Hi folks, XEP-0313 is a well-established protocol at this point, but didn't yet make it to the next stage in the standards process. Time to fix that!
I have made a final round of updates to incorporate the various feedback I have received from people who have implemented the protocol over the past couple of years. One thing that kept coming up was splitting out some non-essential/rougher parts of the document. This I have done: preferences and pubsub archives have been split off to be separate XEPs. Preferences are not widely implemented, and actually implementing and using them has the potential to mess up the way many clients use MAM for sync today - these days I don't think it's a feature that should generally be exposed to users without caution. Pubsub archives are something that is conceptually simple, but that I think people still have a fair few questions about. So splitting that into a new document will hopefully give it some room to grow. The core of XEP-0313 that remains has actually gained some new features that were repeatedly requested by people to help with implementation issues. Importantly the namespace has not been bumped, but servers that support the new update will indicate this with an extra disco feature. The PRs are here: XEP-0313: https://github.com/xsf/xeps/pull/922 MAM Preferences: https://github.com/xsf/xeps/pull/920 Pubsub MAM: https://github.com/xsf/xeps/pull/921 Feedback very welcome, but I hope we can get this wrapped up and advanced to Draft where it should be soon! Regards, Matthew
