I think we need some reference implementations for the discussed protocols
and reference projects (samples) for new explorers (like me) of federated
social web. I agree with you on the point that selecting best projects can
be controversial  but I think that will attract more people to this area of
study... Maybe selecting/discussing projects and reference implementations
of protocols will be a secondary step in improving the document.
