   @z428 There is a FEP which standardized the way platforms can list the FEPs they've implemented, but no aggregator that crawls the instances and displays the results in a UI, afaik

     Serious question addressing the #ActivityPub crowd: So I understand now there's that repository of FEPs and the idea dubbed Fediverse Enhancement Proposals. Which seems a good thing in many aspects. However, there are two things I currently wonder, here: For one, is there any kind of transparency on which of these will be implemented by which platform at some point? Specifically curious about things such as Nomadic Identity. And, then, how's this likely to turn out in the future? Will there at some point be a revised / update variant of the ActivityPub spect including more of these being mandatory protocol features?
     Tim Chambers repeated this.

     Existing implementations can be found in the "Implementations" section of a proposal. Future implementations are not included there, but you can ask in a discussion thread or contact authors directly, they may know what's in the works.

     Specifically curious about things such as Nomadic Identity. And, then, how's this likely to turn out in the future?

     FEP-ef61? I am the author of this FEP and my own implementation is not finished yet. Only Streams and Forte are more or less production-ready.

     I know several developers who expressed interest in implementing FEP-ef61, but they are probably waiting until I finish my own implementation (because the specification is not stable and there are several unresolved issues).

     Will there at some point be a revised / update variant of the ActivityPub spect including more of these being mandatory protocol features?

     That seems unlikely, because there is no working group at W3C that can make such changes to the official spec.
