This will +make Monal fully compatible with jmp.chat, like Snikket is already. +- **Rewrite Chat UI:** +Our current chat UI is still UIKit-based and it's hard to improve it or fix some UI glitches. We want +to rewrite and modernize the whole chat UI using SwiftUI. This will not only simplify maintenance a +lot and allow us to fix these UI glitches, but also enable us to implement modern XMPP features +like message reactions, message styling, message replies or mentions (see Appendix I for a full list +of XEPs). +- **UI work: Implement Message Reactions, Rich Replies and Stickers:** +Implement UI and backend for message reactions (XEP-0444), rich replies (XEP-0461) and +Stickers, once the chat UI is ported to SwiftUI +- **XSF work:** +After having successfully worked on the SASL2 XEP-suite, I want to modernize XEP-0389: Extensible In-Band Registration to also send only password hashes +instead of cleartext passwords (similar to password upgrades specced in XEP-0480: SASL Upgrade Tasks) +- **Write documentation of Monal internals:** +After having started to publish a blog series and wiki articles about Monal's internals (beginning +with the Handlers Framework), I want to publish blog and wiki articles on our XML query-language +(intentionally based on the XPath-like syntax of Prosody's query language), the PubSub/PEP +framework, Model-Classes used as data sources for our UI (MLContact, MLMessage etc.) and +possibly more. + +**Thanks again to NLNet for fund this!**
