Federated and Independent Repositories

FAIR is a Linux Foundation project creating an open, community-governed ecosystem of federated package repositories. Our mission is to ensure that WordPress plugin and theme distribution remains independent, transparent, and accessible to everyone.

Explore Packages

Browse the open package ecosystem — plugins that extend functionality and themes that shape design, all distributed through federated repositories.

Plugins

Discover plugins from independent repositories — extending WordPress with features built by the open-source community.

Themes

Find themes distributed across the federated network — designs crafted for performance, accessibility, and creative freedom.

FAIR is:

  • Federated

    No single point of control. Multiple independent repositories connect through shared standards and protocols.

  • Open

    Built on open-source code with transparent governance under the Linux Foundation. Anyone can participate.

  • Community-Governed

    Decisions are made collectively through working groups and a Technical Steering Committee — not by any single vendor.

  • Independent

    Repository operators maintain autonomy over their infrastructure while benefiting from shared discovery and interoperability.

Get Involved

FAIR is built by its community. Join the conversation, contribute code, or start your own federated repository.
