Hello Martin, I think you did a great job of summing up our design principles for the design spec, I have nothing to add there, but maybe we should keep a copy of these somewhere ?

 

Maybe it's a good thing to also write down a bit of the design philosophy/principles for version 1.0 of the WEMI spec, or i? I can imagine something like this (I think most of them from consenus in the group?:

• We strive for the KISS principle
• We try to design as simple as possible, but not simpler than that
• Implementation of a WEMI consumer should be not too hard
• Implementation of a simple WEMI consumer should be really easy and straightforward for a relatively inexperienced developer
• We try to build an simple 1.0 version of the standard instead of trying to cram every usecase on earth in it
• We try to provide use cases for most of the spec features
• We introduce extensibility only when we decide that there are too many strong use cases that are too complex to have in a 1.0 version of the standard, but we want to support them anyway.
• We try to create examples, proof of concepts and implementations as soon as possible to progress our understandig
