Social Web Working Group (W3C)

Got pointed towards this by Pavlik Elf in the diaspora* Facebook page when shouting out for contributors relating to the webfinger stuff.
Anyone been following stuff here?

I have no idea where you got that impression.
I definitely think you should. W3C has enough strike force to make things change.

W3C SocialWG updated ActivityStreams2 candidate working drafts
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-socialweb/2015Jun/0041.html
New improved candidate working drafts for the ActivityStreams2 spec that aims to provide a common way for social web applications to talk to each other. If you don't know what this means in practice - it is a huge thing for federated social networks. The real future for federated social web is using a common language, and that is what this work is about.
Really looking forward to this, already very good looking, work mature and API libraries to surface.
