Hello, I'm a CS student from Germany and I'm interested in implementing Firefox Sync support for Epiphany. Before actually writing a proposal, I want to make sure somebody is interested in mentoring me.
Adding Firefox Sync would, for example, allow the following scenarios. * Sync between Epiphany and Firefox on Android * Sync between multiple Epiphany instances on different computers * Sync between Firefox and Epiphany on the same computer (easy importing, for users who switch from Firefox to Epiphany) Firefox Sync encrypts the data on your local machine before sending it to the server, which means the server is not able to see the synced content. And since Epiphany is very privacy-oriented (for example by using DuckDuckGo as the default search provider), Firefox Sync would be a perfect addition to Epiphany. It also allows users to set up their own sync servers, so users don't have to rely on Mozilla's servers. I have previous programming experience in multiple languages (including C), network programming with sockets, etc. My latest project was building an Android multiplayer game (was an university project) in a team of four people. I have also already done some research on Firefox Sync and how to implement it. Is there somebody interested in being my mentor in GSoC 2014? If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks, Daniel Renninghoff _______________________________________________ epiphany-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/epiphany-list
