Semantic web webdav/caldav implementation? (lemmy.myserv.one)

hi, i was looking at web3.0 & semantic web stuff, and thought, activitypub is a new standard, in a decade would i imagine webdav/caldav to still be around? i would, like rss or irc, and i'd expect a better standard to come along as well which explicitly includes tasks

does anyone know of any communities i could go to, in order to chat with other folks interested in this? it's something i'd wanna work on in my free time

context

i've been looking for a solution to manage tasks and reminders in a standardized way, to sync across devices. it seems like caldav is used and tasks/reminders are treated as events

i was hoping for something more specific to tasks, like having a sequence of tasks linked to one another or in addition to a vertical hierarchy, horizontal linking between tasks

i realize stuff like a kanban board, e.g. trello would fit my needs and it can sync with caldav and it's like 70% the way there and not exactly what i'd like

tl;dr

new webdav standard w/ cool task features when?

If you're looking to contribute to the standardization process for web standards and propose a new idea, you could try looking into discussion channels for W3C. From my understanding, they are the ones who maintain the ActivityPub/ActivityStreams standards, though I'll admit I don't know much about the process. IETF also seems to be responsible for the WebDAV RFC. You could try reaching out to them to see if they still have interest in it or a place to discuss it.

Otherwise, I don't know of any communities specific to that topic, but you could always build your own extension to WebDAV anyway. Things are created when people build them, so be the one to do it and popularize it!

Yo, thanks so much for the resources! I found what looks to be the relevant group for calendar extensions, one of the most recent proposals/things is representing contact data with JSON.

This is definitely something I'll be looking into and hopefully contributing to one day!!

EDIT: whoops, here's a relevant link
