Hi, orthogonal to the current discussion of whats actually included in the compliance suite I have some other thoughts.
XMPP has a huge image problem mainly because people are using either outdated servers and clients or offer incomplete APIs. (I'm not trying to point fingers; but lets say you run a popular IRC-like webchat and want to offer an XMPP bridge into it.) Creating a compliance suite is a very nice guideline for developers but is completely worthless from a marketing standpoint. I can't tell people their experience is bad because their server doesn't implement the 2016 advanced IM server profile. What if we (The XSF) create a "Gold Standard" label that can be given to servers and clients that implement the advanced IM profile? That label could be granted only for a defined period (either a year or until the next compliance suite comes out) The label should be only for IM profiles to make recognition easier. (IM is arguable the most popular (or at least most consumer facing) use case for XMPP and people who use XMPP for something else probably don't care about badges) Of course there needs to be some kind of procedure by which the XSF can award this badge and there should be mechanisms (copyrights?) in place that prevent clients and servers from abusing the badge. cheers Daniel 2016-04-28 8:35 GMT+02:00 XMPP Extensions Editor <[email protected]>: > The XMPP Extensions Editor has received a proposal for a new XEP. > > Title: XMPP Compliance Suites 2016 > > Abstract: > This document defines XMPP protocol compliance levels for 2016. > > > URL: http://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/compliance2016.html > > The XMPP Council will decide in the next two weeks whether to accept this > proposal as an official XEP. > > _______________________________________________ > Standards mailing list > Info: http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards > Unsubscribe: [email protected] > _______________________________________________ >
