about muc avatar

what is the last status

everyone puts hash in presence, but we have no xep

its a ok solution but not pretty as i cant get the avatar if im not joined

hash in disco info and on change a statuscode message with not security relevant config change

would be much prettier in my opinion

But somehow the current thing is mandated by the compliance checker, so it's become a de-facto standard. :(

Mandated by what?

The Conversations Compliance test thing.

https://compliance.conversations.im/test/vcard_muc/

Is there any reason why people call it "the" compliance checker?

Is there another one?

I can make one that outputs the hamming distance of the server name to "yax.im" as a compliance rating.

Please do

And by Hamming I of course mean Levenshtein.

What's the Levenshtein distance from Hamming to Levenshtein? ✏

the length of the words has to be the same in hamming d.

in levenstein you can compare words of different length

georg@bender:~$ python compliance.py yax.im 0 georg@bender:~$ python compliance.py xmpp.org 7 georg@bender:~$ python compliance.py conversations.im 12

I'd make it a web service, but it's using backtracking and will easily get me DoSed. OTOH it's still faster than xmpp.net

edhelas: can you open an issue on the repo
