tantekI was thinking of creating a set of metrics for measuring the "indieweb"ness of individual sites, so that we could measure both our own individual progress and collectively
tantekbecause there are several areas, and you can be ahead or behind in any particular area, I thought "mark" was better, similar to the "ringmark" effort at W3C
tantekone of the challenges of any "*-mark" system is to figure out abstract levels that one technology can satisfy today and another could replace tomorrow.
tantekany ranking/mark system that depends on a specific technology tends to either look silly after a while, or unfortunately cause people to waste time implementing obsolete technologies just to earn a specific level
tantekone of the reasons I want to do this as a "mark" with areas/levels is that IMHO "SWAT0" was too hard and unsustainable - that is - I believe some implementations claimed to pass SWAT0, but that perhaps only Statusnet is still around?
aaronpkyea, the other nice thing is that whatever ranking/mark system this ends up being will also help give people an idea of the kinds of goals of the indieweb in an easy to consume manner
tantekBTW - I'm still a bit annoyed/bitter how W3C effectively killed the FSW effort. They took over the wiki, required you to join the W3C "Federated Social Web Incubator Group" (previous logins were dropped) and then eventually closed that group.
