...I had a chat with our developer, and he says that we are basically
doing exactly the same thing as specified in XEP-0166 ( abstract
requirement is to establish a session between two (or more) entities
which can be used to transfer an arbitrary bytestream).
The only difference is that we are using SIP as the signaling protocol
instead of XMPP.
Programming should be pretty straight forward, the hard (and
important) thing in order to come up with a platform- and implementation
independent solution would be to write a specification for the signaling
protocol with respect to desktop screen sharing everyone could agree
upon. I.e where the clients could negotiate how the screen sharing would
be handled, which protocol to use, .... Pretty much how video is setup.
A protocol where the client and server could say "I speak RDP" or "I
speak VNC".
I think that this group would be the best place to come up with that
specification if we want to create support for desktop screen sharing
that is not bound to a certain implementation.
What are your thoughts?
Best regards,
Niklas

Hi,
I didn't knew about Swift. Had a quick look at it and it is indeed
interesting.
It would be great if there could be a XMPP reference implementation
for how desktop screen sharing should be carried out. And if Swift
could provide that baseline it would be a great starting point for
other IM-clients to implement the same in order to be compatible.
We would love to see Swift implement the screen sharing features we
have contributed to the FreeRDP-project. Quality is Enterprise Level
and the library is written in C. Support is written mainly for X11 on
Linux, but there is experimental support for Windows and Mac OS X also.
If there would be a reference implementation in Swift for example, I
could approach other projects (I am connected to Pidgin) to make
something compatible and cross-platform.
The only bad thing is that we must use FreeRDP head, or use their
nightly builds for upcoming FreeRDP 2.0. (FYI: We have also
contributed to libnice project for ICE/TURN things, many patches are
already merged and available upstream but some is not yet released.
They'll come in libnice 0.1.14)
Best regards,
Niklas

A polite reminder. At the moment only Swift has any ideas here, which
is not good!

Hi folks,
Could those people who intend putting up ideas (for their own
projects, don’t go suggesting things on behalf of other people,
please) for GSoC students please fill in
http://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Summer_of_Code_2016 in the usual format By
Wednesday At The Latest. If you’re in doubt about whether you’re
suitable as a mentor, please get in touch with me, but some general
guidelines:
Must be willing to dedicate an hour a day (in the usual case) up to
about 2 hours a day (if you’re unlucky) every work day for the
duration of the summer to mentor the students.
Must be mentoring for your own software project.
Must be known and of high standing in the XSF.
Must be able to do a reasonable job of actively mentoring a student,
not simply expecting them to get on with writing code unsupervised.
Any questions, please discuss.
/K
