The XMPP Extensions Editor has received a proposal for a new XEP.
Title: Pubsub Extended Discovery
Abstract:
This specification extends the discovery requests used with the XMPP
PubSub protocol by introducing mechanisms to discover linked nodes,
descendants, or metadata.
URL: https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/pubsub-extended-discovery.html
The Council will decide in the next two weeks whether to accept this
proposal as an official XEP.

Title: Pubsub File Sharing
Abstract:
This specification explains how to share files and optionally include
directory structures similar to filesystems over XMPP Pubsub. It
leverages XMPP Pubsub to enable notifications about file changes and
manage permissions, providing users with real-time updates and control
mechanisms. An optional mechanism is also specified for managing
uploaded files.

Good day, one and all!
I want to work on an XEP which would define "link collections", which I
think would also be useful for FASI (HTML invite page for XMPP), which
already indicates of articles, when articles are present (see attached
image).
See example profiles under "New Members" at https://libertylinks.io
Would Data Forms be the appropriate mean to achieve it?
Kind regards,
Schimon

Hello XMPP aficionados!
For a client joining a MUC, XEP-0045 defines a very strict order of events
(section 7.1). Is it allowable that a server sends _more_ events (that are
not in the list specified in XEP-0045)?
I've observed that in the wild, at least one implementation sends a
presence stanza 'from the room itself' (with CAPS), preceding the events
defined in section 7.1.
There is an argument to be made that the XEP defines the order of the
events, but leaves room for there to be 'more' events. One could argue that
this is in line with the extensible nature of XMPP.
On the other hand, I think that it's fair to say that this is stretching
things to an extent where it is not unreasonable for implementations to not
account for this (thus introducing potential interop issues).
I would like for the XEP to be more explicit, and either explicitly allow
or disallow this behavior. I have not quite made my mind up which way I
lean, to be honest. I'm interested in learning about the views on this from
the community.
For context, this has been previously discussed in the XSF Discussion MUC.
This is a link to the public message archive of that discussion.
