Got three(!) PRs merged today! 🥳
Next version of ejabberd will feature:
* new command `generate_reset_token` in case someone forgot their password
* web-admin interface for invite tokens, lists all existing invites, lets them browse, sort and filter, execute commands
* if landing page configured there’s now a start page that lets any user create invites using their account name and password (if allowed)
New command to generate a password reset token for folks who have lost theirs. So far this is a rather ugly process where you’d have to set a temporary password. But can’t really enforce the temporary nature of it.
And another one waiting to be merged: adds a web-admin panel for mod_invites (Great Invitations) that lets you manage all issued invites, hopefully in an elegant and effective way.
Adding a start page to mod_invites where you can generate „Account Creation“ invites in case your client doesn’t support that: https://github.com/processone/ejabberd/pull/4567
Uh, uh, uwu!
The guide I’ve been working on all week just went online!
It’s meant to help folks using the new invite feature.

You’re admin of an XMPP server and you (just) enabled mod_invites? Then this is for you! Share that link with your users so they can spread the fun!
Rounding off by circling back to #XMPP, where @zeank is working to bring invite support (#GreatInvitations) to #ejabberd 📮

Practically, this means another of the major XMPP servers will support a mechanism for people to create accounts more easily and without too many hurdles, while letting server operators keep signups invite-only or moderated in some way to avoid spam 🤖
