Get involved
- Voice your support. This endeavor requires broad support. It will only work if all major feed syncing platforms decide to cooperate on a new protocol. First step is to agree, that we are all working our way towards the same common goal.
- Join the mailing list and the discussion. It keeps you up-to-date. Plenty of good ideas have already been put forth and the discussions are well away.
- Contribute. How should the specifications look? Well, that’s for the developers of the protocol and you to decide. All submissions are encouraged. To submit a change, fork this repository, commit your changes and send a pull request.
