   I've reported #Wire's lack of server>server federation as an issue, and explained how it could benefit them as a company. I mentioned that there might be hackers out there willing to help them make it happen. Let's see what they say:

      ... and in #GoodNews, #Wire not only confirms they're working on secure, federated chat, but #federation will be part of the #MLS protocol being standardized at the #IETF :
      "During this interim the proposal was made to include federation more strongly in the design considerations and the proposal was adopted as a future goal for MLS. Wire's goal has always been to achieve federation between different compatible backends and this brings us one step closer to that goal!"

         #Wire also confirmed that while the company is focused on supporting their existing web client and the desktop clients using the #Electron wrapper, they welcome the #SoftwareFreedom community to help develop alternative clients to be used with their service, like #Coax (currently in alpha):

         The #Wire team are open to the idea of using #XMPP for federation between instances of the Wire server:
