Call for Participation in Social Web Incubator Community Group

The Social Web Incubator Community Group has been launched:


The purpose of the Social Web Incubator Community Group is to continue and extend the development of vocabularies, formats and protocols to support the distributed / federated social web, as well as related technologies (such as anti-abuse and anti-spam techniques suitable for an open web). This group continues the work of the W3C Social Web Working Group. As proposals gain support and become more stable and mature, they will be considered for migration to a W3C Working Group where they can be put on the Recommendation track with appropriate status and Intellectual Property (IP) considerations.


In order to join the group, you will need a W3C account. Please note, however, that W3C Membership is not required to join a Community Group.

This is a community initiative. This group was originally proposed on 2016-11-18 by Aaron Parecki. The following people supported its creation: Aaron Parecki, Tantek Çelik, Benjamin Roberts, Amy Guy, Sandro Hawke, Evan Prodromou. W3C’s hosting of this group does not imply endorsement of the activities.

We invite you to share news of this new group in social media and other channels.

If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please email us at site-comments@w3.org

Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
