hi christoph several of us are around in limited capacity i'm sure
#
christoph
I am a little bit confused... am I right that the group got closed in 2010 and "re-opened" in 2014? what was between?
#
tantek
different group
#
tantek
what was the group that closed in 2010? do you have a link to it?
#
tantek
christoph: ^^^ see /topic for more links :)

and yes, I took a look in the wiki, thats why I found this IRC-channel ;-)
#
tantek
great!
#
tantek
christoph do you have a personal website?
shevski joined the channel
#
christoph
not really... I created / ran a few websites, but most of them for friends
#
christoph
not sure how to write my next question. it's about what technical recommendations are available. Of course I see them on the wiki ;) but are there some more?
#
christoph
and can someone estimate how long it will take until these "drafts" are "recommendations"?
#
tantek
christoph: depends on implementations and test suites and such! time from WD to REC varies greatly - difficult to predict
#
tantek
hence why I asked if you have a personal website - if you can help with implementing them on your own site, it can help improve the spec and move it towards REC
#
tantek
that's have most of these drafts have gotten this far
#
tantek
e.g. since you're interested in #social, do you use any existing social media like Twitter? would you consider posting short notes on your personal site instead of or in addition to Twitter? that would help
#
christoph
ok, sounds a little bit like "chicken-egg-problem" :-D because I would be interested in implementing your ideas
#
tantek
it's not chicken egg at all

it starts with scratching a personal itch, which doesn't require anything other than a desire to create something for yourself!
shepazu joined the channel
#
tantek
so if you are interested, pick out a personal site and we'll help you get started.
#
christoph
thats a good approach, I think I am at the right place here ;) because I refuse to use twitter or facebook. If I start posting my thoughts on a private site, I can make it "open" using your suggestions?
