Hello, We would like to use events in XMPP and the logical thing would be to use iCal. After having a quick look, I found that there is already the XEP-0097 which do that, but it has been untouched since 2003(!). I have contacted the author using the email declared in the XEP, but I'm not sure if it's still valid and I have little hope to have an answer to be honest.
So if I can reach the author and if he agrees, or if we have no news, I would like to maintain this XEP and update it. First I would be able to use these events with <iq> stanza in addition to <message>. Also I wonder what do you think about the way it is done. I think it's perfectly logical to use iCal which is already a standard and which is transport agnostic, but the bad side is that it is not XML, so a client would need a specific parser (the basic information are not difficult to parse though). As a first concrete usecase we have been talking with mathieui about using it to create a new XEP for declaring maintenance periods in XMPP servers (an event with a well known namespace saying that a server will be off at a certain date for an expected amount of time). So feedback welcome Regards Goffi _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list Info: https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards Unsubscribe: standards-unsubscr...@xmpp.org _______________________________________________
