We have put the WebID definition spec in a W3C format too. There is not much magic associated with this. It's a well known template. We can not have everybody who contributed once in the list of authors or editors. That is why we have a contributor section. The editor and the author tasks require active presence in the WG and presence at conf calls. Manu had neither of these involvements. I left his name there in the hope that he would come back, but that never happened. The foaf+ssl protocol has not changed in any great depth since I first blogge about it at Sun Microssytems. Here is the early story of foaf+ssl http://lists.foaf-project.org/pipermail/foaf-protocols/2008-October/000000.html We have done a huge amount of work here since then, implementation wise, discussion wise,... > > Cheers, > Andreas Social Web Architect http://bblfish.net/
