Welcome! This repo is home to "explainers" and related documents originating from the Microsoft Identity Standards team.
Explainers are documents focused on describing a user/ developer/ customer problem (at a high level) and exploring potential solutions. These documents are starting points for engaging in discussion with you and other members of the community. Explainers should address their stated problems in clear and easy to understand language. Proposed solutions should be easy to follow and not too deep in technical details. When you read an explainer, we hope the stated problem is compelling and you can form an opinion for whether the proposed solution would address the problem.
We are looking for feedback! Are the stated problems relevant to you? How have they impacted your experience? Do the proposed solutions seem reasonable? Do they follow good web principles? Would they solve a problem you currently have? (We love to hear that; tell us more about your scenario!) Do you have related use-cases we hadn't considered?
We appreciate you taking the time to offer feedback; it helps to improve the explainers, validate the problem and solutions they describe, and show evidence that there is potential momentum to move an idea to the next stage. We desire to see all our explainers make the journey to become cross-browser supported web standards.
Start a new issue here, or join in the discussion on existing issues. We also welcome PRs on the explainer documents themselves. Note: we use labels to filter the issues to specific explainers.
These are the proposals we are currently investigating in this repo. Use the links below to read the explainers, review the current issues, and file new issues specifically for the given explainer(s). We hope they will all "graduate" and begin their journey along the standards-track as they gain sufficient interest; each explainer has a "status of this document" section that indicates what standards venue they expect to go to next (if known).
