I wonder if Mozilla is looking at XMPP as a replacement for IRC. See https://ahal.ca/blog/2019/fragmented-communication/
-
Seve
Thank you for sharing pdurbin, I will try to take a look at it. KDE moved to Matrix instead.

I personally wouldn't mind if they did choose Matrix (or XMPP)
-
MattJ
Both protocols are modern, open and decentralized, and that's what I care about most
-
MattJ
The XMPP<->Matrix bridge exists, but still needs some work, I'm sure it will only improve if Matrix expands
-
pep.
if it's interesting enough for Matrix to do so**, which entirely depends on us
-
pep.
(which is fine)
-
MattJ
True
-
Seve
Wouldn't they work on the bridge if XMPP gets more popular than Matrix
-
pep.
Seve, yes that's what I said
-
Ge0rG
Or, controversial idea ahead, somebody from our community volunteers to improve the bridge.
-
pep.
Why do the work when we can get people to do it for us? :-°
-

Is this defined work, e.g., a bunch of github tickets or whatever, or is turning this into a project part of the work?
-
pep.
It's like Daniel didn't write OMEMO implementations in every clients, client devs implemented it :)

Seve, "if XMPP gets more popular than Matrix" uh hasn't it always been?
-
Seve
:)
-
moparisthebest
seriously though? I tend to think XMPP has to have far more servers/users, just because it's older if nothing else

How did bridges evolve in the XMPP world?

thomas, can we help you?
-
Guus
Zash: we actually _should_ be asking Epic and NATO - hence my emailed request the other day.
-
thomas
no thanks ✏
-
thomas
i just have a try
-
Zash
Guus: So, how would we do that?
-
Guus
contact your friends in Nato, tell them about XMPP, ask if they want to showcase their usage through a testimonial, and if they're interested in working together more in the future.
-
Zash
Yeah, I'm so well-connected with NATO
-
Guus
Epic then. 🙂

i am one of the new xmpp dresden meetup and wanted to ask how to log in to a wiki xmpp account. thanks a lot.
-
pep.
https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Sysops
-
pep.
Then it depends on availability of these people
-
pep.
usually it's instant once you manage to get them :)
-
Zash
To login you would go to https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Special:UserLogin but as pep. notes you need a sysop to create you an account first
-
pep.
(note that they're also all available in this room)
-
Ge0rG
(also note that the process is much faster if you provide the required information with your question)
-
mondstern
in sysops it says that i should go to another muc and then ask again, right? so e.g. GeOrG hear in the muc in the other muc ask
-
Zash
Probably prefectly doable to ask here
-
Ge0rG
mondstern: you can ask here or via PM. It would be better anyway because I'm not joined to the other muc from my mobile client.
-
Ge0rG
I need an alias command for the second half of the Sysops page, apparently.
