Hi,
during the latest DevCon, one of the issues about deployment was
contact
addresses. The current XEP for that is 0157.
I think that 157 breaks the current disco#info usage pattern. We use
disco#info to discover which protocols an entity supports, not the
get
the information directly (exception for basic <identity >). So
receiving the entire contact information in the disco#info reply
seems
wrong, because on most requests, we don't need it.
I think we should use a pubsub node instead. This would give us
all the
benefits of pubsub, and we could probably implement this faster,
given
that pubsub and pep are starting to get deployed in latest
releases of
some servers like Openfire and Ejabberd.
The schema for the information could be reused from XEP-0157 or
XEP-0154 if that one comes back from the dead.
Why not just put this in one of the following?
1. server vCard (XEP-0054)
2. server profile (XEP-0154)
I'm ok with either, and I think any of them is better than xep-0157.
Profiles seem to be in limbo right now, and vCards are widely
deployed, so I think that server vCard is the best one right now.
Best regards,
