Hi!
XMPP Spaces are now described in https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0503.html .
A XMPP Space is a Pubsub node that contains bookmarks pointing to MUCs.
We would like to have a proper Space URI that allow users to invite
easily others to their Spaces. This will be added as a section to XEP 0503.
So far a Pubsub node is described in
https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0060.html#impl-uri
I'd like to have something short and transparent so I'm proposing
something like this:
Proposal 1: xmpp:spaces.server.tld?;node=x56ae32&space
I'm wondering if something shorter like this is possible ? (where the
client is resolving the "space" parameter as the Pubsub node)
Proposal 2: xmpp:spaces.server.tld?;space=x56ae32
The goals are
* to prevent non "space-ready" XMPP clients to open it as a Pubsub
node by mistake
* have something short and easily shareable (Discord is having
something like this https://discord.gg/AP5HFj7w)
If one of the proposals is okay for you I'll propose a PR on 0503 and
make the changes in Movim (I'm sure nicoco will be able to do it in
Slidge, the other 0503 implementation).
Because this is having effect on the XMPP uris format I'm wondering if
there's some kind of rules or specific requests to follow ?

Hello Council and XEP Editors,
I would like to request reactivation of XEP-0346: Form Discovery and
Publishing.
The XEP is currently Deferred due to lack of activity. We are building
an alpha/prototype XMPP client, Tiedragon Teletyptel 2.0, and during
implementation of poll support we found that XEP-0346 is highly relevant
as a general mechanism for discovering and publishing forms.
Our current implementation is not production-ready, but we have running
code and a concrete use case:
- user-facing polls in 1:1 and MUC conversations
- form templates based on XEP-0004
- possible publication/discovery through PubSub
- accessibility and total-conversation workflows where structured forms
are useful beyond polls
We do not want to depend on a Deferred XEP as if it were stable.
Instead, we would like to help revive discussion and provide
implementation feedback from an alpha implementation.
The initial use case is poll creation and voting, but the broader need
is reusable form discovery/publishing for XMPP applications.
Would the Council / Editors be open to moving XEP-0346 back to
Experimental if we submit a substantive update or implementation notes?
If useful, I can prepare a pull request with:
- updated motivation and modern use cases
- security/privacy considerations
- relationship to XEP-0004 and XEP-0060
- implementation experience from Teletyptel 2.0
- clarification of poll-style usage without making polls the only use case
Kind regards,
Edward Tie
Tiedragon
