Re: FYI: possible solid WG timeline Sep 2023

Hi James,

Thanks for considering Solid in your project.  My understanding is that the
current protocol, the foundational specification of Solid, is in a stable
state and that you can count on compliant Solid servers to follow what it
says.  In the next year, it's possible that new features will be added but
unlikely  that any existing requirements would be countermanded.  If you
have questions about specific features,  I encourage you to ask any
question at all in the specifications chat room -
https://app.gitter.im/#/room/#solid_specification:gitter.im. You are also
welcome to  attend and ask questions during the community group meetings.
If you have more general questions about Solid, try the forum -
https://forum.solidproject.org/.
