+As time has gone on, I've started seeing the "Slack" chat platform become more and more popular. I see this as both a good thing, in that it promotes communication within teams, and a bad thing, in that it's not controlled by the company that actually subscribes to it, and it isn't free software. Because of the benefit, and as a response to the issues, I've decided to build this application, "Meeting of the Minds", built on standards and free software so it's likely to stay around for a long time. Thus, the goal is to produce an application that gives the following features:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Archival
|
|
|
+ - Group Messaging
|
|
|
+ - Easily Defined Groups
|
|
|
+ - User-to-user Messaging
|
|
|
+ - Simple Management
|
|
|
+ - Freedom
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+To accomplish this task, I've decided to build using the following tools and suites:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - IRC :: The Internet Relay Chat protocol. I've chosen this as the transport protocol as it's been around for quite some time, and is well supported.
|
|
|
+ - PostgreSQL :: An SQL storage backend. This will be a way to store metadata about conversations, topics, users and projects, allowing for data archival. I've chosen PostgreSQL as it has many advanced features and is very space efficient.
|
|
|
+ - Common Lisp :: The server implementation language. I've chosen to use Common Lisp to implement Meeting of the Minds for the following reasons:
|
|
|
+ - Familiarity
|
|
|
+ - Flexibility
|
|
|
+ - Library availability
