[Gaim-devel] GSOC 2007: Improve Chat History Organization

[ZeeGeek <ze...@gm...>]

Hi, I've just submitted my proposal.  Could any of the developers let
me know if it looks like a SOC project or not, or give me some
suggestions after you've taken a look at it?  Thank you.

[Gaim-devel] Gsoc2007: [ video support | video API ]

[Salvatore B. <em...@gm...>]

Hi,

I just signed-up as student to the Gsoc2007, and I see there are not project
ideas for this year on the website.

Before I submit my idea I'd like to discuss it with some of you developers.

Basically I'd like to work on video support, in gaim for MSN and Yahoo.

I've already tried to have a look at the source, both gaim-vv and gaim, to
have an idea on how to start. I also asked in the channel one or two time,
but since I'm student, I never had so much time to spend on the project and
actually start working on it.

Google summer of code though, would be a great opportunity for me to start
working on gaim and therefore on video support. Besides once I start, I
think it would be easier for me to continue working on gaim even after soc
is over.

What do you think?

Is any of you developers interested of being a mentor for such a project?

Salvo

[Gaim-devel] problems with gaim-based application

[Alexey N. <sn...@gm...>]

Hello.
I am currently continuing my development of gaim-based jabber transport (ea=
rly=20
version is published on xmpppy.sf.net) and have come upon a problem.

About my platform first: I use gnt version of beta6 as a base (actually onl=
y=20
gaim_gnt_io_invoke), all UI effects are disabled. Running it on Debian Sarg=
e=20
so use libglib2.0-0 version 2.6.4-1.

I am experiencing lot of crashes, all of them seems to be in MSN code (but=
=20
that may be just because transport is used mostly for msn) and all look lik=
e=20
data somewhere lept out from the control and overwritten gaim's structures.
Sometimes mess starts from gaim_gnt_io_invoke (that I was unable to remove =
or=20
replace with my own one because of lack of GLib knowledge). It got called=20
with very weird 'condition' argument that is, believing to post-mortem core=
=20
dump analysis, takes completely random values while it should persist in th=
e=20
range 0-63.
Sometimes condition takes sane value but later in stack things looks=20
overwritten nevertheless. (like account: 0xa which is obviously corrupt).

I am asking for a little help with it - can anyone suggest how it may happe=
n?=20
Can it be my bug? msn plugin bug? glib bug? where to start hunting from?

Oh and there was another thing that I suppressed. When trying such setup I=
=20
discovered a lot of HUP signals coming up to my python wrapper when I tryin=
g=20
to execute g_main_context_iteration. So I put "try: except:" block around i=
t=20
to just ignore them. May be it may have something to do with my problems to=
o?

Thanks in advance.

Here is example of such crash:

"Gnt" refers to libgnt, which is the library used to create gaim-text's
interface.  When used as "gnt ui," it refers to gaim-text.  GNT stands for
either Gaim Ncurses Toolkit or Glib Ncurses Toolkit, as I recall from
discussions with Sadrul, and provides an interface to ncurses that is intended
to be similar to the GTK+ API.

In theory, using libgnt you could have numerous console applications in a single
windowed environment, similar to how you can have multiple graphical
applications in a windowed environment using X-Windows.  This is perhaps one of
the most attractive aspects to using libgnt as opposed to a more traditional
ncurses-based approach, but I believe currently gaim-text is the only
application making use of libgnt.

Re: [Gaim-devel] Student Developer

[Eric P. <al...@gm...>]

you make reference to gnt a lot.  i'm not familiar with this.  what is it?

the whole plugin-pref-ui using the request-ui, this i'm also not sure
what you're talking about. i've never worked with plugins, so that
might account for the lack of knowledge there.

i'm glad you've contacted me.  i've been talking to the gtk-gaim
fellows about working on the privacy stuff.  but if we can get a good
set of projects for gaim-text, i'd much rather do that for an SOC
application.  i'll keep doing some research on both of them and see
where they go.

Hi. There are a few things that I think would be good additions to
gaim-text (and libgnt: the widget toolkit used):

* A new window manager (or improvements to the existing ones). For
example, a tiling window manager would be super awesome.

* Improve the widget-packing in a container (GntBox), may be even have a
grid like container.

* Implement plugin-pref-ui using the request-api.

