Mediated Information eXchange (MIX) - This document defines Mediated Information eXchange (MIX), an XMPP protocol extension for the exchange of information among multiple users through a mediating service. The protocol can be used to model group communication applications such as chatrooms, although with greater flexibility and extensibility than existing groupchat technologies such as Multi-User Chat (MUC). MIX supports standard groupchat features such as discussion topics and invitations, and defines a strong access control model similar to that of MUC. MIX also enables users to participate without sharing presence, allows communication of any structured data (not only textual messages). MIX uses Publish-Subscribe to provide flexible access and publication, and uses Message Archive Management (MAM) to provide storage and archiving. + This document defines Mediated Information eXchange (MIX), an XMPP protocol extension for the exchange of information among multiple users through a mediating service.
