Issue #320 in the ActivityPub repository points out a discrepancy
between sections 5.3 and section 7.5 of the document:
https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/320
Roughly, the problem is that one section describes the `followers`
collection as every actor that has sent a Follow activity; the other
section describes the approval process for being added to `followers`.
To correct this problem, during issue triage, I've added two proposed
errata:
https://www.w3.org/wiki/ActivityPub_errata/Proposed
The first is:
* Section 5.3 "Followers Collection" should begin,/Every actor SHOULD
have a followers collection. This is where one would find a list of
all the actors that are following the actor./
The second:
* In section 7.5 "Follow Activity", the second paragraph is incorrect,
and should be removed.
This is a call for consensus for adding these two errata to our errata
page for ActivityPub:
https://www.w3.org/wiki/ActivityPub_errata
If, in 14 days, we have no objections on the list, the errata will be
added. I'll also apply the changes described to the "editor's draft" of
the document.
Evan
