[Proposal] WG for group/community standards and infrastructure in ATProto

I’ve created a preliminary Tangled repo for the working group:

While we work on next steps, it seems like there’s a consensus that the lack of a common reference point from which to evaluate different projects and implementations is hindering progress on this front.

To help with this, I’ve created a documentation template in resources/PROJECT-TEMPLATE.md to create structured high-level documentation for current projects. I will take the mantle of creating the initial documentation for the current project list (which others can then correct as they see fit). The current list of projects I currently have are:

Please let me know if I’m missing any project (including your own!).

To best document these projects, I will be reaching out to people working on these projects for virtual interviews; the answers to my questions will be used to fill out the documentation. I’ll also create a common document with all of the projects summarizing what major moves they make. Hopefully, by the end of this initial phase, the community will have a common reference point to compare and cross-reference each other’s work.

I know this might be a bit of a boring task, but if anyone would like to help document their own or someone else’s project, PRs are open! Even partially filling out a few sections for a project would be helpful here.

Project maintainers: be on the lookout for a message from me asking for an hour of your time.
