ForgeFed is an ActivityPub-based federation protocol for software forges. Youcan read more about ForgeFed and the protocol specification on ourwebsite.

There's a huge variety of tasks to do! Come talk with us on theforum orchat. More eyes going over the spec are always welcome! And feel free toopen an issue if you notice missing details or unclear text or have improvementsuggestions or requests.

However, to maintain a manageable working environment, we do reserve the issuetracker forpractical, actionable work items. If you want to talk first toachieve more clarity, we prefer you write to us on theforum orchat, andopening an issue may come later.

If you wish to join the work on the ForgeFed specification, here are sometechnical but important details:

• We don't push commits to the main branch, we always open a pull request
• Pull requests making changes to the specification content must have at least2 reviews and then they wait for a cooldown period of 2 weeks during whichmore people can provide feedback, raise challenges and conflicts, improve theproposed changes etc.
• If you wish to continuously participate in shaping the specification, itwould be useful to go over the open PRs once a week or so, to make sure youhave a chance to communicate your needs, ideas and thoughts before changesget merged into the spec
