The Social Web Incubator Community Group (also known as SocialCG, or SWICG) is the successor of the Social Web Working Group, which ran from 2014 to 2017. The SocialCG provides space to collaborate and coordinate for implementors who are building on any of the specifications published by the Social Web WG, and related technologies. It is also a place to incubate new proposals which build on or complement the Social Web WG recommendations.
Discussions and meeting announcements happen on the SocialHub forum or on project-specific version control repositories.
Meetings are not always weekly, but can be requested or convened by any member of the group. If you have a specific item to discuss, please contact a chair if you need help with meeting logistics, and make a post on the SocialHub forum, ideally with two or more weeks notice.

Hi everyone,
The next SWICG special topic call will be held Friday November 17, 2023, where the editors would like to gather community input on the various AP/AS2 issues marked with the Needs Group Input/Decision tag.
The call will be held at 9am ET / 6am PT / 3pm CET, at:
https://meet.jit.si/social-web-cg
Rough agenda:
As usual, please feel free to join the discussion directly on the issues, on Github.
Hello everyone,
Thank you to everyone who participated in the discussions pertaining to a prospective Working Group (WG). We have two announcements:
We are scheduling a Community Group meeting for Friday, October 6th.
The meeting will be at 11am ET / 4pm UK / 8am PT, and hosted at https://meet.jit.si/social-web-cg.
The rough agenda for the meeting is as follows:
The Chairs have created a new page on the W3C wiki to discuss the scope of a prospective WG: https://www.w3.org/wiki/SocialCG/WG_Charter_Discussion.
The wiki page is open to all CG members. You can log in with the same username and password you use for your W3C account. Please let the Chairs know via a private email if login doesn’t work so we can assist you directly.
WGs have the ability to create technical documents for consideration on the W3C Standards Track and to amend existing W3C Recommendations. The Chairs have created a “Deliverables” section in which we invite you to list any deliverables that you think are appropriate to include in a WG.
If you have further notes or comments about the WG Charter discussion, please leave them on the page so that we can aggregate as much information as possible in one place.
Thanks,
The Chairs
The Chairs have prepared an FAQ with answers to common questions with regard to the Social CG and the working group system at the W3C. This FAQ answers questions such as:
If you have feedback about the FAQs, please join #social on irc.w3.org and share your feedback.
During Social CG meetings, we take notes in IRC. We also use IRC to record when participants have questions to ask during the call. Meeting notes are archived on the W3C website for later reference. A link to the meeting notes will be available shortly after the meeting concludes.
You can join the meeting chat by connecting to irc.w3.org on IRC and joining the #social channel. You can also join directly from the irc.w3.org website. If you join using the website, you will need to choose a nickname. In the Channels form, set the value #social.
If you have any questions, please let us know.
Anyone may join this Community Group. All participants in this group have signed the W3C Community Contributor License Agreement.
