  • Wishlist / Goals?
    • (all assigned)
  • Done / Almost Done
    • Features that may not be necessary - patrik
    • reverting .1 and .2
    • Removal of any reference to payments.
  • DIDComm v2 conversion
    • Smaller changes may mean faster adoption
    • negotiation pulled out into a sibling protocol - (nobody using negotation? Subhasis referenced use.)
      • propose message moves to different family.
    • Document the short-circuted use of the protocol that starts at issuance directly, depending on needs of credential type.
    • we need to be careful not to match protocol to UX human steps on a 1 to 1 basis
    • abandoned state - if a user declines to present, what should happen between the holder and verifier?
      • problem report sent (or no message, see below) on decline - should be documented
    • explicit 'no' messages instead of a problem report when it's an explicit no, instead of an error.
    • document use of timeout for offers (didcomm v2 friendly, perhaps a field within the protocol.
  • After DIDComm v2 conversion
    • return of supplements
      • credential chains
      • OCA / ux
      • needs a re-think
        • hashlinks
        • signatures?
    • different protocols for different credential types? (needs discussion)
      • make sibling protocols for each credential type instead of being universal?
    • offers that sit for a long time at the holder
      • documenting a timeout for the offer.
      • use of timing in thread decorator
    • Removal of any reference to payments.
    • preview model doesn't work for vc data model creds. could allow an unsigned version of the credential being issued.
    • nobody using negotation? Subhasis referenced use.
    • cred def reference - did:indy and language that makes clear DIDs can (should?) be used.
      • requirements for DID methods that resolve to cred related assets
  • Deferred / Maybe NeverAfter DIDComm v2 conversion
    • return of supplements
    make sibling protocols for each credential type instead of being universal?
    • Different protocols for different sections?negotiation
      
      • offer/request
      • actual issuance
