Hi, I'm very interested in multicasting for the XMPP world. Since last summer, more precisely Google Summer of Code, badlop has pointed out several bugs[1] which might need improvement in the XEP. In addition to that I suggested some protocol addition which could even reduce the traffic more. Advanced multicasting is very important for XMPP because it'll help increasing overall stability a lot. Here a short list of improvements XMPP world could get from improved multicasting: - decrease of overall stanzas from MUCs and PubSubs * thus decrease of traffic * decrease of computation time needed for XML parsing - adding email like multicast features on client side
To come to the point, I'm looking for people interesting moving this XEP, XEP-0033, forward and get it wider deployed, on either side, client and server. Everyone who is interested in building a working group is welcome to leave a message or feedback. I plan real time meetings in some MUC once a week or two weeks.
