XSF Discussion - 2011-12-13

Kev

Jef: you keep trying to talk to me several hours after I've gone to bed.

Kev

That's me.

xD

where is your timezone?

GMT

uhm

i don't know that one

well

i was going to ask you

that I was thinking of implementing a modification to xep135 in gajim before changing the xep itself

what do you think?

Prototypes are generally a good thing.

yea, and standards take a while to change

so beter use the time for something good

Kev, I have been told by Matt that it is not good to over-load the discovery namespace

do you know of any reason why it shouldn't be use to discover files in other computers?

I'm missing context.

hold on, let me give you a link

I'm not going to be reading much right now.

oh just said this:

I'm not sure it's a good idea to overload the disco request this way. Perhaps having the filter in a separate namespace would be ok, but I think perhaps it would be better to use another protocol for this.

talking about how xep135 looks for files in other computers

Disco seems like an appropriate way to discover available items, but I don't remember how it's being used.

I will go by that then, until someone gives a more compelling complaint

If either of the Matts have a complaint, it's probably valid.

well I will just talk to him then

I still need to process jef's patch for XEP 135, putting it in my calendar now....
