Spec proposal: bookmark last known name
Hey everybody (bis), I submitted a(nother) proxoXEP today: <https://github.com/xsf/xeps/pull/1575>. A rendered version is at <https://nicoco.fr/bookmark-last-known-name.html>. The idea is for clients (or, wait for it: gateways) to set a bookmark extension "last-known-name" for MUCs in the PEP bookmarks. This last known name can then be used in the "start chat"-like dialog of clients for them to display a human-readable for the "chat" without (or before/while) querying its disco#info. Of course, this spec only makes sense if client developers think it does fill a gap. As a user, I know that there is a gap, because it happened a few times to me that I wanted to join a room from my new client, and couldn't figure out which bookmark item it was because it had never been joined before from this client (and the JID localpart was gibberish). Maybe it makes more sense to expect clients to disco#query all bookmark items instead. Side-note: maybe we should have some sort of registrar for standardized bookmark extensions, instead of having them all as separate XEPs? Maybe not. Community, what do you think? -- nicoco
