Regarding FEDERATION.md and automation. This is hard because the document is hard to access in a machine readable format. If people want to see this to happen, it would be useful to update the fep-67ff implementation list with lists to the raw markdown document (which is much easier to parse).

If somebody does this, one could extract the sections mentioned in Tempalte.

For more details see here and if somebody is interested in doing this work, please mention me there.

Thanks for the compliments.

The integration into the main repository will happen on November 1st, see the corresponding pull request.

If I wasn't already exhausted by the process, I would say it's the best time to make suggestions on how to improve the entire thing. It still is! However, there's a good chance that things requiring work (unless showstopper type), will be postponed to "later".

I am a fan of starter packs on BlueSky, Threads and Mastodon's iterations on it are all for the better in my book.

My one note: i'm pretty sure from my read of it that this offering and this #FEP will be fediverse-wide and not Mastodon-only. Which makes it even cooler, if so. #fediforum

What I loved to see in the #ActivityPub documentation is the inclusion of the list of Fediverse Enhancement Proposals #FEP's that are implemented. It will serve a stimulus for other #fediverse devs to adopt them too, and shape the grassroots standardization process. Posted the list to #SocialHub too..

https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/bonfire-social-1-0rc3-is-released/8071

Also nudging to add #Bonfire as implementation in FEP docs..

Good morning Fediverse.

The FEP static site is nearing completion. The preview is available at https://helge.codeberg.page/fep/.

The pull request is at https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/pulls/673.

If you have feedback, now is the time to submit it.

Does anyone know if Open Reads on Android can be used as an app for BookWyrm or NeoDB? If not, how much work would it take on each end to make live data sharing between them work? Could there be an FEP in this?

"Many of these [Zot/Nomad] ]ideas are being ported to ActivityPub in the form of Fediverse Enhancement Proposals (FEPs).

... Streams ... is working with Mitra to create the first implementation of nomadic identity over ActivityPub. This includes working on several related FEPs about identity proofs and conversation containers.

Our goal is for these technologies to spread throughout the fediverse."

There are examples of the #ActivityPub extensions #Bookwyrm makes, which are on the (commonly taken) path of protocol decay and whack-a-mole programming by their #LinkedData non-conformance, unfortunately.

Yet that means there's opportunity for #FEP's if there are more #interoperability parties. 😃

Here's an example of Quotation, which has no LD context:

https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/blob/main/bookwyrm/tests/data/ap_quotation.json

And here of Edition which is incorrectly placed in #ActivityStreams context:

https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/blob/main/bookwyrm/tests/data/bw_edition.json

Is anyone aware of a FEP for that?

#ActivityPub#ActivityPubDev #FEP

I consider the #FEP process as a "best-we-can-manage" at the moment. There is room for a ton of improvement in the grassroots standardization process. What I would be much in favor of is to see more organization around specific themes.

The FEP is nice but it is a random collection of bits and pieces collected as best-practices from across the ecosystem.

Examples of where decentralized ecosystems focus on specific use cases or verticles are #ForgeFed, Podcasting, and Forums.

"It's very hard to build on top of the fediverse as it is now. It's easy to build *part* of the fediverse, but you can't build a layer on top of it."

@rabble, 2025

What about the FEP process? It's already documented a range of protocol extension proposals and more are in the works. If we can get reps from a critical mass of app teams, then mass adoption gets much easier.
