creating Federation working group Closed Thu 20 Sep 2012 8:58AM

I would like to invite interested people to create a working group focused on Federation. Myself and I believe many people would like to develop nodes which can participate in diaspora federation but using other software then currently in focus Ruby on Rails reference implementation.
So far I only know about Friandica having capacity of federating with diaspora-rails and I also would like to investigate federating public content with OStatus nodes running StatusNet, rStatus and more emerging software implementing OStatus stack.
I see work on it not separate but distinct from work on current reference implementation, which motivates me to propose crating such working group and invite people interested to participate in it. I also hope that we will coordinate our federation efforts with other initiatives including community group at W3C: http://www.w3.org/community/fedsocweb/
Also many of protocols used in diaspora stay under active development and introduce new changes which I hope we can follow and keep up with implementing.

A federated social network without people thinking about the federation? Heh. :-)

I don't know much (technically, at least) about how federation works.. but I think it's a great idea to put together a group of people who understand it and have the time/interest to work on it.. preferably supporting open standards wherever possible

I think federation is an important feature for diaspora and having a group of people focusing on it would be awesome!

Great idea - I only wish I could help with this. It's one of the critical aspects of D* development, so I wish you all success.

Federation is what makes D* different. We need to be focusing most of our energy on that.
