Modify Jabber clients to use nicknames

Posted on the 2007/10/13

Why on earth someone thought a Jabber ID (jid) was more useful than a contact-set nickname is beyond me. So I'll add it. Strangely, in some it works for MSN-transport contacts, but not Jabber ones!

Add Jingle support to Jabber clients

Posted on the 2007/10/13

There's still a depressingly limited number of clients that support any kind of audio connections, let alone video ones. Jingle is Jabber's way of handling thee, and so I'll need to add it if I have to in order to support A/V to MSN contacts.

Add Jingle->MSN Audio support to a MSN Jabber transport

Posted on the 2007/10/13

As Jabber-to-Jabber is defined, and MSN-to-MSN is defined, then in theory the transport should be able to act as a gateway and convert between the two. I doubt the avergae Jabber server would be able to support many, but it should be able to handle a few.

Add Jingle->MSN Video support to a MSN Jabber transport

Posted on the 2007/10/13

As Jabber-to-Jabber is defined, and MSN-to-MSN is defined, then in theory the transport should be able to act as a gateway and convert between the two. I doubt the avergae Jabber server would be able to support many, but it should be able to handle a couple.

An alternative would perhaps be to delegate the conversion to another host.

Write/obtain SyncML server

Posted on the 2007/10/13

I've only found a few SyncML servers, and of those, practically all of them are part of a larger groupware solution I don't want or need. I just need a basic server that I can sync multiple clients to.

Write/obtain SyncML plugin for Thunderbird

Posted on the 2007/10/13

Once I have a functional server, I need a way of syncing Thunderbird's address book with it. I couldn't find anything, so I'll have to write one. This will probably help whilst writing the server, what with both being easy-to-debug PC software I'll have the source for.

Write/obtain better calendaring software for S60v3

Posted on the 2007/10/13

The built-in calendar software sucks, feature-wise. No way to have recurring tasks, all items require dates, only meetings support times, the list goes on.

Get OGG MMF plugin working with Nokia's S60v3 media player

Posted on the 2007/10/13

Symbian has an architecture for adding new format support, but with the S60v3 code-signing madness, they have prevented it from interacting with the media player in a fit of DRM-related stupidity. Gettign the existing OGGPlay code signed (and probably debugged is required for this.

Get OGG recogniser plugin working with Nokia's S60v3

Posted on the 2007/10/13

If OGGs are to become first-class file types, they'll need a recogniser so that they'll play in the media player and get downloaded correctly.

Write Windows XP Gina replacement

Posted on the 2007/10/13

The default XP login sucks. It doesn't support fast user switching for domains etc. FMLogin solves most of these problems, but it has bugs, is infrequently updated, and is essentially closed source. An open source version would help.
