Re: [Jmap] Auth schemes for JMAP Contacts/Calendars

[Joris Baum <[e-mail]>]

Hi Robert,

that already gives me quite a good overview! Thanks.

However, I am still a bit confused what you mean by "spec" and "draft".
The way I understand it the "specs" are what lives on
https://jmap.io/spec.html and is what is supposed to be implemented by
client developers (like us), while the IETF "drafts" are still heavily
WIP and will gradually merge into https://jmap.io/spec.html in the
coming months. Now, you mentioned "JSContact spec drafts". However,
there is currently no mention of JSContact at jmap.io . Could you
clarify a bit?

Regards,

Joris
