The spec includes: - A protocol (client/server) - The spec should be hosted under `solidproject.org` - The identifiers of the spec documents, as well as panel discussions, should be commited to for persistence. - IRI templates ? - This would require a "Persistence policy" - https://github.com/solid/solidproject.org/issues/247 - Pipeline to produce the actual spec document: - Travis - bikeshed - respec - Travis is quite slow, maybe should be replaced using GH actions - Netlify could be use for previews - Justin: Should the source text be directly in HTML, or is MD easier to edit/discuss ? - Dmitri - personal experience.. changed from bikeshed to plain ol HTML authoring - The `solidproject.org` website should be hosted on a Solid server. - The GH repo could host "plain" HTML, and it should be pushed from there to the Solid server hosting `solidproject.org`. - That would be a strong message to the outside world that the Solid spec can be used in the "real" world. - Each document would be directly editable, access right could be managed at fine granularity... ## Solid-OIDC - The spec draft has matured, there are just some discussions around the access token. ## Auth panel - Proposition of the ACP mechanism by Emmet T. (Inrupt) ## Interop panel - App interoperability draft iterated on - Shape tree spec and primer, work with Ghent university to have PoC/implementation. # solidproject.org update - The update was focused on - making it clear to a new visitor what Solid is at a first glance - Updating the tutorials - A second round of updates is going to be required for secondary content - interop, data model, security model, additional tutorials, user section, app listing, newsletter... - Clarifying the Solid roadmap - Published on solidproject.org, but documented in RDF and being a standalone project. - App listing update - Many apps no longer work, so we should reach out to the authors. - The utilities from the library list should move to the app listing # solidcommunity.net - Creation of a role in the process, "System operator", to manage the solidcommunity.net server. This allows to set expectations, and to have active maintenance of the server. - Eric P. - Michiel D. - Alain B. - Creation of the "Acceptable use policy" for the service - Published at https://github.com/solid/solidcommunity.net#solidcommunitynet-acceptable-use-policy and https://solidcommunity.net - Sarver: Should we document the "intent" of Solid, and reference it ? In order to say basically we want to avoid sharing misinformation, harmful things... # SolidOS - Group maintaining the Data browser and Mashlib - Maintain NSS - Test suite development - Nextcloud/Solid interoperability project see also PHP server: ( was the reference to https://github.com/linkeddata/ldphp in the call? I don't know another PHP-based pre-Solid RWW server - Sarven) https://github.com/pdsinterop/php-solid-pubsub-server another product of https://pdsinterop.org/ which is a project to bring together NexxtCloud and Solid. Everyine on NextCloud will be able to have a solid pod.
