Thank you so much for your encouraging words, SJ! I am still trying to figure out how to proceed, and it depends on how the proposal is received (so please, take a look and vote!). As I said previously, I also have talked with people at the Foundation to see what can be done to turn this from a silly Denny-idea to a proper project, and all the feedback on the material so far has been super useful. I am not sure if we should start with the P1.1 - which has a number of legal and trademark considerations and would benefit from the Foundation already be committed - but P1.2 is certainly something where we could start.
Regarding the abstracttext code base, I am super happy to see already people making it easier to dockerize (Thank you Arthur!) and fixing errors in the spec (Thank you Lucas!), which is awesome. I still feel very wary about offering a publicly editable instance due to the security issues, but I am thinking about having a read-only public instance or a restricted-write public instance. I am not sure how we could drive it on Wikispore, given that it needs so much additional software, and it would be rather unwise to add abstracttext to Wikispore I guess. Did you have something in mind? Again, thank you! Denny On Tue, May 5, 2020 at 4:44 PM Samuel Klein <[email protected]> wrote: > Great! The time seems right.
