There are currently no items in the inbox.
Other Items
- XEP-0193 / multiple resources per stream: several people have expressed an interest in bring back this feature (which was removed from rfc3920bis). Is the Council receptive to taking this on?
- XEP-0232 / software information: this was recently deferred for inactivity but there is still interest in moving this forward. Can the Council review it again and more clearly specify its objections?
- Consistency of review periods -- see http://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/council/2010-March/002783.html
- Roundups: an overview of the XEPs activity needs to be (ir)regularly published on blog.xmpp.org.
