The Configuration node holds the configuration of the channel as a single item, named by the date-time of the last update to the configuration. A single item is stored in the node at a time, with previous configuration history accessed by MAM. Users subscribed to the configuration node will enable notification of configuration change. The configuration node is optional for a MIX channel. For example, configuration choices could be fixed and not exposed. A subset of the defined configuration options may be used and additional non-standard configuration options may be added. If configuration options to control functionality of the nature described here are provided, the options defined in this standard MUST be used. The following configuration options are provided:

The Information node holds information about the channel. The information node is named by the name of the node, which must be present. Other elements of the information node are optional. Information history is stored in MAM. The name and description values MUST contain a "text" element and MAY contain additional text elements. Where multiple text elements are provided, each MUST posses an xml:lang attribute that describes the natural language of the subject. Users MAY subscribe to this node to receive information updates. The Information node has the following attributes: +

    -
  • 'Date of Configuration Change'. Encoded as the item ID.

  • 'Last Change Made By'. Bare JID of the user making the last change.
    • -
  • 'Name'. The name of the channel
    • -
  • 'Members'. List of JIDs with member rights. The rights of members are configured in the ACL node.

The format of the Configuration node follows &xep0004;. This allows configuration to be updated by MIX defined commands and that the results of update commands can be directly written to the PubSub node. Updates to the Configuration may use these commands or direct writing to the PubSub node.

The ACL node is closely related to the configuration node, and contains more information that will generally be more restricted as to who can access and modify. An anticipated configuration reflected in the defaults has ACL node configured so that it can be modified by channel owners and read only by channel owners and administrators. The default for the configuration node is update by owners or administrators and visibility to list members. Split of functionality has been made on the basis of this model.

TEMPORARY NOTE AND QUESTION: The split of configuration/acl is arbitrary. It would be possible to merge them, or to split into more nodes, giving finer control granularity. Input is solicited on the split an detailed assignment of items to nodes.

The ACL node holds access control related configuration of the channel as a single item, named by the date-time of the last update to the ACL. History MUST be set to 1. Previous ACL history is accessed by MAM. Users may subscribe to the ACL node if allowed using bare JID. The ACL node is optional for a MIX channel. For example, ACL choices could be fixed and not exposed. A subset of the defined ACL options may be used and additional non-standard ACL options may be added.
