Link to the spec from more than one place, but certaijly the Developer.
Maybe make it a top level menu item.

I just came here to report this exact same issue!

It seems there is no link from any of the pages on https://solidproject.org to https://solidproject.org/TR/protocol.

Even though the 'About Solid' page says 'Solid is a specification', there is no hyperlink there, and it's pretty hard to get from there to the actual specification.

The shortest path I found was to click 'Community' on the top right, then 'Go to Community Group', then 'Solid Technical Reports', then work item 'Solid Protocol'.

Indeed, let's add a big "Read the spec" button on the 'For developers' page.

And actually even https://solidproject.org/specification does not link directly to https://solidproject.org/TR/protocol
