One of the biggest hurdles for XMPP in terms of widespread adoption compared to single vendor solutions is a somewhat more complicated onboarding process. To not open their service to unsolicited messages and abuse administrators often opt to not allow open registration, which complicates things even more. To counter these obstacles, recently the concept of „Great Invitations“ was introduced by one of the XMPP servers, aiming to make the onboarding process as seamless as possible – a single link is enough to guide a potential future participant. The goal of this project is to follow this pleasant way of onboarding, and implement it for ejabberd.
