Siskin 6.2 was released, A/V fixes and finally group OMEMO ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶

Link it! ♪┌|∵|┘♪

> wurstsalat, Paganini: I'm working on a XMPP file sharing component that has no limit, the idea is to implement per user quota instead of per-file limit. That would be extraordinary!!!

> Was this guide posted? > [DE] https://www.heise.de/tipps-tricks/XMPP-was-ist-das-5006209.html Is there an english translation?

Licaon_Kter, where do you see that? github says 6.1 is their latest release

ah, I see a tag.

:)

MattJ is this about the DOAP? https://mastodon.technology/@mattj/105550456246975736

Yes

Ох куда папал

Саня: engrish pls

xmpp.org is from a user perspective a very poor entry point.

purplebeetroot: xmpp is not only shiny chat clients

I know.

purplebeetroot, it’s not meant to be an entry point for users. https://joinjabber.org/ is

But xmpp.org is also something many potential new user who search for xmpp will find at first.

Having it directed to both, dev/admins and enduser would be nice. A short note at the landingpage to joinjabber.org could be a quickly solved task. ✏

I’d be interested in who’s maintaining joinjabber.org

wurstsalat, people over at xmpp:joinxmpp@chat.cluxia.eu?join

thanks Link Mauve

purplebeetroot: XMPP is also a lot of voluntary work. Please consider this. We all know the weak spots of XMPP incl. media representation

emus: So you neither want nor need feedback?

Consider this, looking at project as an enduser tryn to find spots that *could* bring some great benefit, without costing much resources is also a voluntary work. If it is sensless to do so, I obviously gonna stop.

purplebeetroot: Yes, we need feedback of course. I just wanted to point out that you cannot expect very much people will do it directly. We also have Github, where we can organise feedback more, too.

Ok. Then feedback to your message: It is obviously to me thaf xmpp is a FLOSS project on a voluntary basis. I wouldn't be here if that wouldn't be the case. I'm thankfull for all xmpp has accomblished. Thank you for supporting xmpp. I don't expect anything I say to be implemented (not just for the reason limited resources, but also some suggestion might be not a good idea. .

About github. Sorry, I don't use github and will not support it with ny labor in any way. If a project is there, I don't fill in an issue. If they are on some opensource alternative, I do so from time to time

purplebeetroot: Is fine, just saying what you can currently expect. Of course we would like to ship a whole CommTeam with all the suggestion you made

emus: I'll hope to be able to invest more time to support xmpp in future. It's likly I'll do.

purplebeetroot: Alright, just let us know. As said, preparating or distributing XMPP newsletter is also a simple and good start
