XSF Discussion - 2021-01-20

SamWhited, I seem to recall the XEP was full of suggestions for use, and then people complained that it had no business in the XSF and all that was moved to https://docs.modernxmpp.org/client/design/#auto-generated-colors

jonas’: I wonder if we as the XSF can add a non-normative link to that URL with a short sentence along the lines of "An IM client implementation may use this approach to achieve consistency with other IM clients: "

yes, I put that on my mental todo this morning.

stp, on the whole coloring thing, looking at poezio, as we had a limited supply of colors available, the first way coloring was implemented on mucs was "more active users get more distinguishable colors", and that is an interesting take but ultimately it’s a pain in the neck for most people to adapt to

mathieui: especially if it's inconsistent over time

the xmpp.org XMPP server doesn't have IPv6 since October. Is that deliberate? Permanent?

Not deliberate or permanent

Oh, Docker?

Not Docker

Docker doesn't support IPv6 ?

IPv6 doesn't support Docker

It disables it by default

mathieui, The problem with that concept is that colors of users would change on-the-fly which isn't good.

Ge0rG, I don't see any problem with IPv6.

Zash: I'm sorry, I was confused. Or rather, my local smokeping instance is confused and incapable of pinging xmpp.xmpp.org for $yak_reasons

But well, maybe it's not a yak but a cat.

Is there a special IPv6-related Schrödinger's Cat?

🐈

| <- xmpp.org [s2sin55d0298c9cf0] (authenticated) (SASL) (encrypted) (IPv6) | -> xmpp.org [s2sout55d028db5c30] (authenticated) (SASL) (encrypted) (IPv6)

My prosody claims to use v6 for s2s to xmpp.org…

jonas’: thanks, I hadn't seen that one

Possibly Jingle-related: I see there's a whole pile of RFCs published in the last few days, many seem related to video conferencing

Still open for review or additional link suggestions: https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/871

Hard to read on mobile :D ✏

marc, I understand. try "Files changed" one of the mid-ribbon tabs, then switch from raw view to preview

https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/871/files?short_path=cd0649b#diff-cd0649bb21662ef0cd3e4e34f4ca9c3c35a35fc0e5c982a08ce99c3e52c857fb

hope this works

emus, l39, " – and if not yet, it is open for your modification in the future - and if not yet, it is open for you to make modifications in the future to make it do what you need." ?

yes, if forgot to change

one told me yeasterfay

yesterday

fixed!

Actually, is there any approval necessary for blog articles?

emus: I wanted to read and provide some comments as well

emus: ping?

pong?

emus: how would you like feedback to the PR? GH comments? direct message? In here?

I most appreaciate comments in the PR, but everything is fine what suits you best

Anyone plan further feedback on the blog post?

I was going to ask if you wanted feedback on the English or if someone was planning on giving it a general editing pass before publishing?

I don't want to nitpick grammar and what not if it's not helpful

SamWhited, just do it!

I dont know which native has been reading it yet, so that would be highly appreciated

I'll try to do a pass over it after work today then

ok

I see that link mauve has open several PRs with good improvements, may we have any volunteers being able to review or define necessary questions/actions? https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pulls/linkmauve
