XMPP Council - 2018-11-13

council.agenda.append("re-discuss Resource Avatars ProtoXEP")

Damn, it's tuesday already!

just forward my mail? ;)

jonas’: why did you split the github URL into two lines? Crappy MUA?

Ge0rG, yes.

known bug in kmail

I'm -1 based on the new name alone.

why?

although, I heard that in recent history there was a XEP where the only objection was the title, and it was amended and then accepted in no-time ;-)

I already wrote on the standards@ MUC that "Resource" is a well-defined term in XMPP parlance and it's not what this XEP does

And I even proposed less-bad alternatives.

I didn't come up with good alternatives, though.

> This specification describes how to publish and retrieve avatars from XMPP resources. So now each of my clients has a face, eh?

"Entity Avatars"

or "Generic Avatars"

I also agree with MattJ's comment on the list, > I think in the spirit of Timothée's original post is not really related to avatars, but simply how to receive notifications of disco changes. and the proposed notification is MUC-specific

> "Entity Avatars" Server Avatar :0

I could finally embed the visual yak representation. Also a great thing for IBR
