Hi, everyone. So, one thing I've always liked about the Open Source Initiative is that it included on its main pages a case for Open Source software for various audiences -- end users, developers, and businesses. I'm not sure what happened to all the cases, but at least the case for business is still there: http://www.opensource.org/advocacy/case_for_business.php I wonder: could we put together a case for the federation model for different constituencies? I've started three pages on the wiki to collect arguments for each group: http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/federatedsocialweb/wiki/Case_for_individuals http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/federatedsocialweb/wiki/Case_for_business http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/federatedsocialweb/wiki/Case_for_developers It'd be great to start pulling together our various reasons for supporting federation into documents targeted at these audiences. Also: is there another audience we should be targeting? Government? -Evan
