Hi all,

As you might know I've been trying to revive the compliance suites that the XSF 
last published (in draft/final form) in 2012.
The compliance suites are lists of features and XEPs that serve three purposes:

  - To offer client/server authors a minimal set of XEPs that should be 
implemented to ensure a good user experience
  - To push the state-of-the-art forward and expand adoption of features that 
improve the user experience by encouraging authors to seek "compliance"
  - To improve interoperability between clients and servers on the network

Naturally, these goals are sometimes in conflict and each XEP or feature in the 
suites needs to be considered carefully against all three goals.
The latest (unaccepted) compliance suites can be found here, for reference: 
https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0387.html

I'm looking fora  new document shepherd to take over curating and publishing 
the compliance suites each year. The compliance suites are a bit different from 
other XEPs, so anyone wanting to take them over needs to be willing to work 
with the council to get them published in a reasonable timeframe (I've 
historically been very bad at this; start publishing early), and needs to 
understand that it's better to publish on time than to make them perfect (it 
looks bad if we're in 2018 and the "current" draft compliance suites are from 
2012). Anyone wanting to take over should also of course follow XSF business 
and the XMPP community and generally keep an eye on new XEPs and adoption of 
existing XEPs.

If that sounds like you, please reach out and I'd be happy to help you get 
started picking back up where I left off.

Thanks,
Sam
