Is there a mechanism for sharing PEP data in a MUC?

XEP-0316 I guess?

I don't expect it's supported anywhere; what do you actually want to do?

I want users in a MUC to be able to see things like User Mood and User Tune, etc.

how would you ensure that the MUC server doesn't tamper with the PEP data

same way we deal with messages (by not caring afaik)

signatures there would be neat though

You can get pep data just fine in a muc. What doesn't work is auto subscribing to participants

There is a reading of the pep spec that implies maybe it should work. But it does not in any implementation and you may not want it to for reasons

yeah I don't expect it to always happen, users should opt in to sharing that data

but I think notifications are essential here, I don't want to be polling every participant for every node

or do you mean explicitly subscribing to the node? does that work?

PEP is based around subscriptions, so you would need one if you want to avoid polling (which you do)

yes, but the normal way to use it has implied subscriptions

The normal way is that you tell everyone on your roster (who is interested) what media you're currently playing - they already have the subscription, other they wouldn't be on your roster ✏
