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

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

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 :)
Zash
Kill them with fire!
Tobias
stpeter, i though you've reduced your IETF time?

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 :)
