NOTE: I'm done working on /WebOfTrustInfo/self-sovereign-identity for now.

My efforts to organize SSI thought have relocated to /awesome-decentralized-id/self-sovereign-identity/ for the time being, which will become a much more expansive resource than this. From there, I intend to study and collect all of the SSI resources. Once the best are found, cataloged, and produced, as necessary, I'll come back here and work on a distilled version.

In the mean-time I hope to collaborate with anyone who will be interested to discuss and sort through available resources on Self-Sovereign-Identity.
