Re: WebID 1.0 Editors Draft

Hi all,

I understand that some editors prefer a PR-based process. However, the extent
of the changes that we are discussing requires an organic revision of the
entire document, something which I am personally unable to approach through
issue-specific PRs - particularly when issues affect one another. Furthermore,
I find mailing lists to be a more inclusive and neutral medium.

My plan is to gather enough feedback through this list to produce a single,
cohesive, organic PR upon which the community would then be able to comment and
discuss further changes, with most of the work happening before opening the PR
itself.

> 1. The Editor must be able to edit the spec

That would be ideal, although I would also be happy working on my own fork of
the repository.

2. Substantive changes must go to the mailing list and allow objections

Fully agree. 

3. Objecters should be satisfied before publishing a new 1.x doc

Fully agree. Of course, this comes at the risk of the mediating and editing
effort becoming unsustainable, which I suspect might have happened in the past.
Nonetheless, I believe it is the best course of action and it is also the one
I am most comfortable with.

Best regards,
Jacopo.
