[Standards] XEP-0080: User Location
Hi all, In http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0080.html XEP-0080: User Location the table in 3. Data Format http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0080.html#format has errors: speed and uri have their columns in a different order. That said, this XEP has been designed with GPS in mind. We have now other geolocation technologies, like GSM (cell-id) and wifi (less accurate). Should we still stick to GPS only? Or be GPS-independant? Should we add some fields to reflet the different other technologies? Will new ones appear in the future? (highly probable?)

Re: [Standards] Issue tracker for XEPs?
Sorry to ask, but has something been done? Is a Jira accessible somewhere yet? Need some more help? 2009/7/7 Jiří Zárevúcky zarevucky.j...@gmail.com: 2009/7/7 Peter Saint-Andre stpe...@stpeter.im: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On 7/7/09 1:06 PM, Kevin Smith wrote: 2009/7/7 Peter Saint-Andre stpe...@stpeter.im: Sure. Indeed I prefer it. I just figured I'd test the issue tracker since that's what the IETF Tools Team has given us. :) Have you thought about setting up an issue tracker for XEPs? I think it would be very nice. Various small problems can get easily forgotten and lost in the amount of emails posted in threads dedicated to bigger ones. We have a license from Atlassian for FishEye, so I'm sure we could use Jira for that. Want to help set it up? :) I've just set Jira up at work, I'm happy to give it a go if you want. Sure, sounds good. Thanks! Peter I'd also be glad to help, in case there is something I can help with. :) But as it seems quite easy for one person and I have no experience with it, I'll probably help more just by filling it. :D -- Nicolas Vérité - ProcessOne http://process-one.net Mobile: +33 6 20 88 63 04

While GSM cells are very inaccurate, WiFis can be more accurate than GPS if you are inside a building. Especially if there is more than one WiFi in the building. -- Jonathan signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Something's been done - Peter's got a license and it's all ready for me to migrate our current Atlassian apps to a new server, and install Jira. I've not done my bit yet, I'll try to get around to it soon. /K

You might be interested in XEP-0255 (Location Query). I think that has what you want.

This probably doesn't require any particular protocol work apart from a namespaced element, and I'll knock up a short spec together with anyone else that's interested. You are one of the authors of XEP-209 which phased metacontacts to private XML. I didn't phase metacontacts to private XML at all - before there was no metacontacts XEP, and afterwards there was. Could you explain what had changed since, that you now favor the roster items eXtensions? My opinion hasn't changed - if the protocol I'm proposing here was available when I wrote the metacontacts XEP, I'd have used that. /K
