Real-time text is text transmitted instantly while it is being typed or created. The recipient can immediately read the sender's text as it is written, without waiting. It allows text to be used as conversationally as a telephone conversation, including in situations where speech is not practical (e.g., environments that must be quiet, environments too noisy to hear, restrictions on phone use, situations where speaking is a privacy or security concern, and/or when participant(s) are deaf or hard of hearing). | Real-time text is text transmitted instantly while it is being typed or created.

== Prosody IM == | |||
''Website:'' https://prosody.im/<br/> | |||
''Source Code:'' https://hg.prosody.im/<br/> | |||
''Description:'': Prosody is a lightweight XMPP server that aims to be easy to set up and configure, and efficient with system resources.<br/> | |||

=== Standalone mod_firewall === | |||
''Brief explanation:'' This project would produce a version of mod_firewall that runs standalone and can be connected | |||
with any XEP-0114 compliant server.<br/> | |||
''Involved Technologies:'' Lua, XMPP<br/> | |||
''Mentor(s):'' Matthew Wild (MattJ) [mailto:mwild1@gmail.com <mwild1@gmail.com>], Kim Alvefur (Zash)<br/> | |||
''Deliverables / Expected Results:''<br/> | |||
* Standalone server-independent mod_firewall | |||
* Server-side implementation that uses external mod_firewall for determining whether/how to to route a stanza. | |||
''Milestones:''<br/> | |||
# Design and document server-independent protocol for communicating with external mod_firewall. | |||
# Develop standalone mod_firewall process that connects to a XEP-0114 compliant server and implements above protocol. | |||
# Develop server-side code to communicate with external mod_firewall and allow it to filter stanzas. | |||
Prosody's mod_firewall is a rule-based XMPP-layer firewall that is useful for security and | |||
anti-spam purposes. However it currently only works with Prosody, and needs to be loaded | |||
into the main process. | |||
This project would produce a version of mod_firewall that runs standalone and can be connected | |||
with any XEP-0114 compliant server. | |||
The project would include: | |||
* Protocol design: develop and document (in XEP form) a protocol whereby a server may submit a stanza to the standalone mod_firewall and receive a decision. | |||
* Coding (Lua): adapt mod_firewall's core code to run standalone, and connect to servers as a component implementing this protocol. | |||
* Coding: Additionally add support for the new protocol to an XMPP server of your choice. | |||
=== Implement MIX === | |||
''Brief explanation:'' This project would add support for the MIX suite of XEPs to Prosody<br/> | |||
''Involved Technologies:'' Lua, XMPP<br/> | |||
''Mentor(s):'' Matthew Wild (MattJ) [mailto:mwild1@gmail.com <mwild1@gmail.com>], Kim Alvefur (Zash)<br/> | |||
''Deliverables / Expected Results:''<br/> | |||
* A server with support for creating and joining MIX channels. | |||
* A suite of [https://matthewwild.co.uk/projects/scansion Scansion] tests for testing correct MIX behaviour | |||
''Milestones:''<br/> | |||
# Implement support for creating, joining and exchanging messages with MIX rooms. | |||
# Implement channel administration (XEP-406) | |||
MIX is a new protocol for group chats in XMPP that provides a modern alternative to the existing MUC protocol. It is not currently | |||
widely implemented, but this project would provide a server-side implementation against which clients can be built and tested. | |||
Basic support may be found in experimental branches of Conversations, but it is expected that this implementation may be tested through | |||
use of Scansion and/or other client-side testing tools and libraries. | |||
