I have added "FederatedSocialWeb" as a project, which stands for the
"W3C Federated Social Web Community Group".

Some comments regarding youbroketheinternet.org:

1. "We are preparing a EU law proposal to require obfuscated and
end-to-end encrypted communications in all telephony and computer
appliances sold after 2014. The law shall include ways to ensure its
correct implementation and a transition path from the existing
unencrypted systems."

I can guess who "we" is, and I do not support this. It is extremely
likely that such a proposal will not lead to a positive result. If such
a law is accepted it will contain legal requirements to implement
backdoors in end-to-end encrypted communications for so-called "law
enforcement" purposes.

2. "We like the Pirate Party, but we are not a project of the Pirate
movement."

I (and probably some of the projects on the map) do not like the Pirate
Party. I can elaborate on that, but that probably would be off-topic.
But let me just mention that I do not like _any_ party which has a
chairperson defending the German secret services.

3. Some of the light red colors on the map regarding "faulty
technologies that we shall replace" are not appropriate. I don't want to
prevent other people from trying to replace "Web Browsers", for example.
But sometimes it is better to improve existing technologies than to
attempt to replace them.

Cheers,
Andreas
