资源说明：An IRC replacement for the modern age
Sockityak
================================================================================
Trying out README driven development.
================================================================================
A replacement for IRC, meant for ADI consumption
APPNAME = Sockityak; subject to changes
STORIES
================================================================================
1.) Bob is a normal college student at Columbia, who is also
interested in computer science (this makes him highly abnormal, but
nevermind). He wants to talk about some programming things once in a
while, but the main avenue for connecting the ADI executive board
(e-board) is through IRC, which no one is on, or the committee
list-serv, which isn't an informal conversation thing. When APPNAME
comes out, he tries it out: after finding the general chat
conversation not to his fancy, he tries to talk about something else:
this thread of conversation is forked, and eventually some ADI members
find his thread after getting notifications of his new channel, and
they have a nice real-time conversation.
2.) John is an ADI e-board member: he doesn't know what the community
members want, so he asks them on APPNAME. Since APPNAME has become a
hangout for the Columbia tech community, he gets responses within a
day (a reasonable amount of time!) and even strikes up an hour of
furious debate. He gets the feedback from the people that care most,
especially outside of the e-board.
3.) Nathan is bored, and wants to talk. He logs on to APPNAME, and
makes a meme-thread. Everyone has fun posting silly pictures of each
other, and many lols are had.
GOALS
================================================================================
- Provide a highly asynchronous chat
- Interval digests
- Tiered notifications
- Twitter-like conventions (@ (mention), # (tag))
- Some extensions to the twitter conventions
(!@ (immediate notify), ## (channel), @##channel:line (reply to line),
@# (notify tag watchers), )
- Autocomplete EVERYTHING
- Add in a +1/like infrastructure
- XMPP integration (digests/notifications)
- smart digests (new tags, @, highly voted treated specially,
both new topics and watched topics)
- IRC integration (single channel)
- rate-limiting
- ban-hammer: channel and org-wide
- forking model
- NLP to determine whether a user would want to know about this update
- NLP to determine topic name
- Voting system for topic changes, merges(?)
- Ensure University association for chat
- Possibly access control (users against orgs/threads)
- Possibly organization separation
- Learn tornado and redis and mongodb
TODO
================================================================================
- X Get Redis running
- X Get Python+Redis working (apt-get install python-redis)
- X Get Tornado running (pip install tornado, ubuntu current is 1.2)
- X Get Tornado+Redis running (simple updates)
- X Get AJAX-y Tornado+Redis running
- X Get real time chat
- X Add channels
- X switch to json format in chat data
- X define an extensible json schema (if you consider "type"/"message")
- X Add auth (google oauth, or facebook oauth. or both)
- X remake redis sessions
- X Switch to mongodb (except sessions, pubsub)
- X check sessions are still valid after each message
- Probably clean up the styles right about here
- front page
- X channel list
- X channel
- settings
- who's in the room list? / past participants (sadd, srem)
- X Add title-page notification
- X Add audio notifications
- easy mute?
- Add email notifications
- add "watch" mechanism
- once per message, if you're not already connected
- digest (hourly)
- digest (daily, weekly, hourly)
- Parse out @ and #
- get XMPP working
- !@ - direct notification (marked digest, email, XMPP, text)
- lots of if-this-then-that functionality
- redis-based rate-limiting
USING
================================================================================
- Tornado
- Redis
- MongoDB
- asyncmongo
- websockets
- jQuery
- backbone.js
CONCERNS
================================================================================
- Grove.io?
- Still based on IRC
- Does not seem to have tiered notifications
- No NLP fanciness
- No forking model
- Not voting system
- Won't learn Tornado unless I build APPNAME
