I am a software developer and social justice activist currently deeply involved in Sir Tim Berners-Lee's Solid project. When not coding or community building, I move myself and various props through time and space - fire dancing, juggling, martial arts, etc.

I've proposed two possible outlines for a document about #SolidProject #Activitypub integration

https://github.com/solid-contrib/activitypub-interop/issues/2#issuecomment-3590595603

The first is more note/tutorial/primer like, because a large part of the content is just redescribing ActivityPub for a Solid audience.

The second assumes prior knowledge of ActivityPub and primarily describes what is needed to integrate ActivityPub with Solid, based on three architectures:

- Server support
- External processing
- External endpoints

Is this specification for Pod providers or for agents ? · Issue #2 · solid-contrib/activitypub-interop
