Modern XMPP project discussion - 2020-12-06


  1. jonas’

    do we have general terms for the chat room domain in german yet?

  2. zapb

    Like "gruppen"?

  3. jonas’

    probably

  4. wurstsalat

    jonas’: in which context do you want to apply that term?

  5. jonas’

    I’m translating my snikket config

  6. wurstsalat

    I'd probably go with 'Gruppenchat-Server' or something like that. 'Gruppen' is already close to roster groups

  7. Holger

    Does 'modern XMPP' have roster groups? :-)

  8. Link Mauve

    In general it might be a good idea to move towards considering them as tags, which they are.

  9. wurstsalat

    moving away from the traditional roster concept, I think this is a good idea

  10. lovetox

    hm not sure

  11. lovetox

    my company recently forced us to use teams

  12. Zash

    Mmmmm Enterprise

  13. lovetox

    first i started opening chats with coworkers, and hat these long chatlist with different people

  14. lovetox

    but in the work env its often important to see who is online and who is not

  15. lovetox

    you dont want to start typing random names and wait for them to come up to see this

  16. lovetox

    i want to knwo who is online from a whole department etc

  17. lovetox

    so i know who i can write to

  18. lovetox

    so naturally the second thing i did is looking where i can add contacts to some kind of roster

  19. lovetox

    and make groups

  20. lovetox

    and Teams has that

  21. lovetox

    so this is basically the good old roste rwith groups

  22. Zash

    Also chats? Or is that groups? So confused.

  23. lovetox

    yes its 2 views

  24. lovetox

    one is the chatlist

  25. lovetox

    like Dino hs

  26. Zash

    Tons of views, all confusing

  27. lovetox

    the you can switch to the "Contacts" view

  28. lovetox

    and there you simply have a roster with groups

  29. lovetox

    and see who is online

  30. lovetox

    but i can see that for private use

  31. lovetox

    the "Contacts" view is not really important

  32. lovetox

    because privatly on phones etc

  33. lovetox

    i dont care if someone is online

  34. lovetox

    everyone is online all the time

  35. lovetox

    it simply doesnt matter

  36. lovetox

    but in work context this is a must have
