    Hey people Is there a how-to-contribute page on the website or repository? Maybe a few entry points depending on one's background?

    There isn't. If you're unsure of anything, feel free to ask here.

    The repository generally aims to gather some kind of community consensus, usually documenting what projects are already doing, or what everyone agrees they should be doing

    Just wondering, has anyone tried combining usernames and passwords into some unified format? Like a login.txt plus QR code, using which I can log in to multiple clients?

    Just wondering, has anyone tried combining usernames and passwords into some unified format? Like a login.txt plus QR code, using which I can log in to multiple clients? (Looking at https://github.com/modernxmpp/modernxmpp/blob/draft/docs/client/design.md#account)

    vroom, that has been discussed in the past, but there are obviously security concerns with putting a password into a QR code or .txt file

    There are better methods using invite codes or tokens

    But I don't think anyone is currently implementing anything like that for cross-device login, it will certainly happen at some point

    MattJ: I see, thanks.
