**iptv-org** is more than just a repository for sharing currently available links in a playlist format. After years of commitment and moderation practices it has evolved into a knowledge base for [streams](https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv/tree/master/streams), [channels](https://iptv-org.github.io/), [program guide sources](https://github.com/iptv-org/epg) and the [API](https://github.com/iptv-org/api) for developers. And to keep all this data organized, we need to follow strict structural requirements and set certain standards for participants. **iptv-org** is more than just a repository for sharing currently available links in a playlist format.
