Platform aims to be a communications service designed for both real-time and asynchronous communication between two or more clients across multiple modalities such as text, voice, and video.
- Host private communication between two or more clients
- Use and extend (as needed) existing Internet protocols
- Support multiple hardware and operating system platforms
- Develop, run, and scale using commodity hardware
- Provide friendly and feature rich user interfaces
- Create and foster a positive / inclusive development community
Protocol support will always be a moving target for this project but the following are the proposed starting point.
IRC is a proven one to many communications protocol with ubiquitous client support. Version 3 of the protocol can be extended making it an ideal candidate for this project.
SMTP is another proven one to many communications protocol with ubiquitous client support. It only makes sense to support email as an asynchronous communication method.
