1. Banter ToDo List

This is a list of tasks that are yet to be done in the Banter project. If you are looking to jump in and do some work on Banter, this is a great place to start.

The project runs on weekly iterations that end each Friday at 12:00 PM MST. On Fridays at 2:00 PM, the project maintainers meet on the #banter IRC channel (irc.gimp.org) to plan the next week's iteration. This list is used as the basis for planning iterations. The current iterations and release schedule is located on the Banter 0.1.x Development Series page.

Banter TODOs
Date	Task	Description	Assignee(s)	Notes
	ContactStyle Prefs Page	Load ContactStyles and allow user to choose and preview the styles		The ThemeManager already loads and validates all ContactStyles and even provides a model to load them into a UI. The UI needs to display the ContactStyles and set the current style using the ThemeManager. This is all UI code, the guts are already done.
	AppStyle Prefs Page	Load AppStyles and allow user to choose and preview		Before this can be done, the AppStyles need to be designed and implemented. After AppStyles are done, the ThemeManager will load and validate all AppStyles and provide a model for the UI to display them. The UI should allow the user to select the current AppStyle and use the ThemeManager to set it.
	Notification Prefs Page	Set prefs on notification
	Mission Control	Integration of Telepathy Mission Control in Banter
	Account Prefs Page	If needed (if Mission Control doesn't already provide this)
	AppStyles	Design and implement "Theming" for the application		The AppStyle will most likely contain an XML file that describes the colors, icons, and fonts to be used by Banter. The AppStyle may also determine if the GroupWindows have borders and any other cool Theme like prefs. The ThemeManager handles the loading and management of AppStyles.
	Graphics	All of the graphics for the app (icon, controls, etc)
	Docs	Documentation of Banter
	Sounds	Set of sounds for all events and actions
	Log	Be able to log and save chat sessions
	Log History	Show previous log history when opening chat window
	Spell Check	On the fly spell checking in chat window
	Emoticons	Whatever set of these we are going to support
	Styles	Default set of App, Message, and Contact Styles		If you are an HTML/CSS/Javascript guru this is your task! We would like to have several default sets of Styles (Themes) for Banter. We would also welcome input here on how the ContactStyles and AppStyles should be built.
	Contact Sync	Full Sync between Telepathy and EDS		The PersonSync class today only pushes Telapathy contacts into EDS. This needs to be changed into a full sync. When Telepathy Contacts are removed, the appropriate properties should be removed from EDS. When EDS contacts are changed (added, deleted, or modified) the appropriate Telepathy Contacts/Groups should be created/modified/deleted.
	Email	Email integration, notification of emails, and creation of emails
	Badge Notification	Notify on Contact ability badges (5 emails, 4 text chats, etc.)
	Group UI	Remove groups and be able to add/remove people into groups.
