<section2 topic='XEP Maintenance' anchor='maintenance'>
|
||||||
|
<p>At any time (even after a XEP has advanced to Draft or Final), it is appropriate for the XEP Editor to correct small errors in XEPs (typographical errors, XML errors in examples, etc.).</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>However, care must be taken in editing Draft and Final XEPs, because any material changes to such specifications need to be approved by the XMPP Council. See <cite>XEP-0001</cite> for details.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>The XEP Editor can choose to perform more advanced maintenance of XEPs, such as validation of schemas, checking of examples, and copy editing in accordance with the styleguide in <cite>XEP-0143</cite>. Such work is best done while a XEP is still Experimental.</p>

<section2 topic='List Administration' anchor='lists'>

<p>XEPs are discussed on the standards@xmpp.org email list, about which information is available at <<link url='http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards'>http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards</link>>. Traditionally the XEP Editor acts as an administrator for this list. In particular, email from editor@xmpp.org is held for approval on this list to prevent spammers from sending fake emails from the Editor. Before running the "announce.py" script, empty the queue of messages held for moderation; after running the script, approve the message generated by that script so that it is sent to the list.</p>

<p>The XEP Editor maintains a "radar page" at <link url='http://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Radar'>http://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Radar</link>, which provides information about XEPs that are in the following states:</p>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Active, Draft, and Final XEPs that are under revision.</li>
|

<li>Draft XEPs that are undergoing a Call for Experience in preparation for advancement to Final.</li>

<li>Experimental XEPs that are undergoing a Last Call in preparation for advancement to Draft (or Active).</li>

<li>Experimental XEPs that are due to be automatically changed to Deferred because they have not been updated in 12+ months.</li>
|

<p>The radar page is used by the Chair of the XMPP Council in preparing agendas for Council meetings.</p>

<p>Registry files are contained in the 'registry' directory. In general, there are several files that may need to be updated when a XEP advances to Active or Draft. In particular, most XEPs specify one or more protocol namespaces, which need to be added to the namespaces.xml file in the 'registry' directory. Refer to the list of registries at http://www.xmpp.org/registrar/ in order to determine which other registries may need to be updated. The reg.ent file will probably need to be updated as well. Once the Registrar actions have been completed, update the text of the XEP's XMPP Registrar Considerations section accordingly (e.g., to change "shall include" to "includes").</p>

<p>New versions of XEPs might provide modified registry data. The XEP Editor needs to be aware of changes to Draft and Final XEPs in order to make appropriate updates to existing registries. The registry itself shall not be changed until the new XEP version is approved by the XMPP Council.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>The XMPP Registrar also periodically receives requests for additions to existing registrations outside of XEPs, either directly to registrar@xmpp.org or indirectly via standards@xmpp.org list. If the Registrar receives such a request directly, it shall send an email about the proposed registration to the standards@xmpp.org for public comment. If no objections are raised within a reasonable period of time, the Registrar shall update the relevant registry accordingly.</p>
