Yadis

The Yadis discovery protocol was spearheaded by Brad Fitzpatrick, David Recordon (then both at Six Apart) and Johannes Ernst and Joaquin Miller (then both at NetMesh), in order to create an extensible foundation for user-centric, decentralized, web identity.

Over a period of several months, with the involvement of several dozen other individuals, the Yadis 1.0 specification was created and widely implemented on the web. This page collects some important Yadis information that was moved over from yadis.org:

• Frequently Asked Questions
• Yadis Song (really! Need to preserve this for future generations ...)
