idk where to really put this (might turn into a blog post later or something). it’s what you might call a “hot take”, certainly a heterodox one to some parts of the broader #fediverse community. this is in response to recent discussion on “what do you want to see from AP/AS2 specs” (in context of wg rechartering) mostly devolving into people complaining about JSON-LD and extensibility, some even about namespacing in general (there was a suggestion to use UUID vocab terms. i’m not joking)

@trwnh@mastodon.social thanks for writing this thread. It sparked a lot of thoughts for me.
I do have one response in the form of a question. What’s stopping you from just doing the thing you want? You don’t really need permission.
@polotek@social.polotek.net me personally? i’m not much of a coder, i’m way better at designing a system and describing how it should work, not so much actually building it. although i am in talks with some folks who seem interested, so uh… maybe check back in like 5 years? 😁 or heck, possibly even two if we’re lucky!
@trwnh@mastodon.social good luck
@trwnh@mastodon.social @polotek@social.polotek.net I’d certainly love to hear more.
