Workshop task

Split into three groups:

• Community concerns
• Developer impact
• Traffic attribution

Discuss your topic as a group and use the post-its to document, then nominate someone to give a 2-3 min summary of your discussion.

Group 1: Community concerns

Explore potential areas of concern or risk, thinking about what we need to do to ensure we meet the expectations of the community.

• What potential concerns do you have with this work?
• How should we address these concerns?
• What are community expectations around responsible use?
• How do we make sure we meet these expectations?

Group 2: Developer impact

Explore the technical considerations around implementing authentication, including the impact it has on tools and developers.

• What authentication methods should we support?
• What is your preferred authentication method?
• What impact does requiring auth have on developers?
• Are there any situations where auth is not desirable?

Group 3: Traffic attribution

Discuss the proposed attribution groups and whether they provide an appropriate basis for rate limiting programmatic access.

• What attribution should be required to get a higher limit?
• Can we achieve attribution without requiring authentication?
• Should rate limits apply to applications or individual users?
• What rate limits are appropriate for each level of access?
