    dwd, appreciate your email response to evgeny

  212. Guus

    as did I.

  213. flow

    Although I have to admit that evgeny's mail made me chuckle.

  214. flow

    But yeah, neither carlo's email nor the response added much or even any value to the discussion

  215. Guus

    Let's not single out one person - there's a lot of this going on, sadly.

  216. Guus

    It causes me (and thus very likely others) to not participate in discussions like this.

  217. Guus

    which hurts standards development (not that I'm bringing to much to the table, but if more people are discouraged, this becomes an issue real fast).

  218. Guus

    I literally discarded a draft email to that thread, for "I don't want to waste time arguing right now" reasons.

  219. Ge0rG

    the whole thread was tl;dr. Am I missing out on drama?

  220. igoose has left

  221. igoose has joined

  222. flow

    Feels more like a holy war than drama

  223. Guus

    much of the same: "everything is broken and you're not dipshits for even considering other options than my solution."

  224. Guus

    it's... discouraging.

  225. flow

    I tend to believe that this is something that can not be settled in a discussion, but has to be settled by the ecosystem

  226. Guus

    much of the same: "everything is broken and you're dipshits for even considering other options than my solution."

  227. oli has joined

  228. Guus

    flow I tend to agree. Sadly, implemenation in the ecosystem takes time, which fuels the 'why isn't this fixed yet' thought.

  229. dwd

    There's a conversation about behaviour in technical debate in the IETF list at the moment, but I'll say here what I'm currently writing there:

  230. dwd

    Yes, people should not be assholes - because it's vastly less efficient as well as the more obvious social things.

  231. Guus

    "... and you're all dipshits for not taking my word for that!" <-- right? 😉

  232. MattJ

    To be fair, maybe I missed something, but apart from two emails I found the discussions quite constructive so far

  233. dwd

    But also, it's worth picking out the technical argument from things and treating it independently from the aggression.

  234. Guus

    MattJ I'm not ruling out I've started to be oversensitive at a certain pressure point.

  235. dwd

    MattJ, I could cheerfully point out several emails in there that I felt added very little, if anything, to the technical debate.

  236. dwd

    MattJ, And, in addition, had a distinctly aggressive air.

  237. Seve

    "Please, everyone, ensure your messages are like an efficient light bulb - optimise for light, not heat." very spot on :D I like it very much (and it works with the jabber icon)

  238. flow

    MattJ, possibly. I also found the thread to be civilized for large parts. The "holy war" remark was not meant towards that specific thread, but the situation regarding rich(?) text in XMPP as whole.

  239. Zash

    Can we un-deprecate 71?

  240. neshtaxmpp has left

  241. neshtaxmpp has joined

  242. MattJ

    We can do anything, if you can convince the council

  244. neshtaxmpp has left

  245. neshtaxmpp has joined

  246. kokonoe has joined

  247. Guus

    It was deprecated solely because of the security implications, right? Specifically: that it's very complex to have an implementation that is secure.

  248. Guus

    Even though the spec itself does not have obvious security issues.

  249. Zash

    And the security problems are in the Web, not the spec. "Not markdown" has the same problems.

  250. MattJ

    Also the same web clients that had security flaws in their XHTML-IM often also had security flaws elsewhere (like not escaping nicknames)

  251. MattJ

    nothing to do with XHTML-IM

  252. Zash

    In fact, you can get the same problems without rich text support

  253. MattJ

    But not using XHTML-IM invites people to just dump it into the DOM

  254. MattJ

    But using XHTML-IM invites people to just dump it into the DOM

  255. MattJ

    waqas wrote a safe sanitizer for it, fwiw, and it's not complex

  256. Zash

    People will just dump "not markdown" through a markdown lib into HTML and dump that into the DOM

  257. dwd

    Well, the feeling in Council wasm't that XHTML-IM was the sole source of security issues, it was that it was very hard to avoid security issues.

  258. MattJ

    (it's linked from the modernxmpp docs)

  259. dwd

    And, in addition, that many uses of XHTML-IM went beyond the subset it mandates anyway.

  260. Guus

    I'm biased on this. Good thing I'm not on council 🙂

  261. alacer has joined

  262. Guus

    not biased - but I'm undecided.

  263. MattJ

    The opposite of biased? :)

  264. Guus

    I can't make up my mind.

  265. MattJ

    I agree it's not a simple issue

  266. Guus

    And if you're making fun of my English, I move that we start using Dutch as the primary language in here. Where I have the same problem, but at least you won't notice then. 😉

  267. MattJ

    However I tend to agree with Andrew Nenakhov that we shouldn't artificially limit what can be done (e.g. about text in hyperlinks)

  268. Guus needs moar coffee.

  269. MattJ

    Otherwise people will just make up their own stuff which will probably be worse in the long run

  270. alacer has left

  271. alacer has joined

  272. Guus

    agreed.

