Post vs. Ping to shared data space + assigning graph names about solid-spec

[melvincarvalho]

SoLiD can make use of either pattern. Personally I am reminded in programming of "call by value" and "call by reference". Most functions in most programming languages can handle either. Each pattern being useful in different situations. In general, in standards a good rule of thumb is "dont restrict unless you need to". @elf-pavlik do you have a strong personal preference, in this respect? Is there anything we could implement in SoLiD to make life easier?

So far I see one serious issue with Ping based approach (inc. webmention). If resource has ACL, the system receiving a ping will simply not have possibility to access that particular resource :S Ping could include some special token (eg. Bearer) in a payload but then Web Access Control would need to support such special cases.

@elf-pavlik see http://indiewebcamp.com/private-webmention for how I'm thinking of handling access-controlled content with webmention

@aaronpk thx! where we can have an async conversation about private-webmention? Maybe https://github.com/converspace/webmention/issues ping @fkooman

Closing, the discussion seems to be out of scope for the current Solid project. If there are action items or a concrete proposal here that I've missed, please open an issue on solid/issues.
