Re: SWICG Special Topic Call (Nov : AP/AS2 Errata Issues [via Social Web Incubator Community Group]

Melvin,

Although the title is "Living spec/editor's draft", the proposal text says:

 > Incorporate the existing errata for the ActivityPub spec into an 
updated Editor's Draft.

...and the words "living spec" aren't used elsewhere.

Can you live with updating the current editor's draft with the new 
errata decided at the meeting? And removing the misleading title "Living 
Spec" from the minutes?

All the errata changes discussed at the meeting have been in the GitHub 
issue list for many weeks, sometimes months. You can see the issues that 
need group input here:
