Project Name

Desktop Social Networking Integration

Project Description

Alter The Coop experimental extension so it uses generic API instead of Facebook specifically; put the generic API in the "desktop data engine" also used by BigBoard (and hopefully other desktop apps in the future). Resources: RH online desktop team.

Project Details

Scope

Based on conversations (IRC and Email) with project stakeholders for determining the scope and requirment the following ideas for direction were suggested:

  1. twitter status
    • issue is twitter is dependent on facebook api, but api is lacking
  2. to use another facebook service to the coop
  3. exchange service
  4. to treat "the desktop" as another service from coop's perspective
    • query desktop for coop merging from the desktop is the set of people displayied in BigBoard.
    • query desktop for coop merging (automatically?) from the desktop is account names ("eg. someone's Twitter account. I imagine Coop would want to keep this optional, only using the special desktop info when it's available." [Havoc's email])
  5. Adding support for more services to Coop
    • "is a much more direct and immediate win." [Havoc's email]
  6. Look to tie in with "journal" Firefox extension; developers Bryan and Colin


Other Notes:

  • Additional Thoughts from Havoc:
    • My suggestion is to think about the desktop as a single user experience and how it comes together. Our current prototype default config has bigboard on the left, the browser opens by default with the Journal, we have Pidgin running for chat, etc.

Milestone 1 - Release 0.1

To provide support for Twitter in the existing Coop API.

Use Cases

To see twitter message from people I know.

  1. Log into Twitter account from Coop
  2. List and view Twitter friends (followers only)
  3. View messages from friend

For release 0.1 I will be focusing on getting twitter support and integrated into the coop.

TODO

Bugs

  • twitter pane times out when login into twitter account initially
  • after first successful login during a session when you logout and switch to the facebook session a unsuccessful twitter login occurs.
  • logout for twitter
