| | | Google Talk/Hangouts is one of the most popular networks to chat on now and is available over XMPP. Unfortunately, Google has slowly been breaking the interaction with their XMPP bridge such that features stop working. It is desirable to connect directly to Google Hangouts using their proprietary protocol. This would involve: | ||
* Adding a new Google Hangouts protocol | |||
* Improving and expanding shared code and APIs used by all JavaScript protocol plugins (IRC, XMPP, Yahoo and Twitter) | |||
* Improving documentation of the process for adding a protocol to Thunderbird | |||
* Reversing engineering of the network protocol | |||
* Using the protocol on a day-to-day basis to dog-food the code | |||
