I was looking at #atproto docs yesterday after watching some "decentralization" chats. The thing about having 1+1 parents and +1 @bsky.app is called "science" given we can contrast our zero-origin birthday-centrism to 1+1 photons ≠ -1 solar systems: https://themath.tech,

my main question is how you transfer ownership of a lexicon in the event of an acquisition or a project going from a personal toy to a team effort.

if the NSID points to *my* infra, how do we move that without breaking the schema resolution?

The same way you would do if you wanted to transfer a Bluesky handle, you can change the resolution of the NSID to the new repo

right but say i publish a lexicon with the NSID com.mikebeas.video.comment and then want to transfer that to someone else and no longer be involved with that project.

do i have to keep that NSID resolvable forever on my domain?

tom.sherman.is•187 days ago

NSIDs being authoritative means your lexicon is coupled to your domain, so I think the answer is: you can't 😅

The alternative is to use a separate domain or publish your lexicon on a future public lexicon registry

Also, as mentioned in the RFC, things should be resilient to lexicons disappearing. Which means an ecosystem can migrate to a new NSID, this is the same mechanism for an ecosystem fork (eg. If a community doesn't agree with the lexicon owner's direction)

yeah i suppose that would have to be the solution in a situation like i described. not ideal though.
