Web):

Yes, I believe so, we made the decision in this meeting [1] and
eventually Evan just handed over a SQL dump to W3C, and we just
relaunched it as decided earlier - but yes, apologies to anyone who
the migration confused, and for the return of yet another frustrating
username/login experience! We have yet to migrate the list-serv, but
we could at this point as well.
To get a wiki-login, here's instructions (also on
federatedsocialweb.net homepage):
If you have no W3C account, get one here:
http://www.w3.org/Help/Account/Request/Public
If you have an account, then sign this form to be an IE (i.e. Tantek):
http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/1/ieapp/
I know its a hassle but its how we spam-proof the wiki, and also
maintain royalty-free IPR or any other patent commitment on the wiki
content.
BTW, am pushing to get W3C to OpenID-enable...we are doing a
full-scale infrastructure upgrade in June when we transition to
Community Groups, and from then on we won't have Invited Experts, it
should all be open and more suited for individual contributions with
an OWF-style license without all these forms.
And if you want any details of your W3C account changed Tantek, just
email me off list and I'll do it, and again, apologies for any
confusion.
cheers,
harry
