|
| Real time Communication has traditionally been a detached feature of Desktop Computing, provided via stand-alone Instant Messaging clients with poor integration into the desktop experience. One of the primary goals of the KDE 4 series is to tighten integration between different components of the environment. The Realtime Communication and Collaboration (RTCC) project aims to tackle just this.
| | ==[[/Getting_Involved | Getting Involved]]== |
|
| |
|
| Our aims are:
| | ==[[/Developers | Information For Developers]]== |
| * To integrate Real Time Communication deeply into the KDE Workspaces and Applications
| |
| * To provide a infrastructure to aid development of Collaborative features for KDE applications.
| |
|
| |
|
| If you find these goals appealing, why not consider [[#Getting_Involved|getting involved]]. C++ programming is *not* a necessity.
| | ==[[/Testers | Information For Testers]]== |
|
| |
|
| ==Technical Information== | | ==[[/Packaging_Guide | Information for Packagers]]== |
| | |
| * The RTCC project uses the cross-desktop [http://telepathy.freedesktop.org Telepathy Framework] as the basis for our work.
| |
| * We should try and reuse code from Kopete/other already existing code wherever possibly. However, this should be balanced with the need to refactor/rewrite where appropriate to keep the new code true to Telepathy idioms.

| | |
| ==Getting Started==
| |
| Before you start playing with/hacking on the Telepathy integration stuff, you need to get it all compiled: [[Real-Time_Communication_and_Collaboration/Getting_Set_Up|Instructions]]
| |
| | |
| {{Warning|If you are a distro packager, please [[Real-Time_Communication_and_Collaboration/Packaging_Guide|see here for information on packaging KDE-Telepathy]]}}
| |
| | |
| ==The Plan==
| |
| 1) Build components equivalent to a traditional IM application, using Kopete code as much as possible, and integrating with other Pillars of KDE where appropriate.
| |
| | |
| 2) Add advanced Telepathy features such as voice/video.
| |
| | |
| 3) Build components and Convenience classes to enable real-time communication and collaboration features in any KDE SC app that wants them.
| |
| | |
| ==Getting Involved==
| |
| At this stage, the best way to get involved is to contact the existing team, either on IRC (#kde-telepathy channel on irc.freenode.net) or on our [https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-telepathy mailing list].

| |
| | |
| ===Workflow===
| |
| If you want to work on a feature, clone the git repository on the server side and then clone your personal clone on your local machine. Make a new git branch and start working there. Try to keep commits small and meaningful. Once you are finished, push the branch on your server-side clone and ask someone of the team to review it. Once it is reviewed, you can merge it on the master repository (or ask someone else to merge it).
