[Standards] Re: Request to reactivate XEP-0346: Form Discovery and Publishing

Hello Council and XEP Editors, I would like to request reactivation of XEP-0346: Form Discovery and Publishing. The XEP is currently Deferred due to lack of activity. We are building an alpha/prototype XMPP client, Tiedragon Teletyptel 2.0, and during implementation of poll support we found that XEP-0346 is highly relevant as a general mechanism for discovering and publishing forms. Our current implementation is not production-ready, but we have running code and a concrete use case: - user-facing polls in 1:1 and MUC conversations - form templates based on XEP-0004 - possible publication/discovery through PubSub - accessibility and total-conversation workflows where structured forms are useful beyond polls We do not want to depend on a Deferred XEP as if it were stable. Instead, we would like to help revive discussion and provide implementation feedback from an alpha implementation. The initial use case is poll creation and voting, but the broader need is reusable form discovery/publishing for XMPP applications. Would the Council / Editors be open to moving XEP-0346 back to Experimental if we submit a substantive update or implementation notes? If useful, I can prepare a pull request with: - updated motivation and modern use cases - security/privacy considerations - relationship to XEP-0004 and XEP-0060 - implementation experience from Teletyptel 2.0 - clarification of poll-style usage without making polls the only use case Kind regards, Edward Tie Tiedragon _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list -- standards(a)xmpp.org To unsubscribe send an email to standards-leave(a)xmpp.org
