+# Current progress
+
+## Gitea main
+
+- Not much currently, but the building blocks are there.
+ - User keypairs and HTTP signatures
+
+## Pull request #20391
+
+- Adds backend for federated following, starring, issues, forks, and pull requests
+- Task list:
+ - 36/84 = 43% done!
+- Federated following demo:
+ - Go to https://YOURFEDIVERSEINSTANCE.com/authorize_interaction?uri=https://git.exozy.me/api/v1/activitypub/user/Ta180m
+
+# Steps to implement a federated feature
+
+## Step 1
+
+- Think about and **conceptually design** the feature.
+- Example: We can support account migrations using a `Move` activity like what Mastodon does, and we'll need a UI to migrate all of an account's repos.
+
+## Step 2
+
+- If there are spec-level changes, **contribute them to ForgeFed**.
+- Example: Submit a PR to ForgeFed documenting the usage of `Move`.
+
+## Step 3
+
+- **Implement** the feature in Gitea.
+- Example: Write backend code for sending/processing `Move` and implement the UI.
+
+# Upcoming challenges
+
+## Frontend/UI
+
+- I'm temporarily using some Ruby scripts and handwriting AS objects, but that won't work long-term.
+- I predict this will be tricky and time-consuming, so we should start now.
+- Reuse current Gitea UI but add federation handling to internal functions?
+ - Example: Use current create new issue UI, but handle federated issues in `issues.CreateCommentCtx()`.
+
+## Federated collaborators and organizations
+
+- Federated collaborators:
+ - How to handle Git push?
+ - How to handle settings synchronization?
+- Federated organizations:
+ - A huge headache due to all sorts of crazy scenarios that can happen.
+ - Example: User on instance A is in a organization on instance B and forks a repo located on instance C to the organization.
+
+## Permissions and private repo federation
+
+- fr33domlover is working on OCAP in ForgeFed.
+- Another simple solution is to use HTTP signatures for authentication.
+ - Example: I would like to view open issues on a remote private repo, so my instance uses my private key to send a signed request to the remote instance's Ticket actor endpoint.
+
+## Contributors
+
+- I won't have much time over the next two weeks to work on Gitea.
+- Both Loïc and I posted calls for help on the fediverse, but no one has showed up yet.
+- Contributions to my Ta180m/gitea fork highly welcome!
+- Gergely Nagy set up daily Docker builds of my Gitea fork, so it'll be easy for testers to try it out.
+
+## Moderation
+
+- Blocking instances
+ - Add each remote instance as a login source, then you can disable login sources in the admin UI?
+- Blocking users
+ - Any ideas how to do this?
