Curating a new topic or collection

  • I've formatted my changes as a new folder directory, named for the topic or collection as it appears in the URL on GitHub (e.g. https://github.com/topics/[NAME] or https://github.com/collections/[NAME])
  • My folder contains a *.png image (if applicable) and index.md
  • All required fields in my index.md conform to the Style Guide and API docs: https://github.com/github/explore/tree/main/docs

The fax topic has no curated page. More than a hundred repositories carry the topic today: fax servers, gateways, carrier SDKs and APIs, from several companies and individual developers. The page says what fax is, names the two protocols people search for (T.30 and T.38), and links the Wikipedia article. It names no product and no company. Aliases follow the slugs repositories already use (fax-api, faxing, fax-server, efax). No image is included.

I build Fax for Agents.

A short page for the fax topic: what fax is, the T.30 and T.38 protocols, and why developers still build for it.

🔵 Needs a closer look

Editorial approval is still needed to evaluate the new public topic’s aliases and broad community value/non-promotional status, which cannot be established through local file validation alone.

What changed in this PR

Adds curated content for the previously uncurated fax topic, providing a concise overview of fax technology, related protocols, and common developer use cases.

Changes:

  • Adds topic metadata, aliases, related topics, and a Wikipedia reference.
  • Covers traditional faxing, T.30, T.38, fax servers, gateways, SDKs, and APIs.
  • Omits an image because no applicable official logo is provided.
File Description
topics/​fax/​index.md Defines the curated fax topic's metadata, aliases, related topics, reference link, and descriptive page content.
