Re: Data Portability Task Force in the SocialCG

So, I don't know if Lisa is OK with it, but I think adding issues to the 
Git repository is a great way to ask questions and get them answered.

https://github.com/swicg/activitypub-data-portability/issues

Also, I authored that document for our data portability special session 
at TPAC in Seville last year. It is very hand-wavy. It only describes 
the current state of data portability on the Fediverse, and does not 
suggest or promote any new methods.

As I'm currently editing the AS2 and AP documents, and co-editing the 
AP/Webfinger profile report, I'd like to at least get someone to co-edit 
the data portability report, if not take it over completely. So, that's 
probably my big question for next week!
