Milestone 5 "spec text development"

[michielbdejong]

Write a proper Internet Draft, submit to IETF

[michielbdejong]

I think we should probably write four specs:

• client instance discovery for GNAP
• end user discovery for GNAP
• resource notifications for GNAP
• Open Cloud Mesh (putting it all together but adding as little as possible original content in itself)

[michielbdejong]

We should also research how the fediverse does client instance discovery and end user discovery.

Lots of new thoughts since last week. No need to add a dependency on GNAP I think, since OCM is really somewhere between authorization and fediverse. I think we can write a single spec that first describes the strictest version that everyone should support, and then add extensions from there.

Rough idea for sections:

• creating a share, using httpsig+bearer tokens
• other / multiple protocols, extra (legacy) fields
• dynamic client registration, discovery (/.well-known/ocm, /ocm-provider, DNS SRV)
• recipient user/group discovery, invites
• flows
• accept/reject/revoke notifications
• reshare notifications

I did some work on this today in #103. Will continue tomorrow.

I'm now trying to split this up into smaller, reviewable PRs - will add to this list as I progress:

• #109

I think this can be closed for good, after having published the IETF draft!
