Difference between revisions of "Summer of Code 2006 Project Ideas"

This project involves the creation of an interface for kids to Coccinella. You need to create a new roster style, the fishy roster style, with an aquarium containing fishes that represents the contacts (like [http://ralphm.net/ ralphm's Jabber Aquarium]). The fishes need to be be animated with [http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0107.html User Mood]. For example, when a contact is happy, the fish will swim quickly in the aquarium with a smile on his face. The graphics will be done in 2D, but when time allows, they can be made in 3D.

==== JEPs you will/can work on ====

*[http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0060.html Publish-Subscribe]

*[http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0107.html User Mood]

*[http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0071.html XHTML-IM]

*[http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0108.html User Activity]

[http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0174.html Link-local messaging] allows clients to communicate directly, without the use of a server. The libraries used by Psi support the LAN discovery part of this, but not the chat protocol which lies on top. An interested student could implement the chat protocol in the library, and then integrate this in the Psi GUI.

Pick an existing client, and implement a full JEP or improve what's present.(proposed by [[User:Zion]])

==== [http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0045.html Multi-User Chat] ====

==== [http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0004.html Data Forms] ====

==== [http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0163.html Personal Eventing Protocol] ====

==== [http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0116.html Encrypted Sessions] ====

It's experimental too, but implementing experimental JEPs might speed up proceedings of those JEPs to get draft or final state.

* Implement [http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0079.html JEP-0079: Advanced Message Processing] and [http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0133.html JEP-0133: Service Administration]. The server already supports Ad-hoc commands and a few services defined in JEP-133 but there is still a lot of work to do. (proposed by [[User:Gaston]])

* Implement [http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0163.html JEP-0163: Personal Eventing Protocol]. Wildfire supports latest version of Pubsub that is a prerequisite of PEP. Moreover, the original design of Pubsub considered that different pubsub profiles could be created. However, there are  still important changes that need to be done to support PEP. (proposed by [[User:Gaston]])

* It would be great if the [http://ejabberd.jabber.ru/ ejabberd] server (written in Erlang) supported the latest version of [http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0060.html Publish-Subscribe] including the [http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0163.html Personal Eventing] subset. (proposed by [[User:Stpeter]])

* Support for the [http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jeps-0124.html HTTP Binding] would be great but I think the folks at [http://www.mabber.com/ mabber] have written this and just need to contribute their code. (proposed by [[User:Stpeter]])

* File transfer [http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0065.html SOCKS5 proxy] integration. (proposed by [[User:mremond]])

Jabberd14 is a commonly used Jabber server implementation that servers many sites. Thus support of the latest JEPs would be a great feature to it.

* the latest version of Publish-Subscribe (JEP-0060)

* Personal Eventing Protocol (JEP-0163)

For JEP-0060 either a current implementation (e. g. Idavoll2) could be updated or a new implementation be written, depending on what's the best choice. (proposed by [[User:Maxi]])

Write a plugin modul for [http://www.videolan.org VLC Media Player] which simply acts like the HTTP remote control interface. Use [http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0050.html JEP-0050] for providing functions like play, next, previous, etc. so you are able to control VLC Media Player via Jabber.
