The Working Group lists still exist but are pretty dead.  I agree we
really want to ensure that both OF based and dtc based new hardware is
consistent.  I'm not sure how we want to do this, but we can document in
Documentation and then use eg SLOF to mock out the OF interfaces and
create proposals and kick some life into the OF working group.
