Re: W3C Solid Community Group

Hi Justin and Benjamin, 

I’ve added a point at the start of the meeting to talk about our preferred methodology to work through the issues and pull request together.

The issues and pull requests are listed in a random order in the agenda and we can go from the top so to prepare best start at the top of the list. 

It’s too last minute to change the agenda now because people may have already prepared. If there are any burning issues or pull requests that you would like to tackle first in next weeks agenda please let me know and we can make sure to bump them to the top of the list.

I’m not sure that a live session - where the vast majority of the group may have little to no context on the substance of a given issue or pull request - is going to be constructive.

In cases where we’re at an impasse, we can certainly surface these as candidates for discussion on the call, but we have to ensure that the people involved in that issue or pull request will actually be attending first.

If agreement on that approach can happen on the call, and those ideas can be posted back to the mailing list after so people know how to mark/vote up accordingly, that’d be great.
