The Solid Team, headed by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, provides an organisational umbrella for facilitating a strong open source community in support of Solid. This repository contains work of the Solid Team to meet the needs of the [Solid Project](https://solidproject.org/).

The Solid Team is a group of volunteers tasked with representing the Solid Project in an official capacity. It engages in activities that foster the spread and adoption of the Solid protocol.

## Participation

All substantive contributors must be members of the Solid Team. It’s easy to [join the Solid Team](https://github.com/solid/process) if you’d like to contribute with any role.

The Solid Team has a (member-only) [chat](https://gitter.im/solid/team).

The Solid Team holds meetings at https://meet.jit.si/solid-team on every second Wednesday of the month at 15:00 UTC. Meetings are transcribed and [published](https://github.com/solid/team/tree/main/meetings/). Additional team meetings may be created, in which case Solid Team members will be notified via calendar invitation and in the Solid Team chat.

# Create a Better Onboarding Experience for Developers

## Responsibilities

# Migrate SolidCommunity.net server from NSS to CSS

## Responsibilities

Currently, [SolidCommunity.net](https://solidcommunity.net/) is running on [NSS](https://github.com/nodeSolidServer/node-solid-server). This work changes the server from NSS to [CSS](https://github.com/CommunitySolidServer/CommunitySolidServer/). We intend the aesthetics of the UI to be the only effect of this change on the users of SolidCommunity.net. Certain components, such as WAC, will be unchanged.

# Converting SolidProject.org to RDF

## Responsibilities

SolidProject.org currently uses Jekyl and GitHub. We want to create an RDF-based site so that we're dogfooding our own technology. Perhaps the best change would be creating one, RDF-based source of truth for information like Solid Team members, and apps listed on the apps page. We would also want to establish a technical process for people to propose new information to pages and for the Solid team to review it.

Note: this change would not affect the hosting of the Solid Specification on GitHub, unless spec members want it to.
