Private messaging focused phase 2

PP Pirate Praveen Public Seen by 359

First phase was targetting normal users, I propose we do a second phase targetting student contributions to xmpp based encryption, improving apps like conversations, chatsecure, kontalk to interoperate. OMEMO should be available everywhere and should be default.

  • We should visit campuses where Free Software already has roots.
  • We should talk to all these projects and find mentors
  • We should crowd fund so students can be paid for their work.
  • Think of it like Google Summer of code or RailsGirls summer of code but focusing on standards based, federated, encrypted messaging

More ideas: Make it easy to run kontalk and diaspora from same xmpp server, initially as virtual hosts and later as integrated.

I am sorry if this was a private conversation. Saw the heading just now.

@anandj
No, its not a private conversation. Its "Private messaging", ie, end to end encrypted messaging.

We already got one interested student (Anuj Agrawal) and I have started introducing encryption tools to him. You can follow the tasks list here https://www.loomio.org/d/9FCbofzj suggest more tasks there.
