Updates on spec-related activities in the forum

Well, I started to search for webid authentication, and both Google and Wikipedia redirect to this document: https://github.com/solid/webid-oidc-spec

Side note: Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebID) puts a lot of emphasis on the legacy webid-tls, which I think is not great to convince the non-solid web world that we are using the same tools as them, with oauth, oidc, tokens, …

I would see some quick fixes:

I guess it’s the same thing for all the other specs / panels. For instance, the WAC spec (http://solid.github.io/web-access-control-spec) could link to the https://github.com/solid/authorization-and-access-control-panel . There are frequent discussions about “how do I request a permission with my app?” that are asked here but in the scope of the authz panel, and I have the feeling that the WAC spec is read more than the authz panel draft https://github.com/solid/authorization-and-access-control-panel/blob/master/privilege-request-protocol.md

The first time I heard about the panel was on Security Advisory: May 15, 2020
