Re: Status of WebID proposal

Hello Jeremy,

I’ve started working on a revision of the spec that *might*, hopefully, gather enough support to make some headway towards the goal of becoming a W3C spec. No guarantees.

Some discussion about this can be found in the archives at https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webid/2022Feb . I’ve been significantly delayed by work and life stuff but I’m finally getting back to it next week. 

Best regards,
Jacopo.
