There are comments from @philbarker that may still need attention.

• Q: Is the plan to move all the properties of Occupation from pending to
  core, or just the Class? (It looks like some but not all properties turn
  red)
  • A: yes, we did.
• Q: How do skills https://webschemas.org/skills relate to the common
  definition of competence (which centers on "knowledge, skills and
  abilities")? Dis-aggregating competences into constituent elements could
  be tricky.
  • A: to be discussed.
• If https://webschemas.org/experienceRequirements is "Description of
  skills and experience needed for the position or Occupation" do the
  skills go in two places?
  • to be discussed
• educationRequirements
  https://pending.webschemas.org/educationRequirements and
  qualifications https://pending.webschemas.org/qualifications seem very
  similar. I get the 'background' vs 'specific qualification' distinction,
  but are there many educationRequirements that wouldn't require some form
  of qualification as evidence?
  • A: to be discussed

I have added #1607 to the candidate list. Plus a comment on #1606 that should be easy to review and update before then adding to the list.

[danbri]

maybe https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/issues/2170 too

regarding DefinedTerm etc., it is a substantial sub-vocabulary, I'd like to see signs that it is being consumed somewhere.

[RichardWallis]

#1606 closed after discussion

[danbri]

Ok, I have made a pass through the issues above (thanks, @RichardWallis). Many are merged in (I've ticked them off inline in the Github comment). Some need more time and consideration.

[danbri]

For future releases, let's require every pullrequest to include text for docs/releases.html. This time around I'll do it, but it will help with keeping up momentum if that work can be distributed.

Placeholder for 3.7: we need to look again at GeoShape properties like 'box', it seems the ordering of lat-then-long is not made clear enough (unless digging into the ancestor schemas at rNews etc).
