Extensions and specifications https://xmpp.org/2025/07/the-xmpp-newsletter-june-2025/#extensions-and-spec…
The XMPP Standards Foundation develops extensions to XMPP in its [XEP series](https://xmpp.org/extensions/) in addition to [XMPP RFCs](https://xmpp.org/rfcs/). Developers and other standards experts from around the world collaborate on these extensions, developing new specifications for emerging practices, and refining existing ways of doing things. Proposed by anybody, the particularly successful ones end up as Final or Active - depending on their type - while others are carefully archived as Deferred. This life cycle is described in [XEP-0001](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0001.html), which contains the formal and canonical definitions for the types, states, and processes. [Read more about the standards process](https://xmpp.org/about/standards-process/). Communication around Standards and Extensions happens in the [Standards Mailing List](https://mail.jabber.org/postorius/lists/standards.xmpp.org/) ([online archive](https://mail.jabber.org/hyperkitty/list/standards@xmpp.org/)).
Proposed https://xmpp.org/2025/07/the-xmpp-newsletter-june-2025/#proposed
The XEP development process starts by writing up an idea and submitting it to the [XMPP Editor](https://xmpp.org/about/xsf/editor-team/). Within two weeks, the [Council](https://xmpp.org/about/xmpp-standards-foundation/#council) decides whether to accept this proposal as an Experimental XEP.
- [Data Policy](https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/data_policy.html)
- This document specifies metadata on how an entity handles its data (encryption, data retention, etc).
- [Data Forms File Input Element](https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/data-form-file-element.html)
- This specification defines an element which can be used with data forms to let users upload one or more files.
New https://xmpp.org/2025/07/the-xmpp-newsletter-june-2025/#new
- No New XEPs this month.
Deferred https://xmpp.org/2025/07/the-xmpp-newsletter-june-2025/#deferred
If an experimental XEP is not updated for more than twelve months, it will be moved off Experimental to Deferred. If there is another update, it will put the XEP back onto Experimental.
- No XEPs deferred this month.
Updated https://xmpp.org/2025/07/the-xmpp-newsletter-june-2025/#updated
- Version 0.1.4 of [XEP-0284](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0284.html) (Shared XML Editing)

- Version 0.1.1 of [XEP-0498](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0498.html) (Pubsub File Sharing)
- Fix wrong shortname and add tags. (jp)
Last Call https://xmpp.org/2025/07/the-xmpp-newsletter-june-2025/#last-call
Last calls are issued once everyone seems satisfied with the current XEP status. After the [Council](https://xmpp.org/about/xmpp-standards-foundation/#council) decides whether the XEP seems ready, the [XMPP Editor](https://xmpp.org/about/xsf/editor-team/) issues a Last Call for comments. The feedback gathered during the Last Call can help improve the XEP before returning it to the Council for advancement to Stable.
- No Last Call this month.
Stable https://xmpp.org/2025/07/the-xmpp-newsletter-june-2025/#stable

