Hi jens. Welcome 👋 And thanks for your contribution. > [@jfinkhaeuser](#): > > I’d personally stay away from the “social web” term. Most people will read “web” and think HTTP. That’d clash with the above shift in design approach. I have a long list of thoughts on this. I start with the following quote > [@aschrijver](#): > > Most important that we start speaking a common language, a Ubiquitous language (UL), right from the start. I think these two statements go hand in hand: We need a language to describe a Fedi specification that has a few properties. I’m using the vision concept from above. #### Vision / Concept: A common and inclusive language to work on #### Functional requirements - Provide reusable templates for tasks #### Non-functional requirements - Be inclusive; avoid terms that people find offensive, e.g. allowlist not whitelist. - Minimal friction to clarify what something means - Language does not suggest a solution Second @jfinkhaeuser Would you be willing to take a look from time to time that we do not preclude the use of non HTTP technologies when not necessary? Third: I personally think I made the first mistake here by talking about “Vision for a Fedi Specification”. I think the use of “a” implies that the result will be a single document. This is kind of not what I expect. I think that the result of “specifying the Fediverse” would be a sequence of documents, some of them being able to be used by arbitrary network technologies, some requiring HTTP. --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.coding.social/t/wiki-vision-for-a-fedi-specification/563)._
