Avoiding DID-landia at RWoT8

Hi all,

A large chunk of us are going to be at Rebooting the Web of Trust 8 in
Barcelona next week. During RWoT in Boston, a lot of us ended up
gravitating toward the DID spec discussions which ended up being a very
large group of 18+ people.

Large groups mean that people don't get to speak and collaborate as much
as they should, and different work products don't get moved forward (or
don't happen at all)... because, who wants to miss the fireworks! :P

So, instead of DID-landia, I suggest we focus on small pockets of people
working on DID-related things. Here's a proposal for the sorts of groups
we could create:

* DID Use Cases, where the focus is on not adding new use cases, but
  rapidly refining the excellent work that Joe has put into the
  current DID Use Cases document to prepare it for a DID Working Group.

* DID Editorial Issues that make the spec difficult to read/understand.
  This is the group that would most likely consist of the current
  Editors making editorial changes to clean the flow of the spec up.

* DID Document Features (current/new ones) that need use cases, debate,
  and spec text hammering before a PR can be created. This would be ABNF
  changes for services, DID namespaces, etc.

Other DID-related things:

* DID Resolver -- making headway on that spec?

* DID Auth -- what's new? MikeJ's paper on OIDC+DIDs seemed interesting
  and would fit in a group like this.

* Two-factor integration? FIDO? BOPS? etc.?

We may want to set aside 2-3 hours in the last day for a report out from
all the groups that did DID-related stuff so we can at least sync so
that folks don't feel like they missed out on stuff or didn't have their
concerns heard.

Thoughts?
