* '''Brief explanation:''' Swiften, the XMPP library driving Swift, supports pubsub (http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0060.html) and PEP (http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0163.html), but nothing in Swift itself uses these yet. In this project a user would implement User Location (http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0080.html) in Swiften, and use this in Swift to expose the user's location to their contacts, allow them to see the location of their contacts, and to somehow monitor which contacts are near to the user. | * '''Brief explanation:''' Swiften, the XMPP library driving Swift, supports pubsub (http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0060.html) and PEP (http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0163.html), which are mechanisms whereby people can publish data and other people can subscribe to receive notifications about changes in these data, but nothing in Swift itself uses these yet. In this project a user would implement User Location (http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0080.html) on top of these in Swiften, and use this in Swift to expose the user's location to their contacts, allow them to see the location of their contacts, and to somehow monitor which contacts are near to the user. If the student has other ideas of interesting ways in which location data can be useful to Swift's users, they can accordingly enhance this project. | ||

* '''Brief explanation:''' Server-side message archiving allows a user's client to query the server for their previous messages. Openfire has supported the older, and more complex, XEP-0136 Archiving for many years, but more modern clients have tended to use XEP-0313, also known as MAM. MAM is a small subset of functionality from XEP-0136, and as such the storage etc should be largely handled already. | * '''Brief explanation:''' Server-side message archiving allows a user's client to query the server for their previous messages.

* '''Brief explanation:''' The goal of this project is to add the possibility to interact with all of freenode's channels using the XMPP Multi-User Chat protocol as described in XEP-0045. This should be done as a service gateway that's an extension into the particular ircd implementation used by the freenode network: ircd-seven. It would accept XMPP server-to-server connections and present each channel as a MUC room transparently and bidirectional. | * '''Brief explanation:''' The goal of this project is to add the possibility to interact with all of freenode's channels using the XMPP Multi-User Chat protocol as described in XEP-0045.
