This is the Git repository containing Fediverse Enhancment Proposals (FEPs).
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 developer community, a liaison of the W3C Social Web Incubator Community Group. For ongoing and past discussion see the SocialHub FEP category.
