# Specifications for Status clients
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This repository contains a list of specifications for implementing Status and
|
|
its various capabilities.
|
|
|
|
## How to contribute
|
|
|
|
You can read about how to build this project [here](./DEVELOPMENT.md).
|
|
|
|
1. Create an issue for a new Status Improvement Proposal (SIP) or some bug that you'd like to address
|
|
2. Create a corresponding PR and ping some existing SIP editors for review
|
|
|
|
If you need help, ask in #protocol at [Status / Discord](https://discord.gg/3Exux7Y).
|
|
|
|
### Specification style guidelines
|
|
|
|
Become familiar with the [specification style guidelines](STYLE-GUIDELINE.md) to understand how you should write or amend specifications.
|
|
|
|
## Spec lifecycle
|
|
|
|
Every spec has its own lifecycle that shows its maturity. We indicate this in a similar fashion to [COSS Lifecycle](https://rfc.unprotocols.org/spec:2/COSS/):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At present (March 30, 2020) this means stable specs are what is in v1 of the Status App. Drafts and raw are work in progress specs.
|
|
|
|
## Status Improvement Proposals (SIPs)
|
|
|
|
The main specification for writing a Status client is [1/CLIENT](https://specs.status.im/spec/1).
|
|
|
|
For all full index of all specs, see [specs.status.im](https://specs.status.im/), especially stable specs.
|
|
|
|
## Protocol Research
|
|
|
|
These are protocols that are currently being researched. These are designed to
|
|
be useful outside of Status as well. To the extent that these protocols are used
|
|
within Status clients, they will show up as SIPs in the future.
|
|
|
|

|
# Continuous Integration
|
|
|
|
The site is built in [Our Jenkins CI](https://ci.status.im/job/website/job/specs.status.im/) based off of `master` branch.
