General Discussion #3

Open akinnee opened 10 years ago

akinnee commented 10 years ago

Commenting on issues seems to be the closest thing to a message board on GitHub. I'll just keep this issue open for general discussion of any kind.

akinnee commented 10 years ago

Oh hi there!

Chuphay commented 10 years ago

hey it's david plotz here. call me dave or chuphay or chup.

I downloaded tornado and made the helloworld example work

this link http://www.tornadoweb.org/en/stable/websocket.html was too hard for me

couldn't make heads or tails of it

should I spend more time on that link or is there something that might be a little easier for me to follow?

akinnee commented 10 years ago

Check out the chat example https://github.com/jlittlethedon/CodeCademy-Chat-System/tree/master/examples/ChatDemo

Sounds like we want to build off this and add some more features.

timlittle commented 10 years ago

Hey guys, are you still working on this? If so i am happy to help

akinnee commented 10 years ago

It's open to be worked on. Not sure what the goals are at this point. Someone mentioned something about integrating the example above with Skype.

timlittle commented 10 years ago

How would we use skype? like take contact lists from it or use it for the communication part of it. Would we need to install Skype like Skype4Py or what?

Well seeing as Tornado is a Facebook product maybe we could look at using Facebook as well.

I am reading (http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920021292.do) at the moment which will help me usderstand tornado

Is it worth starting a freenode IRC channel so we can chat and discuss how we should tackle this project.

akinnee commented 10 years ago

For Skype integration, someone mentioned integrating with their API, so you wouldn't need to have Skype installed. I don't really know what the Skype API offers off the top of my head, that's something to look into.

Facebook integration would be nice, maybe the ability to invite your friends to the chat room?

timlittle commented 10 years ago

Well i cannot seem to see anywhere on Skype where you can integrate with their instant messenger platform. The only thing i can see is their Desktop API which means your app can interact with the skype app to make calls http://blogs.skype.com/2013/11/06/feature-evolution-and-support-for-the-skype-desktop-api/

Well Facbook use XMPP as their chat protocol so if the backend of our chat program used XMPP we could invite Facebook friends into the chat and things https://developers.facebook.com/docs/chat/

What do you think about creating an IRC channel for us to chat to help us flesh out some idea and get the project into swing

steelwolf180 commented 10 years ago

we could just discuss it over facebook instead of a IRC channel

timlittle commented 10 years ago

Sounds good, i am happy with anything that is quicker than the message board. It will help us plan the app quicker

steelwolf180 commented 10 years ago

I'll start off add my facebook account is steelwwolf180@gmail.com

timlittle commented 10 years ago

timlittle commented 10 years ago

I have added a new example for the chat server. It is it using sockets at the moment but i am going to try and refine it a bit and get it using websockets. Maybe using Tornado to do the websockets or Twisted.

I haven't really touched the ChatDemo.py as i am still reading up on Tornado which means educating myself on web frameworks and templating so i though i would start simple for now and see what kind of peoblems i encounter on a smaller/simpler chat server.

Let me know what you guys think?

timlittle commented 10 years ago

I have decided to join #codecademy channel on freenode. http://webchat.freenode.net/

Jump in when you guys are about and we can chat about how to get this project going.

steelwolf180 commented 10 years ago

Just give us the time and the timezone we will be having our discussion i will be there

steelwolf180 commented 10 years ago

Guys i had just found out that we could use something called Gitter as long as long as we have a Github account to login to discuss our project at https://gitter.im/‎ instead of the use of issues

akinnee commented 10 years ago

That's pretty cool.

timlittle commented 10 years ago

Do we already have a group chat on it or is it something we will need to create. Might be worth setting a time and all having a chat to get the project rolling.
