# ForgeFed





    Get it on Codeberg




ForgeFed is an ActivityPub-based federation protocol for software forges. You

can read more about ForgeFed and the protocol specification on our

[website][Website].



## Contributing



There's a huge variety of tasks to do! Come talk with us on the [forum][] or

[chat][]. More eyes going over the spec are always welcome! And feel free to

open an issue if you notice missing details or unclear text or have improvement

suggestions or requests.



However, to maintain a manageable working environment, we do reserve the issue

tracker for *practical, actionable work items*. If you want to talk first to

achieve more clarity, we prefer you write to us on the [forum][] or [chat][], and

opening an issue may come later.



If you wish to join the work on the ForgeFed specification, here are some

technical 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 least

  2 reviews and then they wait for a cooldown period of 2 weeks during which

  more people can provide feedback, raise challenges and conflicts, improve the

  proposed changes etc.

- If you wish to continuously participate in shaping the specification, it

  would be useful to go over the open PRs once a week or so, to make sure you

  have a chance to communicate your needs, ideas and thoughts before changes

  get merged into the spec



Important files in this repo to know about:



- The file `resources.md` lists which team members have access to which project

  resources, openness and transparency are important to us!

- The actual specification source texts are in the `spec/` directory

- JSON-LD context files are in the `rdf/` directory
