Redbrick Wishlist

This is Redbrick wishlist of projects that could do with coding.

Replacement for hey

• Er, without some kind of requirements, it's hard to understand why this is needed? What are you thinking of here? -- Pooka
• How about "Addition" to hey, or an alternative framework to allow heys to be sent to different places (web, MSN/AIM window) -- Kpodesta
• Maybe build it on top of jabber then we could hey people on other servers/networks (including google talk etc ) -- kyper

Web boards

• Currently under development by art_wolf (PHP), link (perl) and Shimoda (Java). -- JohnDoyle - 20 Jul 2005

features of links RedbrickNews

• threading
• ability to view only unread posts in group
• ability to view all posts in group
• two way sync of read posts (post read on web marked as read in slrn,posts read in slrn marked read on web)
• displays only groups you are subscribed to in slrn
• basic rot13 support
• article posting
• article canceling
• newsgroup search (support lucene syntax)

Useful features implemented upon request to link

Simple interface to Redbrick

• For instance Flin/Flash or a seperate app, in java or c++. Shimoda suggested an app and have tabs to chat, the boards, heys etc. -- JohnDoyle - 20 Jul 2005
• If there's going to be a seperate app it should not be in favour of flin/flash but a seperate interface, again. I think a full web solution would cover a GUI but if people are interested in a seperate GUI then fire ahead with it. More options == better in the end of the day. -- Halenger
