- https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-framework-javascript/discussions/1586
- Org migrations should be done with a transfer of the repo
- maintains links & commit history
- Move is far better than a fork.
- Should discuss which components would be moved simultaneously
- Probably at least Bifold and Askar
- What to do with the RFCs?
- Interoperability: are .Net and Go implementations still interoperable with the latest RFCs and interop suite?
- .Net already moved to OWF
- OWF policy: maintainers are in charge of the repositories and decisions (same as in Hyperledger)
- AJF would probably be the most mature wallet framework, so OWF would have an incentive to promote and market it
