the problem about google is not adding a gmail exception
-
fippo
it's having to add a hosted-on-google-apps exception
-
fippo
so that would be an exception for anything whose srv records points to xmpp-server.l.google.com. or any of it's 1.l, 2.l, 3.l or 4.l cousins

How people see XMPP when they look at the server list on the xmpp.org site: https://twitter.com/bobpoekert/status/403302786747486209

If having implementations in many languages is 'crusty', it's not clear to me that crusty is a bad thing.

Kev
The list of dead servers is another matter.

Lloyd
Have you read the replies? A comment that came up in Portland, many in the list aren't actively developed..
-
Lloyd
…what you just said :)

A policy of "Need to rerequest to be added each year" might cause some of the abandoned things to drop off.
-
Lloyd
Was just thinking about that. Problem is that it increases admin effort (albeit a small amount) and do we prod projects or do they have to come to us? (I know my answer there).

Date of last release as a column? Automate it somehow?
- MattJ thinks aloud
-
Kev
MattJ: I'm not sure 'date of last release' is as good a metric as 'authors are prepared to relist'.
-
MattJ
Last release >1y, project is not active?
-
Kev
I don't think that's true.
-
Kev
Or, at least "Getting new stuff added" isn't terribly important, "authors are still looking after it" is.
-
Lloyd
agreed. If there's someone willing to put the effort in to get their server relisted you can be fairly sure the project is active.
