Re: Rendering Verifiable Credentials @ RWoT11

Hi Manu,

We have an open issue for this in vc-edu. I added the archive link to your email to this issue: https://github.com/w3c-ccg/vc-ed/issues/16 <https://github.com/w3c-ccg/vc-ed/issues/16>

I’m also CCing the vc-edu mailing list and will mention in today’s call. This is something the task force would like to stay in the loop on. I can’t offer direct assistance right now but can confirm that it has come up frequently with wallet providers and issuers of Open Badges.

Thanks!

K.
