| Improve the JavaScript XMPP implementation and implement new features. | |||
| Includes better error handling, implementing multi-user chats (MUCs), test coverage and adding new/missing features. Feature-parity with libpurple's XMPP implementation is one of the prerequisites for replacing it with the JavaScript implementation and is an end-goal of this project. Students are expected to compile a list of bugs or unimplemented features in the JavaScript XMPP code. | |||
| JavaScript, XPCOM, an understanding of XMPP is desired | |||

| Implement a new protocol plug-in in JavaScript | |||
| Instantbird supports protocol plugins implemented in JavaScript. The student will add support for a new protocol in Instantbird. The student working on new protocols should take every opportunity to improve the code and APIs shared by all JavaScript protocol plugins (IRC, XMPP, Yahoo and Twitter). It is expected that the student research the feasibility of interoperability concerns of the protocol during the application period. Students are expected to implement a protocol they use on a day-to-day basis to dog-food the code. | |||
| JavaScript, XPCOM, maybe js-ctypes, understanding of network protocols | |||

| Infinite scroll | |||
| Add additional messages from the logs on-demand as the user scrolls up/down. Old messages should be removed when no longer needed, while not breaking any existing features. | |||
