Hello, I've been discussing on #kde-telepathy with grundleborg and drf__ about a GSoC project that will take telepathy tubes to kde.
Telepathy Tubes are a user-to-user or user-to-group networking layer which applications can use to perform contact-to-contact data transfer. There are currently two data formats for Tubes: - StreamTubes that allow clients to share a regular socket - DBusTubes that allow client to share a D-Bus bus The first part of my project will be a "bridge" to easily offer and accept a tube in kde and return a KJob associated to that tube. Then the project will include 2 applications for Tubes: The first will use DBusTubes to add collaborative editing of worksheet in Cantor. The reason why I'm writing here to discuss about the second application that should use StreamTubes :D Plasma already allows to share widgets on the local network using avahi/zeroconf. I think that a cool feature could be to use StreamTubes to allow the widget to be shared with your contacts using your favourite im protocol. That should not be hard, because StreamTubes allow to reuse the existing protocol using telepathy to transport it. What do you think about it?
