Hi,

the "Web Application Messaging Protocol" (WAMP) is a _WebSocket 
subprotocol_ that provides two application messaging patterns in one 
unified protocol:

- Remote Procedure Calls
- Publish & Subscribe

There is an open specification, multiple independent implementations and 
a growing user community. The protocol has seen takeup in particular 
with IoT applications.

Project site:	http://wamp.ws/
Specification:	https://github.com/tavendo/WAMP/tree/master/spec
Mailing list:	https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/wampws
Chat room:	https://gitter.im/tavendo/WAMP

While we do have a spec, having a proper RFC for WAMP would be a further 
step forward.

Working on a RFC and producing a high-quality document is a lot of work 
and requires significant commitment by multiple parties, since 
otherwise, sufficient peer review and feedback isn't guaranteed.

While a lot of contributors have been working over the last +3 years on 
WAMP, we need commitment to work on the _actual RFC_.

So if you do have interest in seeing a WAMP RFC, your input and feedback 
is welcome! Please reply ..

Cheers,
/Tobias
