FEP-a4ed: The Fediverse Enhancement Proposal Process

If I’m proposing a technical thing, is it preferable for it to have been implemented already?

I think it is nice to have at least one working implementation (good for figuring out all the things one forgets), but there is no strict requirement.

If I’m adding fields to an ActivityPub object, and I expect them to be used widely in the future, which namespace should I be using? My own, i.e. http://smithereen.software/ns# ? ActivityStreams? Something else?

Excellent question.

FEPs do not have any control of what should be added to ActivityStreams. Maybe it might make sense to add a FEP namespace (e.g. https://activitypub.dev/fep/ns#) where things can be added but in the mean time I think it is better to use your own.
