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).
We have a similar need to unambiguously reference FDP nodes in URIs, so if we can do
something suitably generic here - e.g. [node_uri]payload_type=(space|fdp), that would be
tremendously useful to us too.
