There’s a bit of an issue with the current naming. I observe that those deeply involved in particular FEP’s in their fediverse discussions start to refer to them only by their ID. They say something in toots like “Just stick to fep-1b12
and you’ll be fine”. No link to the FEP and no title of the FEP mentioned.
In other words, pure fedi-dev ‘insider talk’ and no hooks for other fedizens to glean the context of the toot and chime in. And when a link to a FEP markdown doc is dropped in a toot, it doesn’t generate an opengraph link preview that shows the title either.
TLDR People start to think in FEP ID’s and not in terms of protocol capabilities to support.
IMHO it would be better if FEP ID’s weren’t so prominent. They are not easy to remember, they are not intuitive, they are for machines not for people.
