=== What functions will PICA provide? === ==== High-level functions ==== * a SharedAwarenessSystem * an accessible, fair, quick, easy, and not overly formal standards track * community connections, that we might otherwise feel too shy to make * encouragement! ==== More specifically ==== * a formal submission queue; PICA numbered memo series ** Benefits: *** everyone will know when ideas are presented seriously *** this will help demarcate when the brainstorming stage is over, and a proposal is being presented for consideration by the community * a hub for people to publicize their efforts ** will include news about non-PICA proposals ** bulletin board, wiki, mailing list ** Benefits: *** Exposure for proposals *** A way for interested people to hear about new proposals * a catalog of standards efforts, both PICA and non-PICA ** including notes on the ''relationships between'' various standards *** For example, there should be an entry on Atom, and somewhere on that page there should be a link to the entry on WebDAV. ** (this is the "standards wiki" idea) * keeping track of who/how many people ("signees") endorse each standard ** maybe: a voting or endorsement threshold process to make some of the numbered memos "official PICA standards" * documentation support * people willing, even eager, to make their software work with yours * ''fun'' and ''glory'' ==== even more specifically ==== We discuss specific potential standards at PotentialPicaProjects.
