VTIRC Story
A Doorbell Denouement
This version of the DS doorbell supports workout of the peephole feature, bound to the Face link.
Generic IRC Videotelephony
with advisement for the 100 in mind.
root jitsi domain
Straightforward merge of vendor abstracted VT with existing IRC networks and a tui and gui client below, create a meeting at the root jitsi domain, joinable by anyone knowing the meet id. The service from the jitsi apex is just vanilla jitsi meet with some adjustments for anonymous use in this story and use with whatever you are already using for IRC.The per channel subdomainsE.g. libera.jitsi.sameboat, prolog.jitsi.sameboat, etc, have features beyond vanilla jitsi meet with specifics set in some users DS profile with VT privilege, bundled with Y class and higher entitlement. Joiners to such a meet id can be anonymous or unentitled AKPERSONs like ordinary IRC channels with per channel requirements for registered nicks or not but with coordination with the DCMS support for the IRC channel/room.
I have adapted irssi and xchat for this story and the commands available in a mcpcms shell will be those versions ready to execute.
While DS IRC and native (jitsi) VT are modified, in the general case neither IRC servers nor 3rd party VT services are intended to be modified so this story presumes eventual integration of those services and is from start intended to work with existing IRC networks. The design intent is generic first.
Adapted Clients
A reason you might want to build these, besides for the features of this story, is support for the OTR protocol, supported from our jitsi domain with build of either from these sources on your linux host with the build requirements for them:
Bitlbee as used here also has the feature but it is not supported as an alternative for above. The links above will later be links to installable binary packages but currently you will need to be able to build binaries from the source repos.
*.jitsi.sameboat have E-E enabled and those of third parties will be supported similarly.
