## Submitting a FEP
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Do you have an idea, opinion or information that you want to share with the wider Fediverse community? You may do so with a Fediverse Enhancement Proposal (FEP).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To create and submit a FEP:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Fork this repository, and then clone it to your local machine. Check the Codeberg [Cheat sheet](https://docs.codeberg.org/collaborating/pull-requests-and-git-flow/#cheat-sheet) on how to prepare your Pull Request.
|
||
|
|
2. Think of a title for the FEP you want to submit.
|
||
|
|
3. Compute the identifier of the FEP by computing the hash of the title. This can be done with following Unix command:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ echo -n "The title of my proposal" | sha256sum | cut -c-4
|
||
|
|
b3f0
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
4. Create a subdirectory of `fep/`(fep/) using the identifier you just computed.
|
||
|
|
5. Copy the FEP template ([fep-xxxx-template.md](./fep-xxxx-template.md)) to this subdirectory and change the filename appropriately.
|
||
|
|
6. Use the identifer as the "slug" when filling out the frontmatter.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- For example, if your computed identifier was `abcd`, then your file would be located at `fep/abcd/fep-abcd.md` and your frontmatter would include `slug: "abcd"`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
7. Write down your idea in the newly created file and commit it to a new branch in your repository (ex. fep-xxxx).
|
||
|
|
8. Create a Pull Request to complete Step 1 of [FEP-a4ed: The Fediverse Enhancement Proposal Process](./feps/fep-a4ed.md). Further process is described in FEP-a4ed.
|

## Editors
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The list of FEP's is facilitated by Editors who are listed in the [EDITORS.md](EDITORS.md) file. Editors are neutral custodians of the FEP process, who merge PR's, create tracking issues, and start discussion threads for each FEP in the [SocialHub](https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks) developer community forum.
