Greetings Jabberites! As you may be aware, the Jabber Software Foundation has a mechanism for adding to the Jabber protocol, known as Jabber Enhancement Proposals or JEPs (http://foundation.jabber.org/jeps/). In the past these JEPs have been sent directly to the Jabber Council without prior discussion in the Jabber community. Based on last week's JSF discussion (visit the log at http://perl.jabber.org/logs/conference.jabber.org/foundation/2002-01-16.html for details), we have modified the JEP process to facilitate more feedback and discussion. Authors are now sending their JEPs to the JEP Editor (i.e., me) and I am publishing them as "Experimental" proposals before I send them to the Jabber Council. The intent is to discuss and improve the proposal within the Jabber community before seeking to advance the JEP to the status of a draft standard. In cases where we don't have a dedicated Jabber Interest Group for the JEP's topic, we will be discussing it in the Standards JIG. Each new JEP will be announced on the JDEV and members lists, but the discussion will occur on the mailing list for the Standards JIG. So if you want to provide feedback on proposed extensions and changes to the Jabber protocol, I urge you to join the Standards JIG mailing list by visiting http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/standards-jig
This week I have cleared out my queue and have published 6 new JEPs. There are some important protocol topics being addressed here so I encourage anyone who is interested to join the Standards JIG list and get active! The new JEPs are as follows (or see the list at http://foundation.jabber.org/jeps/jeplist.html): 0011 - Jabber Browsing (jabber:iq:browse) 0012 - Last Activity (jabber:iq:last) 0013 - POP3 Handling of Offline Messages 0014 - Message Tone 0015 - Account Transfer 0016 - Server-Based Privacy Rules Let the discussion begin! :) Peter P.S. Some of the above JEPs were published before we came up with the "Experimental" status, so they may be re-labeled next week... -- Peter Saint-Andre email+jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://www.saint-andre.com/ _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
