This is probably a good time to start talking about standard URI scheme

[Nat Sakimura]

I have been pitching this to some folks for sometime, but I think we 
should standardize on the URI scheme for each specifications. Chris also 
had the same message.

Currently, the Authn 2.0 uses http://specs.openid.net/auth/2.0 as ns and 
spec is
stored at http://openid.net/specs/openid-authentication-2_0.html

AX1.0 uses http://openid.net/srv/ax/1.0 as ns and spec is
stored at http://openid.net/specs/openid-attribute-exchange-1_0.html

etc.

I can point out two issues.

(1) ns and spec location mismatch
(2) seemingly random ns

For the specs to come, I would like to propose the following scheme.

http://openid.net/specs/<spec_name_abbrv>/<spec_version>/

For example, if it were applied to Auth 2.0,

http://openid.net/specs/auth/2.0/

Note the trailing slash.

Other examples:

http://openid.net/specs/ab/1.0/
http://openid.net/specs/jwt/1.0/
http://openid.net/specs/pape/1.1/

etc.

Cheers,

Nat Sakimura

Dear OSL folks,

Can you please create these three new specification subtrees on svn.openid.net:
                 specifications/artifact_binding/1.0
                 specifications/json_web_token/1.0
                 specifications/oauth/2.0
These people should have write access to the first two repositories:
                 Mike Jones         mbj at microsoft.com<mailto:mbj at microsoft.com>
                 John Bradley      ve7jtb at ve7jtb.com<mailto:ve7jtb at ve7jtb.com>
                 Nat Sakimura     n-sakimura at nri.co.jp<mailto:n-sakimura at nri.co.jp>
Only I should have write access to the third one (oauth/2.0).

Also, sometime since I was last working on the Provider Authentication Policy Extension (PAPE) specification, my password or account on the host  openid.net was reset.  My userid there is "mbj".  Can you please reset my password and call me at (425) 985-8916 to tell me the new one.  I need to be able to log in to write content to the http://openid.net/specs/ directory, which when I last did it was at the location /var/www/openid.net/docs/specs.

Thanks a bunch!

                                                                 -- Mike

                                                                 OAuth 2.0 Bearer Token spec editor
                                                                 JSON Web Token spec editor
                                                                 OpenID Artifact Binding committee member
