R: OStatus & SNEW (was R: Federation protocols)

Thanks evan, that’s promising.
SNEW actually relies on openSocial (rest/json flavor) for the client api: opensocial leverages AS for activities and poco for user profile representation, and oauth2 for authorization (pump.io seems to reference oauth1, do you plan to update also for opened connect support?)

Could you point me to the specific part of pump.io that addresses specifically federation and what are the changes wrt ostatus?

The pump.io API implements most of the interesting parts of OStatus, and leaves off the parts that don't work.

https://github.com/e14n/pump.io/blob/master/API.md


It also has:

 *   A compatible client API
 *   Straightforward privacy controls
 *   JSON
I think of it as an evolution of OStatus; I think it's probably the best next step.

This group made a big bet on OStatus about 2-3 years ago, and arguably

it has not exceeded expectations.



True, but:

 - it gained some traction;

 - it has important flaws (privacy-wise) that have been opointed out.



Let's fix it. Let's choose a protocol that does not have these flaws and put

our weight behind it.



i actually would be happy to work with some volunteers to tackle these flaws from OStatus and improve the current SNEW spec from OMA that relies on it for the federation part. We'd also would be interested in some project implementing the spec to do some interop testing (we do have some prototypes already).



You can find the latest updated draft at [1] (see section 7.3 for ostatus-specific reference)



Cheers
