Projects and Ideas

Here are some Pidgin-related projects/ideas I have.

• Emoticon support
  • Add support for using "custom smileys" on XMPP using XEP-0231 (bits of binary)
  • A persistent emoticon cache would be nice
  • Add support for protocol-specific emoticon constraints (dimensions, file size, mime types...)
• Voice and Video
  • ...
• Multi-user Chats
  • Support unnamed chats
    • Ability to add contacts to an existing two-person conversation to turn it into a chat
    • Support "temporary MUC" for XMPP, generating a room name and use it as an "unnamed chat"
• XMPP
  • In-band bytestream support for file transfers
  • Attentions (similar to MSN nudge/Yahoo buzz)
  • Jingle file transfers
  • Support idle times in presence
  • Support external service discovery (extdisco, XEP-0215) to autoconfigure TURN relays (for voice and video) and Socks5 bytestream proxies (for file transfers).
  • ...
• Pidgin
  • Attention UI
  • Smiley themes based on JISP-like (XEP-0038) format
