My issue with nicks in non-anonymous group chats (and MIX core is now going to be non-anonymous by default) is that you loose the single source of truth on what to name that participant. If I have you in my contact list and I have given you a custom name I have probably done that for a reason and in 1:1 chats with that person I will always see that custom name; But how should this be handled in group chats then? Should it display the nix? Should it display the roster name? In any case; We don’t necessarily need to have a discussion on whether channel nicks are a good idea or not; Instead I’d rather make the argument that MIX promotes itself as being an extensible and flexible solution; so if it is technically possible to move nicks into it's own XEP it should be done. > However, I could move it out into a new MIX-NICK. What do people think? Yes let’s put it into a separate XEP _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list Info: https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards Unsubscribe: standards-unsubscr...@xmpp.org _______________________________________________
