whiteboard standardization
by Michael Jurke 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

Hi everyone, I read that Gajim offers or may offer a whiteboard that originally was based on a standard proposal for whiteboarding (http://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/sxe.html). I want to ask how close it is still to this protoXEP. Can I find a specification? As part of my thesis I implement a simple whiteboard and I would like to make it compatible with psi or gajim if there is some prototype for standardization. Thanks a lot! Michael Jurke

gsoc: file transfer over jinge
by Zhenchao Li 13 Mar '10

13 Mar '10

Hello everyone! I am a graduate student in China and I am very interested in implementing file transfer over jingle for gajim. For the last month I've been exploring gajim's source code, reading documentations about gajim's architecture, reading xmpp's specifications on jingle and file transfer(XEP-0096, XEP-0234, XEP-0166) and getting some hands-on experience by trying to write a patch for a bug(#5614<http://trac.gajim.org/ticket/5614>). So I want to share with you my thoughts here. Gajim already has the ability to handle jingle singaling thanks to gsoc 2007 student Tomasz Melcer. But over the last 2 years jingle itself has also evolved. I will first check to see if our implementation of jingle has any major incompatibility with the current jingle protocol.(I don't foresee a lot of it because according to jingle's revision history many of them were just clarifications). This shoudl take about 1 week. Next I will implement the actual file transfer feature using the jingle infrastructure. The actual transfer will consist of several methods: socks5 bytestream, in-band bytestream and possibly ICE-TCP if time allows). I don't think these are extremely difficult to implement once one of those transfer methods is implemented. However I do foresee some issues concerning pausing, canceling file transfer etc. But the basic functionality should be completed in reasonable amount of time.(1 week for reading and understanding what I must know, 2 - 3 weeks for coding) Once they are completed, through tests should be conducted. I also want to add some additional features that might help to enhance user experience: First: file transfer status in chat window. This has already been discussed in #1205 <http://trac.gajim.org/ticket/1205>. Some for it some against it. I think it's good to give users an option anyway, and it's really a simple and useful way to track which file comes from which guy, when you are receiving files from several friends. I do not intend to implement a progress bar in chat window. A notice about the start, end of the file transfer should be enough. Also the end of FT notice should contain a link to the file. This feature will be optional, users against this will be able to disable it. FT from users you are not chatting with does not open a chat window. What about the current pop-up notice? Well, I think it just feels better when you can focus your eyes around the chat window and know everything that's happening between you and the guy you're talking to. Suggestions welcomed about this! Second: drag and drop currently works perfectly, but sending of multiple files are not supported. Users would typically archive the files or manually send them one by one. This is not quite user friendly. I want to support dragging a directory into gajim and letting gajim do the archiving stuff. Also the description field will be populated with a list of files(possibly incomplete due to the length of it). This idea is due to #4287<http://trac.gajim.org/ticket/4287>. I want to clarify that this is a user experience enhancement, so the user should be noted that what the receiver gets is an archive of the directory that he/she sends. If time allows I also want to add file encryption feature, which might be as simple as key exchange and encryption using DES or AES. But I don't know how to standardize this feature so it understood by all xmpp clients. I appreciate any advice on this. A bit more about myself: I'm pursuing a master of science degree in Fudan University, Shanghai. I'm comfortable with C, C++, perl. And I love Python and lisp! I have some basic experience with the linux kernel, netsurf(a small web browser, I once implemented "read page" feature for fun). I am a heavy user of all kinds of open source softwares, I used to write webapps using django and wrote some fun stuff in it, like sending SMS via my homepage(click and send sms to me) etc. I primarily use python to solve all problems that I meet. It's my language of choice. My name is Li Zhenchao .My jabber account is fantasticsid(a)jabber.com. I have a blog: www.fantasticsid.com/blog (it's in Chinese but I will write in English if I'm lucky enough to write reports on this year's gsoc project later). You can contact me at cockneykevin(a)gmail.com or fantasticsid(a)fantasticsid.com. Any advices, thoughts, suggestions, questions are welcomed! PS: After discussing my idea here, should I also present it to the XSF mailing list? -- Homepage: www.fantasticsid.com EMAIL: fantasticsid(a)fantasticsid.com IRC: fantasticsid

Indeed it works, it's just that gajim.pot was not rebuilt. Removing it and it's ok. Now someone knows a better solution without or sed or anything? I just would like to list all .ui files, and add a sting at the begining of the line. -- Yann

I saw that [type: gettext/glade] is needed in POTFILE.in, so I added this line in autogen.sh after POTFILE.in is created perl -i -pe 's/(.*)\.ui/\[type: gettext\/glade\]$1.ui/' po/POTFILES.in But that doesn't help. Even intltool-extract --type=gettext/glade roster_window.ui Doesn't extract anything. I don't know where is the problem. -- Yann

Hello Yann Thanks, got it, sorry not used to the interface, should have looked harder...the message goes to my bot on the other end, that (on espere) will manage to decrypt it... Thanks again Hugh -- http://www.hughbarnard.org http://www.big-wave-heuristics.com/ http://www.hackney-environment-network.org.uk/

OpenGPG sessions with a Jabber bot
by Hugh Barnard 09 Mar '10

09 Mar '10

Hi/Salut Gajim folks First of all, thank you for Gajim, it's great I'm a newcomer to IM and Gajim and this question is half developer/half user. So please bear with me... I have a Perl process that I use to decrypt/encrypt Open GPG email and I want to use the same code to process GPG chats. I have my GPG key (or a key) in the Gajim configuration + passhprase and usegpg (but not use gpgagent) in the Advanced Preferences configuration. The Perl process is currently processing unencrypted chat bodies...so the connectivity works... So how do I 'start' encrypting messages from the Gajim end? Or do I do it from the 'other' (bot) end (with a presence stanza according to the spec?) Best regards Hugh -- http://www.hughbarnard.org http://www.big-wave-heuristics.com/ http://www.hackney-environment-network.org.uk/
