Discussion: Should Open Problems Page Contain our Roadmaps

There was confusion about what the open problems page should contain. These are the two current options (further ideas welcome ;)): wdyt? @oskarth @staheri14 @s1fr0 @jm-clius

Separate Open Problems

The open problems page only lists open research problems whose solutions are helpful for us, but can be separated out. These Problem's results should not be strictly necessary and should not introduce blockers for us.

Process:

only list separated topics on the "open problems page"
put a link to our respective roadmap for each research area on the research areas page
add section to open research problems page, that there are further open problems we are actively researching, which can be browsed on research areas page

Here is a PR starting with this approach: #87

I prefer this approach.

Open Problems Contains Roamaps

The open problems page contains all open problems, including the problems we are working on / plan to work on. This would mean incorporating the roadmap issues, as well as (parts of) the vac-overview and Waku v2 plan into the open problems page.

(I was not aware of this option at first, so I was confused in the discussion of #72)

We are going with a "soft" version of Separate Open Problems, meaning we add roadmap issues to the open problems if we see fit. #87 started adding links to roadmaps.
