Participate

The engineering is at an early stage and the work is open, which is when outside input matters most.

The Foundation welcomes:

  • Developers
  • Researchers
  • Technology vendors
  • Directory operators
  • Business platforms
  • Organisations interested in open standards

Try the prototype

Run the open reference prototype locally and see how a directory, a business and an agent fit together. It is a way to test ideas, not a standard.

Open the repository

Contribute

Read the contributing guide, pick an open issue (some are marked good first issue) or propose a change. Issues and milestones are the public roadmap.

Contributing guide

Discuss and review

Questions, design critiques and the threat model are open for discussion. Security issues go through private reporting, not public issues.

Join the discussion

Build an implementation

Operating a directory, or building an agent client or a business endpoint? Tell us what you plan to build so early drafts can be tested against real needs.

How contribution works

  • Work happens in the open prototype repository, through issues and pull requests.
  • The public roadmap is the repository’s milestones and issues; it states intent, not dates.
  • Contributions are under Apache-2.0 and use a DCO sign-off (git commit -s).
  • Participants follow the code of conduct.
  • Report security problems privately through the repository’s security reporting, not in a public issue.

Still being settled

The Foundation is not yet established, so governance, trademark policy and the long-term home of the work are not final. The current files are placeholders awaiting legal review.
