At @roomy.space we've been cooking up the design for the next, ATProto-native iteration of Roomy, and that includes private data on protocol! The first component that we're working on is a group membership service that we're calling the "arbiter". Here's full overview of the design so far!

I have just finished an interactive arbiter simulator that runs right in the browser! The arbiter is our attempt at an interoperable group management system for the ATProtocol and permissioned spaces. zicklag.github.io/leaf-0.4/arbiter-simulator/

Another arbiter progress report! An attempt at a goups standard for ATProto. This week we talked to @habitat.network and it got us thinking about how we could inter-op, even with other projects that can't use the arbiter. Now we've got a draft lexicon that I'm hoping can work for both of us.

I've just finished the first, barely-working prototype of our new arbiter server! It's not ready for use just yet, but we're going to start experimenting with it in @roomy.space as a way to make every space a fully-fledged ATProto account that can be seamlessly managed by the Roomy space's admins.

I created a Discord-like space using ATProto Spaces!! While there are still some aspects where I’m unsure if the technical implementation is quite right, I feel that the potential of the AT Protocol is expanding significantly.

Hey, I opened a proposal to create a working group for games on atproto! I'm want to make the work that I and others have already done more useful for applications across the ATmosphere. If you're interested in co-chairing, helping out, or just participating, let me know! #atproto #gamedev

reminder that the inaugural ATP (atproto) working group meeting will be taking place soon! we are scheduled for the Thursday of #IETF126. you can register and participate remotely. if you have a topic you want to discuss, reply to the chairs on the mailing list; this is roughly final call
