I did see that, when I looked, just now.
Excellent! Would be great to hear that something may be moving in thi direction!

P.S.: This would sort of remind me of FriendFeed, where we could subscribe to the RSS feeds of friends who, in turn, assembled their feeds from their various contributions. Would be wonderful to recover some of that previous functionality we have been missing for so long.

I have to think about it, but I could liaise with ORCID product team. I still have to understand exactly what for exactly. I have the feeling they would be interested.

@fresseng If ORCID is willing to have this under their aegis, I think I could come up with an implementation to make ORCID records AP-followable, at least as a prototype. My own ActivityPub work is kind of early stage and I don't have much experience scaling things up, but we could test something with an early-adopter community, see if it makes sense, and then maybe rearchitect with @bonfire. 🙂

Alright! This looks good. I think I could introduce you to Tom Demeranville (head of product team) with this kind of project, so that you may chat together. Please send me an email with these details so that I can get yours and liaise with Tom (my email is on my ORCID)

Let's schedule a call to discuss how to best collaborate on this?

@bonfire I'm super in favor of having you there for the project exploration with ORCID, since you've already done the work of converting ORCID records (via their API) to ActivityPub actors, which I'd describe as the only challenging technical part of my proposal. The rest is all about getting the right people together and in agreement that this is a worthwhile project.

Since @fresseng suggested moving to email, wanna ping me at julian@fietkau.me? I'll CC you for my opening mail.

@jonny I think ORCID, assuming they'll agree to do an ActivityPub project in-house, will want to run something that uses only their API and no external data sources. But there is clearly a lot of overlap with what you're doing. Wanna be part of the email thread and/or potentially a future Zoom call? fietkau.social/@julian/1120047

Ya I am inclined to build offroad small web tech that scavenges, lives off the land, and slips in the open cracks :) complementary approaches
