# Welcome to the IPFS Weekly. 👋
The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) (opens new window) is a new hypermedia distribution protocol, addressed by content and identity. IPFS enables the creation of completely distributed applications. It aims to make the web faster, safer, and more open. Since that’s a pretty large scope, we track development across the ecosystem in this weekly dispatch.
Looking to get involved? Click on some of the links below, see what we’re up to on GitHub (opens new window), or join us on IRC (opens new window).

# Announcing the IPFS Project Q3 Priorities & Working Groups
Earlier this summer, the IPFS team got together to create a plan to make IPFS performant, stable, high quality and updated regularly - and ready to grow even more. Check out the plan (opens new window), along with remixed working groups and more!
# Introducing Multiple-Choice Lessons in ProtoSchool
Did you know that not every lesson in ProtoSchool includes a coding challenge? ProtoSchool has long supported both coding exercises and text-based lessons, but today we're introducing a new lesson type: multiple-choice (opens new window). 🎉
As the author of a tutorial, you can now present the learner with a multiple-choice quiz after she reads the text of your lesson, adding some interactivity and a chance to check comprehension before moving on to the next topic. Learn more about building ProtoSchool tutorials (opens new window).
