tantek hey #social, in many SWWG discussions of specs and documents and what degree of changes we can make in CRs etc. we have asked questions about affecting conformance or not, in practice or not etc. and I think this section of the W3C process (6.2.5) provides a good segmentation of different kinds of changes: https://w3c.github.io/w3process/#correction-classes (4 classes of changes)

sandro cwebber, how's the test suite...?  I think you said you'd be ready for help if it wasn't done at this point....
# 20:01 
cwebber hi hi sandro
# 20:01 
cwebber sandro: it's near done!
# 20:01 
cwebber sandro: it'll def be ready by next tuesday.
# 20:04 
sandro Do you want help anyway?
# 20:08 
cwebber sandro: one thing you could help with today is trying to submit PRs for some of the ActivityPub open issues.  tomorrow or thursday if you'd like to help click through the test suite and make sure everything looks right would help a lot
# 20:10 
cwebber but the PR stuff would help me out immensely
# 20:11 
cwebber since I'd also like to get the next CR out by Tuesday
# 20:12 
sandro By " submit PRs for some of the ActivityPub open issues " you mean propose edits to the spec that obviously follow from looking at how those issues were resolved?
# 20:12 
cwebber yes
# 20:12 
cwebber that would be so helpful
# 20:13 
cwebber I think the stuff in the test suite is nearly there, it's mostly data entry, so I could ask you to help but it's really so little left that I might as well just wrap it up tonight
# 20:13 
cwebber and it would take less getting you up to speed with what's a giant pile of DSL
# 20:14 
sandro okay, I'll see if I can do it or find someone who can (planning on asking Amy and Evan, trying out some EvanCoin)
# 20:14 
cwebber these last tests have been so easy now that it's prompt'y
# 20:14 
cwebber feel free to ask Evan for the ActivityPub evancoins he offered me
# 20:14 
cwebber since I haven't gotten around to setting that up
# 20:16 
cwebber https://gitlab.com/dustyweb/pubstrate/blob/8sync-fibers/pubstrate/aptestsuite.scm#L1734 all thse "question-and-answer" tests are so much easier to write
# 20:16 
cwebber I can just type check-in over and over and put in the questions
# 20:17 
cwebber as opposed to the migraine of all the code I had where I was trying to "observe" what was happening after asking the user to perform a bunch of tasks
