This is a two part job, first Telepathy needs a generic interface for securing end-to-end communications of various types and some times multiple types. The current work I have done is spec work to implement a generic end-to-end encryption and authentication interface that the more specific implementations can use to communicate with telepathy via D-bus. That is why I need my current work to be reviewed under this bug (29904). Once the generic interface is accepted then we can build the OTR specific implementation for each Connection Manager under bug 16891. I would really appreciate your help. I choose to program the implementation first for Butterfly because it is written in Python which I am more familiar with. I was then planning to port the code to a C/C++ implementation for the other connection managers. My major push for this project will start in mid May and I will be able to commit a lot of time to it through out the following 6 months. In the mean time I have been communicating on and off and building a list of resources. I have also been working on the spec work for the generic e2e spec. I will give your GSoC page a read now. Let me know what you need from me and how I can help you? I look forward to working together with you on full OTR support for Telepathy. <TABLE CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="100%"> <TR> <TD> -- - - Jordan Quote: "Opportunities multiply as they are seized."

Thank you. > I'm also willing to help develop an OTR-capable Telepathy/Empathy, but having Gabble as the target, instead of Butterfly. Besides coding I also want to help with interface review / definition. I'm planning to work on this as a GSoC project, so I would like to know from the spec people if there is someone available to review and support the specification of this interface, in order to have it defined and accepted in a reasonable amount of time. I'm not trying to put pressure here, just trying to figure out if the whole task would fit in the GSoC schedule. Here you can find my GSoC proposal for this project, under the GNOME umbrella: <A HREF="http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2011/jprvita/1">http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2011/jprvita/1</A>. Feel free to comment on that here on the ML or on melange if you want. Cheers! -- João Paulo Rechi Vita <A HREF="http://jprvita.wordpress.com/">http://jprvita.wordpress.com/</A> </PRE> </BODY> </HTML>
