XSF Discussion - 2019-12-28

I just read up on the character counting thread. That was amusing.

It was indeed.

hey everyone, I had some though about this "Team" thing and XMPP

the behavior that we have in Slack, Mattermost and others where groupchats are grouped together

I had actually people asking me if I could handle it in Movim and I was thinking about finding a way to declare it on XMPP server side

Hats and something?

my idea is to basically add a "urn:xmpp:team:0" to the MUC component where you want the MUCs inside it to be handled as a "Team"

and that's mostly it

and because you can declare vcards on components you can add a nice avatar and a title to it

and the client can use the disco#items to list the other rooms if the component and ask the user if he want to join them as well

et voilà

edhelas: I think this is related to something I want to do; have the MUC component advertise its defaults

indeed

Not necessarily fine-grained, but allow the client to identify if a particular component is good for making group chats or channels, to borrow the modernxmpp terms

yup

In Mattermost you should know that teams are more like multiple accounts than multiple MUC components btw

In Riot "communities" seem to be filters that can have users and rooms attached. And like, some description.

I'm sleepy right now, but let's definitely explore this more and get something written up

And yeah, I've been wondering if we can do (something better than) communities too

These things are all the same but different in subtle ways

Roster groups fit in there somewhere too
