Enhance the chatting experience in Polari

Polari is GNOME's chat client for IRC (Internet Relay Chat). Over the summer I'll work on improving the following four areas and possibly more:

• Keyword notifications (Bug 723246)

• Error-handling (Bug 709846, 710848)

• Initial setup experience (Bug 711832, From Roadmap)

• Paste service support (Bug 726053, Bug 725088, Bug 722011, From Roadmap)

Work So far

• Documentation:

  • Glib: Better introduction to GVariant

  • GtkTextView Add note about how to get Line spacing

  • gtklabel.c: add note about set-markup property in gtk_set_markup()

• Polari:

  • Indicate users left the channel better

  • Message divider overlap text

  • highlight matches in user list search
