@evan some time ago you queried about what would be a good comms channel for #ActivityPub API.

I have some ideas / recommendations on the #Github repo that the #W3C TF uses.

- Structure the repo to hold the work of the full task force, not just for the creation of a single specification document.

- Use GH Discussions for all the general elaboration, feedback collection, etc. The repo forms a self-contained body of work. Move most current Issues in the tracker to become Discussions.

- Issues are created by task force members, and always represent actionable items. They are tracked on a Project kanban board where the swimlanes represent a simple protocol development #Process with a number of stages.

Then:

- Primary comms channel is Discussions.
- Issues + kanban represent work tracks.
- Secondary comms channel can be #fedi.

I'd reserve #SocialCG mailing list to #governance and organizational matters concerning the CG itself, and point mails on other subject to appropriate channel.

The W3C couldn’t care less about the havoc their SVG causes. Do your org a favor and strip .svg files from emails at your email gateway and stop using it in signatures. It’s tough for enterprises to defend let alone small businesses.

¿Sabían que el Protocolo ActivityPub, el cimiento del Fediverso, fue publicado oficialmente como una Recomendación del W3C el 23 de enero de 2018?

Este estándar fue desarrollado por el Social Web Working Group, con figuras clave como Christine Lemmer-Webber y Jessica Tallon, con el objetivo de crear una red social descentralizada y federada basada en el formato de datos JSON-LD.

A diferencia de los protocolos propietarios de las grandes corporaciones, ActivityPub permite que servidores independientes —nodos— se comuniquen entre sí de forma transparente. Esto significa que una acción realizada en una instancia de Mastodon puede ser interpretada y mostrada correctamente en plataformas diversas como Friendica, Pixelfed o Pleroma. Esta arquitectura elimina el control centralizado y devuelve la soberanía de la información a los administradores y usuarios de cada comunidad.

El protocolo se basa en el concepto de Inboxes (Bandejas de entrada) y Outboxes (Bandejas de salida), donde cada actor en la red tiene una dirección única para recibir y enviar actividades como "Create", "Follow" o "Like". Esta estructura es lo que garantiza que el mensaje sea el protagonista y no el algoritmo de una entidad comercial.

Detect at-rule() support in CSS · A handy feature lands in Chromium 148 https://ilo.im/16bf5x

Detect at-rule support in CSS with @supports at-rule(@keyword)

Back in January 2022, I wrote about an exciting new CSS Working Group decision: a function to detect at-rule support using @supports at-rule(@keyword). Fast forward to today, and the CSS Conditional Rules Module Level 5 specification has solidified how this feature works and Chromium (Chrome, Edge, etc.) is about to ship it in Chromium 148!
