This is a container issue which aggregates all federated features in one place. It reflects my best effort (very imperfect!) to match single actionable steps with the outcome they are expected to contribute to most.
Here are the changes that we anticipate and how they map to specific GH issues:
Each item has a rough effort/complexity estimate: (XS) - S - M - L - (XL). The estimate represents my perception of them not an objective measure. With bigger complexity comes greater uncertainty.
-
from communities locked in silos platforms with self-selected boards not representing communities values any more
to freedom to be on a platform of their choice, with variety of platforms existing, variety of governance, variety of communities to be part of all participating in wider network of hosts and travelers
-
from few platforms without clear identity each, competing with each other for users
to the bigger diversity of platforms with their own specific identity developed. Shared access to wide base of hosts and travelers would relieve the burden on platforms to fulfill all needs, and they would not fear of missing out since other needs would be covered by other platforms. One could then imagine platforms in other languages than English or dedicated to certain life choices (think of ecology or veganism)
-
from users jumping between multiple accounts, one for each platform
to single account and one search to query all platforms and find the closest hosts among all of them
-
from users from underrepresented groups (non-english speakers, women, lgbtq, …) hesitating to participate because of feeling of exclusiveness or fear of unsafe interactions
to the community, where everyone feels welcome, can find their place and group where they belong to, feel safe and can fully express themselves. Full diversity of members from all sort of backgrounds and groups equally represented in the community.
-
from devs-maintainers competing with time to keep up to date with ever changing technologies, tired with maintaining outdated platforms,
to new platforms emerging every now and then with fresh ideas, energy and tech stacks. This can be achieved by making it easy for new platforms to start based on already existing ones and evolve them freely.
-
from platforms keeping hosts forever despite them being inactive and unresponsive
to only committed hosts participating in the network on their own rules and preferences.
-
from users exchanging direct messages
to indirect hosting requests
I travel and publish: Who can host me?
Everyone in the network can see it and someone answers: come over to my home, we’ll be waiting this evening for you.
