Modern XMPP project discussion - 2021-09-06

What kind of stuff should be written down on https://docs.modernxmpp.org/client/protocol/#avatars ?

Snikket apps are now using XEP-0084 and XEP-0172, and no vCards (I guess vCards may still be read for other contacts, but they don't publish them)

I was expanding the scope of the section into user profiles ('84 + '172, optionally '292) and typing words about the nice access / privacy controls I want everyone to have. :)

"Do not put avatar into vcard4!"

Please

## Profiles ### Avatar ### Extended Profile(??) ### Access Control(or privacy something?)

0398 might be useful to know whether publishing to 0084 is enough, or if a 0153 fallback would be useful for interoperability with older clients.

WIP ↑

LGTM

Maybe in the summary XEP list put (optional) next to 292

Zash: 0083 is a typo I guess?

Probably accidentally did the 'increment number' action in vim. :)

Thanks

Draft: https://github.com/modernxmpp/modernxmpp/pull/48

Can't you ask for reviews on draft PRs? What the git, hub?

its the point of draft prs to not attract review(er)s

That does not make sense to me.

Feedback on that text would be appreciated. It feels like 80% and I'm out of brains for today.

LGTM (g == great)

I'd like to include a specific size recommendation, I had to look up a couple of weeks ago what C was doing

Looks like I settled on 72KB pre b64

How many pixels do you get into that?

IIRC there's some recommendation in some XEP that probably seemed suitable in 2006, 64 or 96px squares or so. Might not look as great on todays hidpi screens and such

MattJ, ~100k final stanza?

I had a half-written sentence about how to math stanza size limit into a suitable pre-b64 size.

Wrote some notes into my local copy. Will sleep on it and try to finish it and un-draft it tomorrow.
