Thanks, Addison; I think Pierre-Antoine can probably give you access, but I’ll add your changes.

> I generally find that Discussions or plain old markdown pages can be helpful vs. the wiki form because both have notifications and markdown page under a separate directory can be edited in much the same way as the wiki (direct commits) or via PRs. We use both of these in Unicode's MessageFormat working group to good effect [2][3]. But I'm totally fine with using the wiki if our folks can get access (and if that's appropriate).

The wiki is, of course, in Markdown format, but not available for PRs. Moving into a separate file/directory in this repo would be easy enough and solve the PR and messaging issues, presuming that everyone agrees with this, it may be a better way to go in general.

I believe the wiki is generally editable by WG members, but can technically be opened to others based on the approval of RDF-star WG chairs or team contact.

I created a wiki page [1] describing the problem space and some potential solutions which I invite interested people to contribute to. The advantage of this is that it is an easy space for people to collaborate. The disadvantage is that there’s no simple notification when changes are made. So, if working on this, please send updates to the RDF-star WG mailing list and indicate the topic using the subject prefix “[Text Direction]” or by responding to this email.

Ultimately, our solution should be documented there, but this wiki page, or one derived from it, may be useful past the time the issue is settled as a rationale for the direction we actually take.

My personal feeling is that the WG should choose one asap, put it into the new RDF draft, and publish a new TR with that approach. The RDF community may (or may not...) react and see if it carries. Otherwise, we are in the danger of dragging this discussion on for a long time...
