I see that there have been a few changes in the past day to the Social Web XG charter [1]. In the past few minutes the scope of the XG in the charter has been updated to include the following sentence "We will focus on a number of different topics, including but not limited to: Accessibility, Internationalization, Social Data Portability, Privacy and Trust, Business Practices, and mapping the general landscape for future standardization." This update (a significant change) is a step in the the right direction. What about adding this section from charter [2] to charter [1]: The mission of the XG is to: * properly frame the questions which need to be asked/answered about social networking/social web usage and management in an open multidisciplinary forum, * to conduct rigorous research leading to documentation (mappings) on current open issues and future problems identified by the members of this forum, * to debate the architectural strategies and even philosophical ramifications of particular strategies, * to prototype possible solutions to present and/or anticipated challenges, and * to publish reports to the W3C members and/or the public at large on the challenges the XG is mandated to examine. Note that this does not settle the matter of Task Forces.
