Since I'm not a great coder, my original contributions to the Jabber community were HOWTOs for software like jabberd 1.4 and Winjab back in 2000 and 2001. Since 2001 I've mostly focused on documenting existing protocols and writing new protocol specs. As a result I edited the XMPP RFCs and have also written dozens of XMPP Extension Protocols (XEPs). | Since I'm not a great coder, my original contributions to the Jabber community were HOWTOs for software like jabberd 1.4 and Winjab back in 2000 and 2001.

== Sixth Council Achievements == | |||
In last year's Council elections, I claimed that during the Sixth Council we could stabilize [http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0060.html pubsub] and [http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0163.html PEP], make good progress on [http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0116.html end-to-end encryption] ("e2e"), complete revisions to the XMPP RFCs at the IETF, advance more XEPs from Draft to Final (e.g., [http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0060.html XEP-0045] and [http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0060.html XEP-0060]), and deprecate XEPs that people are not using (e.g., [http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0013.html XEP-0013]). | |||
Unfortunately, it didn't quite [http://www.xmpp.org/council/tallies_06.shtml work out that way]. We made some good progress on e2e but have spent more time than we really wanted to cleaning up [http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0060.html pubsub] and [http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0115.html entity capabilities], as well as proposed modifications to the XMPP RFCs. Work on these core protocols has kept us from making more progress on more advanced features. However, work on entity capabilities is finished, work on pubsub should be finished before the end of the 6th Council term, and work on rfc3920bis and rfc3921bis is nearly complete. | |||

Here is what I think we need to accomplish during the next Council term: | |||
* We simply must complete work on Jingle. I think we're close, but we need to push for completion in the next month or two. | |||
