Session #2

Attendees:

• Name (Organization) <email>
• James Ebert (Indicio) <james.ebert@indicio.tech>
• Mostafa Youssef (Ontario) <mostafa.youssef@ontario.ca>

Agenda:

  • Work item to experiment / RFC creation
  • We don't want to hardcode / lock to wallets – splintering of wallets
• Lanugage Discussions, Indy wrappers, Shared Libraries

        • Exposed as a service
      • Pluggable State management – not required
        • More modular ideally
      • Remove the state management out of Bifold Core
        • Reference Implementation needs state management
  • How do you customize a component
    • We should crawl > walk > run – start with simpler cases as we learn more and then slowly add more complexity
  • I'm trying to create a wallet from Bifold components, what does that look like?
  • Workflows
    • Pull out the workflow/logic to the app logic
  • How do we ensure we maintain/update the reference implementation
    • We need to make a commitment to keeping
    • Project/goal statement
