Re: Proposal to develop best practice document to focus work of W3C FSW Community Group

i think instead of creating a best practice document, we can just make 
sure the wiki is complete and up-to-date:

     http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/federatedsocialweb/wiki/Main_Page

how do you propose to measure the relative importance of competing 
protocols? shouldn't we leave that to the market to decide, instead of 
trying to apply a top-down decision on that? sure, i agree that the wiki 
should reflect how active each project/protocol is, we can try to give 
the reader a sense of

- how many developer are currently working on/with a certain protocol?
- how many software projects/independent code bases "speak" the 
protocol?
- does it pass SWAT0?
- how  many servers / active user accounts support it?

i would say let's just keep giving all protocols and projects in the 
ecosystem a fair chance to present themselves here, and exchange 
experiences. maybe a winner will emerge, maybe not. but choosing one 
through a mailinglist-vote sounds like a bad idea.
