Request for a new XMPP classifier in the "chat" namespace #339

Closed ewdurbin closed 8 years ago

ewdurbin commented 9 years ago

Originally reported by: Sam Whited (Bitbucket: SamWhited, GitHub: SamWhited)

I would like to request that the Topic :: Communications :: Chat namespace have a new classifer for XMPP added:

Topic :: Communications :: Chat :: XMPP

This would make the full namespace (at the time of this writing):

Topic :: Communications :: Chat
Topic :: Communications :: Chat :: AOL Instant Messenger
Topic :: Communications :: Chat :: ICQ
Topic :: Communications :: Chat :: Internet Relay Chat
Topic :: Communications :: Chat :: Unix Talk
Topic :: Communications :: Chat :: XMPP

Original comment by Arc Riley (Bitbucket: arc, GitHub: arc):

Sure if you want to be super specific you could also have a trove classifier for every XEP supported by the package, too. Or at least the big ones, such as Adhoc Commands, Data Forms, MUC, and Publish Subscribe.

There are only a dozen or so currently maintained (*) XMPP packages on PyPI, so since the primary purpose of trove classifiers is to aid in search a single global "Topic :: Internet :: XMPP" should be more than enough.

I'd prioritize many low-hanging fruit ahead of an XMPP-IM specific entry, eg:

#!

Environment :: Raspberry Pi
Framework :: AsyncIO
Topic :: Database :: ORM
Topic :: Software Development :: Version Control :: GIT
Topic :: Software Development :: Version Control :: Mercurial
Topic :: Internet :: RTP
Topic :: Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: CSS
Topic :: Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: WebSocket
Topic :: Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: WebRTC

(*: Packages which are not currently maintained are unlikely to utilize new trove classifiers, so this is only relevant to new packages and packages likely to see new releases soon)

That makes good sense; maybe have Topic :: Internet :: XMPP and Topic :: Communications :: Chat :: XMPP-IM to represent the chat spec (RFC 6121) specifically?

Original comment by Arc Riley (Bitbucket: arc, GitHub: arc):

XMPP is a generic distributed XML streaming protocol used for everything from chat to IoT, so putting it in "Chat" would be an overly narrow definition.

A better place would be 

Topic :: Internet :: XMPP

Following up on this (sorry it fell off my radar), I agree with your reasoning there, Topic :: Internet :: XMPP is probably enough for now. What would it take to get this moving forward? Is it agreed that it should be a thing? Would a PR be enough?

Per https://github.com/pypa/pypi-legacy/issues/301#issuecomment-226940147, this needs to be reported to https://github.com/pypa/warehouse now.
