On the last telcon of the W3C Social Web Working Group, we voted to request that Micropub move to PR, the next stage of publication within the W3C! This is the second to last step before Micropub becomes a W3C Recommendation!
Since it's sometimes confusing to remember all the stages that specs go through, here is a little diagram to help, taken from the new W3C Process Document.
Today I prepared the document for publication. This involved a last-minute pass through the document looking for obvious typos, adjusting the language around the exit criteria to be in the past tense (when this is published we will have exited the Candidate Recommendation stage!), and expanding the acknowledgements section. With any luck, we'll be publishing this next week!
Such great news. Hopefully Webmention and Micropub being W3C recommendations will push adoption. Exciting stuff :)
