Thank you @elf-pavlik for taking the minutes again, super helpful
Perhaps we could pop the minutes on each weeks This Week in Solid and a note on the details for the next call?

@michielbdejong re difference between panels#app-authorization and editors#authorization -- I think just the former's a narrower scope. and the latter's a superset (all sorts of authorization, /including/ app authz)

Check out the next edition of This Week in Solid. Congratulations to the editor appointments @dmitrizagidulin@dmitrizagidulin@kjetilk and great that there have already been editorial reviews! If you could update the details here that would be great. Also if you are part of a project or panel please do feel free to add a summary in natural language for next week to make the link dump a little more digestible. Importantly if you are on a panel and would like to submit a proposal for review make sure to add it here to kick start the editorial review process.
@dmitrizagidulin Right! Good point. authorization encompasses authorization of (roughly) users + apps + bots, and our panel is only about the second one, but our editor team is about all of them. I’ll at least document for each panel who the editors are.

@solid-pay , solidest.space has beeen captured by bandits.
I'm tinkering with a pod I've created on solid.community via the web interface and am wondering how to delete files. or is this meant to be append only?

@justinwb
no you can delete through the web ui
Stefan Junker
@steveeJ
@justinwb thanks, I just found the hidden delete button :-D
it only appears when i hover over it
Justin Bingham
@justinwb
yep - there’s a bit of hidden functionality for some of those operations
similarly a way to upload a file into a container is to drag it onto the green plus
Stefan Junker
@steveeJ
is this specific to the pod server implementation?
Justin Bingham
@justinwb
partly - it is the default ui for node-solid-server, but you could also run it from any server implementation as the default ui (so it isn’t necessarily tied 1:1)
there’s a bunch of work happening now to make it a bit more user friendly
but you’re also free to run a different one altogether if you choose
Stefan Junker
@steveeJ
I'm trying to understand the architecture. so solid.community serves the UI which is hardcoded to use a specific pod server?
I have been thinking of writing a pod server in Rust. maybe it'll be useful, but the motivation would be to learn what a pod server is about in detail
I can't even estimate how ambitious this would be at this point
Justin Bingham
@justinwb
it’d be great to see a rust implementation - plenty of people here to support you in different ways if you’re interested in doing that
Stefan Junker
@steveeJ
I have almost no experience in frontend development, so if the UI could be an external dependency that'd be encouraging ;-)
