803	federation - work together with D* community	user-A		"As you know there are other open distributed networks, that share the same problem of federation, as goblin. There is for example the [https://diasporafoundation.org Diaspora community], that creates a distributed social network, where some users provide some servers (so [http://podupti.me called pods]). As federation is even here very complex, they are working currently to isolate the code of the protocol into a seperate layer.

Instead of every community spends a lot of resources on developing/testing/tuning/mainting a own inter-server protocoll for federation, I suggest to join a working group that addresses that problem and maybe raises some money so they can put attention on the development for a longer time. Maybe it results in a standard protocol as Jabber is for IM.

The D* community seeks for such kind of contacts, so please join in: https://www.loomio.org/discussions/6233"	task	closed	critical		programming	wontfix	federation, servers, protocol, distribution
