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
