Dear XSF Members,
as you might have seen, Daniel Brötzmann (wurstsalat) not just rebuilt
our website and improved many many sub-pages, but also redesigned the
clients sub-page https://xmpp.org/software/clients/.
A key change is the use of DOAP files
(https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0453.html) primarily, if clients or
other offer those. If not, basic rendering is applied.
For the next step we would like to to hear your voice: Our plan is to
extend the view, present more information, and make it more usable.
This covers the following changes:
- a more detailed sub-page (or a collapse function) for each entry with
a tabular view of supported features / XEPs
- the first selection of a client would link to this overview (if DOAP
is available), not directly to the project's website. We believe that
this could also support projects, because they would not need to
maintain their own webpage or a specific sub-page for their client's
supported XEPs (if they don't want to invest the time)
- this project could also compare supported XEPs and/or compliance
levels, possibly with compliance badges
If wanted, we could most likely also compare client features in the end,
but we know its a controversial discussion.
Furthermore, we invite you to create and publish a DOAP for your project
(regardless what), too. You can start with one of the existing files.
Let us know what you think, just reply here.
Cheers
Ed (emus)
