== What is Talkilla? ==
__TOC__


Talkilla uses [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Media/WebRTC WebRTC] to adds real-time communication dimension to the user's web browsing experience. It facilitates the development, distribution and uptake of real time communication services. Talkilla is initially designed for Firefox browsers but will also support other WebRTC browsers.
== Talkilla ==


The first service to be delivered in Talkilla will allow users to communicate in real time as they browse the web, and offer tools to share their online experience. Additional Service Providers will be able to leverage this framework to expose their service. For example, dialing out and receiving calls from the telephone network through the user's own telecommunication operator.
Talkilla is a webphone that makes it easy to talk with friends or co-workers as you browse the web. Make voice and video calls, chat across one or more web sites, share files and web  content as you navigate away to new websites or open new tabs. No need to install a new application or struggle back and forth with several windows.


Talkilla is the code-name for the project.
For example, make your next holiday planning more fun
* Click to call a phone number on the web
* Interact more naturally with video chat
* Comment instantly on what you see, share images and other web content
* Share links and documents for easy reference while chatting
* Accept incoming calls right in the browser


== Why Talkilla? ==
We've got exciting plans for the near future of Talkilla. We've got the basic features up and running; we'll be deploying more as we develop them over the coming months.
Integrating real time communications into the browser will enhance a user's browsing experience allowing conversations to continue alongside Web navigation and the improved sharing of online resources. With the integration into the browser also comes flexibility for users to easily shift calls between devices and locations.


WebRTC does not standardize peer discovery nor does it touch on contact and presence management. This is a significant hurdle for web sites to fully leverage Real Time Communication. Talkilla aims at offering some of those features through web application APIs, as a reflection of what individual Service Providers have to offer.
Upcoming features on our agenda include:
 
* Starting conversations without even requiring an account
In addition, Talkilla provides a set of ready made use cases UI in order to deliver a tightly integrated real time communication experience in the browser. Using those, operators will for example be able to expand their networks with Talkilla to let their users make and receive calls to and from the Internet and provide them with value-added services.
* Connecting to your preferred online address book
 
* Calling phone numbers
More generally, developers will be provided with APIs where they can hook into Talkilla and provide different functionalities and web applications for users based on Talkilla's core services.
 
== Goals ==
 
Talkilla will provide:
 
* an experience that allows people to communicate/interact to/with each other without boundaries
* an improved browsing experience
 
 
Talkilla will enable:
* an ecosystem to improve browsing experience
** usable by websites
** usable services providers

Talkilla

Talkilla is a webphone that makes it easy to talk with friends or co-workers as you browse the web. Make voice and video calls, chat across one or more web sites, share files and web content as you navigate away to new websites or open new tabs. No need to install a new application or struggle back and forth with several windows.

For example, make your next holiday planning more fun

  • Click to call a phone number on the web
  • Interact more naturally with video chat
  • Comment instantly on what you see, share images and other web content
  • Share links and documents for easy reference while chatting
  • Accept incoming calls right in the browser

We've got exciting plans for the near future of Talkilla. We've got the basic features up and running; we'll be deploying more as we develop them over the coming months.

Upcoming features on our agenda include:

  • Starting conversations without even requiring an account
  • Connecting to your preferred online address book
  • Calling phone numbers
