about Stateless Inline Media Sharing, cf https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0385.html#usecases-sending-photo it's not clear to me if the <media-sharing> element *has* to be a child of a <reference xmlns='urn:xmpp:reference:0'> tag or if it's OK if it's a direct child of <message>. I would think it's OK since examples are non normative and the text does not mention this <reference> but maybe I'm wrong?

nicoco, this XEP is probably not going to be adpoted

rather look at https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0447.html

but its all very experimental there are maybe 1 or 2 clients who support this only in parts

movim and cheogram android already implement 0385. I'll probably add 0447 too, to please all clients devs' tastes :) I have no opinion on which one is better.

Eh the 0447 says it doesnt support support body. That sounds bad for accessibility

MSavoritias (fae,ve): why so?

The current approach is the one that's bad for accessibility

Because correct me if i am wrong but: If I want to send a picture with an image description for people who cant see how would i do it?

There is a description element

So that the client can read the description instead of the image based on user preferences

<desc>

Ah it was in the file metadata xep. Makes sense.

Like pointing to it i mean

Kind reminder if anyone wants to throw their projects at thr beamer when we are at fosdem 🎥🎥🎥

We support SIMS in upcoming Swift stuff, FWIW.
