ActivityPub Experimentation: Towards AP v2

There are two concrete problems that the BoF could address. There is the “meta” problem of how to get the community organized just enough to identify a path towards consensus, yet doing so without developing institutions since they stifle voices. Then, there is the “execution” problem where, once the community has a procedure to build consensus on a “yes, let’s adopt this” change, how do they entice software developers to build this out in new or existing applications.

I believe documenting behavior is key, whether current best practices (use of WebFinger, NodeInfo, Federation.md, …) or more experimental stuff towards v2. I think a light-weight community-driven editorial process for such documents could be a way. Maybe this is something we could discuss here? (Moving some ideas from Scaling Up Cooperation to this BoF).