  273. dwd

    I'm also a big fan of "I've implemented this and it works".

  274. MattJ

    Right

  275. debacle has left

  276. dwd

    Not saying we should just adopt those ideas wholesale and verbatim, but it does strongly suggest there's some solid ideas to get from the work.

  277. MattJ

    Also the argument that OOB exists and works isn't accurate, OOB is a hack implemented by Conversations and adopted by others

  278. MattJ

    I'm not against OOB (in fact I like it), but Conversations has broken it (<desc> can't be used, for example)

  279. dwd

    Also it's implemented by others is wildly varying ways - I've been doing a lot with it recently.

  280. dwd

    Gajim, for example, requires the URL in the <body/> to triger rendering the OOB.

  281. MattJ

    That's from Conversations

  282. MattJ

    https://docs.modernxmpp.org/client/protocol/#communicating-the-url

  283. MattJ

    I guess "and Gajim" can be added there

  284. Zash

    That behavior originated in Conversations

  285. MattJ

    and there are two reasons, one of which is that Daniel didn't want to have to change the DB schema :)

  286. Zash

    And before that it was just the URL by itself in <body>

  287. MattJ

    The other is that it's a sensible fallback, and ensures that a user of a fallback client client doesn't lose any info

  288. pep.

    "I'm also a big fan of "I've implemented this and it works".", Poezio and gajim have implemented xhtml-im and it works :P

  289. MattJ

    :)

  290. jonas’

    10:39:10 dwd> I'm also a big fan of "I've implemented this and it works".

  291. jonas’

    I’m not

  292. jonas’

    especially not with influential implementations.

  293. jonas’

    because it’s typically already deployed in the wild at that point and then everyone *has* to follow suit

  294. jonas’

    (Styling intended)

  295. pep.

    Yeah, I'm also half-half on that, mostly because of what jonas’ says

  296. dwd

    Hence the follow-up statement.

  297. pep.

    I need to reply to that thread anyway.. noticed a few funny statements (if only a few)

  299. Andrew Nenakhov has joined

  300. lovetox

    you dont understand the reasons behind the oob thing

  301. lovetox

    also its weird dwd that you want to control what the client of another person shows or does

  302. lovetox

    its really nothing you should think about

  303. alacer has left

  304. lovetox

    btw you dont have to use oob at all with Gajim, if the user chooses he can let Gajim show and load *all* links, it doesnt matter if they have a oob element or not

  311. dwd

    lovetox, I'd just like to send an image to someone. It's not about controlling if the user sees it inline or not, it's about expressing intent.

  312. dwd

    lovetox, Compare and contrast with RFC 2183, which allows people to indicate if the MIME part is intended to be an attached file or an inline portion of the message.

  321. lovetox

    yes your intent is declared when you use oob

  322. lovetox

    you dont need to follow body==oob url logic

  323. oli has left

  324. oli has joined

  325. peter has joined

  326. rtq3 has joined

  327. lovetox

    if a user uses http upload to share a picture, he communicates a URL, i as a client add a oob tag to tell another client, that the intent is a shared image that the user specifically uploaded, so not a copy paste of URL from somewhere

  328. lovetox

    because we also need a fallback for clients that dont support oob, this results in oob url == body

  329. lovetox

    for this particular case of sharing something

  330. alacer has joined

  331. lovetox

    that does not mean that oob cant be used in other ways , like adding a description

  332. lovetox

    if your client has support for adding a description to uploaded content, tell me and i will make it look good in Gajim

  333. lovetox

    i didnt saw something like that though until now

  334. MattJ

    lovetox, the problem is that if you put anything in <desc> it is ignored by Conversations, and any other client

  335. MattJ

    so the sensible thing to do would be to put the <desc> content also in <body> for fallback clients

  336. lovetox

    yeah and? open a issue on their tracker for it

  337. MattJ

    But then Conversations will stop displaying it inline

  338. MattJ

    Daniel knows about it and doesn't want to fix it, because it would require a schema change in the Conversations database

  339. lovetox

    yeah and?! Because one client does not support something now we stop using it?

  340. MattJ

    I mean, he didn't say he would never fix it, but it's not priority, and it means that <desc> can't be used in practice today

  341. lovetox

    i dont get this kind of argument

  342. MattJ

    Tell that to all the users of Conversations :)

  343. dwd

    lovetox, But opening an issue on the tracker would surely be trying to control how a client presents some data?

