Re: Solid QA implementations

Hi Benjamin,

Thanks for the shout-out! That document was mainly Sarven's work, Pete and
I and others helped review it.
Did you see https://github.com/solid-contrib/specification-tests? That is
mostly Pete's work, great if you want to reuse it!
Most of our tests are still only linked to the spec through imprecise code
comments and general intuition, but as the doc states
we aim to migrate all that and make it all machine-readable using RDF. The
establishment of a Solid WG at the W3C level could
definitely help us to push that migration effort forward, and it would
indeed be great to share lessons learned with you and your
work on AP testing! Let us know if you have anything to show off on your
side.

You can come to our test suite matrix channel (
https://matrix.to/#/#solid_test-suite:gitter.im) if you need help with
anything.

Cheers,
Michiel
