About & governance

PluralPort is maintained by a small group of plurality app developers and plural people. It is a specification, not an organization, and not a service. There is no server, no account, and nothing to sign up for.

How decisions get made

Changes land as PRs with a two-week comment window. Anything that breaks an existing exporter needs sign-off from at least two shipping apps.

Registering an app ID

One PR adding your short ID to the canonical list. Private namespaces don’t need registration — use a reverse-DNS key.

Objecting to something

Open an issue. If a field would leak something a system didn’t intend to share, say so and it gets treated as a blocker.

Licensing
