Good day.
The XEP index is currently hosted over HTTP, and I think that it would
be a good idea to host it over an XMPP server as well.
Actually, until some time ago, I have used an HTML browser just to
access XEP pages, when I did use a browser.
I have also wrote an article about hosting sites over XMPP.

I am also eager to for the day when Libervia standardize an XEP for
forum, so that also discussions of XEP be feasible over XMPP with
Libervia and Movim.

Good day!
I want to create a weather bot which is not a component.
However, I would not be able to make a dynamic use of contact photo, as
I would with a component.
Because, it is not possible to selectively transmit contact photo.
I think, that this would have useful uses to different use-cases, so it
would be good to create an XEP to it.
Please advise,
Schimon

Hi everyone!
I've been trying to design a "verify with one-time code during
registration" flow using XEP-0389 (Extensible In-Band Registration).
Specifically, this is for registration on the server itself (not on an
external component) and I'm using the jabber:x:data challenge.
However, I realised there's no standard way for the client to know what
its username and password is once the registration is complete. The old
IBR spec (XEP-0077) uses special <username/> and <password/> fields
which the client can automatically save to avoid the user having to
re-enter it.
Since "username, password, and some additional verification step" sounds
like a common use-case for IBR, should this be added to the spec in some
way?
Some options:
1. Extend the jabber:x:data challenge to say something like: servers
MUST NOT use var='username' and var='password' for anything other than
username and password, and clients MAY save those values locally if
present to avoid forcing the user to re-enter them.
2. Alternatively, extend the jabber:x:data challenge to say it can
optionally include <username/> and/or <password/> tags as siblings to
the <x xmlns='jabber:x:data' type='form'> form itself.
3. Same as (2), but with a new challenge type to keep things simple for
those who actually want just an ordinary Data Form.
4. Define a new challenge type something like jabber:iq:register
consisting of only <username/> and <password/> fields from 0077 (not
sure what to do about <email/>, but I don't see a need for it). This is
different from just using 0077 directly because the server can issue
this challenge as part of a flow *along with* other challenges like
jabber:x:data or jabber:x:oob. The disadvantage is the server would have
to issue an extra challenge (once for the username/password, and again
for the email address or whatever other data it wants like phone number)
rather than combining them in one form/challenge. However, this approach
is arguably cleaner as it doesn't mix different kinds of things (data
forms and specific standardised fields) together.
Let me know what you think of the above. I hope I didn't miss something
entirely! If there are existing implementations of XEP-0389, it would be
helpful to see, although I don't find any on the XMPP software list.
Best,
Badri
Greetings.
Suppose that I want to access to data over PubSub which is encrypted
with OpenPGP.
I then would have the GPG key in order to access to that data.
Should the key be also stored over a PubSub node and then be
synchronized to resources that request it?
What would be a good practice to do it?
My use-case is of an annotation system which is based on Atom Over XMPP.

Version 1.0.1 of XEP-0421 (Occupant identifiers for semi-anonymous
MUCs) has been released.

This specification defines a method that allows clients to identify a
MUC participant across reconnects and renames. It thus prevents
impersonification of semi-anonymous users.

I would want to propose to replace the word "social" by another word.
The reason for this, is because "social" would imply of theme "social
network", even though this is not only for that theme.
This means, that some developers would be reluctant to add support for
XEP-0472 because they would be of the opinion that their software is
not intended for social network theme.
In order to avoid that misunderstanding, I suggest to rename the title.
Please advise.
Kind regards,
Schimon.
P.S.
Mr. Webber, has proposed to name Atom Over XMPP (i.e. XEP-0277 and
XEP-0472) as "Feeds" in the graphical interface of Cheogram.
In addition, Arne of monocles chat, JC Brand and Nicolas (nioc) are
alos in favour of adding support for Atom Over XMPP to their software.
I maintain a list of projects of which I petition for Atom Over XMPP.
