Hi,
there was work before, but not visible in the
standard@ process
AFAIK there is Kev's
<https://github.com/swift/protoxeps/blob/master/related-entities.md> and
a pad that I cannot find anymore, but which attempted to cover ACL too
IIRC. It had not been active for a while, hence my attempt to revive
"spaces".
I have a concern about using a trademark known for a
conflict about its name in
example (Apple Records), but IANAL, maybe it's fine. We have also said in the
council meeting that making up TLDs is not a good idea either (even if it's
fun, they can be registered anytime), there is the `.example` for that.
Oh, I can
change that. I just happen to be extremely
Shakespeare-illiterate and didn't want it to show too much.
My other concern is technical, I have the feeling that
we are re-inventing
pubsub on top on disco here, with actually using pubsub for subscriptions, and
Ad-Hoc for creation/deletion (which are built-in pubsub features).
I am probably biased because of the clients I am using, but it seems to
me that generic adhoc command support is more widespread than generic
pubsub support. I suspect this is because XEP-0060 is huge and scary,
which is something I specifically did not want this XEP to be.
Maybe we could add pubsub's mechanisms for creation/deletion too? Did
you have XEP-0248 (PubSub Collection Nodes) in mind too?
Anyway thanks a lot for the feedback!
Cheers,
