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.

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) |
|
|
|
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. |
|
|

All of the graphics for the app (icon, controls, etc) |

|
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. |
|

|
|
Badge Notification |
Notify on Contact ability badges (5 emails, 4 text chats, etc.) |
