This is a list of current discussion items for the OAI Chair and LF PM meeting:
This page defines the approach to the development of a tooling repository and engagement strategy for the OpenAPI Initiative, specifically in how to add tools to the directory. It reflects:
This proposal will evolve over time as the initial cut of the repository is established and tools ingested.
It’s a fact that any programming language - API specification-related or otherwise - is only as good as the tools that support it. Without relevant and workable tooling a community built around a given programming language will wither and die, as the users of the language - developers - do not have the affordances required to be productive human beings.
OpenAPI does not have a tooling problem in the sense there is no tooling - there is lots of it. However, easily finding the right and relevant tools can be a challenge and it is perceived that the OpenAPI Initiative could do more to help tooling makers publicize their wares. It’s not that the repositories don’t exist - there’s https://openapi.tools and https://apis.guru/awesome-openapi3/ - but these may be considered opinionated in their construct or coarse-grained in their data selection. There is also limited means to drive quality in the data, as they either work on snapshots based on automated searches or best efforts of maintainers with limited time available. The current mechanism of storing tools in the IMPLEMENTATIONS.md in the specification repository is also not fit-for-purpose, based on the number of pull requests that require merging.
The goal of the Tooling workstream is therefore to address by developing a dedicated repository for tooling that can become a ubiquitous community resource with the means to provide curated content.
To that end there are a number of specific objectives in its creation:
These objectives are expanded on below.
The first objective is to bring together the data that already exists in the community. It makes no sense to start from scratch given the considerable collateral that we already have from existing resources. The design approach is one of “loose-coupling”, where we can draw from existing repositories on an ongoing basis without affecting their presence or modus operandi.
The existing resources in scope are as follows (and already mentioned above):
These will be combined into a single, attributed list in the Tooling repository and, in the case of https://openapi.tools continue to be merged into the near future. There are two significant advantages to this approach:
The table below shows the in scope repositories for the first iteration:
Repository | Approach | Rationale |
---|---|---|
https://openapi.tools | Merge | The repository has many active contributors and a good base set of metadata. We should continue to leverage the buy-in to this repository. The approach of federating has been discussed with Phil and as long there is attribution he is down with it (and it is supported by the underlying license). |
https://apis.guru/awesome-openapi3/ | Migrate | Mike Ralphson has already discussed using this as the basis of an OpenAPI Initiative Tooling repository, as discussed in this paper. We should migrate the existing data/data captured mechanism (a GraphQL query on a given GitHub tag, Bayesian analysis of the readme of each repository) across to the Tooling repository and work with Mike to work out a future for the existing repository |
IMPLEMENTATIONS.md | Migrate | The content of IMPLEMENTATIONS.md should be migrated across to the Tooling repository. This includes any outstanding pull requests - owners of those requests should be notified of the transition. |
The “Merge” approach for ingesting https://openapi.tools will be extensible, in that it will be future-proofed to allow us to bring other repositories and sources of information as we uncover them. This will allow us to always build on the existing community efforts, hopefully extending buy-in to our unified repository.
The combined dataset will be housed in the new Tooling repository and be updated on a daily basis with changes from federated repositories using (most likely) GitHub actions as the build tool. Individual contributors will also be able to contribute to the repository where required (for example, where the tool is commercial and closed source).
The Bayesian analysis and GitHub metrics (Stars, etc.) will then be expanded to incorporate more metadata and extended across all repositories in an effort to ensure consistent categorization. This will help drive qualitative analysing of the data to ensure that anything that turns out irrelevant can be filtered (for example: tagged repositories with boilerplate code or limited community value, dead repositories, etc.)
Mopping up any failures in the automated analysis will be undertaken manually.
The final objective - publishing the information for the use of the community - should be straightforward in terms of look-and-feel, i.e.:
However, this will be accompanied by filtering mechanisms that will make the most of metadata we can gather, viz.:
The power of the new Tooling repository lies here: exploiting the available metadata to ensure our efforts enable the OpenAPI community to make informed decisions in their choice of tooling.
This is meant to provide an overview and statement of work for profiling and engaging with API providers across multiple industries:
The OpenAPI Initiative (OAI) needs ongoing assistance in the discovery, profiling, and engagement with API providers. There are many different types of API provides who are already using OAS as part of their operations, and we'd like to know who they are, profile what they are doing, and explore ways in which we might be able to engage with them more and get them involved in the community. Working to identify the things being done with OAS by interesting API providers, then work to make that better known to the OAS community, and wider API sector.