Extensions and specifications https://xmpp.org/2025/06/the-xmpp-newsletter-may-2025/#extensions-and-speci…
The XMPP Standards Foundation develops extensions to XMPP in its [XEP series](https://xmpp.org/extensions/) in addition to [XMPP RFCs](https://xmpp.org/rfcs/). Developers and other standards experts from around the world collaborate on these extensions, developing new specifications for emerging practices, and refining existing ways of doing things. Proposed by anybody, the particularly successful ones end up as Final or Active - depending on their type - while others are carefully archived as Deferred. This life cycle is described in [XEP-0001](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0001.html), which contains the formal and canonical definitions for the types, states, and processes. [Read more about the standards process](https://xmpp.org/about/standards-process/). Communication around Standards and Extensions happens in the [Standards Mailing List](https://mail.jabber.org/postorius/lists/standards.xmpp.org/) ([online archive](https://mail.jabber.org/hyperkitty/list/standards@xmpp.org/)).
Proposed https://xmpp.org/2025/06/the-xmpp-newsletter-may-2025/#proposed
The XEP development process starts by writing up an idea and submitting it to the [XMPP Editor](https://xmpp.org/about/xsf/editor-team/). Within two weeks, the [Council](https://xmpp.org/about/xmpp-standards-foundation/#council) decides whether to accept this proposal as an Experimental XEP.
- No XEPs proposed this month.
New https://xmpp.org/2025/06/the-xmpp-newsletter-may-2025/#new
- No New XEPs this month.
Deferred https://xmpp.org/2025/06/the-xmpp-newsletter-may-2025/#deferred
If an experimental XEP is not updated for more than twelve months, it will be moved off Experimental to Deferred. If there is another update, it will put the XEP back onto Experimental.
- No XEPs deferred this month.
Updated https://xmpp.org/2025/06/the-xmpp-newsletter-may-2025/#updated
- No XEPs updated this month.
Last Call https://xmpp.org/2025/06/the-xmpp-newsletter-may-2025/#last-call
Last calls are issued once everyone seems satisfied with the current XEP status. After the [Council](https://xmpp.org/about/xmpp-standards-foundation/#council) decides whether the XEP seems ready, the [XMPP Editor](https://xmpp.org/about/xsf/editor-team/) issues a Last Call for comments. The feedback gathered during the Last Call can help improve the XEP before returning it to the Council for advancement to Stable.
- No Last Call this month.
Stable https://xmpp.org/2025/06/the-xmpp-newsletter-may-2025/#stable

XMPP Clients and Applications https://xmpp.org/2025/05/the-xmpp-newsletter-april-2025/#xmpp-clients-and-a…
- [Cheogram](https://cheogram.com/) has released version [2.17.10-1](https://git.sr.ht/~singpolyma/cheogram-android/refs/2.17.10-1) for Android. This version introduces an initial implementation of Spaces ([XEP-503](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0503.html)), among other improvements, bugfixes and more!
- [Conversations](https://conversations.im/) has released versions [2.18.0](https://codeberg.org/iNPUTmice/Conversations/releases/tag/2.18.0), [2.18.1](https://codeberg.org/iNPUTmice/Conversations/releases/tag/2.18.1) and [2.18.2](https://codeberg.org/iNPUTmice/Conversations/releases/tag/2.18.2) for Android. Notable changes include the ability to pick a custom backup location, a prominent backup restore option for [Quicksy](https://quicksy.im/), and improved support for more kinds of URIs. The latter includes tel phone numbers, mailto email addresses, and more interestingly the web+ap scheme for ActivityPub proposed by [Fedi Links](https://fedilinks.org/).
- [Dino](https://dino.im/) has released version [0.5](https://github.com/dino/dino/releases/tag/v0.5.0) featuring OMEMO encryption by default, improved file transfers, image preview and other file details before downloading, and two completely reworked dialogs. See the release [blog post](https://dino.im/blog/2025/04/dino-0.5-release/) for all the details.
- At the same time, Dino has also [received funding](https://nlnet.nl/news/2025/20250422-announcement-grants-CommonsFund.html) from [NLnet](https://nlnet.nl) to begin development on a slew of new features. This includes message moderation in group chats, local message deletion, modern connection handling with FAST and SASL2, more formatting options with Message Markup, and more! [Visit the project page](https://nlnet.nl/project/Dino-UX/) for all the details.
- [Gajim](https://gajim.org/) has released versions [2.1.0](https://gajim.org/post/2025-04-08-gajim-2.1.0-released/) and [2.1.1](https://gajim.org/post/2025-04-17-gajim-2.1.1-released/) with a new ‘Activity feed’ page, layout improvements for its ‘Start Chat’ dialog and support for ‘Message Display Synchronisation’ ([XEP-0490](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0490.html)) across group chats among other improvements and bugfixes. Head over to their [News](https://gajim.org/post/) section for all the details.

[Kaidan](https://www.kaidan.im/) has received [NLnet](https://nlnet.nl) funding for [various improvement across the board](https://nlnet.nl/project/Kaidan-MUC/), most notably multi-user chat and support for legacy OMEMO. The second point is significant because while Kaidan is using a newer version of the OMEMO end-to-end encryption protocol, other popular clients including Conversations, Monal, and Dino are still using an older version. Since the two are not compatible, this meant Kaidan users were unable to use OMEMO encryption with users of most other clients. By implementing the older spec as well, Kaidan will help bridge that gap.
-
[Monocles Chat 2.0.6](https://codeberg.org/monocles/monocles_chat/releases/tag/CodebergRel… has been released for Android. This version brings initial support for file captions, the option to pin an unencrypted message to the top of a conversation, providers list support, and the option to register on your own XMPP server, among many other new features and improvements.

