== Future Plans == | |||
For the Copyleft Games Group (which PySoy is part of), I'm working on a spec for out-of-band gaming via XMPP/Jingle. I want to leverage compatibility and open, patent-clear standards against the proprietary, closed gaming networks run by Microsoft, Sony, and TeamSpeak. XMPP can already provide a shared "friends list" between games and desktop IM and, with Jingle's ICE negotiation, allowing players to host game servers behind a NAT firewall (a rare feature even with modern games). | |||
For the above mentioned projects and various other groups I'm involved with including GNHLUG, new england's layer 2 network cooperative, and the Apogean Church, I plan to finish upgrading my Freeform CMS to bridge the gap between XMPP and the web. Part of this will include a Firefox extension for Atom feeds via XMPP pubsub, polishing Jack Moffit's strophejs, and adding XEP-0050 support to Gajim. | |||
