A Transporter is a web service that provides services to the Federation. Using the About Transport Plugin you can call these services simply by dragging and drooping a URL from an external site, or another Fedwiki site, in order to import of perform some other manipulation of the sites content.

Technically transporters are RESTful web service written in any programming language that make their services available to the federation through the application of CORS headers.
# Future
Here we describe the present state and future directions of the Transporter concept. We are currently migrating the code from the legacy transporters to: - Forkable Transport
Suggestion:
We suggest that transporters are able to advertise a regular expression or list of regular expressions which match dropped url's - indicating that they are able to respond to a Transporter Drop.