  344. MattJ

    "When your client sends me a message, it doesn't display"

  345. Zash

    "It doesn't work in IE"

  346. lovetox

    then he doesnt see the description

  347. lovetox

    whats the difference to now where you cant add one

  348. lovetox

    because it doesnt show it inline anymore

  349. lovetox

    so you want to control how the image is displayed

  350. Zash

    If you wanna make everything worse, send the description in a separate message.

  383. wurstsalat has left

    Well since xmpp stands for messaging and *Presence* protocol, I could hardly call Conversations an XMPP client at all 😂 XMP, or XMPp at best

    "MattJ> But then Conversations will stop displaying it inline" maybe someday we'll finally rename to The Conversations Protocol.

  387. jonas’

    conversations does funny things when you simply slap an OOB tag on all the links

    Well that's a conversations problem..

  389. wurstsalat has joined

  390. Andrew Nenakhov

    Btw, is it just me unable to find a setting, or there are no roster groups at all?

  391. Zash

  392. flow

    Andrew Nenakhov, possibly there are not roster groups at all

  393. Zash

    Define "roster groups"

  394. Seve

    They are, but look like tags, I think

  395. flow

    you don't have to add every aspect of the protocol to your (G)UI, and some argue that they do more harm than good

  396. Andrew Nenakhov

    Seve, I can't find even tags now

  397. oli has left

  398. dwd

    Roster groups in COnversations are indeed displayed as tags. It's a reasonable rendering of what they are, in fairness.

  399. 404.city has left

  400. 404.city Support has left

    hm, I find tags much more useful

  413. Andrew Nenakhov

    My co-workers don't. We are using Xabber for Web as a daily driver desktop chat app. Briefly experimented with tag based groups, quicky dropped cause everyone hated it

  414. peter has left

  415. Andrew Nenakhov

    So like, 'redsolution' shared roster groups to list all active colleagues and their presences, 'developers' 'managers'

    the concept of a contact list is deprecated anyway. all you need is a search/address bar where you can type things.

    Andrew Nenakhov: or is everybody managed by FSB now?

  430. Andrew Nenakhov

    jonas’, the main use pattern of using groups was to scroll over them to see who's online, sorted by relevant groups.

  431. jonas’

    Andrew Nenakhov, I see

  432. jonas’

    I became headaches when thinking about how to deal with the situation where a user attempts to do conflicting changes to the same contact in multiple groups

  433. jonas’

    and I prefer the tags UI anyways

  434. Andrew Nenakhov

    jonas’, like, what conflicting changes?

  435. jonas’

    Andrew Nenakhov, or to put it another way: I found it to be confusing behaviour when changing a contacts name in one group affects the contact in another group

  436. Andrew Nenakhov

    jonas’, I don't find it confusing. Maybe because I have good interfaces.

  437. jonas’

    maybe

  438. Ge0rG

    if it's a tree, it's confusing.

  439. Ge0rG

    because you imply that one contact is multiple leafs.

  440. Ge0rG

    and if it's not a tree but a DAG, it's even more confusing because nobody will understand that.

  441. lovetox

    hm tags sound like a good idea

  442. jonas’

    lovetox, I think they are! https://sotecware.net/files/mlxc/02-tagsinput.webm

  443. Ge0rG

    lovetox: please fix the dialogs where a JID is split into locapart and domain first

  444. jonas’

    I have another clip somewhere where I showcase the UI to manage tags on a contact, but I can’t seem to find it

  445. Andrew Nenakhov

    jonas’, anyway, I fully understand the reasoning behind tags approach. It just didn't stick with my personnel do we dropped that option for now

    IBR, Anonymous registration, proxy settings etc

    if you think about it, to have a really good account creation/adding GUI you need to support a shitload of things

  471. rtq3 has joined

  472. lovetox

    you need Forms support with nice looking GUI, you need catpcha support with Forms, you need BOSH, http proxys, socks5 proxies, a lib that supports IBR really good with giving meaningful errors if something does not work

  473. Lance has joined

  474. lovetox

    and at last you need to handle the 7 different allowed methods that a server can offer you the IBR registration

  475. Ge0rG

    lovetox: what's your point, again?

  476. MattJ

    lovetox, if there really are 7 (which I hope not), I'm pretty confident you can ignore some of those

  477. lovetox

    that it sounds trivial to make a good add/creation dialog

  478. lovetox

    but it entails many things to do it really good

  479. MattJ

    I can think of simple (no form), form, or out-of-band

  480. Zash

    MattJ i referred to the table of death in the IBR xep

  485. MattJ

    Ha

  486. mimi89999 has left

  487. MattJ

    It doesn't actually seem that bad

  488. Ge0rG

    out-of-band registration _is_ bad.

