From 6a581fec255be294bf2d4e959094c3977e25993e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "L. David Baron" Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2018 14:09:58 -0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Add the most active issues as "under consideration". These issues seem worth trying to resolve first, and as part of being more public about that discussion, I'm going to explicitly list them as "under consideration" and reference their issues. This will thus link to #58, #27, #24, and #19. It also happens to include the first links to caniuse (the "ciuName" field being non-null). Note that activities.py normalized some whitespace in a prior entry added in #53. (I should figure out why it's always adding a space at the end of the line, but that's a separate issue. Until then, I'd rather keep the file matching the way activities.py regenerates it rather than having to hand-edit every time to avoid changing those lines.) --- activities.json | 59 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 57 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/activities.json b/activities.json index d48cf06d..1aba7d01 100644 --- a/activities.json +++ b/activities.json @@ -4,12 +4,12 @@ "description": "This document specifies how a server can send an HTTP request/ response pair, known as an exchange, with signatures that vouch for that exchange's authenticity.
