Relevant Chat log:
- Sharada Strasmore to Everyone (12:34 PM)
- Is there a way to confirm that all companies have received a policy? That’s the reason I send an email asking for confirmation
- Me to Everyone (12:34 PM)
- FYI: the FAQ commit content likely won’t be a PR, since it’s going into the wiki not the MDS spec, but the commit allows comments and feedback before the more final version is pulled back into the wiki page.
- Sharada Strasmore to Everyone (12:34 PM)
- ESP. In emergency situations
- Me to Everyone (12:36 PM)
- Good question Sharada, there is not way built into MDS that sends some kind of confirmation that they got the updated Policy activity. So external communication is needed.
- Matt Davis (Populus, he/him) to Everyone (12:36 PM)
- I’d prefer this not be in the wiki in order to facilitate this kind of discussion. I don’t think Github wiki’s have many facilities for comments.
- William Henderson (Ride Report, he/him) to Everyone (12:37 PM)
- +1
- [editor’s note: we may move it to the OMF governance repo]
- [talking about heartbeat]
- William Henderson (Ride Report, he/him) to Everyone (12:44 PM)
- It is contained in Agency, just not Provider
- Me to Everyone (12:45 PM)
- Provider does have last_event_time, but it’s meant for when an event changes.
- Neil Goldader (E&A) to Everyone (12:51 PM)
- It feels like this is trying to solve a data quality issue where events are not being sent accurately.
- Matt Davis (Populus, he/him) to Everyone (12:53 PM)
- No, for us this is more about wanting to be able to differentiate vehicles that are sitting idle from vehicles that have left the PROW without an event.
- William Henderson (Ride Report, he/him) to Everyone (1:00 PM)
- Not in Vehicles endpoint plz
- William Henderson (Ride Report, he/him) to Everyone (1:00 PM)
- Policy is designed around status, seems really problematic to have policy-impacted data outside of status
- Matt Davis (Populus, he/him) to Everyone (1:01 PM)
- Def needed in status changes, not sure about /vehicles
- William Henderson (Ride Report, he/him) to Everyone (1:01 PM)
- To clarify, I’m fine with it going in vehicles as long as it is not just there
