rethink participation in coding practice through femminist perspectives is not just swapping who can participate and who can not. doing so would just replicate current forms of exclusion.
To rethink participation in coding practices from femminist perspectives means not just swapping who can join and who can not. Doing so would just replicate current forms of exclusion and polarization. It also doesn't mean to commit to an overexert openness, accepting everything and everyone in, possibly endangering safe spaces.
the trans\*femminist servers wishlist engages with a more messy entangled complex way of understanding participation and technology
a way to open up for plurality, for questioning, for instability, for safety, for situatedness
The _Wishlist for Trans*femminist Servers_ engages with a more messy entangled complex way of understanding participation and technology
a way to open up for plurality, for questioning, for instability, for safety, for situatedness. Iterating from the _Feminist Server Manifesto_, it offer a prompts to embrace coding within contradictions: not as a moral setback, but rather as an ongoing wishlist, striving for different tech for this world, and for different worlds.
These principles are reflected in the documentation of the Queer Motto API, a software-as-service commissioned by transmediale in 2020-2021, developed by the Queer Service team (Winnie Soon, Helen V. Pritchard, Cristina Cochior, and Nynne Lucca). The project questions the idea of software as a smooth service always available, with a motto generator that sometimes refuses to work, takes a nap when it needs to REST, or strikes to celebrate particular days such as the 8th March.
The Queer Motto API is published in the form of an application programming interface (API), an online service that other developers can request from their applications, in order to use generated feminist motto. By publishing in the form of an API, the service engages by nature with other projects, such as the Transmediale website, that uses it to display a new motto every day.

To inject context in software is required to operate at different scales. Within both public and private dimensions, with technical and social frameworks. During a workshop for example, people meet face to face. Here togetherness can glue technicalities as a paratext, questioning reproduction of knowledge and its power dynamics. (See for example _Feminists Federating_, mara karagianni, ooooo, nate wessalowski, vo ezn in Toward a Minor Tech - A peer reviewed Newspaper vol 12, 2023) (Note that the opposite effect is also true, with technicalities as paratext conditioning how people are together)

by publishing in the form of an API, `ok what is an api in 2 words no meme of restaurant` the project engage by nature with other projects, such as the transmediale website, that uses it to display one random motto every day.
who wants to integrate the queer motto api services needs to come at terms with the condition offered from the readme
Who wants to integrate the API however, needs to come at terms with the conditions detailed in the _readme_, the documentation text file available on the project repository.
the readme of the API offer an understanding of the various technical process involved in the classic idea of software-as-service, but re - narrating them from a feminist perspective