  489. MattJ

    The table is possibly a little excessive. For a client that supports forms, it's basically telling you to always use that if the server offers it

  490. Ge0rG

    I mean it's working more or less on PCs, where it's not so hard to type a username and a password, but it really sucks on mobile

  491. pep.

    Ge0rG, agreed

  492. Ge0rG

    _especially_ if you need to solve some 64px klingon captcha on your 1080p 4" display.

  493. Ge0rG

    (which reminds me of the misdesigned xmpp compliance badges with the tiny fonts)

  494. Zash

    And guess how many clients actually support anything but username+password

  495. pep.

    You're making me sad

  496. Ge0rG

    3?

  497. jonas’

    Ge0rG, by "number installed" instead of "number of software projects"? likely! :)

    2. Server outage post-mortem

  552. ralphm

  553. Guus

    We've discussed this two weeks ago, iirc

  554. ralphm

    Right, I wasn't sure if it needs to be on here still.

  555. MattJ

    We did. Not sure we actually got anywhere though, or if there is anywhere left to go

  556. Seve

    Don't recall any action

  557. Guus

    I'd like to see if we want have improvements, and if so, discuss how we improve things.

  558. Guus

    ralphm volunteered to talk to intosi during practice about this.

  559. Guus

    (unsure what practice)

  560. ralphm

    Indeed I did, and haven't yet, so I will try today.

    3. Automagically merge PRs from authors.

  564. andy has left

  566. Guus

  567. ralphm

    MattJ?

  568. Guus

    ah, we're moving on.

  569. ralphm

    Guus: I'll first have that chat.

  570. ralphm

    (and put it as a todo in Trello)

  571. dwd

    Presumably you'd want to merge only on Experimental?

  572. MattJ

    dwd, yes

  573. MattJ

    This was prompted by a remark from zinid, and how he's frustrated by the round-trip times regarding publishing to (Experimental) specs where he is the author

  574. MattJ

    He'd like to commit, and see it rendered

  575. ralphm

    How would you implement this? Just allow authors merge control and have them merge themselves?

  576. MattJ

    My counter was that PRs are a typical workflow in just about any open-source project

  577. Ge0rG

    Is that worth the trouble of implementing some kind of access control system?

  578. MattJ

    Well right now the Editors are the access control system

  579. ralphm

    If he just wants to have things rendered, local rendering works just fine for me?

  580. MattJ

    ralphm, rendered for others to reference as well

  581. Ge0rG

    You can rather easily publish the rendered html

  582. MattJ

    Ge0rG, not on xmpp.org, obviously

  583. ralphm

    MattJ: do you have an idea on this would work?

  584. ralphm

    how

  585. Guus

    If we can automate more, I don't see harm in doing that. If the task of automating things takes more resources than doing things manually the next few years, I see no point in automating stuff.

  586. Ge0rG

    MattJ: obviously. But replacing the editors with some kind of bot that can check the identity of a github user against the author field in the XEP is not trivial

  587. MattJ

    I'd like to hear Editor feedback on this idea - I know jonas has made a lot of progress with automation

  588. Guus

    a second pair of eyes before we _publish_ things seems desirable, though.

  589. Guus

    What's there for board to decide, here?

  590. MattJ

    I'm just relaying feedback from an author, that the times between submission and publication can be long, and trying to avoid the "but we're all volunteers" response

  591. Guus

    if Editors choose to further automate things, yey for them.

  592. ralphm

    I'd be ok for the Editors to form their opinion on this and change (or not change) their processes accordingly.

  593. MattJ

    Guus, Board oversees the submission process, so I think it's a relevant point to receive feedback on that process from the people using it

  594. Guus

    we should try and optimize things, sure. People could also volunteer to take up the role of Editor - something that was requested repeatedly.

  595. ralphm

    I don't think it really affects our procedures.

  596. Guus

    MattJ I don't see this as a process change though?

  597. ralphm

    Guus: agreed, more Editors FTW

  598. MattJ

    Guus, not necessarily, no

  599. MattJ

    But you did make the comment about "a second pair of eyes"

  600. MattJ

    Anyway, if we want to conclude that this is up to Editors, that's fine by me

  601. Guus

    I'm not against automation at all. If Editors want this, and if we find someone to do the automation, by all means.

  602. ralphm

    MattJ: I do think for now this is up to the Editors

  603. MattJ

  618. nyco

    yep, I could ask, to double check

  619. dwd

    The logo is, IIRC, public domain isn't it?

