As a first call, I would like to invite everyone to take a look at the PR concerning the Solid CG Charter (note: this is different from the WG’s one).*

The charter aims to:

  • Simplify the process.
  • Representative of current working practice.
  • Ensure openness and transparency.
  • Be approachable as well as informative to newcomers.

It is intended to supersede the process outlined in solid/process (README). The current process in general is:

  • Outdated and does not reflect reality.
  • Complicated and convoluted.
  • Dependent roles (such as the “Editors Team”) have been inadequate and inactive for a number of years.

This charter is written in accordance with the W3C Process and aims to remain compatible as much as possible.

*Legend
PR = GitHub Pull Request
CG = the W3C Solid Community Group
WG = the W3C Solid Working Group
W3C = the World Wide Web Consortium

To anyone still wanting to comment on the upcoming Solid CG Charter: this is a last call! Tomorrow, any still unresolved issues will be discussed during the W3C Solid Community Group meeting. Having reached consensus, the approved charter will be merged on August 8th, and go into effect September 1st.
