The Social Web Foundation launched today. This non-profit is dedicated to making connections between social platforms with ActivityPub, and was co-founded by @[email protected] @[email protected] and @[email protected].
The foundation's focus is educating the public and policy makers about the social web, enhancing and extending the ActivityPub protocol, and building tools and plumbing to make the social web easier to use. “With this program, The Social Web Foundation can catalyze more growth on the Fediverse while improving user experience and safety,” says Prodromou. “Our goal is to unblock users, developers and communities so they can get the most out of their social web experience.”
We are proud to support the work of the foundation. Read more about the it here:

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] I think my confusion was that they are labeled "recent projects" (implying projects by founding members donated to the new foundation) not "currently working on" or similar. Since they are in progress, why not list next steps and current progress? e.g. for e2ee you could link to the SWCG AP-E2EE TF https://github.com/swicg/activitypub-e2ee, today's meeting https://www.w3.org/events/meetings/4eb80e63-556e-482e-9354-de7a3535a786/, discuss what was learned in the SoP24 (assuming completion of 31 Aug per the website), etc.
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] thanks. That's a fair critique. I'll see what I can do to get the full status of the project onto those pages.
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] thanks for taking the time to discuss that critique. I really think your foundation has a great mission, and I'm really excited by its launch.
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Us too!
