> Their primary mission becomes to keep track of what's happening in the community.
I agree on that, partially. It goes both ways, to the benefit of everyone. The folks at the SWICG are also just volunteering their time as participants in the same developer ecosystem. A bit of giving and a bit of taking is needed.
That said, we have a bottom-up standardization process, not a top-down hyper-formal one that is more appropriate for creating corporate industry standards. And the SWICG tends to the latter, which is imho a flaw and mistake similar to how Solid project operates, and fails to reach their community.
Fediverse evolution is community-driven first and foremost.
