Hi, With all the telepathy-based ideas for gsoc in live.gnome.org/SummerOfCode2010/Ideas I was hoping that we could create a roadmap for making telepathy-gtk a reality. I would much rather point a potential student to telepathy-gtk and ask them to implement a needed feature or binding there instead of creating project and language specific contact selectors like last year.
You devs probably know best what should go into telepathy-gtk and how best to do it. What I was hoping to have was something like: - Implement a drop down widget with contacts. You probably want to do this using api x/y/z - Presence indication. You probably want to do this using api x/y/z - Only show contacts with needed contact capabilities. Use api x/y/z, look at example foo - Add contact avatars - Filter contacts on supported CM's etc etc A students proposal for telepathy integration i gnome-games could then be split into two parts. Improve tp-gtk with features 1, 2, and x from the roadmap + add multiplay support for game foo using widgets from tp-gtk. I think that it would both make it a easier for students to collaborate on common functionality and also send a clear message that we want the relevant parts to created in a way that can be accepted upstream. Is there an official repo for the work that has already been done on tp-gtk? If there are any easy bugs to fix in the existing code it might be nice to point students to that for the obligatory patch required from students in GNOME part of gsoc. - Thomas Andersen _______________________________________________ telepathy mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/telepathy
