Schemas and APIs for social applications on the Dat Web.

## How it works

 - Every user has their own Dat website.

 - Users publish statuses, comments, and other kinds of content on their sites.

 - Users follow each other to sync their content.

 - Follows are public, creating a social graph.

You can think of it as a souped-up RSS: users publish records as files on their sites, then sync the files regularly to receive updates. This is used to power news feeds, aggregators, comments sections, search engines, and more.

## Governance

The rules for governance are as follows:

 1. Open [issues](https://github.com/beakerbrowser/unwalled.garden/issues) or [pull requests](https://github.com/beakerbrowser/unwalled.garden/pulls) to discuss changes, problems, and ideas.

 2. Pull requests should be made to the `develop` branch.

 3. As unwalled.garden is a decentralized network, breaking changes are not allowed.

 4. All PRs require the BDFL's final approval before merging.

The current [BDFL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benevolent_dictator_for_life) is [Paul Frazee](https://github.com/pfrazee).

The current reference implementation is [Beaker](https://github.com/beakerbrowser/beaker). The `develop` branch will be merged into `master` when the reference implementation has been published with appropriate support for the changes.