* Have python (or some other) bindings for libgnt. This would allow
creating functional/useful dbus clients with gnt ui.

* Add some more items in the buddy-list menu. Copy the gstreamer,
auto-reconnection etc. code from gtk-gaim into gaim-text.

* Have a spell checker, which would add some way of indicating spelling
errors, suggesting possible corrections etc.

There could be some other more interesting features you could think of.
These are a few that comes to my mind. It excites me that you are willing
to contribute to gaim-text. An SOC project would be a very good way of
getting started.

Note: Some of the ideas I mentioned are semi-trivial. So you may want to
bundle a number of them for an SOC application. :)

[Gaim-devel] Mail.ru Agent protocol

[Atamurad H. <ata...@gm...>]

Hi,

Recently I switched to Ubuntu and lack of mail.ru agent client in GNU/Linux
systems was only the reason which kept me from completely avoiding Windows.
I came across with above feature requests when I was looking for one.

So I decided to write one myself. Finally I have working code now.
My current Gaim protocol plugin can login to server, retrieve contact
list and send/receive messages which meets my basic IM-ing
requirements but it is far from public release,
there are memory leaks, tons of bugs and unimplemented features etc.

I'd like to implement in near future.
 - Offline messages
 - Add/remove/edit buddies and groups
 - Search white pages
 - File transfer
 - Buddy pictures
 - Rich text formatting

And now my question is
 - Will you guys accept it to main libgaim tree if I complete it?
Or will it be distributed as third-party plugin?
 - I'm student and can I do it as part of the Google Summer of Code program?

Regards,
Atamyrat

p.s. Mail.ru is also widely used in ex-soviet Russian-speaking countries.

[Gaim-devel] turtle p2p f2f protocol integrated in gaim, jabber, kopete

[Gaim-devel] Privacy Improvements

[Eric P. <al...@gm...>]

Following is a list of protocols supported by Gaim and the privacy
features I was able to gather from their native clients.  It also
speaks a little of how Gaim is missing certain features and supports
other already.

AIM (http://www.aluink.net:96/gaim/#AIM)

Gaim, as would the name suggest, seems to have modeled it's privacy
options from the options available in AIM.  Though there are a few
missing.  AIM supports allowing others to see if a user is: idle,
typing, using mobile, and updates to blogs and profiles.  Not being an
AIM user, I'm not sure if Gaim supports mobile device and blogs, but I
know that it can support the idle and typing feature.  These two and
maybe the others can be added to Gaims privacy options.

Gadu-Gadu

Being in Polish, I have yet to find a client which I can understand.
Unless I either learn Polish, unlikely or someone is able to amend
this document, I am unable to report on the privacy features of Gadu
Gadu.

Groupwise

Not having access to a Groupwise network, I am unable to research this
protocol.  If someone uses this protocol and knows what we could do,
it'd be nice to know.

IRC

Other than /ignore, I believe the only thing we could do here is maybe
ignore people's voices.  Then again, I'm not a huge IRC user, so there
might be other things we could do here.

Jabber

Being an open source protocol, privacy settings are often client
based.  So we can maybe come up with our own options for privacy here
that would accommodate most systems.

MSN (http://www.aluink.net:96/gaim/#MSN)

The privacy setting here seems to be rather simple.  Users can either
only share their status and receive messages from an "Allow List" or
deny access to specific users in a "Block list".  It also supports
setting whether a user is notified of others adding them to their
contact list.  Though Gaim supports notification of being added by
another user, we could add the enabling/disabling of these
notifications.

Simple

  None available

Sametime

Wasn't able to find information on this protocol.


Yahoo (http://www.aluink.net:96/gaim/#Yahoo)

This protocol seems to be the one that Gaim is the most lacking in.
It supports an array of options.  They are:

-Always sign in invisibly
-Allow Yahoo! websites to show when a user is online
-Idle timeout
-Showing to other users how long a user has been idle

Based on how much of these features Gaim supports we can also add the following:

-Changing status based on
    --listening to LAUCHcast Radio
    --playing games in Yahoo Games
    --Showing webcame and displaying a message
-Playing Yahoo Games in messenger
-Allowing plugins to set clickable status messages

A lot of this is based on what Gaim supports and then dealing with the
privacy of those features.  Nonetheless, I feel there are enough
options missing across these few protocols and potentially more if
research can be done in the few I was unable to do them for.

