Thanks for mentioning the Open Web Foundation especially as I think it can be complementary to the policy work the Data Portability Working Group is wanting to do. I just want to stress that the Open Web Foundation is *not* developing code, rather open specifications for the web that developers can then easily implement. - David Recordon via FriendFeed MT Plugin

Marshall thank you for covering the new official status of the project and the kind words. It is a big responsibility that i have taken on and i have been very encouraged by the responses from the entire community- so thank you all. We certainly have a lot of work in front of us, but those that are engaged have not been shy about the amount of hours that they have dedicated to the project. I have worked on many teams before that are trying to address diverse projects- and i have never seen a more committed group of individuals- i am confident that we will deliver and over the next few months we will 'woo' back some of those early data portability supporters. We have had some hurdles to jump over the last few months (hey we have only been 'around' 8months and are a unique type of open participation group) but the structure that we have established has already proven to be the right one to move the things that the marketplace got excited about in those first fews months! we welcome all voices and encourage - daniela barbosa via FriendFeed MT Plugin
