Gregory's ServerI'd like to read a bit of the history, the design decisions that went into OStatus, how that influenced PumpIO, and how that became ActivityPub (or is that ActivityStreams?)
And I'd love to read about the whole ControlYourself - Laconi.ca - StatusNet startup process, the stories of the people, the sadness of winding down. But maybe that's your next book...
@bobjonkman My expectation is this book will focus on the technical details and show readers the protocol and how it can be used. I also would like a book or maybe a website which covers the story of how everything came together.
For a different protocol, SIP, they use to do what they called "bake offs" where developers would get together to try integrating their code to make sure the protocol was implemented correctly. At one point Pillsbury demanded they stop using that term. It would be fun to attend a "bake off" for ActivityPub.
