* Goals have been set for 2021

** Informed by a JS implementation (being refactored into TS), with the goal of having a Java impl.
* App spec interop spec 85% complete

# Solidproject.org

## Terms of use / persistence policy

https://github.com/solid/solidproject.org/pull/489

* How to enforce pledged persistence (who, and how from a technical perspective) ?
** We would need Tim to make a final discussion here

## info@solidproject.org

* Historically, it was its own mailbox. It is now an alias routing to the [Solid Administrators](https://github.com/orgs/solid/teams/administrators). 
** What's the current use of this address ? -> it's given as a contact endpoint on solidproject.org. It previously was used as a registration adress on some services, it is also the replyto: of the newsletter. It should be kept this way, unless the automated responses become overwhelming.
** Clarifying the role of this email address is a matter of transparency, so that it can be spelled out in the term of use.

* How to respond to emails by organizations who want to use Solid ?
** We can direct them to the homepage, but we have to craft a response that shows how they can do research, without taking our own bandwidth

* Polite Redirect Email here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EeQncGUpYcuf9YOLcnoy-GB_fhxleAbaIcadvIbVTCE/edit?usp=sharing

# Open discussion

## hackmd vs W3C wiki
