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

let me try to give my input. imho topics we could write about would 
include:

1) "why federate?" - imho the document should start with that, explain 
what the problem is, i think something along the lines of 
http://eschnou.com/entry/whats-next-google--dropping-smtp-support--62-24930.html 
- the platform vs. federation argument.

2) "communication" i think we should say that there are currently 
multiple (not one "best") federated protocols for social communication 
on the web. i think we should list the best ones.

3) "identity" web linking should probably be explained a bit in the 
document - the multiple existing machine-readable ways to "be on the 
web" with static profile information (again, i would refrain from trying 
to identify one best one, just mention the three or four major schemes). 
i think the third-person identity (your public personal profile 
information, about you) is most important, and login identity for sso 
can be a subtopic of this.

4) "feeds" - mention the three or four major proposals for dealing with 
updates and notifications. Commenting is always a complicated topic, 
maybe it can be a subtopic of this.

my 2ct,
Michiel