I would like to propose working on improving Gaim's privacy support
and documenting those improvements.

Re: [Gaim-devel] Away message request

[Tim H. <Tim...@fu...>]

Hey,

yeah, the ICQ Lite client requests the away message at the beginning of
each conversation and shows it inside the chat window. This was just an
example. I wont implement this "feature" in gaim. I just search for the
source file which sends the status message to a client (there must be
such a function, or am I wrong?) to figure our who read my away message.
Do you understand? Just a little extension for the "statusnotifiy"
plugin. Just a little extension for myself (like the miranda plugin
whoreadmystatusmessage) and maybe the public (if anybody is interested in).

Regards,
Tim

[Gaim-devel] Away message request

[Tim H. <Tim...@fu...>]

Hey guys,

I have a really stupid question: I want to extend a gaim plugin with
some features (just for myself [and if its good enough also for the
public]). I'm searching for some days for the part in the source code of
the oscar protocol which handles a away message request. I mean, if
another ICQ user opens a new conversation the default ICQ client will
request the away message of the user. Now, my question is where gaim
handles this request. In which source file / function I have to search.
It would be really great, if you can answer me this question. Thanks a lot.

Best regards,
Tim

[Gaim-devel] Student Developer

[Eric P. <al...@gm...>]

Greetings to all,

My name is Eric Polino and I'm a Computer Science/Math student who is
planning on participating in Google's Summer of Code.  I have been
using Gaim for years and really like what it has to offer.  I have
recently started using Gaim-text and saw that it has come a long way
and has a lot of features implemented, but is still a long way from
completion...whatever "completion" means.  I was wondering if we could
work together a list of projects I could work on over the summer.  I
have some experience with curses and some experience with chatting
applications.  None of which are on the scale of Gaim-text, but still,
they aren't completely foreign ideas to me.

So anyways, if someone could let me know what's up that'd be great, or
where I could go for more direction.  Google's SOC applications are
due in 11days.

Thanks,

[Gaim-devel] Plugin question

[Luca S. <ma...@sp...>]

Hi, i'm trying to write a perl plugin that write in a text file the 
status of my contacts (i.e. i'd like to notify another app the online status
of some of my friends). I wrote almost everything but i cannot find in 
gaim's api the function to retrieve the status of my contacts...

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance

[Gaim-devel] troubles with invisible/ghost mode vs. gaim

[Michael R. H. <bu...@su...>]

My friend likes to use invisible/host mode in AIM (he's using the
official AOL client), but when he does this, I can see his messages, but
I can't respond to his messages or see that he's online.=20

When I go invisible in gaim, and I initiate a conversation with him, he
is able to respond and doesn't see me as offline.

Is this expected behavior? I'm using 2.0.0beta6 as packaged in Ubuntu
feisty.

thanks,
mike

Perhaps we need some way to remind people about such features. I'm not sure
when we'd do it, maybe on upgrade. Or maybe have a menu item that pops up a
dialog reminding you of the stupid things you did, and have clicking on said
menu item in the bug reporting guide lines.

That may just cause people to complain about the reminders, and the same
people who don't remember they turned on the Iconfy on Away plugin may also
not read or follow bug submission guide lines.

extprefs is a GTK+-plugin. So you should put it in gtk/plugins/ directory
when compiling. That should fix the problem.

Because the protocol is ridiculously heavily encrypted and obfuscated
(self-modifying code is used heavily) beyond the point of reason.
Reverse engineering would not be easy.

I'd like to have this, too, I only use Skype for chatting, if I'd like to phone (rarely), I start the official client, but I hate running it all the time, for the very same reasons.

It does, however, shift the burden of support from Gaim to the Guifications
team.  At least for now, the plugin pack has relatively low visibility, and most
of the plugin pack users have been better than the general Gaim user population
in #gaim is and will actually read our documentation.  I suspect this is in part
due to us not advertising our IRC channel.  Since many of the plugins in the
plugin pack are stupid or pointless (by our own admission), and it sounds like a
number of people think Iconify on Away fits into one or both of those
categories, it sounds like a good fit to me.

Although it sounds like a good idea, this does not prevent people from
installing the pack and enabling all of them just like they do now
with the default gaim build.

When people don't know and use, it actually becomes critical enough
and relevant to keep them from using those -- risky -- tools by moving
them into the plugin-pack.
