 Now if we look at AS/AP ecosystem, there is a problem as the storm of discussion on vNext of the protocol or choosing alternative directions, goes on unabated, and no one seems to be coming to any kind of real consensus. It almost looks like we once again must leave that to the vendors to sort out, when they enter the 'fedi market' en masse. Ideally we want to have multiple commons-controlled focused and productive working groups that elaborate various themes of the social web. 7/.. 4 comments
Tangential, but to add some more spice to this.. We need more fellowships like this, who explore yet other areas together. Like for object capability social web at scale. A couple of years ago, when you were still on Spritely Project, you sent out a toot out in which you sighed that once spritely technology would be mature enough for widespread use, it would probably be already too late. The institute to the rescue, I guess. Valid and prudent choice. 1/.. It is still hard to hook on to spritely unless you have deep technical expertise. That means most others (large group) are in wait-and-see necessarily. Choice is perfectly valid, because its the foundation team's own initiative. Is it the best tech introduction strategy? Best technology adoption model to use? Your community and ecosystem have to catch up, once you say "it's time for fun". Randy's community pattern language might serve to unlock upper-stack stakeholders now. Because that is highly tangential from spritely core technology, fanning out into vast scope, you might offload that to a fellowship that can facilitate multiple independent initiatives at the same time, not just spritely but also see an ecosystem of convergance and increasing alignment, rather than fragmentation as per the norm. |

Thus I had the idea to write a proposal to start, what I call, a fellowship that runs an open social web laboratory, and is able to separate the general discussion to focused input for working groups to quickly iterate on a theme, in a similar way to how BS operates now.

The idea is follow-up to "Vision for fedi spec" feedback gathering that @helge initiated, as a means to cope with the broad subject area.
