GSoC Project Proposal: Integrated Chat System

Nico,

there is already an argentinian student who proposed a project to work on a Jabber Client/Server. The project is here http://gsoc2013.esug.org/projects#h-45

But, this project does not have a mentor. Maybe you can join and both projects merged? :)

Hi everyone,

I have an idea for a project. Let my explain it:

Context / Business need

I teach OOP at the university with Pharo. Every week our students have to solve some assignments programming with Pharo. We would like to have an integrated chat system into Pharo in order to be able to assist our students when they are working on the assignments. 

Vision

I imagine this chat to allow the exchange of text but it should also allow to send "a class or a category" so the teacher (or other student) can analyse/reproduce a situation/error. Even more, it could use fuel to serialize the error and share it.

From the implementation point of view I image this like a client-server system. Each subject/institution could have its own server, then the students/teacher, open Pharo, start the chat client and connect to the selected server.

What do you think? 

If there is a student interested in this I could be the mentor.

Regards,

Saludos!
