what'd be the recommended procedure for new XEPs that use protocol described in deprecated XEPs?
-
stpeter
hmm
-
m&m
hrm
-
stpeter
good question
-
m&m
it probably depends on how the deprecated XEP made it there?
-
stpeter
which deprecated XEP?
-
Tobias
let me look it up from a conversation..one sec
-
stpeter
ok

Tobias: http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0265.html: XEP-0265: Out-of-Band Stream Data
-
Tobias
that's the one
-
Tobias
so?
-
stpeter
Tobias: sorry, I was in a video chat for the last 90 minutes...
-
Tobias
those hip kids with their fancy technology

stpeter
BTW, XEP-0265 is only deferred, not deprecated -- there's an important difference between "this went idle" and "this was a bad idea and we're phasing it out" :)
-
Tobias
ahh...rigth...misrememberd that
-
Tobias
and what's the recommended procedure in this case? have the author get the deferred XEP get active again?
-
stpeter
or have someone volunteer to take over maintainership
-

Tobias: Why do you want to resurrect 265?
-
Tobias
i don't, but someone writing a proto-XEP wants :)

stpeter
timezone changes are endlessly confusing -- I'm trying to figure out what the time will be UTC during an IETF WG session next Tuesday in Atlanta, after daylight saving time is done :)

Kill them with fire!
-
Tobias
stpeter, i though you've reduced your IETF time?
-
stpeter
Tobias: I did, but I'm still trying to extract myself from some commitments and people keep asking me to do things (like co-chair the BoF on video codecs so we don't all use H.264 forever!)
-
Tobias
so just use vp8 and let google pay eventual license fees :)
-
stpeter
right, the video-codec effort will attempt to standarize an open audio codec, much as we did for audio with the Opus effort
-
stpeter
I co-chaired the audio codec BoF, so people thought I might be a good person to co-chair the video-codec BoF :)
