Yes, please!

The GitHub model obviously works. Issues for discussions and when we
reach a conclusion (or at least some kind of consensus), someone can
be assigned to submit a pull request for the specification and
possibly examples, etc., implementing what’s been agreed upon.

I so want this to become a reality. I think it’s obvious that JSON-LD
is the current best standard for linked data and Hydra is the only
hypermedia control format built on JSON-LD that I know of. Combined,
that’s an unbeatable combination. In a finished state, Hydra is going
to beat Siren, HAL, Collection+JSON et al in almost every thinkable
way. The world needs Hydra! :)

Indeed. The spec should be chock-full of them.
