@evan some time ago you queried about what would be a good comms channel for #ActivityPub API.

@evan some time ago you queried about what would be a good comms channel for #ActivityPub API.
I have some ideas / recommendations on the #Github repo that the #W3C TF uses.
- Structure the repo to hold the work of the full task force, not just for the creation of a single specification document.
- Use GH Discussions for all the general elaboration, feedback collection, etc. The repo forms a self-contained body of work. Move most current Issues in the tracker to become Discussions.
- Issues are created by task force members, and always represent actionable items. They are tracked on a Project kanban board where the swimlanes represent a simple protocol development #Process with a number of stages.
Then:
- Primary comms channel is Discussions.
- Issues + kanban represent work tracks.
- Secondary comms channel can be #fedi.I'd reserve #SocialCG mailing list to #governance and organizational matters concerning the CG itself, and point mails on other subject to appropriate channel.

@smallcircles I'm not sure. It's pretty important for me to track user stories as issues -- that's been the best way to get things done in task forces so far.

@evan is it an official list, or is it a brainstormed list in an ideation phase?

Note that my proposal reserves the issue tracker for the 'best way to get things done', and filters out the much more chaotic discussion environment to be in a separate place, yet part of the repo.
If User Stories should be issue tracked, that's fine. But perhaps when a user story is still a vague idea, or something someone posted off the cuff, it starts its lifecycle in Discussions.

I gave an elaborate follow-up to the #ActivityPub API protocol design issue, where I also cross-ref'ed this thread..
Protocol design · Issue #66 · swicg/activitypub-api
(This issue is created in follow-up of #63 Avoid misconception and #4 Rate limiting, and related fedi thread.) Avoiding misconceptions: What is a profile? I think my overarching concern is that the ActivityPub API specification doesn't b...

@smallcircles OK, great. Let's try to keep the conversations there instead of here, so everyone can participate.
