Horizontal Review for DID v1.1 #885
<ottomorac> w3c/
manu: We discussed that we need to do horizontal reviews for DID Resolution and also new version of DID Core.
manu: Sharing my screen..
manu: For horizontal review, we need a few things. One is Explainer document, to explain what we do on a high level. We had created one six years ago that is fine, but probably needed an update.
manu: I created a new Explainer document, using ChatGPT's new research mode, based on the spec.
manu: I did go through the document and hand-edited every line and paragraph.
manu: One interesting thing was that the LLM did a really good job. This is "research mode". ChatGPT crunches for 45 min. It did a good job summarizing the sections, based on our latest specification.
manu: The Explainer is done. I suggest we try this for DID Resolution as well, unless the editors want to do it manually.
manu: I raised Horizontal Review with the Internationalization group, so there is an issue now on their tracker. It mentions that we're not changing much compared to what they reviewed before. We'd like a response before TPAC.
manu: The other review that was raised is for Accessibility.
manu: And I raised the TAG Design Review
manu: Haven't raised PING Review and Security Review yet.
manu: We don't have access to that Google doc anymore, need to find out who owns that Google doc and can give access.
manu: I'll wait a week or two to see if someone has access to that document, otherwise we'll recreate them from scratch.
ottomorac: Good job manu
