XMPP Roundup 13: Specifications
Welcome to the Specification part of the XMPP Roundup #13, your irregular news from the XMPP community.

Linked Process

Linked Process, mentionned in the last XMPP Roundup, has got a new protoXEP.

All the XEP in PDF

Tobias Markmann has written a XEP publishing mechanism that generates the XEP in PDF format, with syntax highlighting for example stanzas. You can now download each one of them, read them while offline, and distribute them to you customers, partners, and best friends. You can also get the full pack as a tarball: xepbundle.tar.bz2.

Tobias has also added checkboxes that enable the filtering based on the XEP status.

Thank you very much Tobias!
