Issue #289 of the ActivityPub GitHub repository notes the inexact and
asymmetrical language used for defining the `inbox` and `outbox`
collections:
https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/289
To resolve this, there is a proposed erratum for Section 4.1 to bring
the definition of the `inbox` property closer to that of the `outbox`
property:
* In section 4.1 "Actor objects", the definition of "inbox" should
read, "An OrderedCollection comprised of all the messages received
by the actor; see 5.2 Inbox."
We usually handle approval of errata in our synchronous meetings, which
takes a lot of time and focus away from other topics that require more
immediate presence and conversation. In speaking with the chairs and
others in the issue triage meeting, we think that handling this task
through the CFC decision-making process will be more efficient.
So, I am seeking consensus to add this erratum to our errata page for
ActivityPub. Please reply either to the GitHub issue or here on the
mailing within 14 days of this message.
