Was there a vote on that? What does clear majority mean (60% of the
participants? participants representing 90% of users?) ?

Can you name those projects represented in that meeting which do not
care about improving the situation for users of what you call
"legacy"-software and -standards ?

At the workshop lots of projects were represented, including a good mix of P2P techs and web. 

Carlo gave a presentation where he argued that the federated social web, or even the web in general, would lead to centralization such as we've seen in webmail.  We didnt spend that much time talking about the web.

I can understand the point of view, but I am unsure that there was unanimous agreement.  There was a session where one goal was to get a large user base, and another where interaction with existing systems was a goal.

I left slightly early to get my train, but towards the end there was a contingent that was keen on a DNS replacement, some viewing it as a "nice to have" others as a "central component"  my personal concern is that this might be taking on too much.

 

Cheers,
Andreas
