We are working to migrate from the old file transfer method [http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0096.html XEP-0096] to a more robust method based on [http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0166.html Jingle].

Here are some project ideas for the XSF's involvement in GSoC 2010. Visit our Summer of Code 2010 page for information about applying.

High-Level Priorities

The high-level priorities for the XMPP community include the following (see also the XSF Roadmap)...

Jingle File Transfer

We are working to migrate from the old file transfer method XEP-0096 to a more robust method based on Jingle. The new Jingle-based method has been implemented in Pidgin but not yet in other clients. We'd love to see more implementations and get more deployment experience with this method so that we can correct and advance the relevant specs, which are:

Mobile Optimizations
