This is the Git repository containing Fediverse Enhancment Proposals (FEPs).
2020-10-16 14:05:03 +02:00
A Fediverse Enhancement Proposal (FEP) is a document that provides information to the Fediverse community. The goal of a FEP is to improve interoperability and well-being of diverse services, applications and communities that form the Fediverse.

The FEP Process is an initiative of the [SocialHub ](https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks ) developer community, a liaison of the [W3C Social Web Incubator Community Group ](https://www.w3.org/community/SocialCG/ ). For ongoing and past discussion see the [SocialHub FEP category ](https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/c/standards/fep/54 ).

## Submitting a FEP
2020-10-05 19:37:20 +02:00
2020-10-16 14:05:03 +02:00
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:
2023-04-05 19:41:34 +00:00
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:
2020-10-16 14:05:03 +02:00
```
2020-11-25 17:39:53 +01:00
$ echo -n "The title of my proposal" | sha256sum | cut -c-4
b3f0
2020-10-16 14:05:03 +02:00
```
2023-07-19 14:40:31 +00:00
4. Create a subdirectory of [`fep/` ](./fep/ ) using the identifier you just computed.
2023-07-05 09:17:05 +02:00
5. Copy the FEP template ([fep-xxxx-template.md ](./fep-xxxx-template.md )) to this subdirectory and change the filename appropriately.
2023-07-06 14:26:44 +02:00
6. Use the identifer as the "slug" when filling out the frontmatter.
2023-07-05 09:17:05 +02:00
- 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.
