# IPFS Weekly #2

[IPFS](//ipfs.io/) is a new hypermedia distribution protocol, addressed by content and identities, aiming to make the web faster, safer, and more open. In these posts, we will try to highlight some of the development that happened in the past week. For anyone looking to get involved, follow the embedded hyperlinks, search the wealth of information on [github](//github.com/ipfs) or join us on [IRC](//webchat.freenode.net/?channels=ipfs) (#ipfs on the Freenode network).

Sounds good to me. Want to test your powers?

Push successful! I didn't rebase/squash, though. Do you care?

I don't. Do you know how? Good to know, because in the future makes more sense to do so, I think.

Yes, I do know how, but I don't often to do (since it'll erase history, and erasing history is permanent!) It's generally up to each project to come up with a policy about rebasing PRs (so I guess we should decide what we want)

Cool. I am rebase and force push trigger happy, and I know it. So, I don't mind.

Here are some of the highlights for the [January 5th](//github.com/ipfs/pm/issues/77) Sprint:

## Updates

* [**(specs)**](//github.com/ipfs/specs) There was much debate in the [IPLD spec](https://github.com/ipfs/specs/pull/37) about pathing notation. [@mildred](//github.com/mildred) in particular did a lot of good work.
* [**(go-ipfs)**](//github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs) The IPFS Docker image is now tested automatically on Travis, thanks to [@ChristianKniep](//github.com/ChristianKniep), [@whyrusleeping](//github.com/whyrusleeping), and [@chriscool](//github.com/chriscool). For more, see the [go-ipfs#2064](//github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2064) pull request.
* [**(js-ipfs)**](//github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs) Now you can do `npm i -g js-ipfs` and use jsipfs (the javascript impl of IPFS) with bootstrap + id + version commands, fully compatible with the go-ipfs repo, thanks to [@diasdavid](//github.com/diasdavid)!
* [**(community)**](//github.com/ipfs/community) [@RichardLitt](//github.com/RichardLitt) merged the PR for [JavaScript guidelines](//github.com/ipfs/community/blob/master/js-contribution-guidelines.md) for IPFS repos.
* [**(community)**](//github.com/ipfs/community) A very cool [organization-wide dashboard](http://project-repos.ipfs.io/) that provides a status overview of all the IPFS repos. By [@harlantwood](//github.com/harlantwood).

## Work in Progress

* [**(distributions)**](//github.com/distributions) [@Dignifiedquire](//github.com/Dignifiedquire) further developed the distributions page. [Click here](http://v04x.ipfs.io/ipfs/QmZyvWokPYGg6DrjE6o2V7qhThzZQZ8QCWqdd2U3S75HXC/index.html) for a preview!
* [**(go-ipfs)**](//github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs) [@lgierth](//github.com/lgierth) continued the work towards the dev040 migration. Notably we have two new gateways to aid in the transition: [http://v04x.ipfs.io](http://v04x.ipfs.io) and [http://v03x.ipfs.io](http://v03x.ipfs.io)
* [**(archives)**](//github.com/ipfs/archives/) [@Dignifiedquire](//github.com/Dignifiedquire) has added to IPFS a dump of the Stackexchange archives! Details are [in the archives repo](//github.com/ipfs/archives/issues/50). We are always looking for more help with archiving important datasets, so feel free to join us in the [archives repo](//github.com/ipfs/archives/)!
