Original Proposal

 * David Shanske (facilitator)
 * One of the common relationships you'll find in various platforms is the ability to mention/tag or otherwise refer to people in a post. There are several elements needed to make this work smoothly on your own site.
 * Nickname Caches - a contact list where you can tag people without having to type out their entire URL...such as @johndoe
 * Tagging/Mentioning People in Posts - how to publish
 * Salmentions for tagging
 * Homepage Tag/Mentions
 * What would a simple UI look like?

Jamie Tanna's usage of tagging
, until recently, could only @-mention someone's URL or their Twitter URL. Since https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/03/22/at-mention-people/ he can now provide silo-aware mentioning, which is based on Micropub contacts support (https://www-api.jvt.me/micropub?q=contact)

If he is only interacting with someone on Twitter, he sends a note with a Twitter profile URL, i.e. https://twitter.com/JamieTanna, and his Micropub server will rewrite that to @JamieTanna on Twitter syndication.

See https://php.microformats.io/?url=https://www.jvt.me/mf2/2020/06/6aova/ for an example of silo-aware @-mentions, and https://www.jvt.me/mf2/2020/05/ze2ti/ for Twitter-only mentions.
