OSD/DPS Fall 2018 Open Source Projects
This a first draft at starting some open source projects in our course. The following are the most requested projects as suggested by your colleagues.
Tips on starting an open source project:

- https://opensource.guide/starting-a-project/
1. DarkChatter decentralized messaging over low-level WiFi
New project to build ad-hoc, mesh-networking style messaging.
Repo: TBD
Research
- https://www.opengarden.com/firechat/ (proprietary) does something like this over bluetooth and wifi on iOS and Android
- Android supports WiFi Direct https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/p2p/package-summary (iOS doesn't seem to)
- Pure p2p wifi at low level doesn't seem supported without rooting your Android Phone
- https://github.com/moarpepes/awesome-mesh#software has some good links to mesh networking projects we might be able to use

3. Speech-To-Text for HTML Coding in VSCode
New project to build a Visual Studio Extension that allows voice commands for creating HTML documents.
Need to write a VSCode Extension, pick a Speech-To-Text library to integrate, create a "grammar" or "vocabulary" bound to commands for inserting HTML tags.
Repo: TBD
Research
- Lots of other existing VSCode extension projects on GitHub
- https://docs.ourcodeworld.com/projects/artyom-js for voice commands?

4. Turn-based creative writing web app
New project to build a turn-based creative writing app, where people can collaborate on writing stories.
Research
- Lots of existing editor tech we could use:
- Questions:
- Support for Mobile?
- Support for text based?
- Support for other platforms? Slack, Discord, ???
- Serverless or with a backend? Do you want accounts, publishing, etc, or p2p with some kind of WebRTC style networked system?
- Publishing of final product into different formats? e.g., https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor.js

5. Seneca Student Personal GitHub Dashboard
New project to create a web-based GitHub Dashboard suitable for Seneca students doing open source. Some ideas:

- track projects you want to try next, showing you possible good bugs you could do
Research
- Lots of GitHub dashboards already exist that might do some of what we want.
- Even more web dashboard components and projects we could use
- GitHub API allows for querying data easily
