Toxcore todo list.

Welcome to the Toxcore todo list, this is very likely out of date, but either way it's a good jumping off point if you're looking to see where core is going, or where it could use a little love.

There are 3 sections; In Progress, TODO, and Done. These tasks are somewhat sorted by priority, but that shouldn't be taken to mean that this is the order tasks will (or should) be completed in.

In Progress

• [IN PROGRESS] Audio/Video
  • [DONE] encoding/streaming/decoding
  • [DONE] Call initiation
  • [DONE] Encryption
  • [NEEDS TESTING] Video packet splitting.
  • [IN PROGRESS] Auditing.
  • [IN PROGRESS] Prevent audio skew (seems to be easily solvable client side.)
  • [IN PROGRESS] Group chats, audio done.
• Networking:
  • [NEEDS TESTING] UPnP port forwarding. (#969)
  • [TODO] NAT-PMP port forwarding.
• DHT:
  • [ALMOST DONE] Metadata collection prevention. (docs/Prevent_Tracking.txt)
  • [IN PROGRESS] Hardening against attacks.
  • [IN PROGRESS] Optimizing the code.
• [DONE] Friend only group chats
  • [DONE] Networking base.
  • [MOSTLY DONE] Syncing chat state between clients (nicknames, list of who is in chat, etc...)
  • [TODO] Group private messages. (and adding friends from group chats using those private messages.)
  • [TODO] Group file transfers.
• [IN PROGRESS] Friends list syncing
• [IN PROGRESS] Make toxcore thread safe.
• [MOSTLY DONE] A way for people to connect to people on Tox if they are behind a bad NAT that blocks UDP (or is just unpunchable) (docs/TCP_Network.txt) (Current way doesn't scale very well.)
