@codenamedmitri Is it enough to reply here that one intends to attend?

Second, I started collecting my testing related stuff at Testing the Fediverse

Oh, yeah, totally sufficient! (You don’t even have to do that much, just show up.)
That said, hey, do you want to take 5-10 min to present on the work you’ve been doing with the gherkin test cases, etc etc?

(That goes for everyone else too – we’ve got a couple time slots remaining if you want to present!)

Sure. I’ll prepare something…

I think a derivative question from @eprodrom comment at the beginning “Is ActivityStreams in scope?” would be:

How do we test an object is valid for the content type application/activity+json?

Maybe somebody should attempt to revive GitHub - w3c-social/activitystreams-validator: validator for AS2 URLs and uploaded data

Moved due to posting in wrong thread.
