    So you would suggest the author to create a MR per ProtoXEP or leave it up to them?

  2. mdosch

    Also, is `ProtoXEP: Title of the new XEP` instead of `XEP-XXXX: Title of the new XEP` an issue? Don't know whether I'm too strict when I ask to change that or not. :)

    Re https://github.com/xsf/xeps/pull/1003/files#diff-512dc13f3a81200a9c2fb1f66bfe27878c31f5aea42eabdfcda98d85c5f423daR32 → I am not aware that we have a policy on that, but I would welcome it if we could aggree that the shortname is either NOT_YET_ASSIGNED or assigned a unique shortname. I always wanted to add a lint check for that, would that be aggreeable?

  4. mdosch

    Sounds reasonable. Especially it's like that in the template and I see no reason to change it until one is assigned…

    mdosch, if you don’t find anything to complain about, leaving it as-is is ok

    (re proto xep splitting)

  8. jonas’

    flow, agreed-ish

  9. jonas’

    though I find the concept of trying to assign shortnames to XEPs a bit strange anyway

  10. flow

    I think the concept is great, but I would swap shortnames and numbers, i.e. shortnames should be the suffix of the XEP and a XEP number just something that is hidden in XEP the metadata

    XEP-0199 vs XEP-PING

    > mdosch, if you don’t find anything to complain about, leaving it as-is is ok > (re proto xep splitting) Thanks And regarding the subject?

  14. jonas’

    subject?

  15. jonas’

    title of the PR?

  16. jonas’

    add a `ProtoXEPs:` prefix and it’s good to go

  17. mdosch

    > subject? > title of the PR? Yes > add a `ProtoXEPs:` prefix and it’s good to go It has this one. It's just that triaging docs say `XEP-xxxx` but I read your answer as 'ProtoXEP is also ok.' 😃

  18. jonas’

    oh, I’ve always used ProtoXEP

  19. jonas’

    ha, that’s a bug in the docs I think

  20. jonas’

    I do prefer ProtoXEP over XEP-XXXX because it’s easier to distinguish from any other XEP-#### PR

  21. mdosch

    Ha. 😃

  22. mdosch

    I got so many questions today… :D If someone wants a certain pr merged after another pr. Do we add some "blocked by pr-xyz" or so? Also is this a reasonable way to have a quick syntax check? `xmllint --noout --dtdvalid inbox/xep.dtd inbox/stickers.xml`

    I feel I was causing unnecessary trouble when I thought I would make things easier. Sorry for that.
