Roadmap and Taks

Open Tasks

Tough Nuts to Crack

Important tasks that are difficult to solve.

• iOS: Configure wifi (switch wifi on, select network, set ad hoc mode)
• Android: load adhoc enabled driver kernel-module on as many devices as possible.

Bugs

As of now there are no known bugs in Qaul.net .

Tasks

• Ad hoc on Android working [mathjud]
• Better iOS version
• Code review for stability and security
• file sharing: smaller chunk size
• file sharing: validation of the file hash
• GUI: user control of the downloaded installers (they shall be deletable and reviewed towards their file hash and version)

New Features

• Trusted users Discussion, about how a known friend can be signed (share a private / public key?) in qaul.
• Message queues: Private messages shall be sent via libqaul and not directly from the browser. The messages shall be queued if a user is not reachable, and sent again when he is reachable. The user should see in the user discovery how many unread private messages he has from which user.
• Make mulitcast broadcasts possible.
• qaul.net ring tone, new message information sound: Play a ring tone when someone calls.
• qaul.net configurable information system let the user configure how and when he likes to be informed: vibrating, sound; new incoming message, new private message, voice call, download finished...
• Web application extension system: Create an web application extension system that gives access to the built in qaul message flooding system and the user discovery. Web apps shall be shareable via file sharing in qaul.net and automatically install after download. They shall be invoked in the web server. The Idea is to have a special zip file (lets say .qap for qaul app) that contains web content (HTML, CSS, JS, images etc.) that can be executed in a web server.
• User icons Every user can choose a user icon. Those icons will be downloaded via file sharing.
