W3C FSW community group Re: OneSocialWeb Project Status

The W3C Federated Social Web Incubator Group also is inactive since it
ended on 15 December 2011.
http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/federatedsocialweb/charter

I am cross-posting to the still functioning W3C Federated Social Web
Incubator mailing list.

I remember that a decision was made a few months ago to create a W3C FSW
community group. But as far as I know this has not yet been done. If
there are no objections and no other volunteers I will attempt to do
that next week.

It would also be a good home for OneSocialWeb people. I do not think
that it currently would make sense to create a separate OSW community group.

The most appropriate home for the development of protocols such as XMPP
XEPs might be xmpp.org. But that also requires people who contribute.

Cheers,
Andreas

Although I cannot offer much of my time right now I would definitely help set up the infrastructure and support for creation of such a group.