[YunoHost](https://yunohost.org/) is a set of tools to easily manage your own selfhosted services, and while it used to come bundled with the Prosody fork Metronome by default, it has recently bundled its XMPP functionality into a separate “app” so that people can swap in any other XMPP server of their choice.

Extensions and specifications https://xmpp.org/2025/05/the-xmpp-newsletter-april-2025/#extensions-and-spe…
The XMPP Standards Foundation develops extensions to XMPP in its [XEP series](https://xmpp.org/extensions/) in addition to [XMPP RFCs](https://xmpp.org/rfcs/). Developers and other standards experts from around the world collaborate on these extensions, developing new specifications for emerging practices, and refining existing ways of doing things. Proposed by anybody, the particularly successful ones end up as Final or Active - depending on their type - while others are carefully archived as Deferred. This life cycle is described in [XEP-0001](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0001.html), which contains the formal and canonical definitions for the types, states, and processes. [Read more about the standards process](https://xmpp.org/about/standards-process/). Communication around Standards and Extensions happens in the [Standards Mailing List](https://mail.jabber.org/postorius/lists/standards.xmpp.org/) ([online archive](https://mail.jabber.org/hyperkitty/list/standards@xmpp.org/)).

- No XEPs proposed this month.
New https://xmpp.org/2025/05/the-xmpp-newsletter-april-2025/#new
- No New XEPs this month.
Deferred https://xmpp.org/2025/05/the-xmpp-newsletter-april-2025/#deferred

Last Call https://xmpp.org/2025/05/the-xmpp-newsletter-april-2025/#last-call
Last calls are issued once everyone seems satisfied with the current XEP status. After the [Council](https://xmpp.org/about/xmpp-standards-foundation/#council) decides whether the XEP seems ready, the [XMPP Editor](https://xmpp.org/about/xsf/editor-team/) issues a Last Call for comments. The feedback gathered during the Last Call can help improve the XEP before returning it to the Council for advancement to Stable.
- No Last Call this month.
Stable https://xmpp.org/2025/05/the-xmpp-newsletter-april-2025/#stable

Extensions and specifications https://xmpp.org/2025/04/the-xmpp-newsletter-march-2025/#extensions-and-spe…
The XMPP Standards Foundation develops extensions to XMPP in its [XEP series](https://xmpp.org/extensions/) in addition to [XMPP RFCs](https://xmpp.org/rfcs/). Developers and other standards experts from around the world collaborate on these extensions, developing new specifications for emerging practices, and refining existing ways of doing things. Proposed by anybody, the particularly successful ones end up as Final or Active - depending on their type - while others are carefully archived as Deferred. This life cycle is described in [XEP-0001](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0001.html), which contains the formal and canonical definitions for the types, states, and processes. [Read more about the standards process](https://xmpp.org/about/standards-process/). Communication around Standards and Extensions happens in the [Standards Mailing List](https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards) ([online archive](https://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/standards/)).
Proposed https://xmpp.org/2025/04/the-xmpp-newsletter-march-2025/#proposed
The XEP development process starts by writing up an idea and submitting it to the [XMPP Editor](https://xmpp.org/about/xsf/editor-team/). Within two weeks, the [Council](https://xmpp.org/about/xmpp-standards-foundation/#council) decides whether to accept this proposal as an Experimental XEP.
- No XEPs proposed this month.
New https://xmpp.org/2025/04/the-xmpp-newsletter-march-2025/#new
- Version 0.1.0 of [XEP-0503](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0503.html) (Server-side spaces).
- Promoted to Experimental (XEP Editor: dg)
Deferred https://xmpp.org/2025/04/the-xmpp-newsletter-march-2025/#deferred
If an experimental XEP is not updated for more than twelve months, it will be moved off Experimental to Deferred. If there is another update, it will put the XEP back onto Experimental.
- No XEPs deferred this month.
Updated https://xmpp.org/2025/04/the-xmpp-newsletter-march-2025/#updated
- No XEPs updated this month.
Last Call https://xmpp.org/2025/04/the-xmpp-newsletter-march-2025/#last-call
Last calls are issued once everyone seems satisfied with the current XEP status. After the [Council](https://xmpp.org/about/xmpp-standards-foundation/#council) decides whether the XEP seems ready, the [XMPP Editor](https://xmpp.org/about/xsf/editor-team/) issues a Last Call for comments. The feedback gathered during the Last Call can help improve the XEP before returning it to the Council for advancement to Stable.
- No Last Call this month.
Stable https://xmpp.org/2025/04/the-xmpp-newsletter-march-2025/#stable
- No XEPs moved to Stable this month.
Deprecated https://xmpp.org/2025/04/the-xmpp-newsletter-march-2025/#deprecated
- No XEPs deprecated this month.
Rejected https://xmpp.org/2025/04/the-xmpp-newsletter-march-2025/#rejected
- No XEPs rejected this month.

