The article makes a good point: academics/researchers are in a good position to build federated systems. They have slightly different needs than the population in general, but they've built good stuff in the past (eg smtp and http).
I don't think many academic application protocols have hit widespread adoption since HTTP. Would Napster count? lol
HTTP did pretty well though. :-)
Yeah. Pretty well. 😂
