==[[/Getting_Involved | Getting Involved]]==


==Introduction==
==[[/Developers | Information For Developers]]==


Real time Communication has traditionally been a detatched feature of Desktop Computing, provided via stand-alone Instant Messaging clients with poor integration into the desktop experience. One of the primary goals of the KDE 4 series is to tighten integration between different components of the environment. The Realtime Communication and Collaboration (RTCC) project aims to tackle just this.
==[[/Testers | Information For Testers]]==


Our aims are:
==[[/Packaging_Guide | Information for Packagers]]==
* To integrate Real Time Communication deeply into the KDE Workspaces and Applications
* To provide a infrastructure to aid development of Collaborative features for KDE applications.


If you find these goals appealing, why not consider [[#Getting_Involved|getting involved]]. C++ programming is *not* a necessity.


==Technical Information==


* The RTCC project uses the cross-desktop [http://telepathy.freedesktop.org Telepathy Framework] as the basis for our work.
[http://community.kde.org/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&prefix=KTp&namespace=0 All other pages]
* We should try and reuse code from Kopete/other already existing code wherever possibly. However, this should be balanced with the need to refactor/rewrite where appropriate to keep the new code true to Telepathy idioms.
 
==Getting Involved==
At this stage, the best way to get involved is to contact the existing team, either on IRC (#kde-telepathy channel on irc.freenode.net) or on our [https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-telepathy mailing list].
 
==The Work==
 
What we need to get done. This is divided into two sections:
* [[#Phase_1|Phase 1]] contains the tasks which *must* be completed in order for us to make a first release.
* [[#Phase_2|Phase 2]] contains other speculative major features that we will probably implement once [[#Phase_1|Phase 1]] is complete.
 
=== Phase 1 ===
 
These are the essential tasks which must be completed before we can make a first release. Adding or removing tasks from this list requires a consensus on the kde-telepathy mailing list first. Click on a task title for further information about that task.
