How does this work.. The FEP-f1d5 talks about a node info endpoint, but the FEP states no obligatory endpoint. References lead to an old library that recommends /.well-known/x-nodeinfo2 (for that v2 library). How did a FEP become final without this crucial piece of information or am I simply missing that information in the finalised FEP? #ActivityPub #Fediverse
@luceos Like others have said, the FEP process is very loose. FEP-f1d5 looks to me to be an informational document about history and caveats of NodeInfo in “Fediverse” software. I believe it should not have a requirements section or the SHOULD statement (NodeInfo is not typically, if ever, required for AP-related federation). I also don’t see any rationale to support that position. That said, these are just my personal opinions and observations. YMMV.
