As last year, I believe within the XMPP community a lot of good work is being done by our brilliant people. They deserve good organization, a prospering community. Building good infrastructure, also means to me building a great community around it. This is also the responsibility of the XMPP Standards Foundation in my opinion. | As last year, I believe within the XMPP community a lot of good work is being done by our brilliant people.

However, I think the XMPP Standards Foundation could require some improvements in terms of organization, communication and structural setup to exactly serve everyone and last but not least the development of the protocol and standard. In the current situation is in a very dysfunctional state (without blaming anyone) and not serving the purpose as its best. Indicators are currently mainly the situation around the XEP Editor and development which last for more than one year without big progress. To be open, I was fighting within my limited capabilities around this topic but without big success. Furthermore, few resources, few activity by work-groups and even more people resigned frustrated. So, we should take actions on potential improvement to not stop their work. In general, I think we have an alarming situation within this organization and it should be taken very serious. | However, I think the XMPP Standards Foundation could require some improvements in terms of organization, communication and structural setup to exactly serve everyone and last but not least the development of the protocol and standard.
