RE: Do we want a "What is SSI discussion" at future CCG call?

There is the main title/question (“What is SSI?”) but I think there is also a subtext as well:

What role does or should “SSI jargon” be encouraged/discouraged?
…for which types of audiences
…which types of communication/documentation
…at this point along the curve of SSI adoption/social evolution

This type of discussion also ties in nicely we evolve from being wanderers to explorers to a clan, a band, a tribe, and ultimately, a tribal society.

Naturally, I prefer more/a lot of precision …as early as possible …at least for the audiences of interest to me.

Food for thought,
Michael

Subject: Do we want a "What is SSI discussion" at future CCG call?

All,

Is there community interest in continuing the "what is SSI?" discussion, debate style (point, rebuttal, counterpoint, rebuttal), at a future CCG meeting? A little in the style of the "What's in a Wallet" sessions. I would ask that we start from a newbie introduction perspective and baby-step toward the specific nuances and disagreements. This could be an illuminating and entertaining experience for all.

Thoughts community?
