They republish it every year, really tired of this...

Same pattern of comments, xmpp devs explain _"it's not only xmpp"_, authors repeat _"whatabautism"_, Nenakov says they fixed it already but will release soon, matrix fanbois fanboi matrix, _"monolithic"_ is mentioned but it's double-speak for _"changes but we can't say that else it means we're not better than XMPP"_, so on and so forth. Sad that Arathorn didn't popup, I guess they have budget for some other person like `gefhfff`

The yearly HN thread? Maybe, don't care enough The top of the article says republished, and 3 more updates in the past. It gets a HN article after each update and such

It's not Newsletter material...

But as I started collecting things on that topic from.our side we can use it as a reason for response

What has changed since 2018 that you could formulate as an answer? Do note they just say "Use Signal" at the end.

^^ I cannot tell, but I would like to give the XMPP community here a positive way to make their "use xmpp" if it applies 🙂

Heh

Any last comments on current newsletter?

Does it have the BadXMPP logo in it? :)

doing now

emus, if you can hold for a few more minutes, I can quickly review it now

yes

many thanks

please refresh, you should see images

emus: line 34 the indent looks wrong, a tab before "Moreover"

Line 38 two space before "now"

thanks

Line 60 should be removed, right?

line 34: that is by intention and I recommend to look at the rendered view

38 fixws

fixed

well spotted

Reading in Fasthub Libre, yeah...can't PR these to see the proper stuff :(

60 fixed

Many thanks!

that was really quick

I also invite you to think about general improvements of the newsletter layout etc. I thought about putting parts of the headline to the end

*applied by next year

the next release will also be the last one for this year and as last year lets join the december release with the january one

Yay

Maybe we can also place the newletter logo we use in the twitter post usually

SouL: I postet a toot - unfortunatley the mobile interface is not good so no picture this time. but you can do so for the tweet: https://fosstodon.org/@xmpp/107225084583719985

hi just saw the news letter. We changed the open collective url of the mam plugin for xmppjs project to opencollective.com/bifrost-mam Can this be updated in the news letter?

praveen: hi praveen. yes I will try. But in general you are also invited to PR yourself. Happy hacking for your project!

emus, thanks

MattJ, once you have time for a new deployment that would be nice

Done

ah - great!

MattJ, thanks

praveen: I dont know if that is possible but evtl you could call the project for better reading: Bifrost bridge: Offline messages exchange between Matrix and XMPP CC: Sam

emus, sounds good

let me know if there is any other suggestion to the project description/about page