XMPP at FOSDEM 2025 https://xmpp.org/2025/03/the-xmpp-newsletter-february-2025/#xmpp-at-fosdem-…
During February 1st and 2nd, the [XSF](https://xmpp.org) was present at [FOSDEM 25](https://fosdem.org/2025/) in Brussels, Belgium. The XMPP community took part of the Realtime Lounge, a corner located on the 2nd floor of the K building, where several open source projects around [Real Time Communication (RTC)](https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/track/rtc/) can present themselves.
We are pleased to say that there was a lot of interaction at the XMPP booth! A rather large number of FOSDEM visitors had the opportunity to come say “Hi!”, meet, interact, talk and have interesting conversations with many of the developers of the most popular clients, servers, tools and libraries that power the whole XMPP ecosystem and bring it to life.
In addition to the activities that took place on the XMPP booth, [Jérôme Poisson (Goffi)](https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/speaker/jerome_poisson_goffi/) hosted a most interesting presentation in the [Real Time Communication (RTC)](https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/track/rtc/) room, titled: [A Universal and Stable API to Everything: XMPP](https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-5721-a-universal-a….
And, of course .. we had the coolest swag, and plenty of stickers! ;)

Extensions and specifications https://xmpp.org/2025/03/the-xmpp-newsletter-february-2025/#extensions-and-…
The XMPP Standards Foundation develops extensions to XMPP in its [XEP series](https://xmpp.org/extensions/) in addition to [XMPP RFCs](https://xmpp.org/rfcs/). Developers and other standards experts from around the world collaborate on these extensions, developing new specifications for emerging practices, and refining existing ways of doing things. Proposed by anybody, the particularly successful ones end up as Final or Active - depending on their type - while others are carefully archived as Deferred. This life cycle is described in [XEP-0001](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0001.html), which contains the formal and canonical definitions for the types, states, and processes. [Read more about the standards process](https://xmpp.org/about/standards-process/). Communication around Standards and Extensions happens in the [Standards Mailing List](https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards) ([online archive](https://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/standards/)).
Proposed https://xmpp.org/2025/03/the-xmpp-newsletter-february-2025/#proposed
The XEP development process starts by writing up an idea and submitting it to the [XMPP Editor](https://xmpp.org/about/xsf/editor-team/). Within two weeks, the [Council](https://xmpp.org/about/xmpp-standards-foundation/#council) decides whether to accept this proposal as an Experimental XEP.
- [Server-side spaces](https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/spaces.html)
- This document defines an XMPP protocol to cluster several groupchat rooms together.
New https://xmpp.org/2025/03/the-xmpp-newsletter-february-2025/#new
- No new XEPs this month.
Deferred https://xmpp.org/2025/03/the-xmpp-newsletter-february-2025/#deferred
If an experimental XEP is not updated for more than twelve months, it will be moved off Experimental to Deferred. If there is another update, it will put the XEP back onto Experimental.
- No XEPs deferred this month.
Updated https://xmpp.org/2025/03/the-xmpp-newsletter-february-2025/#updated
- No XEPs updated this month.
Last Call https://xmpp.org/2025/03/the-xmpp-newsletter-february-2025/#last-call
Last calls are issued once everyone seems satisfied with the current XEP status. After the [Council](https://xmpp.org/about/xmpp-standards-foundation/#council) decides whether the XEP seems ready, the [XMPP Editor](https://xmpp.org/about/xsf/editor-team/) issues a Last Call for comments. The feedback gathered during the Last Call can help improve the XEP before returning it to the Council for advancement to Stable.
- No Last Call this month.
Stable https://xmpp.org/2025/03/the-xmpp-newsletter-february-2025/#stable
- No XEPs moved to Stable this month.
Deprecated https://xmpp.org/2025/03/the-xmpp-newsletter-february-2025/#deprecated

