I propose that we do SFS, and drop the others. It's a bit silly having three file sharing things.
Last time this wes discussed there was a proposal to make Jingle File Transfer use XEP-0446 for metadata, at which point the logical update for SIMS (if it got made) would be to use that also, and then SIMS becomes basically a namespace change away from SFS anyway.
Yes... I think SFS could have been an edit to SIMS, in retrospect, but it's possible I'm missing some history about why it wasn't. But anyway, agreed that Jingle FT could be made to use XEP-0446, though I'd be curious about Jingle FT implementation levels.
OOB is Stable, I suggest we move it to Deprecated.
What's wrong with OOB? It's currently the only thing actually widely implemented (even if implemented poorly in some cases).
Do we need it if we have SFS? And if so, can we incorporate that use-case into OOB? It's OK to have legacy code using legacy methods, but the intent of deprecating would be so we didn't need OOB outside backwards comnpatibility cases. Dave.
