It was written in python and uses zeromq as a way to pass data between nodes. Each node connects to other nodes and allows a user to chat. The end goal is to have a resilient chat network that auto discovers nodes on a mesh network.<br /> <br /> ==Protocol==<br /> The Quilt protocol is a simple text based protocol over zeromq. zeromq can send multi-part messages and quilt takes advantage of that as a separate between different sections of a message.<br /> Current protocol:<br /> * join -- [routing, destination, &quot;join,&quot; user, channel]<br /> * part -- [routing, destination, &quot;part&quot;, user, channel]<br /> * message -- [routing, destination, &quot;message&quot;, user, channel, message]<br /> * ping [routing, destination, &quot;ping&quot;, server]<br /> * pong [routing, destination, &quot;pong&quot;, server]<br /> * server_connect [routing, destination, &quot;server_connect&quot;, our_address, our_port]<br /> <br /> ==Project Setup==<br /> The project has 2 main folders and several other sub folders.<br /> * tests<br /> ** Unit tests for Quilt are located here<br /> <br /> * quilt<br /> ** This folder holds the source code for quilt it has 1 sub folder<br /> ** __init__.py stores the core quilt code for threading and running the server<br /> ** protocol.py holds the protocol implementation<br /> ** models<br /> *** Models holds classes for storing data in a way that will be accessible beyond the QuiltProtocol object in protocol.py<br /> <br /> ==Dependencies==<br /> ===Core===<br /> *pyzmq-static<br /> ===Unit tests===<br /> *nose<br /> <br /> ==TODO==<br /> The current todo list is as follows:<br /> * Rewrite the routing implementation to be much smarter<br /> * Hook the avahi node discovery code into the core system<br /> * Improved UI<br /> * rewrite documentation<br /> <br /> ==Core contributors==<br /> *[https://github.com/rossdylan Ross Delinger]<br /> *[https://github.com/WillDignazio Will Dignazio]<br /> <br /> ==Links==<br /> * [https://github.com/FOSSRIT/quilt Quilt Github]</div>
