@wulee @edsu true, #Zot has no #W3C support, but not for lack of trying on Mike's part according to his comments in the article.
-
@edsu @wulee true, but I think his point was that protocols and standards only work if they help achieve consensus between implementers ...
-
@wulee @edsu standards bodies, even W3C, can't make all apps of a certain type use common protocols simply by publishing a standard.
-
@wulee @edsu I'm not sure how pointing that out is brushing aside the social dimensions of protocol standards work, quite the opposite IMHO
-
@edsu @wulee exactly, which is why @mike is right that protocols are ultimately a "gentleman's agreement"
-
@wulee @edsu it sounds like the #SocialWG just put many of the problems #Zot *already solves* (eg #NomadicIdentity) in the #TooHardBasket
-
@wulee @edsu but #Hubzilla is still the only app that supports every other app (via OStatus, Diaspora and AP) despite them not speaking Zot
