Could you elaborate on exactly what you would use Verifiable Claims
(VCs) for?

At a first glance of your use cases, it seems like you could use them for:

1. DID-based authentication + login (SSO for the Web).
2. Digital Wallet for personal data storage (only Verifiable Claims for
   now).
3. User preferences (as VCs)
4. GDPR compliance (VCs are stored in personal data repository).
5. HTTP Signatures using DID-based identifiers/keys for bulk downloads
   of subscribed resources (tangentially related to VCs)

To be clear, most of this work is experimental and is happening in the
Credentials Community Group. That said, if there are enough folks from
your community that are willing to put in the work, we're chartered to
work on education-related use cases so can pick up the work almost
immediately.

The real issue moving forward would be people to work on the problem. In
any case, +1 to bringing all of you in and seeing if there is synergy
here. It's up to the Chairs to decide if/when that happens.
