We have started to deploy a special online network of XMPP servers for
testing ("special" in the sense that you must register to use it -- it's
a long story about making corporate vendors comfortable):http://www.xmpp.org/interop/ Now it's time to start using that network. I propose that each month we hold a "test fest" -- e.g., a week or a few days of testing devoted to a particular XMPP extension. This would serve several purposes: 1. It would help get everyone "on the same page" regarding the protocol we're testing. 2. It would help us clarify the relevant specs. 3. It would provide implementation experience that can help us advance the relevant XEPs to Final in the XSF's standards process. Here are some possible protocols to test early on: XEP-0012: Last Activity http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0012.html XEP-0066: Out of Band Data http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0066.html XEP-0085: Chat State Notifications http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0085.html XEP-0138: Stream Compression http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0138.html Naturally, we'll need multiple implementations in order to test, so we'll need to choose specs that are widely implemented. If you have suggestions for other protocols, feel free to chime in. And of course we'll need client and server developers to join the interop network. I plan to start recruiting people more actively for that real soon now. Peter -- Peter Saint-Andre https://stpeter.im/
