hi...
now that the backend is mostly done, i am thinking about
a GUI for netjack.
i already found gtknetsource.py on my HD, i started mucking
with that some months ago.
i plan to extend that thingy now.
but setting up the connection, and getting IP addresses
of users is still a PITA.
i am thinking along the lines of an IM like thing,
based on jabber.
i am not seeing good options to making this available
in the various IM clients.
thats why i would rather like to have modified jabberd running
on
jackaudio.org or at the consortium servers.
it would not support chatting or stuff.
only show who is online. and if a session is running.
it would only make the IP of a user available when he agrees,
to open session... blabla... security.
so basically you click on your buddy, to open a session.
buddy agrees.
IP of buddy is transmitted. tool measures connection.
provides you with some options.
ie compression ratio, number of channels, latency, who is master ?
and starts the netjack session.
telepathy and tubes? jokosher imho has/had a prototype in python for some
collborative editing.
gabble has no implementation of UDP tubes yet.
haze does not even have any tube support yet.
i will reconsider, when we are there.
its also not clear to me, how i should add my connection type into
the telepathy system without writing my own connection manager.
and i dont think clients would autodetect the new connection type
anyways.
I would be happy if you prove me wrong, because just writing a
dbus component wrapping some popen calls, would be the easiest
way of doing things.
with irclib, or some jabber equivalent i guess this stuff would
be around 200-300 lines of python code added to the current
gtknetsource.py
re tubes:
i am (just a little bit) concerned how much additional jitter,
a non SCHED_FIFO reflector would add to the mix on a higly loaded system.