Movim 0.29 (code named “Rankin”) is the first XMPP client that implements “Stories” ([XEP-0501](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0501.html) (Pubsub Stories)), a very nice way to share content with your contacts and allow them to react easily by chat. It also introduces “Briefs”, a simpler way to create a short publication that only consists of a text and some medias on your profile or in your Communities. Version [0.29.1](https://mov.im/community/pubsub.movim.eu/Movim/movim-0-29-1-is-out-time-to-upgrade-XMpha9) comes with a more polished and improved “Stories” feature, database fixes as well as some preparatory work for the PHP 8.4 version.

- [A Universal and Stable API to Everything: XMPP](https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-5721-a-universal-a…: “Nowadays, most services provide APIs with their own formats, and sometimes multiple versions, which may change over time. But there is a universal API, with an excellent track record of stability and backward compatibility: XMPP!. In this talk, I’ll show how XMPP can be more than just an Instant Messaging protocol, and how it can be an extremely powerful tool to access almost anything, from third-party networks (IM, microblogging, etc.) to file sharing, automation (IoT), and more. “.

Extensions and specifications https://xmpp.org/2025/01/the-xmpp-newsletter-december-2024/#extensions-and-…
The XMPP Standards Foundation develops extensions to XMPP in its [XEP series](https://xmpp.org/extensions/) in addition to [XMPP RFCs](https://xmpp.org/rfcs/).
Developers and other standards experts from around the world collaborate on these extensions, developing new specifications for emerging practices, and refining existing ways of doing things. Proposed by anybody, the particularly successful ones end up as Final or Active - depending on their type - while others are carefully archived as Deferred. This life cycle is described in [XEP-0001](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0001.html), which contains the formal and canonical definitions for the types, states, and processes. [Read more about the standards process](https://xmpp.org/about/standards-process.html). Communication around Standards and Extensions happens in the [Standards Mailing List](https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards) ([online archive](https://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/standards/)).
Proposed https://xmpp.org/2025/01/the-xmpp-newsletter-december-2024/#proposed
The XEP development process starts by writing up an idea and submitting it to the XMPP Editor. Within two weeks, the Council decides whether to accept this proposal as an Experimental XEP.
- No XEPs proposed this month.
New https://xmpp.org/2025/01/the-xmpp-newsletter-december-2024/#new
- Version 0.1.0 of [XEP-0501](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0501.html) (Pubsub Stories).
- Promoted to Experimental (XEP Editor: dg)
- Version 0.1.0 of [XEP-0502](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0502.html) (MUC Activity Indicator).
- Promoted to Experimental (XEP Editor: dg)
Deferred https://xmpp.org/2025/01/the-xmpp-newsletter-december-2024/#deferred
If an experimental XEP is not updated for more than twelve months, it will be moved off Experimental to Deferred. If there is another update, it will put the XEP back onto Experimental.
- No XEPs deferred this month.
Updated https://xmpp.org/2025/01/the-xmpp-newsletter-december-2024/#updated
- Version 0.2.0 of [XEP-0480](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0480.html) (SASL Upgrade Tasks).

- Version 0.2.0 of [XEP-0501](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0501.html) (Pubsub Stories).
- Add pubsub#item_expire in the node configuration (tj)
Last Call https://xmpp.org/2025/01/the-xmpp-newsletter-december-2024/#last-call
Last calls are issued once everyone seems satisfied with the current XEP status. After the Council decides whether the XEP seems ready, the XMPP Editor issues a Last Call for comments. The feedback gathered during the Last Call can help improve the XEP before returning it to the Council for advancement to Stable.