Statement of Work:
This work can be view via the project Kanban board for the profiling and engaging with open source tooling, and any questions, comments, or additional items can be published here.
This is meant to provide an overview and statement of work for curating and publishing API articles, podcasts, and videos within the OAS community.
The OpenAPI Initiative (OAI) needs ongoing assistance in the discovery, curation, and publishing of articles, podcasts, and videos from across the API community. There is a lot of work occurring already out of companies, organizations, institutions, and government agencies when it come to putting the specification to work, and this statement of work intends to help push forward formal but also volunteer community effort to help better showcase the great storytelling that is already happening.

This is meant to provide an overview and statement of work for profiling and engaging with open source tooling within the OAS community.
The OpenAPI Initiative (OAI) needs ongoing assistance in the identification, profiling, and engagement with open source tooling makers who have adopted OAS 3.0, or need assistance in migrating from Swagger 2.0 to OAS 3.0. This work involves helping establish a standardized process for identifying, profiling, engaging, and curating open source tooling within the OpenAPI community via Github, and then setting in motion the process to do this work with the goal of establishing, then maintaining an official OAI tooling catalog.

This is an overview of the Special Interest Groups (SIG) that have been emerging within the OpenAPI Initiative (OAI), working to provide a simple overview of what SIGs are, how they operate, and how they can contribute to moving forward the conversation around the OpenAPI Specification (OAS). Providing an evolvable document that can help OAI members establish new SIGs, and evolve the conversation around the existing ones.
Currently, there are two types of SiGS that have emerged to move forward some aspect of using OAS, with the first one being about establishing and developing specific extensions to OAS, with some eventually becoming a formal part of the specification, or remaining as an extension or overlay to the spec.
The other type of SIG is more focused on the usage of OAS in service of a specific industry, which may eventually contribute changes, extensions, or overlays to OAS, but will be more likely about coordination across OAS usage withinn specific industry.
These are just the first wave of SIGs to be formalized in the last six months, with some of them existing in various forms before the door was opened in May of 2021 for groups to be formed using a less formal review process--encouraging the creation of SIGs with as little friction and allowing them to grow organically over time-based upon activity defined by each group.
These are some of the commonly recommended building blocks to help move each SIG forward in a standardized way, helping provide a common blueprint that SiGs can employ to move forward each conversation and encourage participation within the OAS community.
That represents what is currently in use to manage SIGs. None of these are required but should provide a set of common practices to consider. If there are other things like calendar, document management, and other building blocks in use, please let us know so that we can add to this list and inform each of the existing SIGS, as well as new ones.
SIGs are intended to operate independently of the Technical Steering Committee (TSC), marketing group, and ASC steering committee, moving forward at their own speed, providing regular sync with existing groups, and following the process that is already established.
Designated SIG leadership are encouraged to bring short updates to existing group gatherings as required but should follow existing group rules and processes when it comes to making contributions or requesting attention or resources from a group.
It was decided in May of 2021 to go with a less formal approach to starting up and operating SIGs to encourage their formation and evolution. The OAI depends on each group champion and leader to define and manage each SIG and contribute to existing OAI projects, groups, and discussions. There is no formal OAI structure or process for how SIGs should operate, with this document being just one attempt at documenting what is currently happening. Neal has created a pull request in the main specification repository for gathering SIG titles, descriptions, and other information. This issue, as well as the supporting the Kanban board is just working to try to continue formalizing and communicating the structure and process for SIGs but does not claim to be the formal process, or is comprehensive--it is just an attempt to capture what is happening in motion.
Like most aspects of the OAI, SIGs are dependent on champions to move things forward and help define what SIGs are and how they add value to OAS and the community. Please share your feedback, corrections, additions, and concerns below, and feel free to add to the project Kanban board, update your SIG's information, or start up a new SIG to move forward with something that matters to you. SIGs reflect a pretty compelling opportunity to move OAS and the OAI community forward in different ways, beyond the core specification development, and marketing activities that have been going on since the forming of the OAI. We look forward to what your SIG can do, and encourage your participation in helping push forward the SIG discussion within the OAI and OAS community.
This is meant to provide an overview and statement of work for new member identification and engagement within the OAS community.
The OpenAPI Initiative (OAI) needs ongoing assistance identifying potential new members for the organization. Helping discover and profile API providers, service, and tooling providers who would be interested in joining in to help work on the specification, join in marketing discussions, as well as become a member of the OAI. The OAI would like to grow our membership so that it can reach a larger audience, and better serve our growing community of practitioners.
