Hi David,
thanks for your answer.
- I believe XMPP is on a state of revive and always got a lot of improvements
over the last years. There are plenty of clients and some really good working
ones for example Conversations for android (or my own userfriendly fork
monocles chat) or siskin for IPhone but also clients for desktop.
I think adding XMPP could help both, coreboot and XMPP to get more interested
people and developers.
But especially XMPP is an official international chat standard which is much
more lightweight and therefore much more resource friendly than Slack or
Discord. It supports a secure end-to-end encrypted communication, file
transfer, one-to-one audio/video calls and more. It is even used by the
military and companies. Google once used it too for google talk. The XMPP
standards Foundation also has been accepted as a mentoring organization in
Goolge summer of codes 2023.
For coreboot I would add a news bot to the XMPP chat room which automatically
fetches and posts news from the mastodon rss feed or any other rss feed.
- Currently the moderation is done by Hans, Ingolf and me. But more moderators
can be be added. The latest monocles chat version but also other xmpp clients
support a good spam handling like blocking users, message deletion.
Additionally the chat room is set to "moderated" which only allows users that
are marked by the moderators as members to write in the chat.
I would add [2] to the chat rooms description when you accept it. The users of
the chat room need to read it then before they are marked as members by the
moderators to get writing rights.
Kind regards,
Arne
