I try to make myself more clear, since this in feature it will be a gray area with more and more non-chat xmpp applications. In order to standardize non-chat applications the XFS would need members, and a council, having experts in the specific application domain. I don't think that in the present and near future we will have all these skills. However such contributions are very useful since they give precious feedback for the infrastructure and even if the council doesn't decide to accept them as XEPs I think that we could provide some official space for discussion (e.g. more mailing lists? ;) ) -- Fabio Forno, Bluendo srl http://www.bluendo.com jabber id: [email protected]
