.
