Data Portability Report draft

For today’s discussion of data portability, I started a draft report in the ActivityPub repository:

https://w3c.github.io/activitypub/data-portability-report.html

I tried to list as much as possible what “your” data consists of on the social web.

I then cover the two existing data portability techniques:

Backup and restore with own domain
Mastodon-style Move

I know that some other implementations, such as Firefish and Friendica, have more detailed data portability between their own instances. I’d love to document those, also.

I think this report, with deeper coverage, could be helpful to implementers trying to support portability.

I hope this is helpful input for our meeting today.
