Join a vibrant community
There are lots of ways to get involved with IIIF, and not all require coding skills! The IIIF community has many facets focusing on international outreach, affinity groups, developing the APIs, and more.
Community and Technical Specification Groups
IIIF Groups meet regularly to discuss various contexts of IIIF usage for a particular idea or initiative from technical and non-technical perspectives. View a full list of active and completed croups along with their charters, chairs, and meeting times on the Groups page.
All our work is guided by our Code of Conduct.
