Which one to use: `authorization-identity` or `authorization-identifier`

by Andrzej Telezynski

Hello, I am confused about those two elements: `authorization-identity` and `authorization-identifier`. Are they equivalent? They seem to be used in the same context. Grepping the XEPS repo shows both are used: $ grep -rl authorization-identity ./xep-0484.xml ./inbox/xep-fast.xml ./inbox/sasl2.xml ./xep-0386.xml $ grep -rl authorization-identifier ./xep-0480.xml ./inbox/xep-downgrade-prevention.xml ./inbox/xep-scram-upgrade.xml ./inbox/sasl2.xml ./xep-0198.xml ./xep-0388.xml ./xep-0474.xml What confuses me is that they both are used in the same context, f. ex.: "XEP-0386: Bind 2" has `authorization-identity` in successful Bind response: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0386.html#example-4 <success xmlns='urn:xmpp:sasl:2'> <authorization-identity>user(a)example.com/AwesomeXMPP.4232f4d4 </authorization-identity> <bound xmlns='urn:xmpp:bind:0'> <metadata xmlns='urn:xmpp:mam:2'> <start id='YWxwaGEg' timestamp='2008-08-22T21:09:04Z' /> <end id='b21lZ2Eg' timestamp='2020-04-20T14:34:21Z' /> </metadata> </bound> </success> But "XEP-0388: Extensible SASL Profile" uses `authorization-identifier` https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0388.html#example-7 <success xmlns='urn:xmpp:sasl:2'>  <additional-data> dj1tc1ZIcy9CeklPSERxWGVWSDdFbW1EdTlpZDg9 </additional-data> <authorization-identifier>user(a)example.org</authorization-identifier> </success> Is it valid to use `authorization-identifier` in all those cases? What about other XEPS that use `authorization-identity` f. ex. "XEP-0484: Fast Authentication Streamlining Tokens" ? https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0484.html#example-3 It seems that clients need to expect both variants anyway. I am hoping for some advice or clarification, maybe I have missed something.

[XEP-0433] (Extended Channel Search): Search Form Fields

by Goffi

Hi, I'm currently implementing XEP-0433 (Extended Channel Search), nice work thanks. I have a couple of feedback: 1. I see in example 3 (https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0433.xml#example-3) a `min_users` field which is not described in https://xmpp.org/extensions/ xep-0433.xml#table-1, would it be possible to add it? 2. I think that it would be nice to specify recommended default values in the table. 3. The "sort" field is redundant and less powerful than XEP-0413 (Order-By), is there any reason to not use the later? 4. I feel that it would be useful to indicate somewhere the minimum of characters expected in a search query, so client doesn't send useless requests. Maybe via disco? Thanks! Goffi

New XEP proposal: Spaces

by Nicolas Cedilnik

Hello everyone, I just submitted https://github.com/xsf/xeps/pull/1426 with a rendered version at https://nicoco.fr/inbox/spaces.html This is an attempt at a minimal "spaces XEP". I remember reading a document a long time ago which looked impressively complete but did not turn into a XEP proposal. I suspect this is because the document attempted to cover everything, and there are very different use-cases for spaces, with different permissions models, ranging from fully public to completely private through "some rooms are public but some require being part of a subteam" etc. I tried a different approach here, attempting to lay the foundation of what is the minimum to cluster several groupchats without relying on a dedicated MUC service just for that. The slidge-based gateways for discord, mattermost and matrix already implement listing the "servers", "teams" and "spaces" of these networks via adhoc commands. I would very much like to make this a bit more generic (and standardised!) in slidge "core", the gateway library (and also expose in the disco#info of each room which "space" it is a child of). About the name, I called it "server-side spaces" because I think what Gajim already does with its workspaces is great and should be standardized at some point too, that would be another XEP, maybe "client(or user)-side spaces", later. I already gathered a little feedback from the xsf@ room, and incorporated it in the present submission. Looking forward to reading your feedback. -- nicoco

Commenting system based on XMPP

by Schimon Jehudah

Greeetings, ladies and gentlemen! First of all, I would want to congratulate Mr. Nicolas Cedilnik (nicoco) for creating a plugin to the publishing system Pelican. Reference: https://codeberg.org/nicoco/pelican-pubsub Second, I would want to create an HTML based commenting system service, and I would be glad to receive your consultancy on how to design it. By that, I mean, to which PubSub nodes should comments be published to. And then I will create a system based upon FastAPI and Slixmpp. P.S. Currently, there are three or four brands that provide commenting systems in a centralized fashion. Kind regards, Schimon

Splitting XEP-0455 (Service Outage Status)

by Mathieu Pasquet

Hi everyone, I have been thinking lately about updating XEP-0455 (and getting around to implementing it), and I find the initial semantics that I came up with a bit murky. My plan now is to remove the in-band events and outage planning entirely, to only keep the signaling part (using 0128) and the json format to describe an ongoing outage. I would also update the wording to say that a client should fetch the external address only if it does not manage to connect to the server. This way, the XEP will do one thing and do it quite efficiently, and the in-band events and planning can go into another XEP without being constrained by the requirements for (complete and ongoing) outages from 0455. Writing this to the list to collect some thoughts on the matter, or if anyone would be more interested in implementing this reduced version. Cheers, mathieui

XEP-0377: New option for Spam Reporting

by Guus der Kinderen

Hello, XEP-0377 describes a mechanism to report spam or abusive content to the local domain. While implementing the server-sided part of this, I was trying to think of useful processes that could follow a report. Some of those actions could include sharing the report with third parties, such as the origin server of the spam, or a centralized spam-related collection service (like xmppbl). There is a privacy aspect to this. An end-user that flags a particular message or entity might not realize or even appreciate that their report is being forwarded to others than the local domain. I suggest having an additional field added to the data structure that is already defined in the XEP. This field is used by the reporter to signal if they agree to share the report with third parties. Clients could present this option as a checkbox that reads something like "Allow this report to be shared with relevant third parties" (or better words). Kind regards, Guus