  620. ralphm

    I *think* it is licensed Expat/MIT

  621. Guus

    I was going to *think* the same.

  622. Guus

    do we have that written down somewhere? 🙂

  623. MattJ

    I was pretty sure so, but I can't find any reference right now

  624. ralphm

    We have had. From my recollection it falls under our IPR policy. Would be good if stpeter remembers.

  625. ralphm

    I'll send an e-mail to ask

  626. dwd

    In any case, the copyright is owned by the XSF, so you can license it however you like, I think.

  627. ralphm

    weird, in scifi movies, when a spaceship reaches a planet, no one ever asks about time and timezones, they just land earth should do the same: one unique time for the whole planet, no timezone, just a "planetzone" and yes, some countries would have their mornings at 0:00 and some would go party in the night at 07:00 😉

  718. lovetox

    Neustradamus you want to replace a message when you correct it?

  719. lovetox

    then you lose the information what was corrected

  720. lovetox

    so the client cant show you what the message was before it was corrected

  721. lovetox

    why do you think the server should do this? the client can fuse the messages after receiving it

  722. Neustradamus

    To have only the last message in log, not the old message and the new message, example the Test 1 -> Test 2 for minutes ago, there are 2 entries in log.

  723. Ge0rG

    A log on the web is a different thing than a server archive.

    dwd: was the lack of a vote in your ATT mail by design or by accident?

  769. pep.

    In any case that was good feedback :)

  770. dwd

    Design. A veto seems like a last resort, I'd like to see what others say first.

  771. dwd

    But I am leaning toward a veto, as is probably obvious.

  772. jubalh has left

  773. lovetox

    why is it voting already

  774. lovetox

    it was my interpretation that after submitting something to the inbox the author can gather inital feedback and maybe improve the XEP

  778. lovetox

    ah but voting does not really change something

  779. lovetox

    the xep stays forever in inbox and can be improved

  782. Ge0rG

    It's merely a vote on assigning a number.

  783. peter has left

  784. Ge0rG

    dwd: I'd also love to see your vote on 412.

  785. Steve Kille has left

  786. Ge0rG

    And somebody else would love to get all votes on DoX before the weekend.

  787. dwd

    lovetox, In general, if something's veto'd, people ditch it.

  788. dwd

    lovetox, Also, I have an enormous pet hate of people working on documents in Inbox, excepting addressing veto feedback. There's a huge IPR hole they then fall into.

  789. dwd

    lovetox, Unless/until we accept a XEP and give it a number, it's really not clear whose copyright and license it is.

  790. lovetox

    so the right approach would be to submit the xep to the list before submitting it to inbox

    Ge0rG, didn’t DoX expire this week?

  797. jonas’

    Ge0rG, yeah, DoX expired and with the last meeting’s votes it was accepted

  798. jonas’

    I’ll publish it, but not on April 1st

  799. jonas’

    I find it too misleading

  800. jonas’

    it is intended to be taken serious, but the nature of it makes it look like it might not be. I don’t want any confusion around that.

  804. moparisthebest

    in my opinion, it has valid use-cases, but is also silly enough to be published on April 1st :)

    moparisthebest, people already complain enough about confusing things with our standards

  824. moparisthebest

    but what's confusing, it's a simple spec that has implementations, anyone that doesn't want it will ignore it, anyone that does might go "haha this was published on April 1st" but, what's the downside

  825. jonas’

    it’s "this was published on April 1st, is this serious, do people implement it, what?"

  826. moparisthebest

    that's fine, it's easily resolved, if it was published on April 2nd you still don't know if people implement it

    I don't like humorous XEPs, but in his defense this isn't

  830. moparisthebest

    it's a little humorous, we don't have a Type for that

  831. moparisthebest

    Type: Slightly Humorous Standards Track

  832. Zash

    Type: Art

  833. moparisthebest

    dwd: so you are for April 1st as well... 😁

  971. moparisthebest

    Yay that's another council member for!

  972. Ge0rG

    Haven't seen kev yet

  973. dwd

    I don't think, strictly, that the date of publication is something I can actually vote for or against, however.

  974. Ge0rG

    dwd: you can kindly ask the editor to do his duty on a given date.

    FWIW, I've never been particularly in favour of the "Humorous" track. But then, I'm in favour of more subtle jokes.

    Like a real spec with multiple independent implementations that is a bit silly and happens to be released on April 1st ?

  986. moparisthebest

    That's just good marketing

  987. Ge0rG

    I think that after we missed to assign the number 404 to a XEP that actually deserves it, we can have DoX on April 1st... @jonas’

  988. dwd

    Ge0rG, Hidden Jid support isn't bad.

  989. Ge0rG
