Re: 400e, 7888, and conversation containers

Did @silverpill@mitra.social or @trwnh@mastodon.social put together a draft FEP that successfully merges 7888, 400e, and @mikedev@fediversity.site's conversation containers? I remember reading it last week, and wonder if it's the one true FEP that will render the others obsolete.

I don’t think “obsolete” is the right framing here. You can mostly consider Conversation Containers to be a synthesis of 7888 and 400e, and if they dropped target on the object (invalid) and on the Create activity (undefined), then it would basically be 7888.

There is a draft of Conversation Containers FEP: https://codeberg.org/silverpill/feps/src/branch/main/171b/fep-171b.md
And I've come up with a plan for FEP-400e and FEP-1b12 convergence: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/ap/object/e9b7fb34c4af9291b9b98095e661789d

@julian @erlend_sh Thank you, this is the correct link. The URL in my post leads to AP object, I forgot that Discourse doesn't redirect when you view those in the browser. It also doesn't seem to support Update activities

@silverpill@mitra.social Thanks for sharing this. I'm confused by these two sentences:

Collection type SHOULD be Context.
...
Add.target MUST be a partial representation of the collection. Thus, if type of the collection is Context, any Add activity modifying that collection can be identified by Add.target.type.

My context collection is of type OrderedCollection. I don't believe Context is one of the AS2 core types.

I don't see any reference to collection type being Context in @mikedev@fediversity.site's original document.

@julian @mikedev Yes, this is a new requirement, but I can't comment on that part yet. The FEP is very much work in progress
