OStatus Community Group
This group was closed on 2019-08-13.
See the Social Web Incubator Community Group instead.
OStatus is a suite of protocols that lets people on different social networks interact. This group will develop the next version of the protocol.
Note: Community Groups are proposed and run by the community. Although W3C hosts these conversations, the groups do not necessarily represent the views of the W3C Membership or staff.
Migrating content from ostatus.org and wiki.ostatus.org
I’d like to take the maintenance of ostatus.org content out of my own incapable hands, and make it more accessible through this community group.
ostatus.org itself consists of a Drupal-based blog with <10 posts plus a copy of the spec. I believe it can be pretty easily transferred to the community group sites here, which run on WordPress.
wiki.ostatus.org is a MediaWiki wiki. I believe the content can be dumped and restored on the new community group wiki, but new user accounts will need to be created.
After that’s done, I’ll try to 301-redirect specific URLs in the ostatus.org domain to their new equivalents on the w3.org sites.
New OStatus Community Group at W3C
I’m happy to see that the new community group for OStatus has started.
My goals for this group are to:
- develop future versions of the OStatus specification.
- provide resources for implementers.