Version [4.9.1](https://github.com/igniterealtime/Openfire/releases/tag/v4.9.1) is a bugfix and maintenance release, whereas version [4.9.2](https://github.com/igniterealtime/Openfire/releases/tag/v4.9.2) is a bugfix release. You can read the full [changelog](https://download.igniterealtime.org/openfire/docs/latest/changel… for more details.
- [MongooseIM](https://www.erlang-solutions.com/technologies/mongooseim/) version [6.3.0](https://github.com/esl/MongooseIM/releases/tag/6.3.0) has been released. The main highlight is the complete instrumentation rework, allowing integration with Prometheus. Additionally, CockroachDB has been added to the list of supported databases for increased scalability. See the [release notes](https://github.com/esl/MongooseIM/releases/tag/6.3.0) for more information.
- The [(non-official) Prosody app](https://github.com/anubister/prosody_ynh) for Yunohost has now reached a beta maturity opening it for everybody to test. This variant aims at providing better XMPP support for Yunohost users. In comparison to official Metronome and Prosody apps, this app enables A/V calls working out of the box. An optional import of rosters, MUCs, and bookmarks from Metronome is also provided. As a reminder, Yunohost is a server distribution based on Debian, which makes it easy to host a lot of services (apps) by yourself. Till the last major release (version 12), Metronome was integrated in the core installation, allowing a lot of people to discover XMPP easier (though with some limitations).

Extensions and specifications https://xmpp.org/2024/12/the-xmpp-newsletter-november-2024/#extensions-and-…
The XMPP Standards Foundation develops extensions to XMPP in its [XEP series](https://xmpp.org/extensions/) in addition to [XMPP RFCs](https://xmpp.org/rfcs/).
Developers and other standards experts from around the world collaborate on these extensions, developing new specifications for emerging practices, and refining existing ways of doing things. Proposed by anybody, the particularly successful ones end up as Final or Active - depending on their type - while others are carefully archived as Deferred. This life cycle is described in [XEP-0001](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0001.html), which contains the formal and canonical definitions for the types, states, and processes. [Read more about the standards process](https://xmpp.org/about/standards-process.html). Communication around Standards and Extensions happens in the [Standards Mailing List](https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards) ([online archive](https://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/standards/)).
Proposed https://xmpp.org/2024/12/the-xmpp-newsletter-november-2024/#proposed
The XEP development process starts by writing up an idea and submitting it to the XMPP Editor. Within two weeks, the Council decides whether to accept this proposal as an Experimental XEP.

Last Call https://xmpp.org/2024/12/the-xmpp-newsletter-november-2024/#last-call
Last calls are issued once everyone seems satisfied with the current XEP status. After the Council decides whether the XEP seems ready, the XMPP Editor issues a Last Call for comments. The feedback gathered during the Last Call can help improve the XEP before returning it to the Council for advancement to Stable.

Extensions and specifications https://xmpp.org/2024/10/the-xmpp-newsletter-september-2024/#extensions-and…
The XMPP Standards Foundation develops extensions to XMPP in its [XEP series](https://xmpp.org/extensions/) in addition to [XMPP RFCs](https://xmpp.org/rfcs/).
Developers and other standards experts from around the world collaborate on these extensions, developing new specifications for emerging practices, and refining existing ways of doing things. Proposed by anybody, the particularly successful ones end up as Final or Active - depending on their type - while others are carefully archived as Deferred. This life cycle is described in [XEP-0001](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0001.html), which contains the formal and canonical definitions for the types, states, and processes. [Read more about the standards process](https://xmpp.org/about/standards-process.html). Communication around Standards and Extensions happens in the [Standards Mailing List](https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards) ([online archive](https://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/standards/)).
Proposed https://xmpp.org/2024/10/the-xmpp-newsletter-september-2024/#proposed
The XEP development process starts by writing up an idea and submitting it to the XMPP Editor. Within two weeks, the Council decides whether to accept this proposal as an Experimental XEP.
