I like the concept of Solid, and proposed it to the BeWelcome community (who are running a hospitality exchange network like CouchSurfing, but free). Although Solid is a better technical idea, I'm not sure how the migration from PHP/MySQL would work. Nobody on the Solid forum replied to my post asking about it. Another guy, Chagai, is pushing for Matrix and the fediverse. Ultimately, there's many great technical ideas, but the real solution doesn't lie in writing code - it's in building the community. Therefore I'm trying harder to create more activity in BeWelcome's existing community (which is hard when nobody's travelling), like an online meetup every Thursday. If it gets critical mass, I believe it could be as widespread as Wikipedia or OpenStreetMap (which it models in org structure). I wish that Solid could be a part of it, but that requires active developers, and currently it's hard enough to find someone willing to make an API or native iOS app, never mind a breaking back-end change that people aren't asking for.
