Remixing and Aggregating Task Force

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.
