I suggest Google Docs to start -- that'll help everyone collaborate using tooling most everyone is used to and provide feedback. The structure is up to you, of course. I would suggest that you try listing all the features of EDVs and how CouchDB maps to those features. You might also want to take the opportunity to highlight the features that you feel are important. > To clarify, I'm not arguing we don't need a standard.

Yes, agreed. :) > The point of meeting 80% of use cases is important, but there's some > subtlety in that. Is it 80% of the "total use cases" or 80% of the "most > important use cases" -- those are two very different things. And are we > dropping use cases because they're "too hard with the current spec > implementation" or because "they're not that important"? That's an excellent question. I expect it's mostly the latter, but it may be coming across as the former. Typically, when groups can't agree, they inject optionality into the specification... which exchanges the short term problem of agreeing on one solution with the longer term problem of interop challenges. That said, extensible specifications tend to last longer than rigid ones. It's a trade-off, like many other engineering decisions. :) In any case, sounds like there is alignment on the next step (and the general philosophy), which is good. :) -- manu -- Manu Sporny - https://www.linkedin.com/in/manusporny/ Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: Veres One Decentralized Identifier Blockchain Launches https://tinyurl.com/veres-one-launches
