Indeed. This is a major annoyance when joining a session late or
catching only
the second session of a 2-session WG. Also it is very annoying when
one gets dropped
from a jabber session and has to rejoin.
Indeed, I've run foul of this on a few occasions.
I think all the rooms at jabber.ietf.org should have history
enabled, but cleared
out just prior to each meeting.
Well, history clearing is not a standard feature (it's in our
implementation but I think we may be unique there).
On the other hand, there are standard ways [XEP-0045 §7.1.16] for
clients to request that they only get relatively recent history, such
as the previous week at maximum - or the last time they were in the
room, indeed - which makes the "three month old history" problem
entirely soluble with a decent client.
