XMPP got its RFC numbers yesterday. The numbers are 3920 on through 3923. Slashdot is carring the story along with a bunch of comments, some bad, some good. I've done relayed the bad to stpeter, and we'll see how they're responded to.
In other news, someone was kind enough to give me permanent moderation rights to jdev@conference.jabber.org. Whoever that was, thanks. Unfortunately JDev was practicially dead tonight, and I didn't have to moderate an unrulely bunch of people celebrating XMPP's progress. I'm gonna be waiting to give someone the boot.
Since I didn't have much of chance to exercise my new privileges, I managed to get the moderation bot put together that I'll be using for David Sander's web chat. It basically ensures that only one person can speak at a time, and queues up requests from anyone else. It looked like it work while I was testing it. I'm not sure if I hit all the code paths which is rather important in Python. Otherwise Python will just crash if it hits an block of code that has an error in it as it executes it. That's good and bad, but it re-enforces the need to test the code completely. All the work for the webchat is supposed to tie up by the end of this week, and it looks like I'll make it. Then I can sign off on this once everything goes according to plan.
