Incorporate feedback from TWIM discussion
...
This article received some good feedback from #twim:matrix.org in
Matrix. Some clarifications I made:
- @cos:hacklab.fi mentioned that Element/Synapse are open-source; I
opened the article by mentioning that FOSS alone isn't enough and
added a note on their complexity to the matrix/element case-study
- @sorunome:sorunome.de mentioned that there is no "reference
implementation" of Matrix; I rephrased a sentence to state that
Element "practically serves as the reference client implementation".
- Clarify that Element builds "most of" the spec instead of being in
charge of it; the Spec Core Team (SCT) is a different entity but is
made mostly of Element employees.
- Changed leaving implementations out of decisions to leaving
implementation feasibility out of decisions.
