Hi Tim,
Thanks for signing up on Advogato. The underlying software, an Apache
module called mod_virgule, is making steady progress towards a lot of
the goals you're interested in. You can see my ToDo list for the
software here:
http://rainwaterreptileranch.org/steve/sw/mod_virgule/todo.html
I've added your first request to my list.
Thank you!
DOAP support is already planned and would allow projects to either be
considered "native" Advogato projects, for which a DOAP file would be
generated; or they could be considered "remote" projects and the
project
information drawn from a DOAP file located elsewhere. DOAP will likely
be the next major feature added, hopefully before the end of 2007.
Consider virtual beer and cheese sent.
OpenID support is planned as well, though I'm not sure whether we
should
go for OpenID 2.0 support or 1.1 (or both).
I'm not familiar with the difference. I guess I should be.
Actually, for us to use your web of trust to let people log into our
systems, you
would only need to store a remote openid which they optionally put in
their advogato
profile.
Just like the RDF ID.
A copy, paste, paste of the code for the external Home Page, maybe :)
Your own implementation of OpenID login, an/or providing a free
OpenID service for all users,
is orthogonal and icing on the cake.
Things are moving slowly right now because I'm having to do 90% of the
work myself. I haven't had a lot of spare time due to the
constraints of
my day job. I haven't figured out a way to get paid for working on
Advogato and mod_virgule yet. ;-)
Understand!
We are doing this stuff with jobs and classes and things intervening.
Sometimes the most exciting projects which have no explicit funding...
(Danc, ever thought of cloning Advogato for HTML WG membership?)

Steve,
I like Advogato! Just got an account.
It seems to have checks in (almost) all the boxes!
I'm trying to push the use of FOAF for trust, specifically connecting
FOAF to OpenID.
http://esw.w3.org/topic/FoafOpenid
Advogato is nice as it does both of them.
My wishlist is:
1. Allow people to give in their profile an RDF ID for themselves
( or >1). This acknowledges that Adv. is not the only network ... it
would allow me to connect to another site like it for example.
My.opera.com does this, for example . If everyone does this we can
make a complete open social network. You publish owl:sameAs
linking the person in the site ti the person in the other site.
2. I love the foaf. How about DOAP for projects? It is an ontology
like FOAF.
For example http://usefulinc.com/ns/doap#Project
Example file http://dig.csail.mit.edu/2005/ajar/ajaw/
data#Tabulator.rdf
If you gave each project an RDF URI like say
http://www.advogato.org/proj/mod_virgule/doap#it
(not the project home age or human-readable page, the RDF ID of the
thing itself)
then people and projects would be connected. It'd be able to browse
around eth co-developer web in data space, make trust metrics like
"anyone who has worked with me on a project, to 3 hops" and so on.
