About the Social Web XG

As a W3C Incubator group, our primary responsibility is to produce a final report summarizing our discussions with other groups, and propose a way forward for the W3C to participate productively in the wider Social Web ecosystem. In particular, we will survey the landscape for community-driven standards that in the future may be interested in W3C standardization, and how current W3C standards or Recommendation track work should take into account wider Social Web initiatives from outside the W3C.

We are a public and open body, and our work is done on a wiki and a public mailing list anyone can join if they can agree to the W3C Royalty-Free patent policy as to not recommend patented work for future W3C standardization. In order to conform with the W3C royalty-free patent policy and to prevent spam, in access the wiki, you have be a member of the W3C XG. See how to join. We also have a member-only mailing list, which is only used when discussing text of the deliverables, but which we will copy the public list. By copying to the member-list we preserve the commitment of members of the royalty-free patent policy when editing the actual text of deliverables.
