We have a few projects in the Fediverse that are doing remixing and
aggregating content and other activities from other Actors. Two good
examples are Surf and Channel.org.
I think this is an interesting enough pattern that we should open up a
Task Force at the SocialCG to investigate standardizing some of these
features. Important questions to ask are:
* How should an aggregated feed appear on the Fediverse? Is it just
another Actor that Announces activities and content that meet its
requirements? Or is there another structure?
* How do we handle ordering of feeds? Some feeds might not be reverse
chronologically ordered, but use some other algorithmic ordering.
* How can feeds be transparent about what the sources are? Actors,
search terms, hashtags, etc. What is coming into this feed? Can
consumers inspect the sources?
* Is the feed replicable elsewhere?
Chairs, I'd like to propose an agenda item to discuss this possibility
at the next CG meeting.
Evan
