Welcome to the ActivityStreams Community Wiki

This wiki is the central repository which supports the specification process. The wiki documents the discussions which led us to select certain nomenclature, properties and best practices for the exchange of activities, as well as a list of examples in the wild, current implementations and future plans to extend the specification.

An activity is a description of an action that was performed (the verb) at some instant in time by some actor with some social object (the object).

For a quick high level overview of the concepts, take a look at these presentations.

Specs

• Activity Streams draft spec
• Activity Schema draft spec
• JSON Activity draft spec
• Atom Media draft spec

Status

Currently we are working on producing the first version the activity streams specification. The goal of this first version of the specification is to act as the baseline and allow development against an official version of the spec.

We will continue to iterate on more verbs and object types and welcome your input.
