Process
Members of the XSF vote on acceptance of new members, a technical Council. and a Board of Directors. However, membership is not required to publish, view, or comment on the standards that it promulgates. The unit of work at the XSF is the XMPP Extension Proposal (XEP); XEP-001[1] specifies the process for XEPs to be accepted by the community. Most of the work of the XSF takes place on the XMPP Extension Discussion List [2] and the jdev Chat Room (xmpp:jdev@conference.jabber.org?join).

XEPs
One of the most important outputs of the XSF is a series[4] of XEPs. Some have chosen to pronounce "XEP" as if it was spelled "JEP", rather than "ZEP", in order to keep with a sense of tradition. Some XEPs of note include:
- Data Forms[5]
- Service Discovery[6]
- Multi-User Chat[7]
- Publish-Subscribe[8]
- XHTML-IM[9]
- Entity Capabilities[10]
- Bidirectional-streams Over Synchronous HTTP (BOSH)[11]
