Pages and specifications in order summarized, roughly alphabetical:

In addition we showed how most specifications also link to their test suite which is a god place to get started for implementing and looking up implementation reports for what others have already built.

Questions and Answers

A few of the Q&A off the top of my head.

Q: How do build a decentralized version of Google Reader?

A: Check out the emerging Microsub specification and implementations — several user-friendly clients and as of today there are now two working server implementations with more being built.

Q: How does someone easily get started with these technologies, like for WordPress?

A: For WordPress you can install IndieWeb plugins to get federation support.

A: For folks that just want to a service that supports their personal domain, check out Micro.blog which has excellent support for posting notes, photos etc.
