Desirable Properties Challenge
Welcome to the Desirable Properties Challenge
Workgroup: DP16 - Roadmap and Milestones
The properties you help refine today become the requirements and architectural decisions that guide how the Overweb – and the broader Meta-Layer – gets built:
Your mission
We are glad you are here. You bring experience and a critical lens that this challenge needs.
Your workgroup is helping refine one or more Desirable Properties – the community-defined qualities a trustworthy Meta-Layer must possess before we lock in protocols. Getting the “what” right is the community’s first and most important architectural decision.
What we ask of you
- Read your assigned Desirable Property chapter(s) on the book (book.desirableproperties.org).
- Review for clarity, context, and completeness.
- Discuss on the book – chapter comments are live now (Canopi on each chapter).
- Patch on Gov Hub – select a passage in the draft and submit specific suggested text revisions, not just general feedback. (Passage-level patching on the book is coming; use Gov Hub for patches today.)
- Participate in workgroup discussion as community feedback arrives from the book and Gov Hub.
Time & deadline
- August 10, 2026 – Community review begins. Plan 1–3 hours per Desirable Property for a thorough review.
- September 1, 2026 – Workgroup synthesis (v1.0 editorial window).
- September 16, 2026 – The Layered Web and monument launch.
